Plot

Arjun (Naga Chaitanya) is a dreamer who is experimenting with his own brand of drone. His parents Murali Krishna (Rao Ramesh) and Seetha Lakshmi (Revathi) are Good Samaritans, tending to the ill and resurrecting lives. His mother is a doctor, and his father is a pillar of strength in his life. Arjun lives with his parents and sisters. He falls in love with a medical intern named Anjali (Lavanya Tripathi).

Somewhere, a politician (Vinod Kumar) who has just committed a Rs. 3000 crore scam wants to divert the attention of the people by engineering serials blasts. Nayak (Srikanth), a gangster with a mafia-type network, is fielded by the politician's men to mastermind the blasts. On the day of the blasts, Arjun's parents go missing. When Arjun goes out in search of his missing parents, he realizes that there has always been more than what meets the eye in their lives. Meanwhile, Jaidev "JD" Shastri (Murali Sharma) is hell bent on cracking the blasts case.

Arjun finds his parents' bodies in a river. The police closes it as a car accident, but in the postmortem report, it is revealed that there is industrial water in their stomachs. Arjun complains about it to the police, and Nayak comes to know about this. He sends his goons to kill Arjun and his family. Arjun protects his family successfully from the goons and sends them to a faraway place. He comes to know that Nayak killed his parents as they were the prime witnesses to the bomb blasts. Arjun starts to fight back. A cat-and-mouse game ensures, and Arjun starts killing members of Nayak's gang, one by one. Finally, Arjun kills Nayak and makes it look like an accident. The film ends with him starting a peaceful life with his lady love and family.

Critical reception

The Times of India gave 3 out of 5 stars stating "Suffices to say that Yuddham Sharanam and Marimuthu impress with the emotional part but falter with the action drama. All said and done, this one might go down as Naga Chaitanya’s best action-film to date".[9] Firstpost gave 2.75 out of 5 stars stating "At a runtime of 140 minutes, Yuddham Sharanam tries to weave a convincing tale of revenge and love. There’s a lot to like about it, but then, at the same time, the film doesn’t let you immerse yourself in its world. And this distance just keeps growing as we flip through its pages".[10] Behindwoods gave 2.75 out of 5 stars stating "A well-made film that’s high on emotion and action".[11] IndiaGlitz gave 2.25 out of 5 stars stating "A film whose plot never seems to thicken, a climax which disappears without a whimper, simplistic scenes, lack of twists. Without 'sharanam'".[12]

gollark: You are definitely not doing devil advocacy here.
gollark: Seems entirely unrelated, thus confirming my impression that this is incomprehensible and poorly organized.
gollark: Hmm, this contains an actually sane-seeming and published-looking paper on crystal growth methods for some reason?
gollark: What even *is* this?
gollark: Why is there a folder labelled "Crystals" containing "NASA REPORTS"?
