Plot

Yogendra (Mohan Babu) is the son of Panduranga Rao (Vijayakumar), a High Court judge who got the first rank in civil services examinations. Dunnapothula Janardhan Rao (Narra Venkateswara Rao), a politician, falsely implicates Yogi in a murder case to take revenge on Panduranga, who had earlier given a jail sentence to him in a corruption case. Panduranga gives the judgment for Yogi by jailing him for six years. After six years, Janardhan dies on the same day when Yogi is released from jail. Dunnapothula Dharma Rao (Mukesh Rushi), Janardhan's son, visits the shores of Godavari River to leave the ashes. Yogi foils the rites by resisting, then Dharma challenges Yogi that he is going to mix the ashes of his father in the Godavari before Yogi mixes the ashes of his father, who is still alive, one day. Meanwhile, Yogi falls in love with a beautiful girl named Anuradha (Preeti Jhangiani), the strong-willed and independent-minded daughter of Kaasi Visweswara Rao (Raghunatha Reddy), Dharma's henchman.

Suddenly, there is an appearance of a girl named Thulasi (Seema), who claims to be Panduranga's daughter, but Panduranga flatly refuses the claim and banishes her. Forced by circumstances and at the instigation help of Dharma, she reluctantly comes out open with the parentage claim. Yogi, at first, thrashes the protesters, but upon knowing the truth from his uncle Gnaneswara Rao (Kota Srinivasa Rao), he accepts the task of her protection in the capacity as her elder brother. Yogi decides to marry Thulasi to his good friend (Brahmaji). He also confronts his father and prods him to accept his mistake and acknowledge his parentage to Thulasi. Panduranga ultimately regrets and secretly goes on to confess to his daughter. The very next morning when Yogi returns home, Thulasi is found dead. Panduranga is accused of murdering her, but the whole act was planned by Dharma, who, after killing Thulasi, forces Satya Murthy (Suthi Velu), Panduranga's longtime servant, to testify against Panduranga in court. In court, Jagan (Nagarjuna Akkineni), a close friend of Yogi and famous leading criminal lawyer, appears as the defense council by cancelling his marriage with his girlfriend (Soundarya) for friendship and wins the case to lay bare the murder plot and the hidden intentions of baddies.

Finally, Panduranga is judged innocent of the crime by the court. After that, Yogi returns to his father, who now shows remorse for all his actions, including not believing in his son's innocence. Panduranga then dies at Yogi's feet. At Panduranga’s funeral, Dharma arrives to poke fun at Yogi and also tries to carry out Janardhan's postponed last rituals. Yogi interrupts the ritual and avenges for the deaths of his sister and father with Jagan's help.
