An honest police officer (Ahuti Prasad) is transferred to the village and wants to reason behind the villagers cowardliness and he wants to trap Ranga Rao at any cost. After spending five years in jail for a murder, Raja (Nandamuri Balakrishna) is back to his village. Raja always gives a tough fight to Ranga Rao and the Inspector asks him what the reason is, behind his enmity against Ranga Rao.

In the past, Raja was a petty thief, he loves a girl Vidya (Vijayashanti) when she comes to know Raja is a thief she reports on him, then he reveals his past, Raja was an orphan who is living for his sister Lakshmi only (Seeta) and for her studies he is doing robberies. Lakshmi, after finishing her studies in the city, came back to her village. She is still against Ranga Rao's conspiracy. Lakshmi and Ranga Rao's son Chinna (Ravi) fell in love each other and got married with Raja's support. Chinna went missing while Lakshmi became pregnant.
