Plot
The film is set against the backdrop of a union representing truck drivers who are forced to work for Ranganayakulu, the owner, who is power-hungry. He is upset with his drivers for being independent and tries to get them arrested by bribing a nasty police officer named Netaji with untrue accusations.
Balamurali, a brave driver, maneuvers a truck that belongs to Jayamma and the two crushes. To his soldiers and the prisoners on Netaji for injustice, he serves as a pillar. As a result, he meets Collector Lalitha Devi and SP Pradeep Kumar, a respectable couple.
First, they criticize Balamurali’s actions, but they also recognize his goodness since Advocate Kaasipati is a straight shooter even if he is Netaji’s father. Eventually, Lalitha Devi issues a warning to Ranganayakulu and suspends Netaji. In order to get him to comply with the workers’ requests, Balamurali provokes him.
As a result, Ranganayakulu defrauds the employees by conspiring with the bank manager Subramanyam, who is financed by loans through Jayamma, who is insolvent. Aware of this, Balamurali attacks Subramanyam while Kaasipati obstructs and directs him to follow the law.
Subramanyam, terrified, hurries to kick Ranganayakulu out. When Ranganayakulu’s follower Seenu kills him, he nearly turns his side at that point. Collector observes the burial of his corpse beside her kids. When Balamurali protects them, Seenu pursues them in an attempt to kill them.
At that moment, Lalitha Devi discovers that the corpse she saw belonged to Subramanyam and she launches an inquiry. Ranganayakulu is put in jail at the same time that Balamurali and Jayamma seize Seenu.
Balamurali helps the truck drivers become more self-sufficient while retrieving the money that was stolen. As a result, Collector & SP interact and keep friendly relations with Balamurali & Jayamma.
Due to the complicated case, Ranganayakulu gets in touch with Gudiwada Rayudu, also known as Gudiwada Rowdy, a horrible goon who massacres Seenu on behalf of SP and causes a stir when he is suspended. When Balamurali lashes back, the collector orders that he be charged.
Thus, when Balamurali knocks on Rayudu and turns himself in to the police, an outraged Rayudu smacks Collector in public. However, for lack of evidence, the court finds Rayudu not guilty.
Additionally, he implicates the two in the murder of a criminal until Balamurali releases them, takes them in, and works to establish their innocence. As a result, they take Nalla Ram Murthy, the sidekick of Ranganayakulu, and present him to the judiciary as an approver.
Rayudu then launches an attack on the driver’s colony, killing Kaasipati and eliminating his son Netaji in the process. Balamurali finally puts an end to the villains and releases Collector & SP. Eventually, Balamurali and Jayamma’s marriage brings the film to a joyful conclusion.
