Vamsi (Gopichand) is the son of Muddu Krishna Rao (Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao), the owner of a prosperous handloom house. He just so happens to fall in love with an orphan named Bujji (Bhavana), who lives in a hostel. Vamsi attempts to propose to Bujji with his parents’ approval, but she is abducted by a gang of thugs. Lal Mahankali’s (Ashish Vidyarthi) younger brother Panda (Ajay) tries to molest Bujji, but Vamsi beats him up. On the day of Vamsi and Bujji’s marriage, Mahankali kidnaps and rapes Bujji in front of Vamsi, vowing to exact revenge. Because of MLA Raghava’s (Rajiv Kanakala) support, all of this misfortune occurs. Vamsi has a close friendship with Raghava.
Mahankali promises him a ministerial position, so he stabs Vamsi. When Vamsi gets to Hyderabad, he sets out to find the gangsters. Vamsi murders Raghava as a result of his betrayal. Later, after Vamsi tells the ACP (Sayaji Shinde) that he is experiencing hallucinations, the ACP speaks with Vamsi’s parents and other family members. The ACP looks into the matter; in the end, he captures Vamsi but then frees him and offers him assistance in killing the gangsters. After that, Vamsi rips off Panda’s arm and kills Mahankali. At the conclusion, Krishna Rao informs Vamsi that Bujji passed away due to a fall from a rock structure on the day of the engagement.
