Plot[]

This movie is shot in the city of Vizag, where Vasu, and Head-constable Pattapagalu Venkatrao are seen on at the beach, pointed with a gun by CI Raghu Nayak. Vasu rewinds his memories and it is found that he is a topper in his childhood. But his grandfather, Meesala Simhachalam, is a rowdy who makes settlements for the good of the people. This irritates Bairagi Naidu, whose plan is to take over Vizag in his hands. For this reason, Bairagi makes many land settlements, which makes Simhachalam very angry, but cannot do anything as his power is more than Bairagi's power. Then, Naidu suggests Simhachalam that to make his grandson a rowdy, because his son has died in a car accident. This frustrates Vasu but accepts for his grandfather's sake.

After years of training, he is said that he has become a rowdy and ready to do settlements like his grandfather. He falls in love with a software employee, Sahitya, who is the daughter of Venkatrao. The family of Venkatrao is a middle-class family and Venkatrao cannot afford for his son's higher studies and his daughter's marriage. Soon they hear that his land was to be purchased by someone for 2cr. But this land is been occupied by Bairagi Naidu. Venkatrao then asks Naidu about his land, but he ended with only 50k, and torture kept by Bairagi Naidu's son Nanda. Vasu knows that Sahitya's family is in a trouble and tries to help them. Vasu and Venkatrao's family help in kidnapping Bairagi and taking the money from him. While doing so, they are unfortunately caught by Bairagi, but someone shoots Bairagi to death. Taking as an advantage they take the money from Bairagi and run away in a hurry, leaving some evidences. CI Raghu Nayak, who has been suspended due to his reckless behaviour, is being joined by the command of the officials. He collected the proofs like Sahitya's shoe, fingerprints, spectacles, and some hair and were handed to the forensic lab.

Meanwhile, Simhachalam learns that Bairagi Naidu isn't killed by Vasu and becomes upset. Venkatrao's family and Vasu discover Raghu Nayak is the son of second wife of Bairagi Naidu, which is a secret nobody knows. Venkatrao tries to manipulate the evidences at the forensic lab but Nayak learns that Vasu killed his father and arrests him and Venkatrao has a hand in this murder. Nanda catches Venkatrao's family and blackmails Vasu.

In the present, it is seen that Vasu and Venkatrao are about to be shot, but Vasu escapes from Nayak and says him that Nanda had killed his father. Vasu, Nayak and Venkatrao go to Nanda and Vasu rescues Venkatrao's family. Nanda is shot dead by Raghu Nayak and he still thinks that Nanda had killed his father, but it is Vasu who killed Naidu, but keeps it as a secret. Vasu even knows that his father did not die in an accident, instead that accident is done by Bairagi Naidu. As Vasu's truth later spills out in front of his family, he is asked as to why he is not taking credit for the murder. He speaks about his reluctance about being a rowdy and that he eliminated Bairagi as he was a menace to the society. Realizing his foolish ways, Vasu's grandfather gives Vasu his blessings to lead his life the way Vasu wants it. The movie ends with Vasu and Sahitya getting engaged.
