Plot[]

A sincere police officer Ramu and Vijaya, are in love. Vijaya's father, Dharmaraju, is a corrupt politician who fakes the good gentleman image outside. He, along with two more guys named Satya Murthy and Nyayapathi, exploited the poor by joining hands with the British. When Dharmaraju meets Ramu with his daughter, he immediately goes back to his past. Dharmaraju, Satya Murthy, and Nyayapathi kill a king, Vijayaraghavaraju, in the Andaman islands and throw the crime over a sincere gentleman and a great freedom fighter, Sardar Paparayudu. Sardar Paparayudu gets a life sentence. The reason why Dharmaraju is shocked seeing Ramu is that the latter exactly resembles Sardar Paparayudu in facial features. In fact, Ramu is the son of Sardar Paparayudu. Ramu's mother, Seeta, is the wife of Sardar Paparayudu. Right from then, Dharmaraju gets terrified, and to make things worse for him, Sardar Paparayudu gets released from jail as a result of reducing the imprisonment. He decides to take revenge on Dharmaraju for wrongly imprisoning him, and a rift starts between him and his son Ramu. The film ends on a happy note, with justice eventually winning.
