Plot

The film begins with political warfare in a state where a skirmish between the Chief Minister and Home Minister Reddappa becomes active. Sarojini is the spirited and plucky student daughter of Collector Chakrapani. She is admired and endeared by her fellow collegian Suri Babu, who always shields her against dangers. Chakrapani is a forthright candid who induces Sarojini to follow in his footsteps. He also ostracized his wicked son, Inspector Sagar.

Once, Chakrapani exposed a scam committed by Home Minister. So, the miscreants slay him, which is witnessed by Sarojini. Here, Sagar manipulates and cracks the case. Yet, Sarojini remains resolute and combats crime. But unbeknownst, she grips the Home Minister, and they accuse her of homicide and abuse when Sarojini gains excellent acclaim. Exploiting it, Chief Minister acquits and makes her contest as MLA in upcoming elections where she triumphs. Suri Babu stands in for her at every level, and they are nuptials. Gradually, Sarojini dethrones the Home Minister by divulging his diabolic shade and receives his seat.

Meanwhile, Manoj, CM’s son, doublecrosses his father by jumbling with the Home Minister and slaughters a journalist. Then, unhesitantly, Sarojani apprehends Manoj. Moreover, she decides to produce all the evidence against the government before the Governor on the eve of Independence Day. Thus, begrudged CM mingles with the Home Minister, and they plot to assassinate Sarojini. During the event, the Home Minister backstabs CM, whom Sarojini recuses and reforms. Suri Babu sacrifices his life while guarding Sarojini in that havoc. At last, CM confesses his sin and entrusts the government to Sarojini. Finally, the movie ends with Sarojini proceeding forward with her public service.
