Plot
Justice Madhusudhan Rao is a disciple of justice. Once, he is about to pass judgment against a malicious Ramadasu. So, his henchman Jayaram abducts Madhusudhan Rao's kid, Ravi. But he does not yield and gives a death sentence. So, Ramadasu mandates eliminating the child, but kind-hearted Jayaram endorses him to a woman named Ramanamma rears him. Years roll by, and Ravi grows up as a brawler; whenever the father & son meet, they dispute and stand like antagonists. Ravi loves Madhusudhan Rao's niece Aruna, which he opposes, but his wife Lakshmi requests to accept. Soon, Madhusudhan Rao reaches Ravi and asks to change his lifestyle, but he refuses. Parallelly, Ramadasu, who slipped away from punishment, becomes a gangster-like Thulasi Das, creating much trouble for Jayaram and his dealers. So, Jayaram hires Ravi, and he becomes a tough nut to Thulasi Das. So, he indicts Ravi and sends him to jail. Here, Jayaram recognizes Ravi as Madhusudhan Rao's son and reveals it to him. Yet, Madhusudhan Rao declares the execution to Ravi. Before leaving, Ravi challenges that he will eliminate his enemies. To protect his son, Madhusudhan Rao takes him away to a secret place on his assurance and tries to reform him with ruthless behavior. Meanwhile, Aruna reaches the forest, and both try to escape. At the same time, Thulasi Das's men attack Ravi when Madhusudhan Rao is wounded while guarding Ravi against harm. Now Ravi, too, learns the truth. Finally, both father & son unite and cease baddies.
