Plot
Ramu, a valiant son of IG Raja Shekaram, aims to mold himself as a police officer. However, his timid mother, Meenakshi, denies it. Meanwhile, Ramu falls for charming Vani, and he walks to police training on behalf of the job. Apart from this, Nagarajapuram, Narasimham, Bhairavaiah, & Menaka conduct heinous crimes under honorable garb. These people perpetrate many activities, such as smuggling, gambling, prostitution, woman trafficking, etc, when no one dares to question them, and they eliminate all officials who protest them. I. G. Raja Shekaram assigns the case to his nephew, Inspector Suryam, but they also trap him in their custody by kidnapping his sister Radha. Now, Raja Shekaram himself camps in the area when the traitors attack him, and in the shootout, he loses a limb. At the same time, Ramu successfully returns from police training. But seeing his father's condition, a volcano bursts in his heart. Ramu wants revenge against those criminals, so he requests the government and makes his appointment at Nagarajapuram. By taking his father's blessings, Ramu reaches Nagarajapuram, and before leaving, he tells his father not to reveal this secret to his mother. Immediately stepping, he gives a direct warning to the traitors. After that, he catches them red-handed and presents them in the court, but they successfully escape the sentence. On that night, they capture Ramu, torture him badly, and throw him on the road. They keep their danger flag as a symbol so no one comes forward for his rescue. Fortunately, Vani passes from that way spot and takes him to the hospital. After recovery, Ramu crushes them all when they put a case on him. In the court, where he shows the evil deed that happened to him, the court decides he is innocent. Here, Ramu understands that anger is not only the source of catching criminals; it should also require proper wit. So, he changes his attire along with Vani, and in various disguises, he collects pieces of evidence against them. Narasimham learns of this when he kidnaps Raja Shekaram and kills his wife, Meenakshi. Seeing his mother's dead body, Ramu destroys their empire and gets them arrested. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Ramu & Vani.
