Loknath Naidu (Sai Kumar) takes over the reins of a rural political power from a dying man, Dasaradha Rama Naidu (Balayya). On his death bed, Dasaradha Rama Naidu requests Loknath to marry his widowed daughter-in-law whose husband was murdered by rival political group. Loknath complies. His stepson is Mitra (Sharwanand) and his own son is Chinna (Sundeep Kishan). While Mitra is a devoted and loving son to Loknath, his step daughter (Surekha Vani) hates him for marrying their mother and severs ties with them. Loknath wants to see Mitra as his heir because Mitra is a thinking man whereas Chinna is hot-blooded with a bad life style. Chinna loathes Mitra because he receives lesser attention than Mitra from his father and is constantly discouraged by his father from entering politics. Mitra's sister's sister-in-law is his love interest. Chinna gets upset on learning that Mitra is the new youth president of the party. That night, he gets high on drugs and sexually assaults Basha's daughter (Rashmi Gautam) and make her die in an accident. Mitra wants to punish Chinna for the heinous act while Chinna unsuccessfully tries to get Mitra killed in a movie theater. Chinna then kills Mitra's sister and her husband.
As a twist in the tale, Loknath Naidu sacrifices his political goodwill to protect Chinna. By doing so, he and Mitra are forced to confront each other. Loknath has Mitra beaten up when Mitra chases after Chinna to avenge his sister. Mitra leaves the house and moves to his old home in the village and then kills Chinna. Loknath orders both Mitra and Basha to be killed. Basha saves Mitra from the goons and tells him a terrible secret from Loknath's past. Loknath had actually killed Mitra's biological father, who was merely injured in the fight with the political rivals.
