Janda Pai Kapiraju

Aravind Shivashankar (Nani) is a 26-year-old youth who was brought up in an ashram run by Harish Chandra (Nassar).

His upbringing gives him strong moral values, but when he leaves his home, his beliefs are challenged by the corrupt social system. Unsettled by this, Aravind decides to fight immorality by taking on corrupt bureaucrats.

People he becomes close with - his friend Suresh (Vennela Kishore), the lawyer Rajasekhar (Subbu Panchu), the journalist Gopi (Siva Balaji), and his girlfriend Indumathi (Amala Paul) - join him on his mission to fight corruption. They create a fake persona, Harish Chandra, based on a modified picture of Aravind, and use this to trick government officials into accepting bribes. They then successfully expose 147 officials, including Indumathi's father (Ahuti Prasad), a court judge, and an MP (Tanikella Bharani).

All of the exposed officials team up, led by the MP, the judge, and Sathenapalli Savithri (Rethika Srinivas), an IAS officer, to take on Aravind and his team. They plan to use a look-alike, who fits the image and description of Harish. The look-alike is named Maya Kannan, a 42-year-old middle-aged man who does underground work for the Tamil Nadu government. He is implied to be a womanizer. The officials attempt to show that Harish is indeed a real person, in order to thwart Aravind's plan.

Maya Kannan, in Tamil Nadu, accepts the deal with the government officials on the condition of receiving 14.7 crores from the corrupt officials.

After learning of this plot from an employee of a government hospital, Pune (Dhanraj), also employed by the 147 members, Aravind fears that all his efforts will be in vain. He heads to Tamil Nadu to stop Kannan from claiming the made up identity of Harish, leading to a fight between the two. As the case takes place in court, Aravind and his team members are disappointed as Kannan successfully claims the identity of Harish.

Just when the corrupt officials are glad that things are going as planned, there is a plot twist: Kannan explains that he was supporting Aravind from the start! The court declares in favor of Aravind, and Kannan praises Aravind for his efforts. Kannan further explains who he is - a Psychology graduate who runs orphanages and senior homes for young girls and the elderly. He explains that he used the 14.7 crores to build orphanages in four separate states.

As Arvind and Kannan embrace each other and step out of the court, Kannan is stabbed multiple times, and a fight breaks out. The attackers were hired by the corrupt officials to kill Aravind and Kannan. Both of them, with the help of the public, manage to fight off their attackers, and Kannan saves Aravind from being stabbed. However, Kannan eventually succumbs to his injuries with further wounds, leaving Aravind and his team devastated. The end credits explain that Aravind and his team became successful in their fight against corruption.
