Plot

Vishwanath (N. T. Rama Rao) is a middle-class public prosecutor with a penchant for justice and a soft corner for the common man that endears him to the masses. But then he commits the unpardonable sin of awarding life imprisonment to Prabhu (Sarath Babu) — the son of industrialist G.N.K. (Prabhakar Reddy) — and his henchman Shakka (Sri Lanka Manohar) on charges of rape and murder. Not many in the city know that G.N.K. is also an underworld don involved in all sorts of criminal activities. Fuming for revenge, and using every trick of the trade, he gets him implicated in a bribery case, and condemned to short-term imprisonment. Once he is released and determined to seek revenge, by taking the law into his own hands, he lets loose a war against G.N.K. by systematically attacking his business interests, helped in the process by Kacheri Kondaiah (Satyanarayana).
