Bhadrayya is a notorious, ruthless, dangerous dacoit who makes terrible extorsions. The Govt appoints DSP Nandana Rao to catch him. Nandana Rao leads a happy family life with his dedicated wife, Yashoda, and his brother-in-law, Inspector Mutyala Rao. Bhadrayya has a son, Nani, whom he loves a lot. Once, in a Police encounter, Nani gets a shot when Bhadrayya thinks that his son is dead. Besides, Nandana Rao is also seriously injured, and he dies at the hospital, where Yashoda spots Nani and learns he is Bhadrayya's son. Now, she wants to keep the child with her so that Bhadrayya can arrive for him when she can take revenge. Even her brother Mutyala Rao opposes it, and Yashodamma does so. As days pass, Yashoda develops love & affection towards the child; she renames him Vamsidhar and treats him as her own. Years rolled by, and Vamsi became a CBI Officer in the nurture of Yashoda without knowing his original identity. He falls in love with Mutyala Rao's daughter, Neela, a current commissioner. Though Yashoda agrees to their alliance, Mutyala Rao objects to it as Vamsi is an heir of the monster. Parallelly, Bhadrayya grows into a deadly gangster who is fanatic about conquering the entire country, for which he creates a lot of destruction. Vamsi is appointed as a special officer to end these atrocities. In between, Vamsi discovers the truth; even then, he stands for righteousness. At last, Vamsi eliminates Bhadrayya & his gang. Before dying, Bhadrayya requests Vamsi to call him a father, and he does so. Here, Mutyala Rao also realizes Vamsi's virtue. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Vamsi & Neela.
