The story revolves around Satyam (Chiranjeevi), who is a young and righteous man. He lives with his mother (Anjali Devi) and sister Radha (Radha) in a small village. Satyam falls in love with Radha's best friend, Seeta (Bhanupriya), who reciprocates his feelings.

However, Seeta's father (Nuthan Prasad) is a wealthy and influential man who opposes their relationship due to Satyam's lower social status. Seeta's father wants her to marry his business partner's son, who is a NRI. Seeta, too, is torn between her love for Satyam and her father's wishes.

Meanwhile, an enmity between Satyam's family and a group of goons led by a notorious criminal (Rao Gopal Rao) intensifies. Satyam becomes their target, and the situation becomes even more complicated when his sister Radha is kidnapped by the goons.
