Plot

Inspector Ramaraju (Nandamuri Balakrishna) is a sincere police officer, that people call a Rowdy Inspector, which is his titular role. Auto Rani (Vijayashanti) is an auto driver who falls in love with Ramaraju and helps him out with his missions. He arrests every goon that he sees. Bobarlanka Ramabrahmam (Mohan Raj) is an underworld don who rules areas filled with rowdies. Home Minister Karanam Kaasiah (Kota Srinivasa Rao) and the S.P. (Captain Raju) are his supporters. Ramabrahmam tries to show Ramaraju who's boss for messing with his gang of goons. Ramabrahmam sends his goons who stab Ramaraju's grandmother (Nirmalamma) as Ramaraju beats them up and luckily saves her with the help his younger brother Gandhi (Harish)'s college lecturer (Arun Kumar).

After some time, Ramaraju arrests Ramabrahmam's brother Narasimham (Saikumar) and Rakhi (Rakhi) a local crook for killing a female constable Kanaka (Kinnera). Ramabrahmam sends his goons who free his brother and Rakhi. When Ramaraju tries to shoot Rakhi, Rakhi makes him accidentally shoot a college lecturer who saved his grandmother as Rakhi manages to escape from him. The lecturer's family thinks of Ramaraju as a criminal. Ramaraju tries to tell them it was an accident and think of him as their son. But the lecturer's mother Parvathamma (Annapurna) scolds him and kicks him out of their house. One day Ramabrahmam sends his goons to attack the lecturer's family and convince Gandhi to make Ramaraju get suspended from the police department. Ramaraju saves the family as the goons surrender and tells Gandhi that this was all a scheme to get Ramaraju suspended, not for the sadness of their lecturer's death. Parvathamma forgives Ramaraju and considers him as her son. He gets D.I.G. Jagannath Rao's (Jaggayya) son married to Parvathamma's daughter Girija (Madhurima).

Meanwhile, Rakhi calls Narasimham and reveals where he is. But Ramabrahmam wants Rakhi killed, worried that he could be danger. They send a lorry, but kill an innocent man, not Rakhi. One day Ramaraju gets informed by L.K. Balu (Brahmanandam) that Rakhi has been found and he just gave him a lift in his auto to his apartment. Ramaraju goes to the apartment complex Rakhi is in and finds him. When he's about to arrest him, S.P. comes and shoots Rakhi to death. Ramaraju, enraged, fights with the S.P.. Later on, Ramabrahamam kills D.I.G. to tell in court that Ramaraju is the killer. Home Minister and S.P. are witnesses and even though they witnessed D.I.G.'s murder, they declare that it was Ramaraju who killed him. Home Minister promotes S.P. as the new D.I.G. but no one follows his orders because they know Ramabrahmam's the killer. Rani and Gandhi have all the evidence in proving that Ramabrahmam is guilty until Gandhi is kidnapped by Koti (Srihari), a thug who works for Ramabrahmam. Rani beats up Koti and saves Gandhi. Meanwhile in court, the Home Minister is forced by the other officers to admit that Ramabrahmam killed D.I.G. as he comes to the court and kills the Home Minister. Ramaraju, Rani, and everyone else in court fights with Ramabrahmam and his men. The film ends with Ramaraju proving that Ramabrahmam is guilty and finally arrests him and his brother.
