One day Arjun beats up a group of ruffians who are thrashing a poor man for not paying extortion, headed by Ungarala Ramappa and Ungarala Kishtappa (Paruchuri Brothers), protected by MLA Benerjee (Rao Gopal Rao). With this incident, Arjun's life changes; he invokes the wrath of the local goon. Ugarala Kishtapa warns his parents and insults his sister, and the infuriated Arjun, thrashes him and destroys all his activities. Arjun is arrested, C.I. Keshava Rao's (Nutan Prasad) henchmen go to Benerjee let him off with a warning, but an Inspector Shekar (Sudhakar) notes that Arjun is actually doing the right thing, later he also begins to fall in love with Arjun's sister Kalyani. Arjun has also fallen in love by Sensational Subhadra (Kushboo), a journalist his college meet.
Soon, Arjun begins to grab public attention, MLA Benerjee also gets to know of Arjun he thinks that Arjun is working for his rival Ranganayakulu (Ranganath), who is a social reformer. Benerjee orders that Arjun and his friends be eliminated; The gang attacks and kills one of Arjun's friend Gokhale (Sai Kumar), who is killed in public. Though Arjun tries his best, no one comes forward to give witness to the murder out of fear, because of which the killers are let free. Soon Arjun's family put him out of the house, he is approached by Ranganayakulu, he invites him to his house and treats him as his own son. With Arjun's help, Ranganayakulu destroys all the illegal activities of Benerjee, gets his sister Kalyani's marriage with Shekar at her request, and also handles the shop owner where his father is working, for ill-treating the latter. Finally, Ranganayakulu tells Arjun to get some secret files and documents against Benerjee, which can be used to expose him in public. Arjun gets that secret file at the risk of his life.
Now the story takes a twist; Arjun comes to known that Ranganayakulu is a jackal who played the double game with him and has joined hands with Benerjee and that none of the evidence he collected has really been published anywhere, as promised.
