Plot
A villager, Sivayya goes to the city for the sake of his sister's education. The friendly neighborhood sweet shop owner has a daughter Sirisha, who promptly falls in love with Sivayya impressed by our hero's muscular features. Now the local market is under the control of the evil Jyothi and his equally evil brother Poorna. Sivayya clashes with them and attempts to terminate their terror. But thanks to a backstabbing friend, his cause is doubted. And in the midst of much mindless violence, which leaves our Sivayya half-dead, his sister is raped by these rowdies. Roja is a police inspector who previously had an affair with Sivayya's. Sivayya married his father's friend's daughter for the sake of father's death promise. During pregnancy she misunderstood Sivayya and Roja's relationship. Finally she understands Sivvayya. She dies in an accident. After the flashback, Roja helps Sivayya to fight against Poorna.[3]
