Plot

Pasupathi, an arms dealer, arrives in India to supply a new batch of weapons, including the .35 Magnum, to his associates. He is stopped because of a routine check, but manages to escape from the officer by shooting him with the new weapon and bribing his associates (the other officers) to keep the truth from being uncovered.

Pasupathi meets his partner Ramakoti and his other associates, including Asghar, Ramakoti's henchman. He shows the latest weapon, which can also be connected to a computer, chooses one of its targets (a young girl on a swing), and then locks it (even indicating that the weapon is not rigid). Ranjan, one of the partners, remarks that it is like a game, to which he replies that it is not a game, and then shoots her. He concludes that the girl is dead, but her soul is not. Ramakoti then manages to take care of that matter by giving the task to Asghar.

10 months later: In a train, some ruffians try to harass a girl, but are interrupted by a passenger who beats them after his sleep is interrupted. One of their allies, who was getting ready, is afraid that the passenger might beat him too; he lies that he knows them and nothing else, taking the responsibility to admit his allies to a hospital. The passenger advises him to follow his sayings. He also tells the girl to wake him up in case of an emergency.

Venu, a friend of the passenger, gets involved in a no-ticket case while waiting for the latter's arrival. The passenger is revealed to be Sathyanarayana Murthy, who rescues his friend from being arrested. He lies about having chest pain and hence consults a doctor, M. V. Shankara Rao, whom he actually threatens with killing him unless he gives information. Venu witnesses this, but later pretends as if nothing happened in front of him. Sathya and Venu visit Venu's colony. Sathya later encounters Sailaja, who thinks that he is a tailor. Venu brags that Sathya is a billionaire to save the latter from a police case.

During the preparations of Ganesh Chaturthi, Sathya falls off the apartment roof while discussing something with Venu. He bumps into Sailaja, while causing so many things, and finally is safe. The next day, Sathya and Venu go to a red-light area and meet Rasul, who informs them about the supply of arms and Asghar after taking each amount from the duo. Sathya goes alone to Asghar's hideout and brawls with his henchmen, even though the latter escapes.

Sathya and Venu start boozing before learning that they are about to have dinner in Sailaja's apartment. Eventually, they manage to hide their drunkenness, but they are caught red-handed by Sailaja's father after Sathya starts washing his left hand instead of his right. Teaming with her friends, Sailaja decides to teach them a lesson by hosting Venu's birthday party at a pub. Sailaja eventually tells Sathya to dance while Venu starts boozing and looking at them. After the party is over and they walk out of the club, Sathya witnesses a beggar beating his daughter for not begging properly. He saves her from the beggar after beating him and gives her all his money for her basic needs. He then starts speaking about how he dislikes watching children in trouble, eventually telling about finishing someone who killed his loved one. Sailaja asks Venu if Sathya loved someone earlier. Venu tells her about Sathya's niece.

10 months ago: Sathya is a rough but kind man living in Amalapuram with his niece Lavanya, mother, sister, and brother-in-law. Sathya and Lavanya share a special bond and are the best of friends. Lavanya's mother, worried that Lavanya will become illiterate like her uncle, talks about admitting her to a convent school. Sathya, initially reluctant, agrees after talking to Lavanya. One day, after getting admitted to a school and roaming out with her family, Lavanya falls off a swing in a park and dies before getting to the hospital. The doctor, who tried to treat her later, discovered this. Asghar suddenly appears and tells him that she was hit by a bullet, revealing that his boss (Pasupathi) wanted to kill a dog instead (since he wanted to test his weapon), but the child became the target. Pasuapathi bribes him with 5 lakh rupees for not telling the truth (or else he would have been killed) and acting for an operation, which was a ruse by Asghar. After the doctor says he could not save her, Sathya, along with the rest of her family, mourns her death.

10 months after Lavanya's death, the family members, except Sathya, had moved on. They met Sai and his daughter, who is now bald-shaven and is revealed to have been operated on for a critical condition. After Sathya's mother tells her that Lavanya did not have her head shaven, Sai even tells that someone might have bluffed them, because of which Sathya later sets out to seek revenge, also asking the doctor about the cause of Lavanya's death. The doctor eventually reveals everything to him (indicating why he took an appointment as a ruse and threatened him).

Present: Jeeva, Ramakoti, and the henchmen kidnap Rasul after finding out that he is the informer. Meanwhile, Sailaja later starts developing feelings for Sathya after a turn of events. The next day, Sathya and Venu go to find Rasul for getting information. He tells them that Asghar and his men had changed their address after that brawl. He is revealed to be missing a left leg, also revealing that Jeeva had chopped it off, and telling Sathya to teach them a lesson, concluding that it will be a fee for him. They go back to the colony and find that Asghar and his gang are waiting for them. Sathya takes all the men down, snaps Jeeva's right leg (as payback for what he did to Rasul), and threatens Asghar that he will kill his boss in two months, leaving the goons injured, and moves out of the colony. After discovering all this, Pasupathi returns from LA and discusses everything with Ramakoti.
