Dasu (Srikanth) is a rowdy in a slum in Hyderabad. He makes a living out of "settlement of petty issues". A young lawyer named Krishnaveni (Bhavana) gets him bail in a petty case, and their acquaintance soon develops into romance after a series of events. On the other hand, a politician-cum-businesswoman (Jyothi) plans to set up SEZ in that slum, which is protested by dwellers headed by a genuine leader (Sekhar). Meanwhile, a local politician-cum-old rowdy leader named Dada (Jaya Prakash Reddy) also protests against the businesswoman and seeks Rs. 200 crores if she wants to set up SEZ there. Dasu initially believes Dada is a good politician and works for him. Dada's son assassinates a competitor, which lands him in prison for murder, and whilst party members meet for the upcoming election, it is revealed that Dada's stronghold area is divided into 2, and the other part is given to a new contender as Dada's son is in jail. This infuriates Dada, and they hatch a plan to use Dasu as a scapegoat in place of Dada's son, where Dasu opposes Dada and plans to contest against him on a newly floated Mahatma party. Later, due to a few crucial incidents, Dasu turns into a proper Gandhi follower and has unanimous and tremendous support from local dwellers as he stands with them to protest against the fab city contract, thereby pulling off Dada's seat and deciding to give it to Dasu for his following. However, a plan is hatched by Dada to grab what is his, as he wants his children to attempt an assassination on him, accuse Dasu of it, and take the seat back by contesting independently. On the other hand, Kala Rani makes Das's best friend her accomplice and poisons Das. Dada's plan backfires when his children plan to kill him for real and take over both the divided parts of their area, which is heard by Dada. He calls Dasu for help, and Dasu arrives and saves Dada, and all the perpetrators are arrested. Dada nominates Dasu as the MLA, but Dasu, in turn, gives it to Shekar as he feels that he is a true leader.
