Chandu (Gopichand) is a rich, rough youth brought up by his uncle Krishna Rao (Chandra Mohan) in Australia. Mahalakshmi (Trisha) stays in Australia with her uncle Pichaiah (Dharmavarapu Subrahmanyam), who runs a restaurant. Chandu is fond of martial arts, but he never gets a chance to exhibit them in real situations. Mahalakshmi is another martial arts freak. After a few misunderstandings, they fall in love. One day, Mahalakshmi is forced to come back to her hometown in Rayalaseema. Chandu comes in search of her.
Meanwhile, Sivaiah (Sathyaraj) and his archenemy, Mahalakshmi's father Pashupati (Kota Srinivasa Rao) are the rich leaders of two neighboring villages in Rayalaseema. They have a longstanding enmity. Chandu comes to Mahalakshmi's village and asks for her hand in marriage. Though Pashupati's sister opposes this, Pashupati agrees based on one condition: that Chandu must escort his brother from the railway station to home safely. The brother, Rajappa (Supreeth), has been on a 25-year self-imposed exile from the district because his life was under threat from Sivaiah and his entire village. Chandu agrees and does so, beating 30 of Sivaiah's men on the way. Then Chandu is challenged to go to Sivaiah's house. While walking to Sivaiah's house, he is beaten up badly by Sivaiah's men that he lay at the door of the house.
When Sivaiah sees Chandu's face, he recognizes him and rushes him to the hospital, where he is saved. The incident reaches Krishna Rao, who flies to India. Krishna Rao is shocked to see Chandu with Sivaiah and tells Chandu about his parents. Sivaiah is actually Chandu's father. 23 years ago, there was a big feud between villages over sharing water, in which a multitude of lives were lost in clashes. Sivaiah's wife pleads with him to stop the fight, to which he pays no heed. She gives birth to twins, but one child and her parents are killed in a car bomb blast before her very eyes. This makes her take Chandu and go to her native. After two years, she has a change of heart and comes to meet Sivaiah. As they are about to reconcile, Rajappa ambushes Sivaiah and kills his wife before his eyes, despite his pleas. He sent Chandu with Krishna Rao and has paid for all of his expenses since then.
Chandu then joins Sivaiah as his heir, and the rest of the story is how he defeats both Pashupati and his brothers. However, Pashupati and Rajappa hatch a plan and kill Sivayya. Just before he dies, Sivayya requests Chandu to take over his legacy, and Chandu accepts. In retaliation, Sivayya's henchmen go to kill Pashupati's henchmen. Chandu enters the factory and fights and kills Rajappa, thus avenging his family's death. He then leaves Pashupati to be lynched by the villagers and leaves the factory. In the end, Chandu reunites with Mahalakshmi.
