==Plot==
In 1982, Gandikota village of [[Rayalaseema]] region, a feud between two rival families results in the murder of Ramineedu's brother. He, along with his two sons Mallasuri and Baireddy, vow for revenge. 28 years later in [[Hyderabad]], Ramu, an innocent man who lost both his parents, is ousted out of his job. He dreams of buying an [[autorickshaw]] for livelihood but is unable to finance it himself. Back in his native, Ramineedu uses his evil sons to murder a broker. One day, he receives a legal notice that he is the inheritor of five acres of land in Gandikota. In the hope of selling the land, he sets off to the village on a train. On the journey, he meets Aparna, Ramineedu's daughter, and they become fond of each other. Ramu ends up in Ramineedu's house to seek his help to sell the land.

However, Ramu happens to be the son of Raghava Rao, the man who murdered Ramineedu's brother. Mallasuri informs Ramineedu about this and asks his permission to kill Ramu. But Ramineedu instructs that Ramu must not be killed as long as he is in their house, honouring their age-old traditions of not shedding the blood inside the house, thereby deciding to murder him as soon as he steps out of the house. Ramu is aghast when he overhears this and realizes that he'd be safe if he confines himself to the house. He pretends to be hit by a swing and takes rest for a day. Ramineedu and his sons realize that he is taking advantage of their tradition and are eager to get him out of the house. The following day happens to be death anniversary of Ramineedu's brother and all their relatives arrive. Ramu is afraid that he'd be killed as soon as everyone leaves. In a ploy to make everyone stay for longer, Ramu manipulates Valasanaidu to get his son Srikanth married to Aparna the same day. Ramineedu reluctantly agrees but Srikanth refuses. Ramu convinces Srikanth to marry Aparna by describing her attributes by which Aparna realizes her love for Ramu.

Meanwhile, Ramineedu announces that wedding would take place at the temple and everyone should go there. Aparna secretly meets Ramu and asks him to meet her at a mosque by escaping in one of the flowerbaskets. Mallasuri tries to secretly kill Ramu in the pent house but he clevery escapes. As everyone leave to the temple, Bairreddy watches Ramu hiding in the flowerbaskets and plans to kill on the streets but fails to do so. Ramu stayed back in the empty house and finally runs away but Bairreddy and Mallasuri start chasing him. Srikanth, who realizes that Aparna is in love Ramu, tries to convince Ramineedu about their marriage. Furious Ramineedu decides to kill Ramu. Aparna meets Ramu to elope with him, only to realize that Ramu does not love her and was only trying to save his own life. Ramineedu and his sons find them at a wooden bridge. Aparna tries to stop his father but he is determined to kill Ramu as he dared to elope with his daughter. When Aparna says that she was the who loved him, Ramu realizes her love and surrenders himself. When they are about to kill him, she jumps into the river and Ramu saves her by jumping along. Ramineedu understands their love and lets them unite.

However, a well-designed set, great cinematography and mellifluous tunes by [[M. M.

''[[Sify]]'' which gave a verdict as "Worth a watch" further noted "[[Sunil (actor)|Sunil]] would no longer look like a comedy hero. His dances are simply superb, [[Saloni Aswani|Saloni]] is beautiful and holds natural sex appeal. It is unfortunate that her talents remained undetected for the last three years, but for [[S. S. Rajamouli|Rajamouli]], now. She performed with perfection all through the movie. Definitely, she awaits a bright future hereafter, it seems. ''Maryada Ramanna'' has a judicious mix of fun, thrill and suspense."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/maryada-ramanna-review-telugu-14950743.html|title=Maryada Ramanna|publisher=Sify|archive-date=2 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140702175320/http://www.sify.com/movies/maryada-ramanna-review-telugu-14950743.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> ''[[Rediff]]'' gave a three stars, commented ''Maryada Ramanna'' is thoroughly enjoyable. [[S. S. Rajamouli|Rajamouli]] sure has a winner on his hands. [[Sunil (actor)|Sunil]] is able to captivate the audience and [[Saloni Aswani|Saloni]] looks pretty and is convincing too.
