King Nalagamaraju himself visited along with his brother Narasimharaju and their stepmother Vidhyala Devi. But unfortunately, according to the child's horoscope, the astrologers predict that he would create huge destruction of war in Palnadu. So, Brahmanaidu orders his henchmen to kill the child, but he is protected by Brahmanaidu's brother-in-law Kannamma Naidu and raised secretly. Simultaneously, Palnadu saw flash floods. Progressive-minded Brahmanaidu allows Scheduled Caste people ''Harijans'' entry into temples and appoints a Harijan, Kannama Dasu as his commander and chief. This irks the upper caste head Gopamantri, so, seeks vengeance for which he weapons a robust sly [[Nayakuralu Nagamma]] who has an edict bestowed by Anuguraju to rule the Palnadu for 3 days. Utilizing it, she creates severe destruction and also brainwashes Nalagamaraju, which leads to the resignation of Brahmanaidu. Being aware of it, Raja Maata Vidyaladevi quits the kingdom, taking ''Macharla'' as a share for her son Malidevadulu. Presently, she pleads with Brahmanaidu to mold Macharla as another kingdom and they all move along with Vidhyala Devi's brother Kommaraju.

	At the same time, Palnadu saw flash floods. Progressive-minded Brahmanaidu allows Scheduled Caste people ''Harijans'' entry into temples and appoints a Harijan, Kannama Dasu as his commander and chief. This irks the upper caste people's head Gopamantri, so he decides to take revenge against Brahmanaidu, for which he uses a powerful woman, [[Nayakuralu Nagamma]]. Nagamma has an edict that she can rule the kingdom for three days, which was given by king Anuguraju. Using the edict, Nagamma creates a lot of destruction within the kingdom and also corrupts King Nalagamaraju's mind, due to which Brahmanaidu has to leave his position.		Years roll by, and under Brahmanaidu's guidance, Macharla flourishes into a progressive capital that hurts Nagamma. Here she ruses to grab it, by creating a rift between the siblings. Firstly, she knits Nalagamaraju's daughter Peerindevi with Kommaraju's son Alaraju. Before long, Nagamma incites Malideva for a rooster fight (''Kodi Pandalu'') on the condition that whoever loses must exile for seven years. Nagamma deceitfully wins the bet and Malideva has to leave his kingdom. Meanwhile, Brahmanaidu discovers that his son Balachandra is alive and attempts to slaughter him. However, he backs on the request of Ithamba and embraces Balachandra. Concurrently, Balachandra nuptials Kanamma Naidu's daughter Maguva Manchala. Time passes, and Brahmanaidu sends Alaraju as a mediator in negotiations to retrieve their kingdom. At that point, Nagamma prey Alaraju by Narasimharaju as a tool. Peerindevi also makes ''Sathi'' with him, before dying she takes an oath from Balachandra to assassinate Narasimharaju. Now Brahmanaidu sends another messenger to give back the kingdom with Narasimharaju's head. Anyhow, it fails and the battle erupts at Karampuudi. Exceptional of Brahmanaidu, Nagamma, Nalagamaraju, and Kanamma Dasu, everyone dies in the war. At last, Nagamma reforms and bows her head down before Brahmanaidu. Finally, the movie ends with Brahmanaidu handing over the kingdom to Nalagamaraju, making Nagamma chief minister and Kanamma Dasu chief commander, and proceeds to the forest for penance.

	On hearing this, Raja Maata Vidyaladevi also decides to leave the kingdom, she asks Nalagamaraju to divide the kingdom and give the share to his son Malidevadulu. So, ''Macharla'' has been given to Malideva. Malideva and Vidhyala Devi along with her brother Kommaraju leave for Macharla.
