== Plot ==

The story takes place during the pre-Independence era, just before the British left India. Ashok, who is working on a TV channel with his girlfriend Anita, covers the meeting of a politician Venkat Ratnam. By seeing Venkat Ratnam there, Ashok gets images from the bygone era, including a tattooed image of the national flag on his hand. In a flashback, it is revealed that in the year 1946, a man named Amarchandra / Subash Chandra Bose alias Chandram fights against local colonial officer George. Subash Chandra Bose worships the real freedom fighter Subash Chandra Bose. When the state governor Jackson comes to Chintapalli along with his daughter Diana for a brief vacation, Bose welcomes him by blowing up the water tank in his palace. Enraged, Jackson asks his army to kill Bose. With the help of a local native Bandodu, the George's troops wipes out the entire village population, including Bose's lover Swarajyam. In an act of betrayal by Bandodu, the troops kills Bose too. Ashok realizes that he is the reincarnation of Bose and Venkat Ratnam is Bandodu. He sets out to expose him along with his allies. In the climax, Bose kills Venkat Ratnam.
