==Plot==
The film begins in a village where Neelakantam (Satyanarayana) a tyrant who tramples the public under his feet. In the same village, Hanumanth Dasu (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) and his brother-in-law Rangadasu (Murali Mohan) belong to a [[Haridasa]] family. Once Neelakantam molests an orthodox Brahmin woman Yashodamma (K.R.Vijaya) wife of a Bhagavathar Acharyulu (Ashok Kumar). So, Yashodamma forfeits herself to be his wife and discards from his life along with Tirumala Dasu (Bhanuchander), son of Hanumathu Dasu with the intention of giving him a good education. After 20 years, Tirumala Dasu (Bhanu Chander) returns to the village as a district collector. In the beginning, Tirumala Dasu pretends as if he is supporting Neelakantam, according to the guidance of his father to get a revolution in public and they succeed in it. Parallelly, Seeta (Ramya Krishna) daughter of Rangadasu who loves Tirumala Dasu a lot also dislikes him but afterward realizes his virtue. Right now, Neelakantam ploys to conquer the Govt lands for which he initiates Tirumala Dasu to get them to auction. Here, Tirumala Dasu clearly takes bribe from different landlords and uses it to acquire the land by the villagers. At present, enraged Neelakhantam intrigues to destroy the village with the help of other landlords when Tirumala Dasu ceases them. Being cognizant of it, the villagers unite to kill Neelakantam when Hanumath Dasu stops and pacifies them that violence is not the solution to resolve a problem. Finally, Neelakantam also realizes his mistake, sheds all his weapons and reforms as a good person. Even Yashodamma reunites with her husband. At last, Hanumanth Dasu affirms that it's wiser to give best punishment for egregious persons is to destroy their evil nature than eliminating them. Finally, it is proclaimed that ''Nonviolence is great piety''
