== Plot ==
== Plot ==
Ajay Krishna is a [[Major]] in the [[Para (Special Forces)]] of the [[Indian Army]], while another person named Ajay joins his regiment ([[Parachute Regiment (India)|Parachute Regiment]]). During a [[shootout]], Ajay gets severely injured. Ajay's [[Brigadier]] sends Ajay Krishna and his colleague Siva Prasad to inform the news to Ajay's family by ensuring that Ajay's sister's wedding preparations are not disturbed. On the way to [[Kurnool]] in a train, they come across Samskruthi, who is to marry a below-average guy. On deciding to run away and marry a good-looking guy, she sees Ajay Krishna and falls in love with him. She tries to lure Ajay Krishna by accusing him of raping her, but he remains unbudged.
Ajay Krishna is a [[Major]] in [[Para (Special Forces)|Para SF]] of the [[Indian Army]], where another person, also named Ajay joins his regiment ([[Parachute Regiment (India)|Parachute Regiment]]). During a [[shootout]] in a rescue operation, Ajay gets severely injured. Ajay's [[Brigadier]] sends Ajay Krishna and his colleague Siva Prasad to inform the news to Ajay's family by ensuring that Ajay's sister's wedding preparations are not disturbed. On the way to [[Kurnool]] on a train, they come across Samskruthi, who is an irritating-comic girl. Samskruthi sees Ajay Krishna and falls in love with him. She tries to impress Ajay unusually, but to no avail.


In Kurnool, Ajay's mother, Bharathi, is on a hideout with her family to escape from [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] Yeddula Nagendra, a corrupt minister. When they are caught by Nagendra's men who threaten to kill them, Ajay Krishna comes to their rescue and beats up the men with a warning that he would deal with Nagendra in the same way. Nagendra's main henchman narrates this to Nagendra and tells him that he has seen [[Alluri Seetarama Raju (film)|Alluri Seetharama Raju]] in his guts. Meanwhile, Bharathi reveals to Ajay Krishna that she lodged a complaint against him for planning the murder of her brother's son, which was covered up as a suicide. When Nagendra threatens her to withdraw the complaint, she stands her ground. Consequently, she is suspended from the college on the allegation of leaking the question paper and her daughter's marriage gets called off.
In Kurnool, Ajay's mother, Bharathi went into hiding with her family to escape from [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] Yeddula Nagendra. When they are caught by Nagendra's men who threaten to kill them, Ajay Krishna arrives and thrashes the men with a warning that he would deal with Nagendra in the same way. Nagendra's main henchman narrates this to Nagendra. Meanwhile, Bharathi reveals to Ajay Krishna that she lodged a case against Nagendra for planning the murder of her brother's son, which was covered up as a suicide. When Nagendra threatens her to withdraw the case, she stood her ground.


Ajay Krishna then goes to Nagendra's house and challenges him, stating that he will change him into a responsible citizen, by making him to surrender after fetching all the evidence. Ajay Krishna then understands that Nagendra has been involved in a scam through Ramakrishna, a government officer, and Bharathi's brother's son who is a bank officer and a software engineer. Ramakrishna tried to uncover the scam with his help and techie, who works in Nagendra Technologies (which is founded by Nagendra and is running his scams). At the same time, Ajay Krishna re-arranges Bharathi's daughter's marriage with the same person. Meanwhile, Ajay is declared dead and Ajay Krishna informs the family after the wedding. Performing his last rites, Ajay Krishna and Prasad head back to [[Kashmir]], while Ajay Krishna also accepts Samskruthi's proposal in between. Despite gathering the evidence, Ajay Krishna spares Nagendra from being jailed as he might use the sympathy to come out of jail and resume his corrupt activities. Ajay Krishna instead tells Nagendra that he is appointed to the Indian Army so that that he will be disciplined and lead an honest life thereafter. The film ends with Nagendra being a reformed leader and Ajay Krishna marrying Samskruthi.
Consequently, Bharathi is suspended from the college on the allegation of leaking the [[exam|exam paper]] and her daughter's marriage gets called off.
