Plot[edit | edit source]

Seenu (Gopichand) is a loyal servant and the right-hand-man of faction leader Reddeppa (Devaraj). He and Sailaja (Moon Banerrjee), Reddeppa's daughter, grew up together. Nayudamma (Vijaya Rangaraju) is an archrival of Reddeppa. Factional feuds between them have resulted in the loss of a number of lives among their groups. When Reddeppa realizes that his daughter and Seenu are in love, he swings into action, trying to kill Seenu. The rest of the story is about how Seenu secures Sailaja's hand in marriage and how he unites the forces of followers in both the warring groups to teach their masters (Reddeppa and Nayudamma) a lesson or two.
