Plot
The film begins in a village where Ramudu, an energetic guy, leads a good life with his 1-acre land & two bulls. He falls for his maternal uncle Suraiah's daughter Seeta. Parallelly, Sowcar Venkaiah, a stingy loan shark, abuses the village by providing debts. Suraiah assists him, and Ramudu turns his tough nut. Meanwhile, it is time for elections and rectitude. Veeraiah triumphs over Sowcar with the aid of Ramudu. Here, begrudged Sowcar falsifies a fake allegation on Ramudu for his dues, which he has already paid. As per lack of proof, the judiciary passed an ordinance that Ramudu must repay the amount within 3 months. Now Ramudu aims to retrieve his land and moves to the city with his little sibling Gopi, where he toils day & night to raise funds. Besides, Suraiah fixes an alliance for Seeta; she flees to the city in quest of Ramudu and finds his whereabouts. Unexpectedly, Ramudu is incriminated in a homicide case, acquits non-guilty with the support of Seeta & Gopi, and backs to the village. Despite being repaid, Sowcar still needs to hand over the land to Ramudu. Now, the entire villagers stand on behalf of Ramudu, including Suraiah. Eventually, Sowcar is backstabbed by his sidekicks when Ramudu shields him. At last, Sowcar reforms after soul-searching and distributes his property to the villagers. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Ramudu & Seeta.
