The film starts off with the killing of two lovers by Veerabadrayya who is a Rayalaseema factionist and is against love marriages. Giridhar goes to Kurnool, to his sister’s house where he falls in love with their young and beautiful neighbor Kaveri. She too falls in love with Giri. Kaveris father, none other than Veerabadrayya himself comes to know about their affair and as expected resents, so Giri escape with Kaveri. Veerabadrayya sends his goons in their chase. Finally what happens forms the rest of the story?
