The subject has two locations – Vijag and Hyderabad. The story shifts to these two places as and when the hero Partha (Kalyan Ram) moves as and when the situations are developed to do so. First he is in Vijag as the story opens, studying in a college, where he picks up a quarrel with the man close to the secretary of the college. He then comes to Hyderabad to his father Chalapati Rao, who always complains about his son.
Meanwhile another character of an arch villain of the theme is introduced, named Prakash (Ravi Kale). He is a ruthless person – a cold-blooded murderer. He has a hit man in his younger brother, who looks like an eccentric. He does the job for him. Then there is another character of a Don (Charan Raj), whose daughter Madhavi (Diya Sarma) also studies in the same college. Partha's father is a lecturer there. He always cautions his son to behave well. For that matter Partha is a soft going man and does not pick up any quarrel until he is provoked to do so. One of the students there challenges him for a boxing bout on knowing Partha too is a boxer. The boy who challenges is college champion. He is floored by Partha. Only then does the father reveals that Partha is a state champion to the shock of the students. From then on he becomes a hero. By saying so it is also established that Partha is game even for the ruthless murderers. In a skirmish later with Prakash's brother, the latter accidentally gets killed. Naturally Prakash is upset and wants to avenge it. He has already killed the ACP of the place and in that place another man (Vinod) is posted as ACP. Vinod is an honest and bold police officer. On knowing the sincerity of Partha, he lends moral support to the young man. Their target person is Prakash, who enjoys political patronage.
Madhavi is already in love with Partha. Partha's friends warn him to be careful about her father. Partha straight goes to him and expresses to him that his daughter is in love with him and if only her father accepts for the marriage, he would marry her. Appreciating the gesture of the young man, he accepts for the proposal and leaves for States on an errand. By then Jeeva, another don of the place is at loggerheads with Prakash. Thus a situation is so developed that when some men attack Partha, they believe that it was the handiwork of her father in absence. Jeeva is also doubted. However Jeeva meets Partha and tells that he is innocent and reveals that that he suspects Prakash as the man behind this attack on Partha.
The rest shows how Prakash is finally cornered and how Partha wins the hearts of the people living in the area whom Prakash has driven out and occupied it. It is a straight forward interesting drama that picks up momentum in the last parts in scenes showing Partha smashing all the men of Prakash just with the swing of a sword. This scene and others put to view how the action drama is presented with the hero performing impossible things in normal course. The camera and the dialogue constantly project the hero as another dependable action hero of the NTR (Sr.) clan. However the narration in other parts of the film moves a bit slow. Kalyan Ram keeps to the advantage of the image he acquired in his previous film as a decent looking young man who could perform ruthless acts if necessary.
The heroine's role is a bit subdued except when she has to portray her feeling when her father is believed to have back stabbed her man Partha. She is a bit chubby and not that glamorous, one expected of a film of this magnitude. The song part is passable. Photographic work is quite imaginative elevating the hero to new heights. The dialogue sticks to narration, without resorting to volubility. The film is worth watching to understand how the new hero Kalyan Ram made a good stride. What one misses in this film is comical element that would have provided some relief. Except quips that is usually given to Krishna Bhagavan there is nothing to mention.
