Plot

Sreenu (Ram) enjoys fights right from his childhood. He wants to be like Manikyam (Pradeep Rawat), who was a goonda, as everyone, including his teacher, is afraid of him. When all the boys wanted to become doctors, engineers, lawyers and other professionals, Sreenu wants to become a goonda. Though he behaves like a ruffian, he comes to know that one should have the support of a politician or a big dada. With the help of Laddu (A.S. Ravikumar Chowdary) an associate of Manikyam, Sreenu meets the latter and joins his gang. At this juncture, Sreenu falls in love with Subbalakshmi (Isha Sahani). As she pleads with Sreenu to help his friend's father, Sreenu agrees to settle a land deal. But the land was under illegal occupation of Manikyam's gang member.

As he promised to settle the deal, Sreenu opposes Manikyam. This makes Sreenu a hero, and he also starts doing settlements on his own. Once, Sreenu agrees to help an industrialist, whose quarry was occupied by Yadav (Satya Prakash), with the support of Manikyam. As things go out of control, Sreenu decides to kill Yadav.

However, he could not kill him but his younger brother, who also likes fighting scenes, takes the gun and kills Yadav. Sreenu appeals to the police commissioner (Prakash Raj) to mediate with Manikyam, but his men kill Sreenu's brother. This irks Sreenu who severely thrashes Manikyam, but spares him. When Manikyam attacks him, he kills him in self-defence. The film ends on a happy note, with Sreenu leaving all the dadagiri and leads a normal life.
