Plot

The film begins in a town where a spirited cop Pratap is a newly deputed one that swears to protect the integrity & sovereignty of the nation. Pratap is brought up by his elder brother Ramanatham who stands as an artful Advocate. Yet, he reveres him & sister-in-law Janaki and dotes on their kid Baby. As of today, Pratap takes charge when he is acquainted and darlings a plucky girl Chukka that runs a tea stall opposite his station. Besides, Viswaroopam is malignant and undertakes malpractice as rectitude. Pratap always antagonizes him, and the battle erupts. Once, he red-handedly apprehends Raakhi son of Viswaroopam who conducts misdeeds by his father's stature. However, he escapes with the fake alibis created by Ramanatham when a rift arises between the siblings. Simultaneously, Kranti & his faction of rebels take up arms against Viswaroopam. But he counterfeits them for his crimes as dacoits. Now Pratap has charged to grab them. Meanwhile, Viswaroopam ruses by clutching Ramanatham as his business ally and fixes his Baby's alliance with Raakhi. As a result, Pratap quits the house along with Janaki & Baby because they opposed it. Following, Pratap catches hold of Kranti, when he is startled to be aware Chukka is Kranthi's sister. Plus, Kranti & men are not-guilty, the actual owl is Viswaroopam. Thus, Pratap lock-ups them, in his custody to get the truth. Whereupon, Janaki showers concern and affection to them. After a while, Pratap ascertains the actuality and associates Kranti & his men with him. Parallelly, as an anecdote, Janaki becomes terminally ill and must be quickly operated for which a tidy sum is compulsory. Pratap denies Ramanatham's aid and gains the amount by endangering his life. Anyhow, tragically, Baby is molested by Raakhi when Ramanatham freaks out on knaves and he is kicked out. Accordingly, he attempts suicide when Pratap bars, boosts up his courage, and mingles with his team. All of them issue an ultimatum to Viswaroopam, step-by-step, collapse his domain. Further, Pratap uncovers the diabolic shade of Viswaroopam publicly and proves Kranti innocent. At last, he ceases the baddies.
