Plot

During the time of Gandhji's centenary birth celebrations, several leaders & social reformers give messages regarding the ideologies of Gandhi which they do not follow in real life. At this point in time, 9 youngsters who are fed up with these double-standards form into an organization and kidnap children from all over the country. They create a special world called ''Maro Prapancham'' where jealousy, rivalry, caste & community do not exist, even Goddess of India (Jamuna) lands at the place. The existence of such a place creates huge uproar in the country and the Central Govt appoints Special CBI Officer Ravindra Nath (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) to solve the case. Ravindra eventually manages to find the different world after various setbacks. He finds the place filled with piety, truth, peace, kindness & mercy. He is inspired by this and he himself decides to join with the organisation that made the "Maro Prapancham" (Another World). When a few of the members are caught and prosecuted, Ravindra arrives and takes the judiciary to the ''Maro Prapancham'', to describe its uniqueness and what they were trying to achieve. Yet, the judiciary is unmoved and judges them guilty, sentencing Ravindra along with the people caught. Thereupon, children obstruct the Police and demand their leaders be set free. Ravindra explains to them that the children are now independent and can carry on on their own, and orders them to make the entire country a different world. The movie ends with the children proceeding towards the ''Maro Prapancham''.
