[2] [3] It is a movie about redemption in which the title character must make amends to his father after being blamed for his grandmother's death while meeting a girl who understands him and his burdens; at the same time, he must also battle against a mafia-like organisation that hates him.
The movie was released in Andhra Pradesh on 13 July 2006. It was an average grosser at the box office. It became a cult film over the years. It was remade into Bengali Bangladesh as Babar Kosom (2007) with Manna and Nipun Akter.
Ashok is a mechanic who is thrown out of his house because of his rash actions that have led to his grandmother's death. His father still harbors anger against him, despite Ashok's good behavior that has a positive outcome. Ashok happens to meet an insecure yet talented dancer named Anjali and falls in love with her. Anjali witnesses a crime involving KK, the leader of one of the largest crime syndicates in Andhra Pradesh. KK then tries to ensnare Anjali within his evil plans, while Ashok wages a one-man war against KK's gang.
Ashok's friend Rajiv attempts to rescue Anjali, but KK has him killed. Ashok then avenges Rajiv's death by killing KK's brother, Panda. This enrages KK, and his gang captures Ashok's sister, demanding that Ashok hands himself over to them in return for her safety. Ashok's father drags him to KK's manor and orders him to save his sister. Ashok and KK then get into a dramatic fight at Ashok's sister's wedding. Just when it appears that Ashok will emerge the winner, KK's mother tries to shoot Ashok but accidentally kills her own son. She drops the gun and falls down dead, apparently dying of shock. The film ends with Ashok's sister getting married and Ashok receiving his father's forgiveness.
The music was composed by Mani Sharma and released by Aditya Music.
