Plot

The film begins in the village Krishnapuram where Krishna Babu is its arbitrator whose word is an ordinance. He resides with his maternal uncle Chandraiah and endears a girl, Rama, the daughter of the headmaster of the village. Sarvarayudu, Krishna's vicious step-maternal uncle, holds a family feud as he bars his violations. Krishna's sibling Vijay studies in the city and falls for his colleague Shilpa. Meantime, Krishna & Rama get engaged when Rama's uncle, a jailor, states Krishna is a homicide. Now, Krishna Babu spins back; his father, Zamindar of the village, maintains an adulterous fling with a sly in his house. They also have a progeny, i.e., Vijay, whom Krishna Babu treats as his own. Sarvarayudu is the brother of the other lady who ploys to slay Krishna's mother by poisoning. Tragically, Krishna's father dies when he is incriminated and sentenced. It leads to his mother's death. Later, Sarvarayudu kills his sister, and Vijay becomes an orphan when Krishna entrusts his responsibility to Chandraiah. After 14 years, he returns to his village to take the reins of the kind-hearted leader and win the town's goodwill. Being aware of it, everyone bows down to his righteousness, and the engagement succeeds. Anyhow, enraged Sarvarayudu abducts Rama, and in that brawl, Krishna accidentally kills Rama. Currently, he is behind bars again for seven years. Krishna decides to send Vijay abroad for higher studies. Before departure, he explains his present state to Shilpa, and they break up. During this period, Krishna's ex-warden often meets him, who is Shilpa's father. Time passes, and Krishna is acquitted when he comes across his ex-warden on his deathbed, who assigns Shilpa's responsibility to him. Hence, Shilpa accompanies Krishna to the village. Shilpa consoles his mind with the agony of struggles and recoups Krishna with a smile by helping him regain the composure of an earlier. However, the village starts questioning their relationship when they decide to knit at Chandraiah's request. At that point, Vijay returns, startled by spotting Shilpa as the bride, and quiets. Parallelly, Vijay's friends arrive at the wedding and reveal the truth to Krishna. Finally, the movie ends with Krishna Babu uniting Vijay & Shilpa, eliminating Sarvarayudu, and surrendering himself thrice.

Release

Movie get positive reviews and good collections. [1] [2] A critic from Sify wrote that "The entire movie`s strongpoint lies in the second half of the film. In their attempt at aiming for a hat-trick after the commercial success of Inspector Pratap and Pavithra Prema, the combination of Balakrishna and Muthyala Subbiah have taken extra care in the treatment of this subject. But too many flashbacks mar the smooth flow of the narrative". [3]

The film was later dubbed and released in Tamil as Veera Vamsam. [4]
