Plot

The film begins with the 1960's Government Land Ceiling Act. Being conscious of it, a venomous squire, Duryodhana Rao, purports his 200 acres under the Benami of men suppressed under his toe. He also notifies his mate Jaganatham, who sneaky sells his land to his sibling Rajyalakshmi and migrates to the city. After a while, the hoodwink breaks; hitherto, it is too late. Rajyalakshmi's family loses most; her husband, Krishna Murthy, becomes a wanderer. From there, Rajyalakshmi strives to survive and rear three infant kids by cultivating the leftover land. Spotting it, the younger one, Sivaji, supports his mother by quitting his education. Years roll by, and Rajyalakshmi & Shivaji toil and mold the elder Ashok as an IAS, but he turns self-centered. Jaganatham reached the top as MP. He still tyrannizes the farmers by mingling with Duryodhana Rao and his wife, Mahakaali. They play by failing to obtain the farmer's prime crop cost and trample the daily laborers.

Rajyalakshmi & Shivaji continuously fight and struggle for their communal rights by uniting a labor union leader, Bheemudu. Once, they extract a sham of Duryodhana Rao & Mahakaali and forcibly return the swindled amount obtained from the bank on behalf of unknown races. So, the malefactors' gambit creates a rift between farmers & laborers, but in vain. Meanwhile, Ashok returns as a Collector, whom Jaganatham has snared by knitting his daughter against his mother when she severs from him. After that, the yearly crop thrives, and farmers decide to avoid intermediates & dealers. Accordingly, they store the stock, which Bheemudu escorts. Wherefore, Duryodhana Rao ruses and his son Bullabbai fires it. Next, they incriminate and haul Bheemudu to Panchayat, where they attempt to burn him alive, but Rajyalakshmi & Shivaji safeguard him.

Next, Shivaji warns Duryodhana Rao to pay back the cost of the crop within 24 hours. To abscond from it, Duryodhana Rao makes a foul play under Jaganatham's guidance. They attribute an illicit relationship to Rajyalakshmi's daughter Sudha and his nephew Suribabu. However, Shivaji falls them apart with the aid of Bheemudu and recovers the amount. At this time, enraged knaves' sharp practice of distributing fake seeds & fertilizers devastates the yield, and lose-hearted farmers commit suicide. Plus, they hound the bankers to settle the arrears taken when Rajyalakshmi impedes. Then, Jagannath arouses the collector Ashok to them when a blazing row occurs, which entails the encounter and death of an innocent. Now livid, Rajyalakshmi begins a movement and charges the government, which ignites the country. Thus, the government bows its head down, accepts the defeat, and dethrones Jaganatham. Hence, the devils conspire for the mass murder of the village, and in that clash, Rajyalakshmi is shot dead. At last, Ashok reforms and ceases the baddies with Shivaji. Finally, the movie ends with Rajyalakshmi proclaiming before leaving her breath, This struggle continues forever until the formation of a Peasant State.
