Plot

The film begins with a nefarious Kondandam who envies Meenakshi for spurning his love and knitting an upright Ramanandam. So, he spills acid into her eyes with his two associates, Tyagaraju & Nagaraju, and conceals Ramanandam in the dark. Now Inspector Satyanandam who convicts Tyagaraju & Nagaraju. So, enraged knaves kill his wife Chandramati when their son Ramu absconds. After a while, an orphan, Krishna, acquaints him and conducts pilfering to uphold his orphanage maintained by a noble Baba who shelters Meenakshi also, hiding her identity as Krishna's mother. Years roll by, and Ramu & Krishna are bounty hunters and small-time crooks to nourish the poor. At present, Ramu falls for Lakshmi, and Krishna loves Jaya. Here, Ramu still longs to seek vengeance. Now, Krishna is aware of Meenakshi's actuality when Ramu & Krishna realize that the same subjects the two to the injustice. They begin a murder spree and search for the 3rd heinous Kondandam. During that time, Ramu meets his father, Satyanandam, but is silent until he accomplishes the mission—Terror-stricken Kondandam ploys and forges as Krishna's father when a rupture erupts between Ramakrishnulu. At last, they affirm it as their game to cease baddies. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriages of Ramu & Lakshmi and Krishna & Jaya.
