Plot

The film begins with a sincere, stout-hearted police officer, Inspector Ramaraju, who is notable as the Rowdy Inspector. He crushes a plucky auto driver, Rani, and she encounters the offenses in society. Plus, Ramaraju provides a new life for goons trampled under cruel ruffian Bobarlanka Ramabrahmam. Once, Narasimham, younger than Ramabrahmam, teased a student, Jyoti, when a lecturer slapped him. So, he gets him suspended. Gandhi, the sibling of Ramaraju, moves against iniquity. Due to the fear, Jyoti is quiet, but Gandhi still stands firm. Hence, Ramaraju charges him when she divulges the truth. Accordingly, Master retrieves his position and restricts Narasimham.

Meanwhile, Bobarlanka Ramabrahmam lands that rules the terrain with the aid of Home Minister Karanam Kaasiah. Recognising Ramaraju's steps, he attempts to intimidate him by inroading on his grandmother, whom Gandhi's lecturer rescues. Instantly, Ramaraju reprises Ramabrahmam, so he deputes a wicked SP who seeks to play false Ramaraju but in vain by reinforcement of generous DIG Jaganatham. Ramabrahmam learns about his brother's insult and steers him to abduct Jyoti with the sidekick Rakhi. A lady constable, Kanaka, views it, but sadly, miscreants clutch her. Ramaraju starts his investigation, identifies the bodies of two via Rani, and apprehends Narasimham & Rakhi. Amid Ramabrahmam attacks, the culprits abscond when Ramaraju misfires, in which Gandhi's lecturer dies. Later, Ramaraju perturbs out of remorse and moves to own the lecturer's family, mother Parvatamma & sister Girija, who reciprocally their hatred as they consider him a homicide.

Alongside, the knaves' ruse to dethrone Ramaraju for which they artificially provoked Gandhi and hard strikes. Following, they threaten the Master's family when Ramaraju shields them. Ergo, Parvatamma & Gandhi understand his virtue. Next, Ramaraju is on the verge of collaring Rakhi when SP slyly slays him, so Ramaraju strikes when the Home Minister edicts DIG to suspend Ramaraju, which he denies. Being furious, the Home Minister slaps him, which ignites Ramaraju. Exploiting it, Ramabrahmam slaughters DIG and incriminates Ramaraju. Thus, the police department gets out of their duties in favor of Ramaraju. Gandhi accumulates the pieces of evidence by upholding Rani and proceeds to the Chief Minister, but veils seize him whom Rani shields. At trial, the home minister fakes charges over Ramaraju when he flares up and admits to uncovering the reality. Just then, Rani arrives with Gandhi. Suddenly, Ramabrahmam onslaughts inwards, wiping out the Home Minister, and heavy action occurs. At last, Ramaraju & Rani cease the baddies. Finally, the movie ends happily, with the government honoring Inspector Ramaraju.
