The squat the plots allotted to disabled soldiers that is Jai Jawan Scam, and Govt, Police, & judiciary suffer defeat. Here, a solitary that aids them is a brave & bellicose journalist, Srimannarayana, who exposes the diddle and accords land to the original. Parallelly, Swapnika, a reporter, is his adversary behind him to overpower, but in vain. After a series of donnybrooks, she crushes for him, but Srimannarayana is already in love & engaged with his cousin Bhanumati. Anyhow, she doesn't give up, and the two compete.

Besides, Srimannarayana's father, Kalki Narayana Murthy, is a social activist who is honored with Padma Shri. On that occasion, three more pernicious IG Marthand, Premier Bank Chairman Rajan Mudaliar, & Dr. Srikar Prasad arrive. Accordingly, Narayana Murthy aims to establish an association, "Jai Kisan Trust," for the welfare of farmers, which imparts gigantic results of 50,000,000,000 (US$600 million) of funds. Next, he deposits it at Premier Bank for usage; stunningly, Narayana Murthy dies, and the mysterious circumstances swindle 63 million. At the same time, Srimannarayana is distracted, depraved, and incriminated in the scam.

The judiciary takes Srimanarayana into custody and hands the case to CBI under Gyaneshwar's charge. However, Srimannarayana starts his investigation from the prison with the help of Swapnika when he detects a bell rung at Rajan Mudaliar. So, he silently breaks the bar attacks by coercing Jailor Shankar Reddy. As of now, Rajan Mudaliar divulges the actuality that Narayana Murthy is a cold-blooded murder done by these six knaves and posed as a heart attack. They shifted the amount to Swiss bank, which holds a 6-letter password known by each individual. Thus, the infuriated Srimannarayana initiates his murder spree by slaughtering the five blackguards without any evidence and retrieving their passwords, i.e., 4, K, I, A, N.

Gyaneshwar attempts to hit him to the maximum possible every time, which misfires. Simultaneously, he succeeds in proving himself guiltless and acquits. Today, Harshad abducts Srimannarayana's family, endangers them, and seeks the password. On that spot, he cleverly perceives his secret letter between I&A as S. Surprisingly, Srimannarayana announces that the lock, which miscreants created, is 4KISAN. At last, Srimannarayana battles and ceases Harshad when Gyaneshwar closes the file without a testament. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with Srimannarayana out setting Jai Kisan Trust. [4]

[8] Rediff.com gave a rating of 2/5 stating "Srimannarayana's film subject is good but director Ravi Kumar Chavali has not paid enough attention to its execution." [9] Mahesh S Koneru of 123telugu gave a review of rating 3/5 stating "Srimannarayana is a film that has the content to satisfy Balakrishna’s fans. For regular movie goers, the movie is a very routine fare. A good performance from Balakrishna and some mass comedy scenes will strike a chord with the masses. The concept of farmer welfare will also appeal to some. A better second half and a more interesting climax would have helped."
