A sincere police officer Ramu (N. T. Rama Rao) and Vijaya (Sridevi) are in love. Vijaya's father Dharmaraju (Rao Gopala Rao) is a corrupt politician who fakes the good gentleman image outside. He, along with two more guys named Satya Murthy (Satyanarayana) and Nyayapathi (Allu Ramalingaiah) exploited the poor by joining hands with the British. When Dharmaraju meets Ramu with his daughter, he immediately goes back to his past. Dharmaraju, Satya Murthy and Nyayapathi kill a king, Vijayaraghavaraju (Prabhakar Reddy) in the Andaman islands and throw the crime over a sincere gentleman and a great freedom fighter, Sardar Paparayudu. Sardar Paparayudu gets a life sentence. The reason why Dharmaraju is shocked seeing Ramu is that the latter exactly resembles Sardar Paparayudu in facial features. In fact, Ramu is the son of Sardar Paparayudu. Ramu's mother Seeta (Sharada) is the wife of Sardar Paparayudu.
