The opening scenes give you an indication of how the movie is going to shape up. NRI Krishna returns to his village with his wife and child to work for the upliftment of the village folk. However, when the family along with his old father is on its way home with the money, fellow villager PR backstabs, kills all and runs away with the money leaving his wife and son behind.

PR is head of a huge empire (with his friend Sheshu as partner) and is into all kinds of nefarious activities. Enters out hero, Kranti (NTR), who flexes his muscles, shakes his leg and gets into the gang of PR to earn money for his orphanage, where he grew up (he's orphaned at a very young age). Kranti falls in love with Varalakshmi (Hansika Motwani [Images]) who is such a lucky girl that she wins a foreign trip, a house and household gadgets for her family. Varalakshmi initially does not like Kranti.

An ambitious Kranti, meanwhile rises up pretty fast in life and meets PR in Hong Kong. The director takes the audience to believe that Kranti is PR's son till the twist in the tale. The story has the usual elements of gang fights and violence.
