The story takes place during the pre-Independence era, just before the British left India.
Subash Chandra Bose is a Patriotic action darma based movie in which Ashok (Venkatesh) working in a TV channel with his girl friend Anita (Genelia), covers the meeting of a politician (Prakash Raj).
By seeing Prakash Raj there, Ashok gets images from the bygone era. In a flash back, it is revealed that in the year 1946, a man named Subash Chandra Bose alias Chandram (Venkatesh) fights against local British officer (Gulshan Grover).
Subash Chandra Bose worships the real freedom fighter Subash Chandra Bose. When the state governor (Tom Alter) comes to Chintapalli along with his daughter Diana for a brief vacation, Subash Chandra Bose welcomes him by blowing up the water tank in his palace. Enraged Governor asks his army to kill Bose. With the help of a local native Bandodu (Prakash Raj), the British army wipes out the entire village population including Bose’s lover (Shriya).In an act of betrayal by Bandodu, the army kills Bose too. Ashok realises that he is the reincarnation of Subash Chandra Bose and Prakashraj is Bandodu. In the climax Bose kills Bandodu.
The movie generally receive mixed review's from critics. Venkatesh performance as describe by reviewer, "Venkatesh is impressive as Ashok. The character of Subash Chandra Bose did not suit Venkatesh";[2] "Venkatesh did well in both roles of Chandram and Ashok. However, the characterizations of these two characters are not good enough to exploit the histrionics of Venkatesh. He has shown variation in the get-up of both the characters";[3]"Venkatesh sleep-walks in his dual role as Ashok and Chandram".[1] Among the heroines reviewers describe Shriya's performance as "Shriya, who plays Venkatesh’s lover in the past, looks glamourous, but is there just for the usual song ‘n’ dance routine";[1] "Shriya is sexy and her movements are very sensuous.";[2] " Shriya is cute in the role of innocent patriotic village belle. Her costumes are very simple as they represent the culture of 1940s. She is sensuous and at the same time voluptuous in the song of 'Neredi Pandu'.".[3] While Genelia receive mostly negative review from the critics.[2] This is mainly due to Genelia's character was short and weak compare to Shriya and she also fails to perform well.[3] Technically the film receive mostly negative review because the lack of perfection in the story and the poor handling in the direction.[4]
The movie eventually becomes average film in the box office.[4]
The film has won three Nandi Awards from the Andhra Pradesh Government in the year 2005 which was the second highest award for a film of that year behind Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana.[5]
