Story
The story unfolds in a remote village near Vizag called Bheemli. What begins as a soft romance between a poor lad Suri (Nani) and a girl (Saranya Mohan) who comes to the village soon takes a turn. Suri, with his childhood friends, yearns to win a Kabaddi tournament. They're known for never managing to win a tournament.

They find themselves by chance in a state-level tournament, expected to be knocked out in the first round. But the bunch of young men who share different thoughts and ideas, with the help of a professional kabaddi coach, emerge as winners. As they proceed, many difficulties are encountered such as Suri having a shoulder dislocation during a match. They win their remaining games and progress to the final. However, during this time, gangsters are searching for Suri.

The final starts off poorly but, after half time, Bheemli Kabaddi Jattu is back in contention. As the game ends in a tie, a player from each team goes up against each other. In the final stages of the head-to-head, Suri wins the game but dies after winning the last point as the opposition player kicks him on the chest as to touch him and win the game. Suri uses his last breath to win the match.

The scene changes to several months later when the girl returns to the place they met searching for Suri. Suri's friend plans to tell her but discards it as he feels that she won't be able to withstand the sad news. Suri's mother is seen crying in her house with Suri's photograph beside her.
