Besides, a felon, Appa Rao & his acolyte, Eelimudrala Ellayah, remorselessly carry out their barbarities with their sons Kanna Rao & Chinna Rao, respectively. The Collector hinders them when thwarting their bid to bribe him but fails. Meanwhile, an Ellayah contests the election, with the aid of Appa Rao, and turns as a minister. He is determined to affront the Collector, but he courageously persists. Parallelly, Ravi falls for Bharati, the sister of his bestie Satyam.
