Plot
Once upon a time, a kingdom whose Emperor was on vacation left the administration to his callow and futile satrap Mahipathi. Exploiting it, his vicious chief commander Prachanda grabs the authority and tramples the public under the toe. Concurrently, he fleeces and torments a retired stanch solider, Rosaiah, with taxes and claims his life. Spotting it, his gallant son Pratap freaks out when his besties Jogulu and Mallika console him. Pratap seeks vengeance, intrudes into the fort, defeats, and leaves Prachanda with the final notice. Now, he builds a radical team through a public revolt, loots the treasuries, and aids the destitute. So, Prachanda poses him as a marauder and announces a reward for his captors. Meanwhile, Mahipathi's daughter, Shobha, is about to arrive midway after Jogulu abducts her. Pratap rebukes and shows a play of Shobha's rescue from bandits in disguise and safely hands her to Mahipathi when the two are smitten with each other. At a point, Shobha is conscious of Pratap's true face; she loathes him but later comprehends his virtue through Malika. Now, Prachanda ruses with a statement of accord that will remove charges on Pratap if he capitulates. Pratap walks on despite his men's refusal, but the brutal seizes him. A masked man protects him in that piquant situation. After this, Pratap expanded his activities, and everything else reached the Empire. Thus, he moves as a commoner, intentionally locked to rebels, acquaints with Pratap, and seeks actuality. Prachanda plots to ascend the throne by knitting Princess. Listening to it, Pratap assaults but is captured and destined for the death penalty. The masked man arouses the entire public and onslaughts on the fort. On the verge of execution, the Empire lands and executes justice. Then, as a flabbergast, the masked man is unveiled as Shobha. At last, Pratap ceases Prachanda when the Empire declares him as his heir. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Pratap & Shobha.
