Plot

The film begins with Minister Rajashekaram, a spurious man who wants to hold the ratification of a government project, ''Jala Ganga.'' He gets ahead of Venal, an assistant engineer, and kills him when he refuses. Bhargav is an unemployed engineering graduate who struggles to find a livelihood. He lives with his mother, Parvati, and deserts his father owing to his recreant for evading them. He appeals for the position of deceased assistant engineer. Rajashekaram influences Chief Engineer Bhanogi Rao, father of Bhargav's beau Latha, to stand up for his person. However, Bhargav acquires the job with his merit. Just before his joining, Parvati falls sick and dies because of a flub made by a doctor. Knowing it, Bhargav assaults him and is apprehended but acquits him with the support of Latha's uncle, DIG Pratap Rao. Now, Bhargav takes charge when Rajashekaram forces him to tamper with the project, uses his power and threat, and lusts him with a worse Roja but fails. Moreover, his acquaintance reforms Roja. Due to his lack of submission, Rajashekaram arraigned him for bribing and penalized him. In the prison, Bhargav is aware of his father Tagore's presence therein and rebukes him. Accordingly, Tagore spins rearward. He is a labor union leader, while Rajashekaram is an MP who ploys to squat in their colony, which he opposes. Hence, Rajashekaram is in cahoots with Tagore's henchmen. Janardhan airs Tagore as a swindler and expels them. Thus, enraged Tagore seeks to kill Rajashekaram. Janardhan dies, and his daughter is left alone. Listening to it, Bhargav pleads pardon and embraces his father. Being conscious of it, Rajashekaram is intrigued by slaughtering Bhargav when Tagore sacrifices his life. Soon after release, Bhargav inflames with vengefulness and challenges Rajashekaram. In tandem, he learns Roja is Janardhan's daughter, and with her assistance, Bhargav accumulates the pieces of evidence against Rajashekaram. At last, Bhargav ceases the baddies when Roja eliminates Rajashekaram and surrenders. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Bhargav & Latha.
