Plot

The film begins with a famous pop singer, Gopi, at the Jolly Club and its proprietor, Jaganadham, doting him as his son. Once, he squabbles with a petty thief, Vijaya, which turns into love. Then he learns she has taken this path to cure her disabled brother. So, Gopi takes up her responsibility. Parallelly, three traitors, Sangeetha Rao, Gopal Rao,& Papa Rao, handle anti-social activities and dictate all the city clubs. Anyhow, Jaganadham denies them. Ergo, they blast the club where he dies. Accordingly, Gopi pledges to destroy the knaves. Following, Gopi introduces Vijaya to his mother, Parvati, who wants to knit them. However, Vijaya impedes it to seek vengeance against her parents' homicide Aggi Ramudu who is presently in prison. Hence, Vijaya coaxes Gopi to let him out with the belief that he knows the whereabouts of his drifter father. Following this, Vijaya attempts to slay him when Gopi breaks the bars. As a flabbergast, Parvati identifies Aggi Ramudu as her husband Ramaiah when he spins back. Ramaiah is a true blue to a millionaire, Dharma Rao, whose three partners con, none other than the treacherous, in a contract that Ramaiah catches. So, they slaughtered Dharma Rao, incriminated Ramaiah, and stole the heritage golden idol of Venkateswara. Eventually, Vijaya reveals herself as Dharma Rao's daughter, who misconstrued Ramaiah. At this point, enraged Gopi turns into Aggi Ramudu, in various disguises. At last, he ceases the baddies and protects the idol. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Gopi & Vijaya.
