## Plot

[edit]

Arjun is the son of Harischandra Prasad who saves his father from an attack orchestrated by a minister named Byrreddy. Enraged, Byrreddy hires a recently released convict named Bhavani to finish Harishchandra Prasad. Arjun meets a girl named Anjali and they fall in love with each other. After dropping Anjali at the railway station, Arjun is attacked by Bhavani and his goons, but is rescued by his uncle Lakshman. Harischandra reveals that Bhavani was adopted by his father Vishnu Prasad, but he betrayed him by doing arms trafficking, following which his father got him arrested. Bhavani killed his father and Harischandra gets him arrested.

Meanwhile, Arjun's marriage is fixed with Harischandra's brother Ajay's daughter Riya. On the day of Holi, Arjun invites Anjali to meet his parents, but she leaves upon listening about his marriage. Ajay is killed by Bhavani's henchman, which prompts Arjun to fight Byreddy's goons and make him arrange for a meeting with Bhavani. They meet at a railway crossing and Bhavani is found holding Anjali hostage, where Arjun learns that Anjali had been sent undercover by Bhavani. In front of Bhavani, Anjali confesses her love for Arjun. Harischandra tells Riya to get closer to Arjun. Lakshman is revealed to be embroiled in the illegal arms trafficking. Bhavani decides to tell Arjun about Harischandra's involvement in arms trafficking. Anjali meets Arjun and apologizes, where she confesses her love for him.

Arjun realizes her true emotions and convinces Harischandra of their marriage. It is later revealed that Lakshman is embroiled in the illegal arms trafficking and had introduced Riya to trap Arjun. Riya gives a lift to Anjali where she reveals her intentions and gets her injured in a car accident. Anjali is admitted to the hospital, where Byreddy tells Arjun that it was Bhavani who got her attacked. Lakshman and Harischandra convince Arjun to kill Bhavani, following which he attacks his goons but is knocked unconscious. A car chase ensues between Lakshman and Bhavani. Upon gaining consciousness, Arjun manages to crash the car on a bridge, but is rescued by Bhavani, who then reveals that he is his father and not Harischandra, who has lied to him about everything.

It is also revealed that Bhavani never tried to attack Arjun and did not even told Anjali about Arjun being his son. Consumed by the thirst for wealth, Harischandra killed Vishnu Prasad and Arjun's mother, where Bhavani got framed for crimes. Bhavani runs towards Lakshman and his men with a bomb, causing everyone's death in an explosion. Arjun is rescued by Bhavani's brother Kaali who reveals that Vishnu Prasad's three sons: Harischandra, Ajay and Lakshman were jealous of Bhavani, due to which they framed and imprisoned Bhavani. They also killed Vishnu Prasad and Arjun's mother. Upon returning from prison, Bhavani was forced to take the blame for their crimes in order to save Arjun and Harischandra raised Arjun as his own son.

Realizing the truth, Arjun decides to exact revenge, where he contacts Riya and tells her to meet him in the mountains outside the city. Arjun kills Riya and finishes henchman. Learning that Arjun is alive, Byrreddy tries to escape along with his goons, but Arjun kills him in a car chase. Later, Harischandra holds Kaali hostage at a warehouse, where Arjun arrives, and a shootout ensues, resulting in Harischandra's death.
