==Plot==<br />
Collector Rama Kantha Rao (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) is a stickler for law & order. He leads a happy family life with his wife Lakshmi Devi (Sarada), son Ravi (Akkineni Nagarjuna) and daughter Jyothi (Varalakshmi). A rift always arises between father & son as Ravi believes that sometimes acting outside the bounds of law can be justified in order to lay bare the truth. A businessman Appa Rao (Kota Srinivasa Rao) & his acolyte Eelimudrala Ellayah (Nutan Prasad), carry out their criminal activities with their sons Kanna Rao (Sudhakar) & Chinna Rao (Surya), respectively. The Collector hinders their activities, so they attempt to bribe him but fail. Ellayah contests the election with the support of Appa Rao, becomes a minister and determines to humiliate & crush the collector, but he courageously persists.<br />
Meanwhile, Ravi falls for Bharati (Rajani), the sister of his close friend Satyam (Subhaleka Subhakar). Satyam is a journalist, and his father, Srinivasa Rao (P. L. Narayana), is an editor of a newspaper who tries to expose the nefarious face of the minister. One night, Satyam gets evidence of the minister's wrongdoings. Still, Kanna Rao & Chinna Rao kill him. Ravi witnesses the crime, but the culprits are acquitted due to fake alibis. An enraged Ravi attempts to kill them, but his father prevents him; as a result, Ravi leaves his house. The Collector starts a secret investigation and gathers evidence against the criminals. Ravi returns surprisingly as a police officer. He supports his father, but they still go in their separate ways. They both unmask the minister and remove him from power. Ellayah & the gang attack Ravi in which, unfortunately, Jyothi dies. The Collector unites with Ravi, and they bring the culprits to justice. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note as the Collector appreciates Ravi.<br />
