Synopsis

  • In 2009, Dharani is a young ruffian, who steals coal for a living and lives with his grandmother in Veerlapally. The villagers always consume alcohol and get entangled with family problems. He spends most of his time with his best friends Siddham "Suri" Suryam and Vennela. Dharani loves Vennela since their childhood, but later learns that Vennela loves Suri. As a result, he sacrifices his love for her and decides to get the duo married. However, their relationship is objected by Vennela's mother, Ramanamma, due to Suri's involvement in stealing coal.

    Dharani makes Suri win a local cricket match in order to receive a cashier job at the famous "Silk" bar, as announced by the village's candidate for the sarpanch, Thurpugutta Shivanna's son, Thurpugutta Chinna Nambi. Dharani and Suri get into a fight with Chinna Nambi's supporters at the bar and damage it. As a result, Chinna Nambi gets Dharani and his friends arrested. Rajanna, Shivanna's kinder step-brother, bails them out and asks them to not worry about the village politics. However, Suri asks him to contest in the sarpanch elections, to which Rajanna eventually agrees. Rajanna wins the election after encouraging the womenfolk to vote for the first time and Dharani is made the Deputy Sarpanch under Rajanna. Suri's marriage with Vennela is subsequently fixed as a result.

    On the day of his marriage with Vennela, Suri comes to know of Dharani's sacrifice for him and is heartbroken. As he is on his way to talk to Dharani and their friends at the bar, a mysterious gang attack and chase all of them. Three of Dharani and Suri's friends are brutally killed, while another collapses from a heart attack. Dharani is injured in the ensuing chase, and Suri tries to escape with him on a bicycle. However, while escaping, Suri is beheaded. Dharani, in a state of shock and fear, hides from the gang. The entire village comes to know of the attack and is devastated. Baying for vengeance, Dharani begins to investigate into the matter. He learns that Chinna Nambi was the perpetrator and ordered Suri's death.

    Chinna Nambi's wife tells him that Chinna Nambi lusts after Vennela and had Suri killed when he learnt about his relationship with her, not because he contested against him. He also killed Vennela's friend, Radha's husband, for the same reason. After learning about Chinna Nambi's true face, Dharani begins to protect Vennela from Chinna Nambi by marrying her. At first, Vennela sees Dharani with hatred due to him forcefully marrying her, but over time she grows fond of him. On the day of Dasara, Chinna Nambi reveals to Vennela about his involvement in Suri's death and Dharani's devotion to her, shocking Vennela, as she was not wary of Dharani's love for her since their childhood. During the Ravana dahanam, the same gang that chased and killed Suri and Dharani's friends are waiting for him. However, Dharani and his remaining group of friends manage to kill all of them, just as the police arrive to arrest them. Dharani reveals to the entire village of Chinna Nambi's doings.

    Before being taken away, he manages to escape from the police and decapitate Chinna Nambi in front of the entire village; Dharani and his friends are arrested as a result. Seven years later, they come back to the village after finishing their sentence. Dharani comes to know that the womenfolk are suffering as a result of the influence of alcohol on their husbands, and sets the bar on fire, finally realizing that alcohol will ruin everyone in the village. Vennela and Dharani have an emotional reunion after seven years.
