He kills the family members of the village headman one-by-one. when krishna and Sneha (Sonal Chauhan)they both come to India. As soon as he arrives in India, he gets involved in quarreling with the gang of Jitendra. In the consequence that continues later, Jitendra loses his son. In that rage, he attacks Krishna's family. to saves there family second character Balakrishna comes to picture and does his best and it is thanks to him that the viewer will remain in their seats to watch the whole film. The incredibly talented actor has done his part with total dedication. Radhika Apte did well her bit of histrionics. The footage given to her in this film is very small. But she enthralls the viewers with his limited role.

    Positives : * Legend is a romantic action entertainer with all commercial ingredients. Balakrishna's electrifying performance is the main highlight in the movie. He impresses the viewers with his unique dialog's diction, action and dance moves. * Radhika Apte has also done her best and her chemistry with Balayya which is good to watch on screen. * Jagapathi babu is another big asset of the film. This is really a turning point to him. * Boyapati Srinu's gripping narration with punch dialogs, chosen an interesting story which seems to have been written exclusively for Balayya. He has made it interesting with some surprising twists and turns. He has included all the required elements like action, comedy, family drama and romance. His engrossing narration coupled with wonderful performance and rich production values makes the movie a good entertainer for the Nandamuri fans.
