Samarasimha Reddy

The film begins with Kanthamma, a shrew running a small-scale hotel, torments her stepchildren Vasu & his three sisters, Sangeeta, Sarala, & Saraswati, where Vasu revolts over Kanthamma and quits the house. Years roll by, and Kanthamma goes into bankruptcy of a charming Srikakulam Chittamma who entices customers as an opponent. Meanwhile, an energetic Abbulu joins as an employee at Kanthamma and spins her business to prosperity. The three sisters see their childhood photograph with him when he affirms himself as Vaasu. He asks them to quiet as their aunt drives him away again. Presently, Abbulu aims to perform the wedding of Sangeeta, educate Sarala, & recoup paralyzed Saraswati. Hence, he strives hard to accumulate money and wangles Kanathamma.

Consequently, Abbulu squabbles with Chittamma, resulting in several falls for him, where he hides from the sons of savage amputee factionist Veera Raghava Reddy, who are intensively in search of him. Therefore, Abbulu forces them to be seized by the cops when the local SP gets startled and bows his head down before Abbulu. Frenzied, Veera Raghava Reddy calls his daughter Anjali from abroad, who inflames and pledges to seek vengeance. In the interim, the siblings of notorious goon Aakula Bandabbai tease Sangeeta when Abbulu thumps them. Angered, Bandabbai forcibly tries to knit Sangeeta with his brother by bribing greedy Kanthamma. Before this time, Abbulu recovers Saraswati, who is facing a risk. He saves Sangeeta, too, and warns Kanthamma, declaring himself Vaasu. As a flabbergast, Anjali arrives, proclaiming him as a homicide of Vaasu named Samarasimha Reddy.

Being conscious of it, the three girls loathe and treat him like feces. Plus, Anjali's men batter him, which he thresholds with patience. Chittamma shelters him to whom Abbulu/Vaasu/Samarasimha Reddy divulges his story. An argument arises when his sisters hinder Samarasimha Reddy from conducting obsequies of Vaasu. Then, Anjali turns it in her favor and makes Samarasimha Reddy drink poison and collapse. Parallelly, Bandabbai's gang raids on three when Samarasimha Reddy awakes and thrashes them. Immediately, SP admits him in the hospital, states the eminence of Samarasimha Reddy, and spins rearward.

Samarasimha Reddy is a roaring lion of Rayalaseema, son of powerful factionist Narasimha Reddy. After leaving home, Samarasimha Reddy nurtures Vaasu as his younger, and Vaasu turns into true blue. Veera Raghava Reddy upholds fierce rivalry with them. Once, Samarasimha Reddy backs, triumphing on Veera Raghava Reddy when he mocks, and Samarasimha Reddy violently counterstrikes him. Meanwhile, Samarasimha Reddy's alliance is fixed with his cousin Deepika, and the entire family proceeds to shop. Veera Raghava Reddy, which flames with ignominy ruses, slaughters them by backstabbing. Spotting it, Samarasimha Reddy onslaughts on Veera Raghava Reddy and leaves him alive by amputating as a penalty. Accidentally, Vaasu dies in that combat by the stab of Samarasimha Reddy. Before leaving the breath, Samarasimha Reddy said Vaasu to guard his sisters. As per his wish, he supports them with his hard earnings only.

Listening to it, everyone understands his virtue, including Anjali. Currently, with the Chittamma guides Anjali to espouse Samarasimha Reddy. Informed thereof, her brothers attempt to slay her when Veera Raghava Reddy impedes them and moves with the proposal. Initially, Samarasimha Reddy refuses, but at the request of all, be in accord to establish peace. Soon after the wedding, Veera Raghava Reddy runs through Anjali, uttering her as the enemy's wife, but she is secured. Samarasimha Reddy revolts when the entire terrain is reformed, including Veera Raghava Reddy's sons viewing his righteousness. At last, Veera Raghava Reddy is unable to tolerate his success and commits suicide. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note.
