Jeeva, a youngster going though a constant phase of bad luck, meets a priest, who tells him to arrive at a village Ramadurga to know about his "Janma Rahasya" (transl. Secret Birth). Jeeva initially does not care about the priest's advice, but learns from his grandfather that his father was an orphan. Jeeva travels to Ramadurga to meet the priest and is accompanied by his uncle and Geetha. Jeeva arrives at the village and gets involved in a fight with goons working for Tantrik, who terrorizes the villagers due to some purpose.

Jeeva saves the villagers by defeating Tantrik's goons, where he meets the priest and learns that his biological grandfather is Bhajarangi, a messaiah who works to save the people from any trouble. Bhajarangi had battled the Tantrik and saved the villages from his harassment, but the Tantrik finished Bhajarangi by creating a demon Raktaksha in the form of a baby and made Bhajarangi believe that he is his son Raana. The real Raana was actually saved and given a villager (Jeeva's adopted grandfather) who adopts Raana as his own son.

Raktaksha started terrorizing the village and meets Krishne, a dancer and devotee of Lord Krishna. Raktaksha lusted after Krishne and wanted to sleep with her, but Krishne killed herself by setting herself on fire and cursed Raktaksha. Raktaksha died due to Krishne's curse. The Tantrik arrived to meet Raktaksha and asks for a dagger, but Raktaksha told the Tantrik to bring Krishne. After learning this, Jeeva initially decides to leave, but is encouraged by Geetha to fight the Tantrik.

While performing a pooja, the priest gets shocked about Geetha's horoscope and tells Jeeva that Geetha's horoscope matches with Krishne, indicating that Geetha is in danger. The Tantrik's goons kidnap Geetha and take her to the Tantrik. The Tantrik confronts Raktaksha's spirit and finds the dagger, but the Tantrik finishes Raktaksha's spirit. Jeeva arrives at the Tantrik's hideout and their fight leads them to the village. A tough battle ensues, where Jeeva defeats and kills the Tantrik, thus saving the village and avenging Bhajarangi's death.
