Plot

The film begins with the birthday celebrations of Prince Chinna Venkatrayudu, son of Raja Rangarayudu, King of Bobbili, for which Raja Vijayaramaraju, King of Vijayanagaram, is invited. Occasionally, sports competitions are held in which the Bobbili team triumphs, for which Vijayaramaraju hacks off and waits for the shot. At the same time, French invaders cracked into the country and sent a memorandum to Vijayaramaraju by General Bussi. Exploiting it, he mingles with him, seizing power over Bobbili to seek vengeance. Vijayaramaraju edicts Bobbili to pay taxes, which they gallantly deny when he gets ready for an attack.

Meanwhile, Vengalarayudu, the sibling of Rangarayudu, knits Subhadra, the sister of Tandra Papa Rayudu. Soon after, Papa Rayudu senses the movement of spies in the fort who divulge the wiles of Vijayaramaraju and diverts them with untrue of their arrival from Rajam. Being cognizant of it, Papa Rayudu moves, but Bussi intrigues them by proceeding in the forest route and surrounding the fort. At this level, Rangarayudu consigns Dharma Rayudu for negotiations, which fails, and all channels are blocked. Ergo, Papa Rayudu is aware of the catastrophe.

The war begins, and the French army intrudes by breaking the fort walls with artilleries, leading to severe damage. Vengalarayudu is backstabbed when Subhadra also leaves her breath. Currently, Rangarayudu goes forth when his wife, Mallamma Devi, discerns their fall. To safeguard their heritage, she secretly stirs Chinna Venkatrayudu to Samarlakota. Besides, the French army cannot withstand Rangarayudu's valor. So, Bussi orders to blast the fort in which all men die and women inside, including Mallamma Devi, commit suicide. Tandra Papa Rayudu detects something fishy and rushes to Bobbili. Parallelly, Chandrayamma, wife of Vijayaramaraju, also drives to bar the battle. Amid this, she views Chinna Venkatrayudu and safeguards him. Following, Papa Rayudu lands, spots corpses on all sides along with Rangarayudu & Mallamma, and flares up. At midnight, he enters the tent of Vijayaramaraju, slaughters him when Chandrayamma also dies, and Papa Rayudu kills himself. Finally, the movie ends with Bobbili & Vijayanagaram princes uniting their hands.
