Plot
Viraj "Raja" is the heir of a cloth manufacturing company named Raj Group, who gets disowned by his mother and matriarch of his joint family Anjana Devi due to some misunderstanding. Years later, Viraj is now working as a moneylender leading a life with his friends Chikka and Karimale, where he also falls in love with a rich girl named Geetha. At a theatre, Raja saves a newly transferred
Bhairava also plans to illegally grab land sold to a village temple by Raja's late father Muthuraju. These two incidents cause enmity between Raja and Bhairava. When the land is formally sold to the temple, an irate Bhairava orders his henchman to assault Raja's uncle Satyaraju. Anjana Devi realizes her mistake of misunderstanding Vasu and reunites with him. Raja learns about the incident and thrashes Bhairava's henchmen. Later, Bhairava tries to attack Raja, but Raja thrashes him in full view of the public.
Assisted by Surya Prakash and Geetha, Raja subdues Bhairava's attempts to destroy his family by capturing the North Indian killers, leading to Bhairava's arrest warrant being issued. During the temple festival, Bhairava's second wife kills Anjana Devi with a venomous knife, but Anjana Devi survives the attack. Enraged, Raja rushes to Jodhpur and kills Bhairava and his hitman friend Raj Thakur. Raja returns home and joins with his family along with Geetha and her family for a family photo.
