Plot

The film begins with Inspector Ranjith Kumar a sheer cop who swears to protect the integrity and sovereignty of the nation. Once he intrepidly captures a brigand gang in which he is wounded. At the same time, his wife Annapurna delivers a baby boy. Since Annapurna's father is a strong believer in astrology, he learns that the child ignites the father's death. So, he ostracizes him with a maidservant Gauri and falsifies him as dead. After some time, Ranjith is honored with the Gold Medal nobilitating as Kondaveeti Simham and the couple is blessed with another kid Ravi. But in vain, Ravi turns into a spoiled brat in boyhood itself. So, for his welfare, Ranjith sends him to a juvenile home and maintains secrecy from Annapurna. Thereafter, Ranjith sentences a malicious hoodlum Nagaraju who pledges to destroy Ranjith's clan.

Years roll by, and presently, Ranjith is ennobled as SP. Ramu the elder son of Ranjith grows up in a village. Once he is acquainted with a charming girl Devi daughter of Major Gopalam the soul mate of Ranjith. Initially, they squabble then fall in love. Just after, Ramu aims to clear their debt and arrives at the city where with the help of Gopalam he starts up a business. Timeless, Ravi also backs with hostility toward his father and couple up with a girl Padma. Simultaneously, Nagaraju releases, ploys to kill Annapurna and she is rescued by Ramu when he gets closer to them. Later on, Ravi makes a huge robbery at Gopalam's residence and indicts Ramu. However, Ranjith gazes at and seizes Ravi. Exploiting it, Nagaraju intrigues by hanging Ravi after release as avenging on Ranjith. Ravi quits the house and acts according to Nagaraju, making his parents dispirited as a payback.

Grief-stricken Annapurna paralyzes and becomes terminally ill when Gauri reveals the birth secret of Ramu. Before dying, she takes a word from him to reform his brother. Here, Ravi avoids her funeral too which Ramu performs. Besides, Ranjith is appointed on special duty to safeguard a plan containing national secrets for which Nagaraju conspires to eliminate him. Gazing it, Ramu gamely enrolls with Nagaraju and makes Ravi figure out the fiendishness of the blackguards. But unfortunately, they are caught. Right now, Ranjith learns the actuality and flares up on Nagaraju. At last, Ranjith ceases the baddies but sacrifices his life while securing the plan. Finally, the movie is dedicated to the bravery of the cops of the nation.
