Plot

Parvataneni Tulasi Ram aka Tulasi (Venkatesh) is a native of Palnadu region. As his region is well known for factional feuds, his father Dasaratha Ramayya (Vijaykumar) keeps him away in Hyderabad, gets him educated, and makes him an architect. Once he goes to an abroad trip, where he comes across Vasundhara aka Vasu (Nayantara) and loses his heart. He marries her, and they continue to lead a happy life. When Vasu turns pregnant, Tulasi takes her to their native place to share the happy moments with the entire family.

Tulasi turns violent when a rival faction pushes his father, and teaches all of them a big lesson with a lot of bloodshed. Even as Tulasi was silent, the factional feuds continue to haunt him. When Vasu's brother (Sivaji) dies in the attack by factionists, Vasu couldn't digest the violence and deserts Tulasi with their son Harsha (Atulith). Later, Tulasi comes to know that Harsha has a blood clot in his brain, and it may cause hemorrhage. With the help of Dr. Surekha (Ramya Krishnan), Tulasi summons specialists from abroad to get Harsha operated. When everything is ready for the surgery, a gangster (Ashish Vidyarthi) takes away the boy as both of his sons (Subbaraju and Riyaz Khan) were killed by Tulasi. In the climax, Tulasi turns violent and kills everyone to save his son's life. Learning that violence would not only take the lives but also saves lives, Vasu reunites with Tulasi, and the film ends on a happy note.
