A newcomer Hari (Chiranjeevi) enters into the village and fights with Gangaiah and owns his property and does well to the village people. Village people start calling him as Rustum. Hari works for the village welfare and acts promptly for any help needed. Rayudu sets a trap to kick Hari out of the village. As a part of his trap, Rayudu gives the village head post to Hari. Meanwhile, Hari & Padma (Urvashi) daughter of Rayudu falls in love and Hari also gets closer to Brahmaiah Naidu (Gummadi) and Parvathi (Annapoorna), a couple that is affected by Rayudu's injustice. Once Hari is suspected as the cause of a village girl's Lakshmi (Rajyalakshmi) pregnancy and her suicide, hence Hari was asked to leave the village. The even Padma suspects Hari. In the trial to prove that he is not the reason behind Lakshmi's suicide, he knows that Giri (Giri Babu), son of Rayudu is the main reason. Rayudu fixes up Rudraiah (Satyanarayana), younger brother of Brahmaiah Naidu, who just got released from prison, to kill Hari.
