Chiranjeevi, a Ph.D. scholar & student union leader, loves a charming girl, Vasantha, the daughter of Municipal Chairman Vinayaka Rao. Vinayaka Rao is spiteful and perpetrates anti-social activities in the veil of social welfare and illicitly siphons off the public, which Chiranjeevi antagonizes. So, begrudged Vinayaka Rao clutches Chiranjeevi's brother-in-law, Shekar, who deserts his wife and seeks Rs.50,000. Now, Chiranjeevi decides to sell their ancestors' property and spends a night there, acquiring a magical statuette that grants any wish. Through it, Chiranjeevi effects so many wonders and teases Vinayaka Rao but soon realizes it was his dream and returns. Then Vinayaka Rao swindles Shekar. He regrets it and pleads for pardon. At that point, Municipal elections are declared when Chiranjeevi contests against Vinayaka Rao and dethrones him. At last, Chiranjeevi ceases Vinayaka Rao, who retains a semblance of order & peace in the society. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Chiranjeevi & Vasantha.
Music composed by T. Chalapathi Rao.[3]
