Plot
editThe film begins in the village of Ratnapuri, situated on the frontier of Vijethapuram & Visalapuram, which holds a charter stating that it endorses Vijethapuram. Sly Visalapuram's King Narendra Varma ruses to squat it as it is most prosperous in yielding grain. Hence, he ceaselessly raids it, which is hindered by an intrepid resident, Pratap. Following this, he negotiates with the King of Vijethapuram, Vishnu Vardhana, who discerns his caliber & fidelity and appoints him as custodian. On his way back, Pratap secures Princess Padmini Devi, and they crush. As of now, Pratap carves his men as gallants to shield themselves. Vishnu Vardhana, too, charges his chief commander Ajay Simha to aid them. He becomes a traitor by mingling with Narendra Varma since he promised to offer the kingdom and Padmini.
Next, Pratap lands at Ratnapuri, claws Pratap's sister Madhavi, knits her, and quits. Concurrently, Vishnu Vardhana passes away, letting on the charter to Padmini. After a while, Madhavi conceives when Pratap advances to the capital with her to meet Ajay. Madhavi resides at Choultry Pratap and reaches the fort. Ajay detects it and ploys to slay her by drowning her in the waterfall. Unbeknownst, Ajay's mother saves her. Here, Pratap becomes grieved by his sister's death when Padmini consoles him and requests that he protect the kingdom.
Meanwhile, Ajay wiles to surrender the charter to Nagendra Varma when Padmini flees and reaches Pratap, and they acquire it. Once, Ajay visits his house and gets startled by Madhavi's presence, via whom he fetches the charter from Pratap and abducts Padmini. Being mindful of totality, Ajay's mother revolts as her husband is staunch and moves to the fort with Madhavi when today is time for his crowning ceremony. In tandem, Pratap onslaughts on the fort guards, and Padmini publicly divulges the charter when they stamp out Narendra Varma. Plus, Pratap is on the verge of killing Ajay when Madhavi blocks him. However, foxy Ajay attempts to backstab when his mother sacrifices her life. Therein, Ajay reforms and seeks a sentence when Padmini penalizes life him at Ratnapuri as a protector. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Pratap & Padmini.
