Plot

edit

The film begins in a village where Suryanarayana / Suri Babu is an unemployed youth who stands for righteousness. Puttaguntla Sriramulaiah, a rectitude MLA, is the preceptor of Suri Babu. He always insists Suri Babu be on board with politics, which he denies. Then, with Sriramulaiah's influence, Suri Babu joins as Personal Secretary to an amoral Chief Minister Tirupati Nayudu. In his tyranny, anarchy and irregularities flare in the direction of an anti-social element, Mahendra Bhupati, the sidekick to CM. Suri Babu, in his rank, helps the impoverished and acquires a good reputation in public. In that process, he provides financial support for a deserving penniless student, Rajeswari, and they fall in love.

Once, Mahendra Bhupati's younger brother, Narendra Bhupati, bedevils with a girl, Aasha, sister of CM's attender, when Suri Babu kicks him off. In that rage, Narendra & his friends molest and slaughter Aasha. Suri Babu catches them with pieces of evidence and files up the case. But CM pulled wires and dropped the charges against the culprits. During that plight, Sriramulaiah started a public agitation against the CM, which intensified. So, CM slays Sriramulaiah, and before leaving his breath, he takes an oath from Suri Babu that he will enter politics as his heir—accordingly, Suri Babu contests from the Sriramulu constituency, opposite CM's candidate Mahendra Bhupathi. Soon after triumphing, Suri Babu accumulated 25 independents, which became the deciding factor in forming a government. Here, Bharatamma, wife of Sriramulaiah, offers support to the party that makes Suri Babu CM as it is a prerequisite, Tirupati Naidu's party steps in and designates Suri Babu as Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. From there, he made many revolutionary changes in governance that mobilized a high level of public credence and applause.

Parallelly, Tirupati Naidu & Mahendra Bhupati avenge their political failure. On the eve of Suri Babu & Rajeswari, they plot to assassinate him, but tragically, his parents die in it. Enraged, Suri Babu outbursts Tirupati Naidu and challenges that the law will not spare him. Suri Babu forms a special team to uncover the diabolic shade of these brutal. Plus, he entrusts the charge to Inspector Hamsa Nandini, who he favors to gain employment. On the verge of cracking the case, the miscreants slaughter Hamsa Nandini and smash the leads. Moreover, the knaves incriminate and apprehend Suri Babu as the homicide of Puttaguntla Sriramulaiah, which dethrones him, and the government collapses. Suri Babu has decided to establish a new party with new young candidates. He starts his campaign for ensuing elections from the prison, which procures great response and glory. At last, Suri Babu calls for a vast meeting, Maha Garjana Sabha, when the devil ruins to bar him. Yet, he successfully reaches the destination ceasing. Finally, the movie ends with Suri Babu announcing his party as Mana Desam and introducing a new system of Recall.
