It revolves around Anand, an environmental activist comes to Hyderabad to attend a seminar, where an unexpected encounter with Sathyam, a mechanic who runs a criminal organization called "Janatha Garage" for the oppressed, changes his purpose in life.

Devi Sri Prasad composed the music for the film, while Tirru and Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao handled the cinematography and editing.

Upon his brother Shiva's encouragement, Sathyam operates a large automobile service center named "Janatha Garage" in Hyderabad.

They ask Shiva's friend, ASP Chandrashekar, to help, but he is helpless as there is no proper evidence against the goons, who have an influential background.

As an adult, Anand is an environmental science graduate and activist in Mumbai, with the same fighting spirit as Sathyam, constantly worrying Suresh.

Sathyam asks his son, Raghava, to take over, but he refuses, instead marrying Mukesh's daughter, Riya, without his family's approval and in the hopes of becoming a big businessman.

When the police chief tells Chandrashekar to close the bomb blast case, he asks Janatha Garage for help.

Bose found out that Raghava and Mukesh planned the blasts to undermine Janatha Garage's government influence.
