The plot follows Arjun Prasad (Daggubati) who becomes the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh succeeding his deceased father and his struggle to fight the corruption plaguing the political system.

The fictional Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Sanjeevayya is mortally wounded in a bomb attack, and expresses his wish for his son Arjun to succeed as the next CM in his dying breath.

While his plan works, Munuswami offers his support on condition that Arjun saves an influential Alliance Party MLA's son accused of raping and murdering a tribal girl.

When Archana too leaves him after Dhanunjay informs her of his ploy, Arjun realizes that he has compromised his values to protect his position, and that he can never serve honorably while he is obligated to corrupt politicians.

He unofficially orders his security chief to kill the MLA's son and his anti-corruption officers to raid and expose every corrupt elite including Mahadevayya, Dhanunjay, and Munuswami.

He then resigns as the CM to seek reelection as an independent, and with Ali, Ratna Prabha, and Archana's support, wins the bye-election after a vigorous campaign and resolves to bring change.

A The Times of India critic gave three stars of five, noting "Another lineage star Rana Daggubati takes his first bow at the Box Office with an inspiring political saga, he puts in a surprisingly mature performance (for a debutant) and shines in his role of a savvy young CEO of a US-based company who turns a conniving politician with effortless ease.

"[5] A reviewer from Sify explains "The technical aspects of the film are highly impressive with superb cinematography, excellent music and terrific background score.
