Kranti Rayanna is an NRI business magnate who is called by his master, Srikantaiah, to attend the 100th celebration of the government school he studied in his childhood. Kranti returns home from Europe and meets a school teacher named Sadashivayya who reveals to Kranti that his school along, with 12,000 other government schools, is in danger of Salatri, a shrewd businessman, who wants to privatise the government schools by issuing a government order with the help of corrupt Education minister Vaman Rao and Narasappa, a gangster. After learning this, Kranti wages a revolution against Salatri, Vaman Rao, Narasappa. He thrashes Narasappa's son, Nanjappa, and forcefully closes the private schools to seek attention from the Chief Minister, who later holds a meeting with Kranti. At the meeting, Kranti makes an eye-opening speech about the necessity for government schools to provide free education in order to remove the parents' burden. The Chief Minister is convinced and issues orders to renovate government schools and not to privatize them. Later, Vaman Rao resigns himself from his position, while Salatri is arrested for his illegal activities.
