Plot
Jaggi is a slum dweller who works for a small-time politician named D. Rajahuli and Health Minister Kalinga. Rajajuli gets an election ticket for the by-elections, and he gets the support of Jaggi and his gang. However, the opposition party headed by Lalitha Devi, an honest social worker, stands against Rajahuli. Jaggi soon learns that he is Lalitha's biological son and that Lalitha's husband, Kalinga, had killed her parents in a massacre for his political career and also made the people believe that Lalitha is mentally ill. After having survived a murder attempt by Kalinga's men, Lalitha decided to expose Kalinga by standing against him in the election. Learning this, Jaggi and his friends support Lalitha in her cause, and they finally defeat Rajahuli and expose Kalinga's real face to the people. The people kill Kalinga in a stampede, while Jaggi walks away with his foster parents, Lalitha, and his girlfriend, Manjula.
