Muddula Mavayya

In a remote village, the power of a ruthless zamindar, Ranga Rao, looms large as he schemes to seize land for a liquor factory, stirring fear and resentment among the locals. A new inspector arrives, intent on enforcing the law, but he quickly learns the village’s pressure points and the extent of Ranga Rao’s influence. The clash begins in earnest as the inspector confronts the tyranny, while Ranga Rao answers with calculated cruelty, pressing the villagers to bend to his will. Against this backdrop of oppression, a man named Raja emerges—not as a polished hero, but as a steadfast, fearless fighter who has learned to survive as a life-long pickpocket. He is bound to his sister Lakshmi, and his life revolves around protecting her and keeping their fragile bond intact.

Raja carries the weight of a difficult upbringing. He has carved out a rough existence, yet his loyalty to Lakshmi is unwavering and honest. In the midst of the turmoil, his path crosses with the reserved and striking Vidya, whose presence unsettles him in a new and compelling way. Yet the main thread of the village’s storm centers on the struggle between Raja and Ranga Rao, a conflict that pits personal loyalty against ruthless power. Raja’s courage becomes a beacon for the villagers, standing up to Ranga Rao with a blend of grit and grit-born conscience that earns both fear and a hint of respect from those who witness it.

Ranga Rao does not fight fair. He enlists his son Chinna to do his bidding, using him to manipulate Lakshmi and plant trouble in Raja’s life. Chinna’s advance toward Lakshmi isn’t a simple courtship; it’s a calculated move designed to break the family’s resistance and tighten Ranga Rao’s grip on the village. Raja, though wary, does not abandon Lakshmi, and he voices warnings that she should steer clear of the dangerous schemes around her. Despite the danger, Lakshmi defies the oppression she witnesses, maintaining a sense of hope for a safer future.

The situation grows darker as Lakshmi discovers that Chinna has been weaving a far more sinister web than romance alone. Ranga Rao’s malice becomes personal when Lakshmi, who has become pregnant, uncovers Chinna’s presence at his residence. The revelation shatters the fragile calm and triggers a brutal confrontation: the men loyal to Ranga Rao attack Lakshmi, leaving her gravely wounded. In a moment of righteous fury, Raja confronts the threats and retaliates, killing Chinna in a act of vengeance that steels his resolve. Lakshmi, however, is fatally wounded in the attack. On her deathbed, she entrusts Raja with a solemn request: to free the enslaved villagers from Ranga Rao’s iron grip. The moment cements Raja’s commitment to the broader cause and gives him a personal mission that goes beyond mere survival.

The death of Lakshmi is coupled with a pledge from the village’s new protector: the inspector promises to back Raja’s bid to reclaim justice for the people. This pledge becomes a lifeline as Raja steps into a more determined leadership role. He begins to view his nephew—the child born to Lakshmi—as the living symbol of hope for the village’s future. Vidya, who has become a guardian figure in Feng’s tale, supports the arrangement, helping to raise the child in a safer environment away from the reach of Ranga Rao’s greed. The bond between Raja and Vidya remains guarded but nurturing as they navigate the challenges that come with safeguarding the boy and preserving the village’s rights.

Time advances, and Raja’s mission grows more urgent. He secures the villagers’ testamentary papers and other documents that could safeguard the child from Ranga Rao’s schemes, ensuring the boy’s future is protected against the zamindar’s coercive reach. The inspector, true to his promise, sacrifices his life while protecting the child, a stark reminder of the personal cost embedded in the struggle for justice. With the inspector’s sacrifice fueling his determination, Raja’s resolve hardens, and he marches forward to confront Ranga Rao in a climactic confrontation that tests every ounce of his grit.

In the end, Raja’s aim is clear: to end Ranga Rao’s tyranny and to secure a safe, just future for the village and its newest generation. The film closes on a solemn note, with the villagers’ future resting on the shoulders of a single man who refuses to be broken. The boy—Raja’s nephew—stands at the center of a new chapter, preparing to lay the final rites for the villain who once ruled with fear. The story remains a measured portrait of courage, sacrifice, and the quiet power of communal resilience, where loyalty to family and commitment to justice intersect in a village that refuses to surrender.
