Rowdy Fellow (2014) – Full Plot Summary & Ending Explained

Read the complete plot breakdown of Rowdy Fellow (2014), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

Rana Prathap Jayadev is a wealthy man whose ego often puts him at odds with others. A political rally organized by the henchmen of MP ASuragana Durga Prasad disturbs his mood, leading to a heated confrontation. The incident unfolds at the police station, where the SP demands that Rana apologize to the henchmen. Rana refuses at first, but a tense exchange with the police ends with him apologizing to the henchmen and warning the SP that he will hear from him soon.

This turn of events sparks Rana’s drastic decision to enter the police service himself, aiming to take revenge on the SP. Using his wealth and influence, he bribes a minister to become a Sub-Inspector in a rural area. Once in uniform, he pursues the law in his own blunt way, creating headaches for the SP and challenging the existing order. Along the way, he befriends Constable Reddy, who becomes a loyal ally in his fight against corruption. He also discovers love with the SP’s daughter, Megha, and after a series of comic encounters, she grows to care for him as well.

Rana then tackles a missing-person case involving the head constable. His investigation reveals that the constable has been missing since his joining date, and, with the CI’s cooperation, uncovers that Prasad’s henchmen are connected to a “lockup death.” The investigation centers on a lone witness—the constable’s colleague—who confesses that the CI killed the person in the police station and used bribery as a shield. The colleague flees, while the constable, unable to uphold his ethics, takes his own life. The CI attempts to cover up the crime, but Rana finds the body and moves to arrest the CI. In the ensuing chase, the CI dies in an ambulance accident.

From that moment, Rana becomes deeply involved in Prasad’s activities and begins to see how deeply corruption seeps through the police system. With support from his father, he pushes for better pay for lower-ranking officers and insists on honest work. He forges an uneasy alliance with the SP and, with Megha’s blessing, the couple marries. Rana keeps pressing Prasad, and in one violent clash he kills Prasad’s brother. Prasad retaliates, but is injured in a backstab by Reddy. Rana is saved by his father’s private security team, led by James, another trusted aide. Prasad later learns Rana is alive and arranges a meeting through Reddy to broker a truce. The final confrontation ends with Rana shooting Prasad to death, and the story closes as Rana forgives Reddy and cements their partnership.
