Saradha Bullodu

Vijay, an engineer with AP Oils, learns there are oil wells near Attamadugu and the outsiders want to exploit them. Sangliyana offers a large bribe and orders him to capture the wells, signaling the start of a high-stakes pressure campaign. Vijay refuses the bribe and warns Sangliyana that he will not betray his project or the villagers. This confrontation sets the stage for a mounting conflict over the oil fields.

Vijay reaches Attamadugu and formally begins work on the oil project, signaling a new phase for the village's fortunes. He stands firm against Sangliyana's pressure and the corrupt forces backing him. The villagers observe the early progress, aware that the oil deal could reshape Attamadugu's future. This marks the first real clash between integrity and influence.

Rajeswari Devi emerges as the ruthless head of Attamadugu, enforcing her will as the de facto authority. She keeps Jaya Chandra confined and treats Lakshmi as a servant, exploiting her position to maintain control. Vijay challenges her methods, refusing to bow to her power and cruelty.

Lakshmi overhears Rajeswari Devi's plot with Sangliyana to eliminate Vijay and quickly informs him. Vijay uses the warning to brace for danger, while the villagers sense that a dangerous scheme is underway. The air thickens with the threat of violence.

Rajeswari Devi announces a punishment that Lakshmi must marry a servant, displaying her cruel authority. Vijay interrupts the plan and publicly confronts Rajeswari Devi in front of the villagers. The clash deepens the conflict between Vijay and the village matriarch.

Rajeswari Devi produces a photograph of Shanta and claims Lakshmi’s mother is a prostitute, shaming Lakshmi and ruining her prospects. The insult also unsettles Vijay, because the photograph belongs to his own mother, Shanta. He returns to his hometown seeking answers and a way to clear the family name.

Vijay questions his mother about why she lives as a widow when her husband is alive. Shanta explains the past: Jaya Chandra's judgment that dissolved her marriage after an alleged affair. This revelation reframes the village's cruelty and motivates Vijay to fight for justice.

A flashback shows Jaya Chandra as the beloved arbitrator whose authority unified the village. Rajeswari Devi, consumed by jealousy, manipulated events to accuse Shanta and strip her of status. Jaya Chandra's stern decree removed Shanta's mangalsutra, bangles, and bottu, forcing her into widowhood. This memory fuels Vijay's resolve to challenge the matriarch.

With the truth emerging, Vijay swears to teach Rajeswari Devi a lesson and restore his mother's dignity. Nirmala Devi learns the full story and decides to stand by Vijay's side. The alliance marks the turning point in the struggle against tyranny.

Vijay, supported by Nirmala and the villagers, compels Rajeswari Devi to publicly admit the injustice she caused Shanta. The confession weakens her grip on Attamadugu and validates Vijay's challenge. The town begins to regroup around the truth.

Sangliyana kidnaps Shanta, triggering a tense rescue operation. Vijay races to the hideout, engaging in a dangerous confrontation to bring her back unharmed. The raid intensifies the conflict and tests everyone's resolve.

In the climactic battle, Vijay kills Sangliyana, ending the immediate threat to Shanta. During the attack, Jaya Chandra is injured but completes a symbolic act by marking Shanta with his blood and the family's bottu. The moment signals a new, reconciled order for Attamadugu.

Rajeswari Devi apologizes to everyone for her misdeeds, acknowledging the harm she caused. The village begins to heal as old wounds close and justice settles in. The film ends with the marriage of Vijay and Nirmala Devi, symbolizing a new beginning for Attamadugu.
