Veerabhadra

The film opens in a Hyderabad colony called Adarsa as Murali Krishna arrives with his disabled sister Mallika and rents a house. He immediately starts mingling with the residents, showing his protective and gallant nature. The community begins to notice the quiet strength he brings to the neighborhood.

Murali begins to win allies in the colony and meets Ashtalakshmi, a bold young woman who captures his attention. He arranges Mallika's admission into a college run by the imprisoned tycoon Peddiraju, setting up a clash between Murali's world and Peddiraju's power. The move foreshadows the feud that will dominate the story.

Peddiraju and his brothers intensify their hunt for Murali, resenting his influence over the colony. Murali's protective stance toward Mallika further enrages their faction. Malathi, Murali's love interest, becomes involved as the tension between rival powers escalates.

Peddiraju attacks Mallika; Murali rushes to her rescue. A DCP with whom Murali has a prior grudge blocks him, yet Murali overpowers the men and saves Mallika. Despite his courage, he is arrested, inflaming tensions between him and the authorities.

A ploy to kill the DCP implicates Murali, but he shields the officer and escapes custody. Police arrive at Mallika's home, and she reveals that Murali is not her brother but her bodyguard. She later explains to the colony that her actions were meant to protect Murali.

The narrative shifts to Vizag, where a Zamindar's son dies; a baby Murali is born to a woman and is condemned by the Zamindar to be wiped out. The benevolent Kondaiah saves the infant and gives him to a drunkard, Pothuraju. Years pass, and Murali grows up among the poor, developing a sense of justice.

Murali grows into a man who shares the hardships of the masses and leads against the DCP's abuses. He forms a bond with the Pothuraju family, though they exploit him due to selfish motives. He begins to emerge as a voice for the oppressed.

Pothuraju counterfeits Murali by using a photograph of Malathi as his fiancée to trap Murali into a corner. Murali chases Malathi to clear the confusion, but she rejects the ruse. He apologizes after realizing the deception, deepening the emotional distance between them.

A land dispute between Zamindar and Peddiraju grows tenser, and in a cruel move, Mallika loses her leg in an attack meant to pressure the dispute. This brutal injury strengthens Murali's resolve to fight the enemies who harmed his family.

Malathi proposes to Murali, while his followers fend off Peddiraju's brothers' assaults. The Zamindar, recognizing Murali's growing influence, tries to undermine him by bribing Pothuraju to drive Murali out. Murali's supporters rally to defend him and their cause.

Kondaiah reveals Murali's true lineage to him. Mallika seeks his help, and Murali and Mallika grow closer as they face the crisis together. Peddiraju kills Zamindar in a moment of remorse, and Murali, furious, nearly kills Peddiraju but surrenders himself to protect others.

Murali is shifted to Hyderabad for safety, and he announces his intention to confront Peddiraju there. The colony backs Mallika as she copes with the loss, while the DCP continues undercover to prove Murali's innocence.

Undercover work by the DCP eventually clears Murali of guilt. Peddiraju tries to trap Murali with Malathi's arranged marriage, but Murali resists with support from Ashtalakshmi and Malathi.

The villains are defeated and peace returns to the colony as Murali and Malathi unite. The film ends on a happy note with Murali marrying Malathi, signaling a hopeful future for Adarsa.
