Plot

Raghava is a hot-blooded, restless youth who cannot tolerate injustice that is being done in society. In the process, he picks up a fight with a local

Raghavendra Swamy
. This entire episode comes as a flashback. Raghava has a pretty fiancé called Maha Lakshmi in Mantralayam. He becomes a saint-like man and does not respond when some goons humiliate Maha Lakshmi and take off her clothes in public. Raghava's parents, who forcibly restricted his helping nature, ask him to get rid of his maala and go back to society to serve people. Raghava goes like a wounded tiger and fights with Ankineedu's goons. In the end, Raghavendra kills Ankineedu to save people and avenge Sirisha's Death.
