Plot

The film begins in a small kingdom, Mangalapuri, under Manipuri's authority. The Prince of Mangalapuri Gunasagara, in disguise as Janadasu, always fights against the atrocities of the emperor. In that process, he falls for Gauri, the hotel owner's daughter. Right now, the emperor orders the payment of huge taxes when King Mangalapuri sends his son Gunasagara as a mediator. Despite listening to their predicament, the emperor refuses. Here, the Emperor's daughter, Vijaya, loves Gunasagara at first sight and secretly helps them pay taxes. Being conscious of Vijaya's love, the emperor sends chief commander Veerasimha as an emissary to fix her alliance with Gunasagara, to which he refuses. Meanwhile, Veerasimha is attracted to Gauri and tries to grab her when Gunasagara lands for her rescue. In the combat, Gunasagara is severely injured and loses his memory. Veerasimha feels it is the best time to couple up with Vijaya. Parallelly, Gauri arrives as a gypsy to see Gunasagara when Vijaya feels jealous and wants to remove her from her path. What happens ultimately?
