Baladoor

Chanti (Ravi Teja) holds his elder father Ramakrishna (Krishna) in higher regard than his father Purushottam (Chandra Mohan). Ramakrishna has a longstanding enmity with Umapathi (Pradeep Rawat) due to an incident that occurred 20 years ago. Later, due to some misunderstandings, Chanti is expelled from their house. Umapathi is determined to overpower Ramakrishna. The rest of the story unfolds as Chanti secretly aids Ramakrishna in defeating their enemies and eventually reunites with his family.
