Adavi Ramudu Story
The film begins in a forest where a high-level of [[Pterocarpus santalinus|Sandalwood]] and [[Wildlife smuggling]] is conducted by honorable-seeking Dharmaraju and his son Nagaraju/Naagu. Plus, tribes are trampled to go astray. During that plight, Ramu, a stout-hearted stranger, enters, impedes the brutality, and develops an affinity with the folks. He views their soulless time and rectifies it by civilizing them. Whereat, a tribal girl, Chilakamma, adores him as a sibling. Meanwhile, Ranga Rao, the forest ranger, arrives with his daughter Padma. After a series of donnybrooks, Ramu and Padma fall in love. Indeed, the totality of Dharmaraju is owned by his mate Raja Shekaram, settled in [[Yangon|Rangoon]]. Before proceeding, he also confided his kid to Dharmaraju, who had been misled. Presently, he ruses by forging Naagu as his son. Once, under poaching, Ranga Rao is slaughtered by Naagu when they also kill a tribal infant, Gowri, and jeopardize Ramu to exit. Ergo, he quits despite the refusal to remain.
Here, as a flabbergast, Ramu turns into a forest officer who has made a covert operation undercover. Today, he relocates as the ranger with Padma and his mother, Rajyalakshmi. In tandem, Raja Shekaram is about to return when Naagu wiles to slay him and is secured by Ramu, tragically losing his vision. Since Ramu becomes a tough nut, Dharmaraju’s frame tries to assassinate him, but to no avail. At that point, Dharmaraju detects Ramu as Raja Shekaram’s son by his mole and is startled to view Rajyalakshmi, who divulges the fact to Ramu. After Raja Shekaram’s departure, Dharmaraju deserts and ploys to wipe him out. Her stanch husband guards her by sacrificing his life, but she absconds. Ramu onslaughts Dharmaraju, who extorts him to keep Raja Shekaram in his custody. At last, Ramu ceases baddies in various forms of disguise. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Ramu and Padma.
