When the state governor (Tom Alter) comes to Chintapalli along with his daughter Diana for a brief vacation, Subash Chandra Bose welcomes him by blowing up the water tank in his palace. Enraged Governor asks his army to kill Bose. With the help of a local native Bandodu (Prakash Raj), the British army wipes out the entire village population including Bose’s lover (Shriya).In an act of betrayal by Bandodu, the army kills Bose too. Ashok realises that he is the reincarnation of Subash Chandra Bose and Prakashraj is Bandodu. In the climax Bose kills Bandodu.

 performance as describe by reviewer, "Venkatesh is impressive as Ashok. The character of Subash Chandra Bose did not suit Venkatesh"; "Venkatesh did well in both roles of Chandram and Ashok. However, the characterizations of these two characters are not good enough to exploit the histrionics of Venkatesh. He has shown variation in the get-up of both the characters";"Venkatesh sleep-walks in his dual role as Ashok and Chandram". Among the heroines reviewers describe Shriya

's performance as "Shriya, who plays Venkatesh’s lover in the past, looks glamourous, but is there just for the usual song ‘n’ dance routine"; "Shriya is sexy and her movements are very sensuous."; " Shriya is cute in the role of innocent patriotic village belle. Her costumes are very simple as they represent the culture of 1940s. She is sensuous and at the same time voluptuous in the song of 'Neredi Pandu'.". While Genelia
