Plot
The film begins with Mallu Dora revolting against society, building a massive hamlet of bandits, accumulating the victims, and generating mayhem through their heists. Once wounded, Mallu Dora approaches Dr. Chandra Sheker, where he is attracted to his infant son, Krishna, who resembles his deceased son, Kanna. One night, he steals and rears him as his own. Years pass, and Krishna / Kanna molds as a deadly dacoit associated with Naagu, Malli, & Anji. Grief-stricken, Doctor & his wife Yashoda dotes on their niece Indira / Indu. At a point, Kanna ruthlessly robs Yashoda & Indu and hits a Police encounter while returning. Police admit him to the hospital, where Chandra Shekar recognizes him by the mole of his back. Then, he secretly makes his escape and hides from the Police. The Doctor reveals his birth secret and reforms him by preaching human values. Kanna wants to start a new life as Krishna, so he accommodates himself at Chandra Shekar's residence without divulging his identity. Besides, Mallu Dora & others become distressed about him and eagerly await his arrival. Indu also learns the truth about Krishna, and they fall in love. In brief, civilized Krishna / Kanna reaches his hamlet and tries to convince Mallu Dora to reform for future generations. Whereat angered Mallu, Dora chided and expelled him. After some time, Krishna becomes a Police officer and is posted in the same area intentionally by Govt. He seizes a few mobsters with Naagu when furious Mallu Dora abducts some officials and seeks the mortgage. During that time, severe Police firing occurred, leaving massive destruction, including Naagu, Malli, etc. At last, Mallu Dora comprehends the result of an avenge viewing the corpses and surrenders. Finally, the movie ends with a proclamation: Non-violence is the supreme morality.
