A goon called Das (Srikanth) is very professional and spares no one to achieve his goals for his rich clients. Minister Kalarani occupies the lands of the poor in the name of Fab City and another local goon Dada demands her to pay him two hundred crores for the occupied land. Das on the other hand beats a man called Tagore, who is fighting for the rights of the locals. In these circumstances Das comes across a lawyer - Krishnaveni. who introduces him to the non-violent principles of Gandhiji and his life history.The last words of a Street Player (Ram Jagan) who plays the roles of the national leaders of freedom struggle awakens the human elements of Das. From here begins Das's struggle in following the principles of the great soul of the Father of the Nation. He fights non-violently to remove the party flag from the Gandhi statue and silently bears all the violence thrust on his body. Without lifting his hand to beat anyone, he successfully removes the flag from the statue and it becomes his first victory against the misdeeds without using violence. People begin to appreciate his change in behavior. Meanwhile, he comes across the son of Tagore, who fought for the landless. He stands in front of Tagore's house holding a placard bearing the letters "Please Forgive me". The stones hurled by Tagore's son and his friends doesn't stop him from achieving his target - winning theirs heart. Dasu takes up the task started by Tagore, fighting for the people who lost their lands to the government. Again minister Kalarani comes to the focus. A local party leader (Ahuti Prasad) successfully amends the differences between Kalarani and the local goon Dada (Jayaprakash Reddy). When the polices come to vacate the agitating people, Das warns to sacrifice his life by burning himself. This makes the hasty retreat of the police. Das gets admitted in the hospital. People begin to admire his leadership qualities. When the politicians try to bribe him, he refuses and demands them to return the occupied lands to them.Das is about to file nomination for the coming elections. The minister Kalavati and her companions send a man (Uttej) with poisonous drink to kill Das. He forgives the man and tries to help him monitarily to start a business.

What happens to Das and how he faces the wrath of the politicians and how the Gandhian principles help him to be victorious forms the rest of the story.
