                    The film, with a focus on the faction fights in Rayalaseema, 
                    is rather disappointing. Every aspect including the diction 
                    is artificial. The artistes, while dubbing, forget about Rayalaseema 
                    dialect and slip into routine diction. Secondly, serious and 
                    violent characters are diluted and pushed into comic zone. 
                    One finds this happening to S.P. Yadav (Sudhakar) and Lakshma 
                    Reddy (Kota Srinivasa Rao). 
                   
                    Suresh plays Raghava, a young man with a violent background 
                    but who wishes to change. The film opens with Raghava praying 
                    for 'Vijayam', which obviously include the 'Vijayam', which 
                    of this film. He wants to marry a girl named Anjali (Rajashri), 
                    a close relative and his childhood friend. He comes to this 
                    city to pursue a peaceful vacation. But the local goondas, 
                    headed by S.P. Yadav, try to provoke him but are beaten back. 
                    The letters S and P stand for 'settlement' and 'punishment' 
                    which is Yadav's vocation. Anjali detests Raghava's violent 
                    naure. Undaunted, Raghava applies other methods to win her 
                    heart - like standing in rain before her house. The narration 
                    suddenly slips into flashback where somebody suggests to Raghava 
                    to apply violent methods to win Anjali.  
                   
                    This part has nothing much to relate but for showing a bit 
                    of family scenes. Raghava's maternal uncle (Chalapati Rao) 
                    refuses to give his daughter Anjali tohim in marriage. When 
                    their opponent Lakshma Reddy (Kota Srinivasa Rao) asks his 
                    son Raghava to behead Lakshma Reddy. But Raghava satisfies 
                    himself by just humiliating the enemy. Raghava's childhood 
                    friend Anajali arrives along with her parents. When the question 
                    of their marriage arises, his uncle refuses to give his daughter 
                    stating that his legs in faction wars. Veerareddy lost his 
                    wife and his legs in faction wars. Veera Reddy then dies of 
                    a stroke. Raghava's sister Lalitha insists that Raghava should 
                    marry Anjali in order to bring the families together. Rest 
                    of the drama moves in the direction. 
                   
                    Suresh and Rajashri in the lead roles occupy most part of 
                    the first half. Strnangely Raghava behaves like an innocent, 
                    but there are fights that involve him, which are anything 
                    but innocent. The character artistes have nothing much to 
                    do in the film. Music and photography are average.
