Ramabanam

Rajaram runs a restaurant who lives with his wife Bhuvaneshwari, younger brother Vikram “Vicky” and the rest of their family. While Rajaram believes in a peaceful, law-abiding lifestyle, Vicky is rebellious in situations where they face injustice. After a disagreement with a rival restaurateur named Paparao, Vicky burns down Paparao’s house, where Rajaram attempts to force Vicky to surrender to the police. This results in Vicky escaping from his hometown to Kolkata. Years later, Vicky is a renowned gangster in Kolkata under his adoptive father Guptha and falls in love with a girl named Bhairavi, who too reciprocates his feelings. However, Bhairavi’s father refuses to accept the union as he believes Vicky is an orphan. Vicky takes Bhairavi to Hyderabad to meet his family.

Being unaware of Vicky’s status as a gangster and rejoiced at his return after years, the family wholeheartedly accepts the relationship. At this juncture, Vicky discovers that his family is under the threat of GK, a renowned food manufacturer and the son-in-law of Paparao. GK is at loggerheads with Rajaram, who publicly insulted GK Foods and attempted to expose the adulteration practices in the organization. In retaliation, GK orchestrated the poisoning of a batch of food that was donated by Rajaram to an orphanage, rendering the children who consumed it hospitalized and fighting for their lives. Rajaram is under the threat of being imprisoned at any given moment, but had instructed the family to maintain a facade in front of Vicky.

Realizing about the issues, Vicky takes it upon himself to retaliate and slowly starts eliminating the various hurdles posed by GK, including the resumption of Rajaram’s daughter’s wedding which GK had managed to cancel as well as thwarting multiple attacks orchestrated against the family. Rajaram and the rest of the family remain blissfully unaware of Vicky’s actions. Bhairavi’s family arrives in Hyderabad and fixes her engagement with Vicky. Vicky closes in on Bailuraju, who is their family associate and GK’s payroll, who was also responsible for the poisoning of the food consumed by the children. However, GK brings Vicky’s rival Mukherjee to kill Bailuraju. While thwarting Mukherjee’s goons, Vicky is unable to save Bailuraju, who dies despite promising Vicky that he would turn approver.

The fight is witnessed by Rajaram, who discovers Vicky’s true profession. He throws Vicky out of the house and cancels the marriage. On the day of the court hearing, GK has Rajaram and the children from the hospital kidnapped with the intent of rendering Rajaram as a fugitive and killing all of them. Vicky is able to locate Rajaram, but is subdued by GK and his goons. Realizing what Vicky has done for them, Rajaram retaliates and helps Vicky fight off the goons while saving the children. They arrive in court, where the court is made aware of GK’s activities with the help of a scientist who worked in GK’s organization and discovered the immoral methods used by GK to manufacture food as well as a video confession from Bailuraju prior to his death. GK and Paparao are sentenced to prison, while Vicky reunites with his family.
