Plot

The film begins in Venkannapalem, where Rambabu, a typical village bloke, is the son of a weaver, Veerabhadrayah. He spends most of his time with his gang from different age groups. Kaveri is Nagendra's sister and head of the adjacent village, Sakhinetipally. Nagendra is the coach of the Sakhinetipally Kabaddi team, which has won 99 matches continuously all over the state. Rambabu crushes Kaveri at first sight, and after a while, she responds. Nagendra objects to it as Rambabu is wayward. In the clash, Rambabu challenges the Sakhinetipally Kabaddi team to defeat the Sakhinetipally and asks for Kaveri's hand-in bonus. Nagendra agrees to it. Now, Rambabu is gathering his team. He requires 11 members to play, but no one comes to his aid. So, he makes up his team with the help of his friends Bosu, Seenu, Appa Rao, President, Krishna Rao, and Sastry, respectively. After strenuous training, D-day arrives. The rest of the story is about Rambabu & his team triumphing in the finale and gaining his fiancée.

Reception
