This Telugu drama traces the decades-long struggle for a separate Telangana state, framed through one family's multi-generational involvement in the movement. After the death of an early activist, his widow continues social work while their son gradually becomes drawn into the cause, clashing with opportunistic politicians and facing complications in his relationship with a woman from the Seemandhra region. The narrative weaves real historical episodes, including student protests at Osmania University and instances of police violence and self-sacrifice by activists, into this fictionalized family story.
