The movie starts with Devika documenting illegal mining in Bellary by Reddappa, a ruthless business tycoon. Reddappa burns down a village so that the people leave, because under it is a large iron ore deposit, which he wants to mine. The villagers, especially Matti Raju, wants to kill Reddappa to take revenge. It is later revealed that Devika is not a journalist but an informer of the CBI.
