Kattula Katamarayudu is a brave person living in a village called Oddaanchatram. He lives with his four brothers. The elder brother loves the younger ones to the core and sacrifices his happiness for their good. They are often caught in fights and are proud of it. Advocate Bail Lingam bails them out whenever legal issues arise because of their brawls. Katamarayudu hates the idea of marriage as he feels that his wife might create disharmony among brothers. Though the four younger brothers say that they do not want to either fall in love or get married, when Kattula Katamarayudu is not around, they all have their secret lovers. Now, in order to get the green light for their love stories, they learn through his brother's childhood friend Collector that Kattula Katamarayudu, in school, was in love with a girl named Avantika, and his brothers hatch a plan to find her and reintroduce her to Kattula Katamarayudu so that he can fall for her all over again. However, she is married now and has kids, so the brothers conspire to do the most logical thing, which is to find another woman named Avantika because Kattula Katamarayudu was not in love with that girl so much as her name, and when he meets another girl with that name, he is sure to lose his heart to her just because she bears that name. Though initially reluctant, later Kattula Katamarayudu himself falls in love with her. He clashes with a businessman called Radia to take care ofthe market in the village. Radia tries to kill Kattula Katamarayudu's brothers, while Kattula Katamarayudu kidnaps Radia's son Juttu Ranga. After clashing, Kattula Katamarayudu orders Radia to leave the village. While travelling in the train to Avantika's village, Avantika narrates her family background to Kattula Katamarayudu. Avanthika's father Bhupathi is a respected man in the village who hates violence, while his son is the exact opposite who kills people, but when he is killed, Bhupathi refuses to bury his body and decides to make his village with peace and harmony. A few goons enter into the train, but Kattula Katamarayudu bashes all the rowdies. Avantika is shocked to see Kattula Katamarayudu, whom she thought was a nonviolent person. Kattula Katamarayudu and his brothers arrive at Avantika's village with clean shaven looks. He says that he has changed and would never harbor violence, and he and his brothers are welcomed and respected by her family. Bhupathi is touched and impressed by their love, affection, and hospitality. Kattula Katamarayudu comes to know that an illegal goon named Yelasari Bhanu wants to kill Bhupathi and his family. The reason is revealed through a flashback that Yelasari Bhanu's father is responsible for the blast of a matchstick factory. Bhupathi complains against Yelasari Bhanu's father and is arrested, and the father commits suicide by getting hit by a lorry. Yelasari Bhanu swears revenge against Bhupathi. Kattula Katamarayudu finishes all the goons and solves all their problems without the knowledge of Bhupathi and the family. When Bhupathi's granddaughter finds a sickle under Kattula Katamarayudu's jeep, Bhupathi orders Kattula Katamarayudu to go out of town. Yelasari Bhanu, who escapes from the death sentence, arrives to kill Bhupathi, but Kattula Katamarayudu keeps him and his family in a safe place. Yelasari Bhanu informs Kattula Katamarayudu that he had kidnapped one of his brothers, Sivarayudu. Kattula Katamarayudu arrives at the nick of time and saves his brother but instead gets attacked by Yelasari Bhanu. Bhupathi and his family, who arrive at the place, come to know about the risk taken by Kattula Katamarayudu to save him from the mess. A brutally attacked Kattula Katamarayudu rises steadily and kills Yelasari Bhanu and his henchmen. Bhupathi, who is impressed with Kattula Katamarayudu's valour, decided to give his hand to his daughter Avantika. The film ends with the marriage of Kattula Katamarayudu and his brothers.

The film began its shoot on 24 September in Secunderabad.
Soundtrack
The music was composed by Anup Rubens and released by Aditya Music.
Reception
Great Andhra in its review called the music as a total letdown and one of the most disappointing works of Anup and probably one of the weak albums in Pawan Kalyam’s career, if not the weakest. However, Karthik from Milliblog found it "a simple, likeable commercial album by Anup."
