Plot
The film begins with Chandu, an employee at Dharma Group of Industries, who lives with his wife Katyayani's family in Hyderabad. As it happens, Katyayani is working in Delhi. An aspiring actress, Indu befriends Chandu. She is in a quandary due to gangsters who are hunting her brother. She is abducted when Chandu confronts them and conflicts with Minister Goverdhan Rao and a wicked cop, Prabhakar. At the same time, Babji, his co-employee, heists the company for his daughter's weddings, and Chandu incriminates himself. The attention of company Chairman Rajashekar Dharma is thrust upon him when his father-in-law Lakshmi Narayana seeks the truth. The true identity of Chandu is surprisingly revealed as Chandrashekar Dharma, The Dictator, and chairman of the Dharma group of companies.
Chandrasekhar Dharma is a big tycoon in India who fights against the mafia and businessmen in Delhi. He gets acquainted with Katyayani, an employee in his company, and falls for her. Since Lakshmi Narayana is against society's elite, she introduces him as her colleague, and they get along. After some time, Chandrasekhar battles a tyrant woman, Mahima Roy, for murdering his fatherly figure, Hari Prasad, with her malicious son-in-law, Viswambhar. Mahima kidnaps Chandrasekhar's family and demands he fall at her feet. Now, Mahima receives multiple calls from her relatives worldwide, affirming that Chandrashekar has taken them into his custody. Later, Chandrasekhar eliminates Viswambhar when Mahima sends him again. In the altercation, Katyayani is stabbed. At that point, Chandrasekhar leaves Delhi at the request of Katyayani, changing his identity.
Chandrasekhar is conscious that Viswambhar is still alive because of the betrayal of his men, so he returns to Delhi. One of Chandrasekhar's family members, Sivaram, backstabs and informs Viswambhar that Chandrasekhar will conduct necessary rites for the dead Hari Prasad. Knowing it, Viswambhar decides to knock him out and goes after Chandrasekhar. Sivaram then takes the side of Chandrasekhar, claiming it is a trap for Viswambhar. At last, Chandrasekhar slays Viswambhar and behests Mahima to leave the country. Ultimately, Chandrasekhar returns as Chandrasekhar Dharma, The Dictator.
