Plot summary
At a co-educational college in Hyderabad, the Arts and Science streams are locked in a rivalry that spills into brawls over student union dominance. Shashank heads the Arts faction and Prudhvi the Science one. Rugby is the passion both groups share, and their campus disputes usually end in a scrum on the field. Indu, a new arrival, is caught up in the friction between them. Then Bhikshu Yadav, a mafia don with political power, takes over the deeds to the college land and plans to tear the campus down for a commercial complex. The management cannot stop him, and the students face eviction. Prudhvi and Shashank agree to a truce, uniting their factions, and Yadav answers with a dare: an official rugby match, with the land deeds as the stake.
