Pandem

Seenu lives in a village, and roams with a gang. Lingaraju has been the unanimously elected president of that village for the past 25 years, and is corrupt and behaves as a dictator to the village. Seeta, from the same village, is an elementary school teacher. Seeta is Seenu's childhood friend and falls in love with her at first sight. Seenu plays a lot of tricks and tactics to gain her love and affection. One day, Seenu learns that Seeta wants to marry someone in a better position than her.

Meanwhile, Lingaraju makes a contract deal with some business people, who want to construct a factory in the village, which is hazardous to the people. Simultaneously, it's time for elections in the town. Lingaraju is overconfident that he will be unopposed. But Seenu decides to stand in the election and become president of the village so that he could reach a superior position to Seeta and could marry her. In the beginning, no one supports him because he is irresponsible, but with Seeta's inspiration he becomes altruistic and wins over the villagers, which Lingaraju could not do these long years. After seeing Seenu's following, Lingaraju hesitates, at the same time he learns his son Rajesh loves Seeta. So he makes a plan and arranges his son's engagement with Seeta, to demoralize Seenu. Even then, Seenu challenges Lingaraju that he would defeat him. The remaining story is how Seenu achieves both of his objectives.
