Daaku Maharaaj Story

Krishnamurthy was living a peaceful life with his granddaughter Vaishnavi. But when he complained about the wrongdoings happening on his land, the local leader Trimurtulu and his brother Manohar started threatening him.

Meanwhile, a dacoit Sitaram alias Daaku Maharaj comes to their house as a driver. He starts living with them to save Vaishnavi. Later, he hands Manohar over to the police.

Sitaram was an honest engineer. He dreamed of building a dam in his village, which would provide water to everyone. But Balwant Singh Thakur and his family oppressed the villagers and massacred them. In anger, Sitaram picked up the gun and became “Daaku Maharaj”. He took revenge on the oppressors and exposed their illegal business.

When Balwant comes to kill Maharaj in the hospital, Maharaj survives and kills him in a fight. After a few years, Maharaj comes out of jail and meets his family. He inaugurates a dam named after Nandini (his wife), which becomes a major source of water for the villagers.
