Doddmane Hudga 2016

Surya is a short-tempered youngster who earns his living by cooking biriyani at a busy local market. One day he steps in to save Usha from a gang of goons and drops her at a drama studio, where it’s revealed that she is actually Nisha, participating in a drama.

Cable Babu is a menacing goon who aspires to enter politics. When his henchmen set a shop on fire, they are thoroughly thrashed by Doddmane Rajeeva.

When his son Krishna robs jewelry, Rajeeva humiliates him, and Krishna later teams up with Babu to humiliate Rajeeva. Krishna joins Babu in his scheme, escalating the clashes with Rajeeva, who is drawn deeper into the confrontation with the goons’ circle and their plots over land.

Babu steals the farmers’ land documents, triggering Rajeeva’s arrest and catalyzing a broader disruption in the village.

Meanwhile, Surya’s father Mallanna suffers a stroke and is admitted to hospital. In a bid to gather money to save Mallanna, Surya accepts a dangerous assignment: assassination of Rajeeva, and ends up in prison to carry it out. Yet fate twists him into a rescue—fighting a fellow prisoner who was about to kill Rajeeva, and it’s revealed that Surya is Rajeeva’s long-lost son. Surya, however, harbors resentment and reveals to Nisha that his father did not care for him in his childhood.

With time, Surya begins to reconcile with the rest of his family and returns home. After a cat-and-mouse game between Surya and Babu, Krishna apologizes for his misdeeds and Babu’s brother Manja is killed. Rajeeva explains that his distant behavior stemmed from a promise to always care for Krishna, a vow that had kept him from truly connecting with Surya.

The conflict reaches a tense climax when Cable Babu stabs Rajeeva, and Surya defeats Babu, tossing him into a tunnel where Babu’s assistant buries him alive. In the aftermath, Surya brings back the farmers’ documents and Rajeeva distributes them to the farmers, who realize their mistake and apologize. The families reconcile, and the village festival is celebrated with relief and renewed hope.
