The story follows the rise of Radha, also known as “Bustand Radha,” who forges an alliance with the Communist Party of India and quickly embeds himself within the local power structure, working alongside Vijayawada’s party secretary Venkata Rathnam. As the years pass, a grinding power struggle unfolds over control of the crucial Vijayawada transport network, a resource that both sides crave and weaponize to expand their influence.
