Plot
Bharat Ram (Mahesh Babu), a brilliant but uncertain student with an unquenchable thrist for knowledge, graduates with his 5th degree from Oxford. At his uncle's (Saakshi Sivaa) house, Bharat comes to learn that his father, Chief Minister of (at the time undivided) Andhra Pradesh Raghava Raju (R. Sarathkumar), was hospitalised and died from a stroke. On a flight to his familial home in Hyderabad, Bharat reminisces about his past.
As a child, Bharat is scolded by his mother (Aamani) for eating ice cream against medical advice, and he promises her he won't eat it again. Raghava Raju, busy with a new political party (the Navodayam Party) that he and his friend Varadarajulu (Prakash Raj) formed, is shown to be too busy to spend time with his family. After Bharat is found to have eaten ice cream again, his mother reminds him on the importance of promises. The very next day, Bharat finds that she has died in her sleep, causing his father to stay at home to take care of Bharat. Soon after her death, Varadarajulu points out to Raghava Raju that he has to get back outside to prepare for the coming elections and suggests that he remarry to find a new mother for Bharat. However, Bharat is not close to his stepmother (Sithara) and instead spends time at his friend Subash's house. After Subash's parents get jobs in London, Bharat wants to come with them. At first his father hesitates, but soon agrees to let them study together.
Back in the present, Bharat is greeted by an onslaught of camera flashes as he comes back to his familial home. Soon after arriving, he meets with Varadarajulu, where he learns that his father, an asthmatic, had to go to the hospital due to the cold weather taking a toll on him, and that the final rituals were conducted early by his younger brother Siddharth (seen earlier as a baby in his childhood), as the news of his death caused chaos in the party and the people. Speculation abounds over who the next CM will be; meanwhile, Bharat talks to Siddharth, who he later learns has been mute for many days.
The next day, Bharat drives the car for a casual ride and experiences the rampant lawlessness and noise on the streets as people drive recklessly and honk horns. Meanwhile, the party meets to decide the next CM.
He becomes the Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh under Varadarajulu's insistence. New to India and with no political knowledge, he learns the ropes quickly and governs efficiently whilst trying to abolish corruption. However, while he endears himself to the crowd, he makes enemies out of the political class, including his own party members who create trouble for him and try to stop him from bringing changes to the society.
How he tackles them and removes corruption from the system forms the rest of the story. Intertwined is a love story of Bharat and Vasumathi (Kiara Advani), an MBA graduate who sets out to help him in his purpose.
