Vamshi is a trainee in a police academy, who often gets angry in any circumstance. Even for minor causes which makes him land into trouble. Once after training, while he is about to be transferred to Bangalore for posting, Vamshi's anger and past make him lose his interview. His past reveals that he is the son of a Kotnal Ramanna, a former crime boss/gangster, who was recently murdered by the other group led by a rival gangster Jayachandra. Vamshi's anger and the link of his father and politicians with Jayachandra ends Vamshi's police interview being botched.

Dejected, Vamshi is forced to join his father's team as its new leader, and is helped by another politician to kill Jayachandra and other enemies of Kotnal Ramanna. While doing so, he drifts away from his mother and his friend Sharadha aka Sharu, which he realizes about their importance, love and affection. Finally, he changes back to the normal life, whereas his own team and the politician who helped Vamshi in his initial years as a gangster turn against him, because they want Vamshi to continue to be in the syndicate business. A fight ensues between the group and Vamshi, in which Vamshi finally kills the gang. Finally, Vamshi takes up the job as a teacher, and he, Sharu and his mother live happily ever after.

Reception

Rediff wrote, "Vamshi is a different film for director Prakash and actor Puneet Raj Kumar. However, despite Prakash's emotionally-charged narration the story of this Kannada flick lacks credibility".[6] However, the film was declared as a super hit at the box-office . It completed 100 days in more than 12 centers across the state. The movie was dubbed in Malayalam.[7]
