On election day, Kencha thrashes Jaleel when he threatens everyone to vote for Krishnappa and also had harassed Priya. Munna Bhai finds out and creates a ruckus at Kencha's house, making Kencha to withdraw a complaint. Kencha decides to start an eatery business with his friends, where his parents are happy about his decision and extend their support.
The eatery business seems to be working out well until Jaleel and his men start visiting their stall. Jaleel and his drunken men continuously visit the stall and abuse Gilli. Kencha tells him to not get involved in any argument with them. One night, Jaleel beats up Gilli badly, where Kencha accidentally kills Jaleel and goes into hiding with his friends. An angered Munna Bhai barges into Kencha's house where he kills Seetharam, Janaki and Anitha. Enraged, Kencha goes to Munna Bhai's liquor factory and a fight erupts where Kencha is stabbed by Munna Bhai and SI Karunakar, where he is thrown in a lake.
Gilli, Prakash, Raju and Priya find Kencha and get him treated at Arya Vaidya Sala. Kencha survives and plans to eliminate the terror of Munna Bhai, where he along with his friends kills Karunakar and Krishnappa, whose death is witnessed by the police commissioner. Kencha and his friends goes to Munna Bhai's liquor factory and kills the henchmen. Kencha chases Munna Bhai and brutally kills him, thus ending his terror and avenging his family's death.

Reception


Indiaglitz wrote "Director Om Prakash Rao has a formula for making a commercial film. Rather than working hard on a story and a script, he lifts some sequences from here and there and makes a hotchpotch with a loose script and a thin story. Kalasipalya is one such film." Sify wrote "Darshan performance is nothing much to write about as he has repeated what he had done so far. Rakshita is wasted in an insipid role while the rest of the cast are just ok. Songs are very average and on the whole the film is disappointing".
