The opening scene of a murder in broad daylight, which the narrator calls "rakta politics", sets the tone of the movie. Narasimha Reddy, a local politician, is a powerful man in the area. His close associate Veera Bhadra (Rajendra Gupta) is his trustwothy ally for his political work, to the extent that Narasimha Reddy gives him freedom to contest Jilla Parishad polls with his men. Veera Bhadra champions the causes of the poor and oppressed and they look up to him like their leader.

Classified as an intense action drama, Rakta Charitra tells the story of Paritala Ravi, the politician from Andhra Pradesh who indulges in extreme action to fight against his rivals and is in the end put to death by the same rivals. Portrayed onscreen by actor Vivek Oberoi, Paritala Ravi is the very embodiment of the trademark Indian politician who can adopt the most violent means to fight against his his rivals in the political field. While the film released amid much fanfare, critics were quick to slam it as repetitive and too noisy!
