Abhiram is a brilliant young man who could have gone abroad but chooses the civil service instead. Posted as district collector in his home region, he discovers that a vast freshwater lake has been illegally encroached and polluted by fish farms run by people close to Visakha Vani, the formidable leader of the ruling party. His attempts to enforce the law bring him into conflict not only with her but also with his own father, a government officer who has learned to live with corruption. Republic is a Telugu political drama written and directed by Deva Katta, known for Prasthanam, and is driven more by argument than by action. Ramya Krishnan, Sivagami of Baahubali, plays the politician, and the backdrop draws on real controversies over Kolleru Lake in Andhra Pradesh. Sai Dharam Tej gives one of his most serious performances.
