Meanwhile, Ramesh encounters a problem with the lands of a friend and Bangarraju helps him and fights off ruthless henchmen. The henchmen come back and try to kill Bangarraju at a pooja in the temple, and due to this, Naga Lakshmi reacts violently and slaps Bangarraju. It is then found out that Bangarraju's cousin Aadi has been planning to get Bangarraju killed because they know that Bangarraju's family has been protecting a temple that has rare stones at the bottom of it and to get the stones, they need to kill the family.

Meanwhile, Bangarraju tries to get Naga Lakshmi to like Bangarraju, which she does. In a turn of events, it is revealed that Aadi's father Sampath was still alive and that he has been also seeking vengeance against the family for killing his father and grandfather. At the same time, Bangarraju successfully gets Bangarraju and Naga Lakshmi to love each other. Sampath, on the other hand, knows that Bangarraju's soul is the one that killed his father and grandfather and that the soul is back now also for Bangarraju and tells Aadi about it. With this, Sampath plans to get a ring that will be placed on Bangarraju's hand during his engagement which will stop Bangarraju soul from entering his body. It is then found out that Ramesh was also in on this plan all along, and that he also wants Bangarraju to be killed for the stones and the potential marriage to his daughter to Aadi.

Knowing all of this, Bangarraju and Satyabhama try various ways to stop Bangarraju from being killed, but he ultimately ends up being kidnapped by Aadi and is brought to Sampath and Ramesh to be killed. When Bangarraju is on the verge of being killed, the divine snake from the earlier film falls on Ramu's car, and Bangarraju, sensing this, jumps into Ramu's body to fight Sampath, Ramesh, and Aadi. Bangarraju regains consciousness, and the ring is removed from his hand, allowing Bangarraju to also enter his body. After both Bangarraju and Ramu kill Sampath and Aadi, they plan to kill Ramesh also but stop due to them seeing Naga Lakshmi, and they decide not to tell her the truth. Bangarraju and Naga Lakshmi both get married, and at a pooja alter, Yamraj and Devraj Indra impose a barrier that allows Bangarraju and Ramu to see and touch Bangarraju and Satyabhama. Bangarraju sees Satyabhama and talks about how he lived with sadness after her death and he begs her not to leave him again.

Meanwhile, Ramu says that him seeing Bangarraju for the first time gives him a sense of braveness to which Bangarraju replies saying that Ramu needs to be a better father to Bangarraju and that he should not neglect his son due to Ramu constantly focusing on his work.

Reception

Critical reception

Bangarraju received mixed reviews from critics. Writing for Cinema Express, Murali Krishna CH called it a "perfect follow-up for its predecessor, Soggade Chinni Nayana." "The film is peppered with hilarious one-liners, and Kalyan Krishna perfectly captures the portrait and vibe of a coastal village, complete with characters that are rooted in the setting," he added. Anji Shetty of Sakshi stated that Nagarjuna and Chaitanya's performance is the core strength of the film with a particular praise for the climax sequence.

The Times of India critic Neeshita Nyapati opined that Bangarraju was an "old wine in a new bottle," and had nothing fresh to offer. On the technical aspects, she wrote: "Anup Rubens' music is fun and fits well into the story. Cinematographer Yuvaraj also pulls off the visuals well. The weak VFX however is a let-down and doesn't let you immerse well into the story." Calling Bangarraju a "passable festive entertainer," Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu felt that the sequel banked heavily on Nagarjuna and Chaitanya but barely skimmed the surface of the supernatural revenge family drama story. The Indian Express' critic Manoj Kumar R criticized the film and pointed out over-sexualisation, unoriginality, lack of common sense and basic respect for logical thinking and honest storytelling as its problems.
