Plot
[edit]The film begins with Ramu, a high-mind illiterate who runs a small-scale business. The people in the colony idolize him apart from a local goon, Gangulu. Subbulu, a naughty girl therein, endears him. Ramu rears & civilizes his cousin Vani and aspires to knit her. Incognizant of it, Vani loves Ravi, the son of a Zamindar Janaki Ramayya. Indeed, Janaki Ramayya has two sons; the elder one, Raghu, is docile and the progeny of his first. Ravi is prodigal due to the pampering of his mother, Kanaka Durga. Besides, Kondala Rao, a clerk, aims to crave his daughter Sridevi, an advocate for which he strives and succeeds.
Meanwhile, Janaki Ramayya empowers the entire proprietary to Raghu, which begrudges Kanaka Durga. Parallelly, Kondala Rao approaches Raghu on Sridevi's alliance when Raghu denounces the integrity of the scholarly women. Whereat enraged Kondala Rao revolts against Raghu. Exploiting it, Kanaka Durga slays Raghu via Gangulu and incriminates Kondala Rao. Sridevi defends the case when overwhelmed Kondala Rao passes away. Soon after, Sridevi realizes Subbulu is her cousin, so she reaches her but hides her discipline and behaves like an ignorant. After a while, Vani affirms her choice of Ravi when Ramu espouses them, giving up his love. Later, Ramu splices Sridevi and gets her identity when he makes her a good practitioner. Eventually, a fissure arises in Ravi & Vani's marital life. As a result, she quits, and Ramu & Sridevi reform her. Simultaneously, Ravi battles with Janaki Ramayya for his share. The same night, Gangulu slaughters him and indicts Ravi. Sridevi picks up the case, and Ramu digs out the reality. In that process, Subbulu sacrifices her life while guarding Ramu. At last, Ravi acquits non-guilty. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note.
