Plot

[edit]

Zamindar Parvatamma has two sons, Venu Gopal & Nanda Gopal. Though the elder, Nanda Gopal, is a foster, she is fair and calls the two Gopal. Venu loves a girl named Seeta. Before he reveals it to the elders, Nandu becomes acquainted with her and starts liking her. Upon learning this, Parvatamma arranges a marriage proposal for Nandu, which Seeta accepts with confusion of names. Initially shocked, Venu gathers himself and reconciles the situation, convincing her to go through with the marriage. Soon after, Nandu is mindful of their prior familiarity when sly Manager Basavaiah provokes his suspension, which makes Venu quit. Midway, he shields a girl, Radha, Zamindar Ranganatham's daughter, from suicide, being pregnant before wedlock. Thus, Venu pretends to her husband for the legitimacy of the child, Venu. Besides, Nandu goes into the clutches of a malicious Giri, who addicts him to vices. Time passes, Seeta & Radha give birth to babies, and Parvatamma passes away. Eventually, Venu ameliorates the lifestyles of the destitute when everyone in that area adores him. Here, Giri keeps an evil eye on Seeta; out of humiliation, she exits and fortunately reaches Venu. Parallelly, Giri & Basavaiah swindle Nandu and necks him out. Next, Giri shows his presence at Radha's residence, who deceived her. Whereat, he spots Seeta and tries to molest her when destiny makes Nandu land therein and rescues her. Radha seeks to slay Giri when Venu shields him. At last, Giri reforms plead pardon and accepts Radha. Finally, the movie ends with Venu dedicating his life to the public's welfare.
