Plot

[edit]

Vijay, a tycoon, doted on his sibling Lakshmi and reared her under the light of love. Murali is an upright taxi driver and the breadwinner of his family, containing his greedy mother Kantamma, sister Kanakam, & loaf brother-in-law Tata Rao. Meanwhile, Dharma Rao, the sly manager of Vijay ploys, usurps his wealth by knitting his vagabond son Manmadha Rao with Lakshmi. Once, Manmadha Rao inflicts Lakshmi when Murali secures her and endears him. Vijay crushes on a beauty, Padma, a millionaire Lakshmipati's daughter. Vijay fixes a prosperous alliance with his sister, but conscious of her love affair, he settles the match with Murali. Just before Manmadha Rao attempts to splice Lakshmi forcibly, Vijay arrives, sentences him with his father, and grandly performs the nuptial. Nevertheless, Murali continues in his simple world, and Lakshmi proceeds to her in-laws' house and faces asperity by harridan Kantamma. Vijay discerns it and bestows half of his property to Murali. Meanwhile, the blackguards release whose ruse bankrupts Vijay. Whereat, Lakshmipati detaches him from Padma by the fallacy that she desists him, and figuring it, Padma quits the house. Thus, Vijay lands at Lakshmi but goes on further as mortified by Kantamma. Being aware of it, Murali rushes to retrieve Vijay when they are clutched to the dark outfit of Dharma Rao & Manmadha Rao and indicted in a murder conviction. Here, Murali is penalized, and Vijay is declared dead in the encounter. Following, Manmadha Rao evilly schemes Tata Rao and throws him into debt when Kantamma pesters Lakshmi to endorse her property, which she denies. During that, Kantamma's idiosyncrasy made Lakshmi blind. Moreover, she has been maltreated, and Manmadha Rao tries to molest her. She absconds and is guarded by Vijay, who escaped from death. Now, he aims to regain his sister's vision and sets out, meets Padma, learns the fact, and entrusts Lakshmi to her. At last, Vijay proves non-guilty, acquits Murali, and ceases baddies. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Vijay & Padma.
