After the death of his wife Parvati, the Zamindar is mentally disturbed, sticks to his room talking to his wife’s portrait, lives in another world and he is taken care by an honest servant Ranganna (Perumallu). Both the children grow on their own. Bhaskar is an artist who dreams for his future and he wants to marry a beautiful educated lady like his portraits and challenges before everyone that he will do so. The Zamindar’s brother-in-law Dasaradharamaiah (Ramana Reddy) a crook, stays with them along with his family and waits for an opportunity to grab the property. The Zamindar decides to make Bhaskar's marriage, but he has an ambition that his daughter-in-law must be beautiful and resemble his wife.

Meanwhile, in the same town, there lives a small grocery vendor Simhadri (Allu Ramalingaiah) who has two sisters, the elder one Kalyani (Savitri) is dark complexioned and uneducated, due to which she does not get married, which is a problem to him. The second one is Malathi (Jamuna), a beautiful girl studying in the same college of Chandram. Dasaradaramaiah comes to know about this. He plots a crooked plan showing Malathi to Bhaskar and fixes his marriage with Kalyani. Zamindar doesn’t attend the marriage due to ill health. During the time of marriage, they notice a change in the bride, everyone starts blaming Kalyani and abuses Bhaskar. Bhaskar could not tolerate and to protect her honor he marries her. Knowing this, the Zamindar becomes angry, moreover, Dasaradaramiah double crosses and speaks ill about Bhaskar. So, he does not allow them into the house but on request of Ranganna, he allows them. Initially, the Zamindar and Bhaskar are reluctant towards Kalyani, but with her good behavior she steals their hearts and they accept her. She also takes care of Chandram with motherly affection and he also feels the same. Eventually, Chandram and Malati fall in love. Kalyani becomes pregnant, at the same time, Bhaskar comes to know that Kalyani is not educated, due to which he gets insulted among his friends and he scolds her. In that argument, Kalyani loses her pregnancy. After that, Bhaskar leaves for a painting competition for Delhi. Kalyani strongly decides to study, she requests Chandram to teach her at night after completing household works in his room so that nobody sees and heckles her. Taking this as an advantage, Dasaradaramaiah attributes an illegal relation between Chandram and Kalyani and makes the Zamindar also to suspect them. The Zamindar throws them out of the house.

In Delhi, Bhaskar loses the competition as his painting has only beauty, but no life. When he comes out he meets his friend Mohan (Jaggayya) who is in a drunken state because his beautiful wife ditched him. Knowing about his life, Bhaskar understands that virtue is greater than beauty. When Bhaskar reaches home he comes to know regarding the bad situation but he doesn’t believe it, he brings back Kalyani and Chandram also argues with his father and all of them leave the house. Due to this, the Zamindar becomes sicker and the Doctor advised him to take rest. Dasaradaramaiah decides to use this situation, he prepares documents of the property in his name and forces the Zamindar to sign. When he is about to sign, Kalyani arrives and takes away the papers. He reads it in front of everyone and breaks up Dasaradaramaiah’s intentions. Then the Zamindar comes to know that Chandram has really taught her and understands the noble character of Kalyani.
