Plot

Raghava Rao (N. T. Rama Rao) is a self-made man. Lawyer Pratap Rao’s (Mikkilineni) daughter Lalitha (Jamuna) marries Raghava Rao against her father’s wish and they are blessed with two children, Shekar and Lakshmi. Raghava joins as a clerk in Bhupathi’s (Jaggayya) factory and unfolds the mistakes committed by General Manager Satyam (Satyanarayana), brother-in-law of Bhupathi. Knowing his caliber, Bhupathi makes him General Manager. From that day, Satyam has a grudge against Raghava Rao. During an official party, Raghava Rao is compelled to drink. After coming home, Lalitha revolts against it. Raghava swears on her and the children that he will never drink again. Meanwhile, there comes a yearly audition, Satyam with the help of accountant Lingam (Allu Ramalingaiah) and secretary Nalini (Vijaya Bhanu) burns all old documents against them. Chandram, an illiterate village guy is a cousin to Nalini. Chandram loves Nalini a lot but she always denies him because she is in love with Satyam and becomes pregnant. But Satyam throws her out. When she threatens him that she will reveal his secrets, he kills her and throws the murder blame on Raghava Rao. Chandram witnesses it but becomes dumb and Lingam takes a photograph of it to keep Satyam in his grip. Pratap Rao is a public prosecutor who argues against Raghava Rao and makes him get life imprisonment. Lalitha leaves the city with the children and joins in a college as a tutor. Principal Raja Rao (Raavi Kondala Rao) treats her as own sister.

Years roll by, Raghava Rao is released from jail. Shekar and Lakshmi grow big. Bhupathi sends his son Gopi (Chitti Babu) to Raja Rao's college for studies. Raja Rao's daughter Saroja (Jayasudha) loves Shekar and Lakshmi loves Gopi. Raghava Rao joins at Raja Rao’s house as a gardener. Once he sees Lalitha, but decides not to come out until he proves his innocence. Meanwhile, Raghava Rao meets Dara (Prabhakar Rao), who is a cell-mate in jail. Meanwhile, Satyam and Lingam are earning a lot in black market business and Dara is working for them. Knowing this, Bhupati wants to surrender them to police, so, they want to get rid of him. Once Satyam visits Dara's house where Chandram is working as a servant. Satyam recognizes and tries to kill him. Before dying he gets back his voice, reveals the truth to Raghava Rao & Dara that Satyam killed Nalini and some unknown person has taken a photo. As Dara is working with them, Satyam asks Dara to arrange a secret killer. Raghava Rao in disguise comes as Singapore rowdy Bhakra and he creates a drama with the help of Bhupathi that he had murdered him. After that, he starts creating conflicts between Satyam and Lingam and brings out the truth. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the reunion of the entire family.
