Plot
Pardhasaradhi is a justice-seeking ruffian who has been ostracized by his father Raghavaiah from their village. In the city, Pardhasaradhi becomes envious of a gangster JB, and his gang. Meanwhile, a wealthy industrialist, Sivaram Prasad childhood friend of Raghavaiah visits their village. Here, Sivaram proposes a marriage alliance between Raghavaiah's daughter Sumathi and his son Mohan. Pardhasaradhi secretly attends his sister's wedding where a dancer Saroja performs a program. Mohan is attracted to Saroja but rejects him as she is already in love with Pardhasaradhi. When Sumathi steps into her in-law's house, she receives a hard welcome from her mother-in-law Rajyalakshmi and her sisters-in-law, Rekha and Rani. Ganapathi, Pardhasaradhi's childhood friend, arrives in the city. Here he learns that Sivaram Prasad is his maternal uncle and that he was wedded to his cousin Rekha as a child. Now Ganapathi wants to take his wife Rekha back home with him, much to the chagrin of Rekha and her family. Mohan tries to trap Saroja, but she does not yield. Pardhasaradhi learns about Sumathi's trials. So, to protect Saroja and also for the betterment of his sister's life, Pardhasaradhi marries Saroja. Sivaram Prasad suddenly passes away, leaving Sumathi to the mercy of her mother-in-law, who immediately turns her out of the house.
Meanwhile, J.B. and his gang slaughter Saroja's brother-in-law Joga Rao and implicate Pardhasaradhi in the crime. He breaks out of jail when his father seeks his help for his sister.
