Plot
Vedam Venkata Ashok is an orthodox traditional Brahmin, who works as a priest in a temple. Urmila and Ashok are in love. But Urmila's father Shanmukha Sastry has betrayed Ashok's father Vedam and is trying to seize their whole property, pushing them below the poverty line. Adiseshayya and Shanmukha Sastry had planned together and had declared Ashok a thief and had him sent to jail. After returning from jail, Ashok's father restricted him from entering the house. Ashok has now decided to go to a safe place and earn a lot of money so that he can again hold up his family's pride. In this situation, he comes across Karim Sahab in Bombay and gets involved in illegal and corrupt activities in the city. By doing all this, Ashok becomes Ashoka Chakravarthy and earns money, but will he be able to regain his parents' confidence and their love, for whom he had jumped into such trouble?
