The film begins with Prasad, a sincere police officer, who lives with his ideal wife, Prabha, two sons, Bhanu & Raja, and a deaf & dumb daughter, Suhasini. The couple sacrifices their basic needs to provide a better life for their progeny. As time passes, Prasad knits them with their love interests: Raja with Geeta, Bhanu with Julie, and Suhasini with Narayana Rao, with the same disability who is the son of minted Madhusudhan Rao. Parallelly, as a glimpse, Avataram Prasad's bestie perturbs his family, Sahastrakoti Suryaprabha & 3 sons, with his misery, who also forges his father's death. Meanwhile, Prasad seizes Madhusudhan Rao’s dark shade despite his menacing. Wheraat, his elder, Eeswar, is knocked out in a police encounter. Prasad's leg was also amputated in cross-firing and compulsorily retired. Now, he depends on children, but they abandon him, and her in-laws expel Suhasini. Things get worse as Prasad is submerged in debt and seeks aid from his kids. Here, the ungrateful children want to split with their parents. Then, enraged, Prasad boots them and decides to start a new life. During that plight, Prasad rescues a richer Satyanarayana who invests in Prasad. Soon, with his hardship, Prasad becomes a tycoon. Besides, Avataram's children detect their grandfather and teach a lesson to their father. Following this, Prasad revives Suhasini's marital life when his sons try to patch with him for the wealth, but in vain. As a last attempt, they play a suicide drama. Knowing it, Prabha rushes, whom Prasad bars, gazing at them when she chucks with him. Later, she is conscious of actuality and detests them. She backs up when distressed Prasad quits as a distant nomad, entrusting totality to her. At last, Prabha accompanies him when Avataram reforms their children, who arrive and plead pardon. Finally, the movie ends with Prasad & Prabha continuing their journey, affirming the children that they should return to self-reliance.
