Plot

The film begins with a family that lives festively, Balakotaiah and Manikyamma, a couple with four daughters: Sarada, Neela, Madhavi, and Jhansi. Jagam is an orphan nurtured by Manikyamma and serves as a valet. From childhood, he loved Neela as Manikyamma betrothed him. Sarada is subjected to domestic violence by her spouse, Inspector Krishna Rao, and even goes into a miscarriage. Thus, Manikyamma gets her back as a brash lady and sentences her son-in-law. Chakarvathy Neela's collegian rags her as payback, and Manikyamma slaps him in front of all. Parallelly, Madhavi loves a cool guy, Prabhakar, and their elders accept it. As well as Neela's alliance is also fixed with a well-educated guy, which is difficult for Jagam. Exploiting it, Chakarvathy arouses Jagam, who muddles at the venue, which calls off the weddings. After some time, Jagam silently knits Neela in her sleep, and even Prabhakar also wedlocks Madhavi without his parents' consent. Neela discards Jagam and constantly humiliates him, which he bears with patience. Besides, Chakravarthy intrigues along with his friend Kishore and traps Jhansi. Knowing it, Balakotaiah moves to fix the alliance with Jhansi, where Kishore tries to molest Jhansi. In that clash, Balakotaiah slaughters Chakravarthy and goes behind bars. At last, Jagam struggles hard along with the family and acquits Balakotaiah. Consequently, Neela understands her husband's virtue. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note.
