Plot

Kanchana and Ganga are friends. Kanchana wants to become a lawyer. Ganga always dreams of wealth. Kanchana is in love with Prabhakar. Kanchana discovers that Jayasimha is a murderer and sentenced to jail for two years. She starts hating Jayasimha. Ganga goes to Kanchana's home leaving her parents as they are trying to marry her off to a person who was already married. Kanchana's paternal uncle, Prabhakar's father and aunt Annapurnamma accept Prabhakar and Kanchana's marriage. Annapurnamma calls Kanchana to introduce him to her relatives. Kanchana and Ganga visit her home. There, Annapurnamma shows off her jewellery to Kanchana and Ganga and also tells them about other property details.

Knowing Prabhakar's property details, Ganga wants to marry him. She molests him and tells him that she loves him. She asks him to kiss her once and tells him she will go away. Prabhakar does so and Jayasimha sees them. He tells the same to Kanchana and her paternal uncle who do not believe him. Prabhakar visits Kanchana's home where they start moving closely. Kanchana returns home and sees them. Prabhakar silently leaves for his home. Ganga tells Kanchana that Prabhakar actually loved her and goes away.

Ganga calls Prabhakar and tells that Kanchana asked her to leave and she is going to the railway station. Prabhakar stops her and they go to a hotel. Where in they make love, marry the next day and go to Prabhakar's home. Prabhakar's father and aunt scold them as they understood that Ganga married Prabhakar only to become rich. Prabhakar's father tells her that his cousin Annapurnamma is the owner of all the properties and asks them to leave.

Hearing the news of Prabhakar and Ganga's marriage, Kanchana's paternal uncle dies and Kanchana moves to a hostel. Prabhakar meets Mohan who was senior to him. Meanwhile Mohan sets his eyes on Ganga and gives Prabhakar a job and a house. Kanchana goes to Mohan's office for interview. Prabhakar tells her that he will recommend her for the job, but she leaves. Mohan sends Prabhakar to his branches in northern India to look into the accounts of his business and often visits Ganga in his absence and tries to molest her. Though reluctant at first, Ganga later makes love with Mohan.

Jayasimha becomes an auto-rickshaw driver and tries to help Kanchana, but she rejects his help. When she is teased by rowdies, Jayasimha fights them and saves her. Jayasimha and the rowdies get arrested by police. Kanchana bails him out and they go to his home. She does first aid to him and stays there for the night. Meanwhile her hostel warden denies her entry as she styed overnight at an unknown man's house. Helpless, Kanchana goes to Jayasimha's house. He sells his auto-rickshaw and buys a taxi. Kanchana studies law with Jayasimha's help. She asks him to marry her, they marry and she becomes a lawyer. Jayasimha tells Kanchana that he is a post graduate and gold medalist and was falsely accused of murder.
