Mounaraagam [3] is an Indian Telugu language television drama series that aired on Star Maa from 16 September 2018 to 30 January 2021. [4] It stars Priyanka Jain, Shiva Kumar Marihal and Anil Allam in lead roles.
The story is about a mute child named Ammulu, who is rejected by her father Seenaiah and her grandmother Kanthamma as they believed that she brings misfortune. Ammulu's mother Neelaveni raised her separately in a hatch outside their house while her sister Vasantha and her brother Chakri are raised in the house. Seenaiah is a mechanic and he loves his son Chakri a lot, but he never even looks at Ammulu. Although Ammulu cannot speak, she loves drawing and painting. [5]
On the other hand, Nandini is a good-hearted rich CEO who raised her son Ankith and daughter Lucky on her own. Nandini's brother Vishnu is evil and wants to acquire the entire property by marrying off his daughter Sarayu to Ankith. Nandini admires her brother and is unaware of Vishnu and Kalpavalli's intentions. However, Ankith falls in love with Ammulu for her good heart and kind nature. He also realizes that she saved his life in childhood and even offers her a job at his company. Ammulu's best friend Rosie conveys Ammulu's condition and her family situation to Ankith, after which Ankith started caring for her more and eventually Ammulu reciprocated his feelings.
Meanwhile, Ankith's sister Lucky becomes pregnant due to Chakri. Nandini and Seenaiah decide to get them married despite not agreeing with their relationship. Seenaiah eventually realizes bad deeds committed by Chakri and starts distancing himself. Due to this, Chakri along with Vishnu, Sarayu and Kalpavalli hatched multiple plans to create further rifts between Nandini and Seenaiah. Though Nandini initially admired Ammulu for her good deeds, she eventually came to know that she is disabled and dismissed Ankith's marriage proposal with her, as it reminded her of her husband who betrayed and left her. Moreover, Vishnu and Sarayu manipulated Nandini to further hate Ammulu and Seenaiah by creating fake scenarios due to which Nandini thinks that Ammulu is trying to trap Ankith for money like Chakri did with Lucky.
Meanwhile, Ankith's best friend Bharath, who's also the new police officer in their town, starts loving Ammulu. As Chakri and Vasantha's marriages are already completed, Seenaiah fixes Ammulu's marriage with Bharath to get rid of her. However, after Bharath's evil intentions are revealed, the marriage gets cancelled. Also, Kanthamma realizes her mistakes and accepts Ammulu as her granddaughter. Meanwhile both Ankith and Lucky figure out the evil intentions of Vishnu and start warning Nandini, but she refuses to believe them. After some series of events, Ammulu and Ankith get married. After the marriage, Ankith tries to get Seenaiah's approval by leaving his CEO life and leading a simple life working in a mechanic shed. Meanwhile, Vishnu unable to watch his daughter Sarayu's pain, plans to kill Ammulu but unfortunately Ankith dies in that boat accident. [6] Everyone believes Ankith died but Ammulu doesn't accept it. Nandini, who is devastated by Ankith's death, blames Ammulu and her family, due to Vishnu's manipulation.
Eventually Seenaiah finally realises his mistakes after Ammulu saves his life and accepts Ammulu as his daughter by asking her to forgive him. Also Vasantha, who earlier worked to feed information to Sarayu for money, changes after Ammulu solves her marital problem and unites Vasantha with her husband Dhanush. At that time, Anurag, a blind person comes to their village and helps Ammulu to get over Ankith by encouraging her to pursue her dream as an artist and starts a project “Mounaraagam”. Seenaiah also encourages Ammulu to pursue her dream and even fixes her marriage with Anurag. However one day, Ammulu falls unconscious on the road and was found by doctor Sunitha. After performing some tests, Sunitha declares that Ammulu has cancer and she might not live longer. Ammulu asks Sunitha to not tell this to anyone.
After couple of days, Ankith returns alive, much to everyone's surprise. As Ammulu believes she has less time, she distances herself with Ankith by pretending to be close with Anurag and tries to fix Ankith's marriage with his childhood friend Pooja who returned from abroad and has feelings for him. Though Pooja feels happy, she also feels a little guilty. Eventually, both Seenaiah and Ankith discover Ammulu's illness and pretend to act as if everything is normal. Seenaiah finally approves Ankith as his son-in-law and apologizes to Anurag. Anurag reveals that he is Ankith's half-brother as both of them had same father. Anurag sacrifices his love for Ankith and wishes them the best. Ammulu insists Ankith and Pooja to marry and they both unwillingly agree for sake of Ammulu's happiness. Sarayu who also discovered that Ammulu has less time, questions Ammulu as to why she didn't pick her. Ammulu tells her that Pooja is better than Sarayu as she is kind, pure and good-hearted. Frustrated, Sarayu tries to marry Ankith forcefully but Ankith clarifies that he will never be able to love her or Pooja and he will stay single if Ammulu dies. He also explains that love is a pure feeling and Sarayu was brainwashed by Vishnu and Kalpavalli since childhood and that she is not actually in love. Sarayu realizes Ankith's love for Ammulu and she finally moves on by letting him go.
Meanwhile, Pooja's father Krishna Prasad, who is a renowned doctor, discovers that there is a treatment to Ammulu's illness. However, Vishnu along with Chakri kidnap Ammulu to stop Ankith and Pooja's marriage. Vishnu decides to kill both Chakri and Ammulu, due to which, Chakri realizes that Vishnu used him to get his revenge on Ammulu. Chakri realizes his sister's value and apologizes to Ammulu. Meanwhile Ankith, Seenaiah and Nandini track Vishnu's location with Sarayu's help and save Chakri and Ammulu. Nandini finally realizes Vishnu's true colours and gets him arrested and even Sarayu starts hating her father. All of them admit Ammulu at a hospital and Chakri pays the hospital fee using the money earned from Ammulu and Anurag's project “Mounaraagam” by selling Ammulu's drawings. Seenaiah and Ankith forgive Chakri. Then, Krishna Prasad operates on Ammulu and successfully saves her life. Finally Ammulu and Ankith happily reunite along with Lucky, Chakri, Seenaiah, Neelaveni, Kanthamma, Nandini, Pooja and Krishna Prasad.
