Plot

The film begins in an estate where a family rivalry, owing to a blood feud, is still pursued by kinsmen Madhava Rao & Raja. The two hold the utmost respect and authority over the region. All the time, battles erupt between them due to petty issues. Rajeswari Devi, their paternal aunt, always undertakes negotiations to reunite them. She conjugates her elder daughter Parvati with Madhava Rao, and her younger daughter Shanti loves Raja. Here, Raja constantly embraces his hands towards Madhava Rao and respects him as his elder, which he denies.

Just after, Rajeswari Devi plans to knit Raja & Shanti, which Madhava Rao is opposed to, and warns her to desert his wife in the future. Then, Raja affirms that he will marry Shanti only with his brother's approval. However, benevolent Parvati quits the house and performs their wedding. Since Madhava Rao’s outrage peaks, Raja seizes his authority. So, he is in cahoots with a heinous Police officer to denounce Raja, but he pays him back. In tandem, Sumathi, sister of Madhava Rao, loves a school teacher, Raghu, and Raja words to couple them. Knowing it, Madhava Rao becomes ferocious and subjects them to punishment.

Besides, Radha, a mate of Raja whom he treats as his sister, arrives. Unfortunately, knaves attribute illicit relations between them. The next, the Police officer slays her and incriminates Raja. Moreover, he falsifies Shanti as worse when enraged Rajeswari Devi slaughters him and commits suicide to conjoin the families. By the time, Raja absconds when Rajeswari Devi makes a promise to nuptial Sumathi with her love interest. Now, by hiding, Raja arranges their wedding, and Madhava Rao intrigues to eliminate them. In the assault, Madhava Rao severely injures whom Raja shields him by giving him his blood when he reforms. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the family's reunion.
