Plot

The film is a tale of two divine souls, Rathaiah & Mutyalu, who met in childhood and cohabitated with pure hearts. Rathaiah is imprudent & inept, so Mutyalu labors for their survival. They reside blissfully in a small hut, and Rathaiah's main strength is eternal love for Mutyalu. Besides, another love track of two colleagues, Sagar & Sujatha, goes on. The two are so fond of each other, but the elders split them, and they elope. Later, Sagar loses his charm through a fire accident when Sujatha quits as she puts more emphasis on aesthetic appeal. Parallelly, Rathaiah seeks to gain any post but fails as unskilled. Once, a few drinkers mislead & batter him with one-shot use. Mutyalu retrieves him after a long quest in heavy rain and becomes the toxic fever victim. Rathaiah breaks the temple doors at midnight and fetches saffron to shield Mutyalu. Whereat, the public strikes, misinterpreting him as a thief. He nears Mutyalu bearing it and recoups her with his idolization.

Meanwhile, Kolaiappa, a rogue rickshawala, misbehaves with Mutyalu when Rathaiah pounds him, weaponizing his affection for her. Being begrudged, Kolaiappa tries to molest Mutyalu in Rathaiah's absence when Sivangi, a former dreadful disabled ruffian, secures her. He dramatically cares about Rathaiah & Mutyala, calling them brother-in-law & sister. However, Sinvangi is a cruel spirit who keeps an evil eye on Mutyalu and threatens to make her knit him by putting Rathaiah in a pitfall. Hence, Mutyalu expels Rathaiah for his welfare, mortifying him as futile, and says at least Sivangi can earn by begging to be handicapped. Thus, furious Rathaiah reaches the holy fairy, where he pokes his two eyes before the goddess, proclaiming his adoration for Mutyalu. Following this, Mutyalu lands affirms the actuality and rebukes Sivangi, who too bows down for their unbreakable bond. At last, Rathaiah declares to see the world with Mutyalu's vision from there, which also reforms Sagar & Sujatha's discerning true love's eminence. Finally, the movie ends with Rathaiah moving into the steps of Mutyalu.
