Plot

Radha, a musician, is the daughter of Colonel Kondala Rao. Venu is also a scholar, and the two compete in a duel, where Venu wins. Here, Radha reveres him and joins as his pupil when they crush. Kondala Rao denies it, as he aspires to knit Radha with his nephew Anand. Ergo, Radha quits and nuptials Venu. The couple leads a delightful life and is blessed with a baby girl, Lakshmi. After a while, Venu remains unemployed and faces the music from Kondala Rao. Despite Radha's objection, he declares to sing for renowned dancer Nalini as a ruse of sly Anand. Following, Venu proceeds abroad with her. Here, Radha moves stand-alone to have Lakshmi with her parents, but tragically, she mislaid, who is shielded by a vice. Desperate, Radha, on a mentor's counsel, chooses a music career and becomes famous. Meanwhile, in a show, Nalini fails Venu's music and charges him, which makes him quit. The ship he is traveling on meets with an accident and is crippled. Time passes, and Venu, as a roamer, is searching for a singer. Once he listens, Lakshmi's voice detects her and, unbeknownst to him, molds her as a professional. Parallelly, Radha receives the highest honor when Venu, in the veil, challenges the best ones and makes Lakshmi contend with her mother. At last, Lakshmi triumphs when Venu reveals the identity of the two. Finally, the movie ends happily with the family's reunion.
