Plot

The film begins in a colony where a respectable family man, Shanta Murthy, lives. Siva, a meliorist, stays as a tenant at his penthouse—Shanta Murthy's elder daughter Vasanta and their neighbor Geeta like Siva's ideologies. Meanwhile, Siva's friend Chandram, a crafty, arrives at the colony. He distorts Shanta Murthy and propels his alliance with Vasanta. Parallelly, Siva acquires a fine job at a reputed college and nuptials Geeta. The next, Chandram & Vasanta proceed on their honeymoon, where tragically, four malefactors molest Vasanta, walloping Chandram. The incident creates a severe catastrophe that blemishes the family. As a result, Shantha Murthy quits the town, and Chandram expels Vasanta. During that plight, Siva & Geeta stand in for Vasanta and raise her spirit. Moreover, Siva seizes the violators and files the case in court. During the tribunal, Vasanta could not endure the coarse inquiry and was on the verge of losing the case. At that point, Siva awakens consciousness in people, which turns into a revolution and makes the culprits accept their crimes. Afterward, Chandram has to coalesce with Vasanta by an enforcement, so he subjects her to domestic violence. At last, she foiled, unable to tolerate it, and slain her husband. Finally, the movie ends with the judiciary understanding Vasantha's agony and acquitting her.
