Plot

Eeswar Chandra Prasad is the son of Ram Murthy and Shantamma. Murthy wants his son to get a job. However, Shantamma pampers Eeswar so much that he doesn't want to leave the village. When Murthy dies, Eeswar goes to the city to earn money to fulfill his father's last wish, following the advice of his friend Basha, who is a pickpocket. However, Eeswar cannot find Basha.

Meanwhile, Kotayya runs a big land mafia in Hyderabad and is a bitter rival of Narsing Pahilwan. Saidulu, Narsing's brother, attacks Kotayya and his assistant, but Eeswar accidentally saves them. Eeswar then gets a job at a tea stall run by Chandranna. He earns money, buys two gold bangles for his mother, and plans to leave the city. However, Narsing humiliates Eeswar for saving Kotayya and damages his mother's gold bangles. Infuriated, Eeswar kills Narsing and becomes the city's most feared goon.

Shantamma arrives in Hyderabad as Eeswar becomes a notorious figure. Kotayya tries to recruit Eeswar, but to no avail. Chandranna encourages Eeswar, now known as Yogi, to stay in the city to protect the poor from goons. Yogi becomes a terror for the goons. Kotayya and Saidulu then join forces to kill Yogi. However, during the attempt, Yogi kills Saidulu.

Nandini, a woman completing her practicals, is also after Yogi for an interview and eventually falls in love with him. Although Yogi and Shantamma live in the same city, they cannot meet. One day, Yogi meets Basha, who reveals that he saw Shantamma.

Though Basha and Shantamma go to the address, they cannot find Eeswar because he is known as Yogi. Shantamma waits for her son in front of a temple, as Basha tells her that Yogi visits the temple every Monday. However, Eeswar does not show up on Monday, fearing an attack by Saidulu's men. Shantamma dies in front of the temple, and Basha arranges her funeral. Yogi arrives but fails to recognize his mother's covered face and helps with the cremation expenses. He places flowers on his mother's body, unaware it is her until it is moved to the fire cabin. Basha arrives too late to explain. Yogi realizes the truth only after Nandini shows him his mother's belongings. The film ends with this emotional scene..
