Plot
The film begins with Chakravarthy, a multi-millionaire who lives alone and always repents for losing his pregnant wife, Parvati. Meanwhile, Michael, a gangster, is released from jail and aims to ravage Chakravarthy as he is responsible for his sentence. Here, Michael learns a secret: Chakravarthy has a son, Raja, and he wants to use him as a weapon. So, he ploys by falsifying Chakravarthy as a deceiver of his mother and instigates Raja to avenge his father. Right now, Raja, with the help of his fiancé Roja and friend Ram Babu, enters Chakravarthy's life, claiming themselves as his children and teasing him. After a few comic incidents, Chakravarthy develops an affection towards Raja and wants to accord him as his heir. At that moment, Raja double-crosses Chakravarthy and necks out by grabbing his wealth when Roja shelters him. Recognizing the afflict, Parvati chides Raja and starts narrating the past.
Twenty years ago, Chakravarthy and Parvati used to work for Michael. Once Chakravarthy spots his illegal activities, he surrenders to the Police. So, to escape, he also indicts Parvati in the deed when Chakravarthy discards her. Later, he realizes the truth, arrests Micheal, and rushes for Parvati. By that time, it's too late. Listening to it, Raja moves to plead pardon from his father when a flabbergast, Roja, is murdered, of which Chakravarthy is accused. At last, Raja breaks out the mystery that Roja is alive in his custody of Michael. So, he relieves her and proves his father's innocence. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Raja and Roja.
