## Plot

Suryam is a gallant firing up in the office of a great industrialist, Rajagaru. An intense conflict arises when Suryam shoots Rajagaru, who is critical in the hospital. Following, Anand & Ashok, the vagabond sons of Rajagaru, bribe a wicked cop to finish apprehending Suryam. As per their steering, he stirs him to the remote area for an encounter. Nevertheless, Surya batters them, absconds into the forest and spins rearward. Sudarshan Rao, a malice brother-in-law of Rajagaru, predominates over his property and makes his sons puppets. Suryam acquired a physical director (PD) job at his college and lives with his widowed mother, Varalakshmi. He always contretemps with the vainglory Sudarshan Rao's daughter, Surekha, and they crush. Charming Satya joins as Suryam's junior and entices him, but in vain.
Once, they move on a college tour when Satya implicates Suryam in the rape case. Subsequently, the college committee decides that Suryam should knit her. Suryam imparts the truth via Satya that it is a wink of Sudarshan Rao to create a rift between the turtle doves. Plus, she has done it to rescue her ailing father, Sambasiva Rao. Enraged, Sudarshan Rao reaches Suryam's residence and gets startled by witnessing Varalakshmi. This minute, Sudarshan Rao accepts the marriage of the two, provided he expects an answer from Suryam that his father is alive and why his mother is living like a widow. Being mindful, Suryam stuns, rushes to his mother, and learns Rajagaru is his father. In the interim, terminally ill Sambasiva Rao spots Varalakshmi and lands there with incredible difficulty since he is one of the accomplices and divulges the past.
Twenty-five years ago, Varalakshmi was a maid at Rajagaru's residence when his wedding arrangements were afoot with Sudarshan Rao's sister. One night, Pandu, the cousin of Varalakshmi, commits a theft when he accidentally dies at the hands of Rajagaru. To secure him, Varalakshmi incriminates herself. Rajagaru acquits and splices Varalakshmi, unbeknownst of her kin, with Pandu. Exploiting it, begrudged Sudarshan Rao cabals on Varalakshmi's pregnant ceremony Seemantham mingling Sambasiva Rao by blemishing her chastity. Hence, Rajagaru decrees she should live as a widow by removing her wedding chain Mangalsutra, bangles, and sectarian mark Bottu.
Presently unfolding his sin, Sambasiva Rao passes away, leaving his daughter's responsibility to Suryam. Before the delay, Suryam approaches his father. Parallelly, Anand raids Rajagaru to grab the money for whitewashing his mistake in the trade. However, Suryam safeguards him and helps him attain a position in his company. Step by step, he wins his laurels and procures a post for Satya as an indebtedness to her father when she genuinely loves him. Sudarshan Rao forcibly transits Surekha to Rajagaru's residence, where two flies persist in their love, making Satya back up.
Meanwhile, Rajagaru is aware of Anand's scam, which has turned his reputation upside down. After a while, Ashok tries to molest Satya, and Suryam shields her when Rajagaru kicks him out. Grief-stricken Rajagaru shares with Suryam that he did not possess a virtuous heir. Moreover, he embraces him and states that getting a son like him is a boon, which makes Suryam cloud nine. Next, Sudarshan Rao senses Suryam's presence at his father. Immediately, he rushes to engage Sirisha with Anand and warns Varalakshmi, who hinders Suryam. Anyhow, Satya pauses it, brings the fact to light, and proves the eminence of Varalakshmi.
Rajagaru feels remorseful and advances to Varalakshmi but hesitates due to his sons. Hence, furious Suryam assaulted the office. Indeed, anguished Rajagaru attempted suicide, and Suryam tried to arrest him, but it was too late. As of today, Sudarshan Rao wiles by issuing shoot-at-sight orders for Suryam. Knowing it, Rajagaru wakes up and moves to the forest with Satya & Surekha. After a fierce fight, Suryam ceases the baddies and reforms his brothers, but tragically, Satya dies while shielding him. At last, Rajagaru bestows sectarian marks, bangles, and wedding chains to Varalakshmi. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Suryam & Surekha.
