<p>. Ramaiah (B. R. Panthulu) and Kistaiah (D. Balasubramanyam) are close friends and farmers. Ramaiah’s family consists of his wife, Sugunamma (Rushyendramani), and two sons, Sundar (Amarnath) and Kumar (N. T. Rama Rao), and a daughter, Rupa (Surabhi Balasaraswathi), who are struggling for their daily needs. Under the guidance of Kistaiah, Ramaiah starts a small contract business in the town, for which Kishtaiah organizes the amount by mortgaging his wife’s jewelry. Ramaiah settles in the town, pays the debt, and also promises to couple up Kishtaiah’s daughter Usha (Padmini) with his son Kumar. Meanwhile, Ramaiah’s sons move to town for education when Ammalakkalu heckles Usha, which offends Kistaiah, so he too joins Usha in the same school. Years roll by, Kumar and Usha grow up together, and they love each other. At the present, Ramaiah arranges his elder son Sundar’s marriage with a shrew woman named Shanta (Lalitha).
