Plot
The film begins in a village where Ramu, a valiant loaf, pesters his foster, Pullatla Tayaramma. Besides, Phani Bhushan Rao, a malicious Zamindar, carries several barbarities therein. Lalitha, his sister, is sweet on Ramu. Ergo, Ramu approaches Bhushanam with the proposal when he is whipped and mortified. At that point, Bhushanam started to espouse his sister to a tycoon. Then, Ramu makes a precise beard so that he will receive Lalitha's hand by gaining lakhs. Accordingly, he proceeds to the city, where a benevolent Rangaiah shelters him, and he dotes on his dumb daughter Lakshmi as his sibling. After a while, Rangaiah dies in an accident, endorsing Lakshmi's responsibility to him. Now Ramu becomes a luminary in the film industry and returns for Lalitha. By then, she quits as Bhushanam forcibly fixes her alliance with film star Suresh. He is following Ramu's payback to Bhushanam, who fakes Lalitha's death, which distresses Ramu. During that plight, Madhuri, his co-artist, consoles him, and Tayaramma aspires to splice them. Fortuitously, Lalitha reaches Raju, facing many hardships that envy Suresh. So, he ploys, based on Bhushanam, to successfully reconcile with them, molests Lakshmi, and coerces Lalitha to wed Suresh. Meanwhile, Suresh's mother, Parvatamma, detects Ramu as her elder by his birthmark. Suresh attempts to knit Lalitha forcibly, but Ramu rescues her when Parvatamma divulges the actuality. At last, Suresh & Bhushanam reforms. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Ramu & Lalitha.
