==Plot==
{{copy edit section|date=April 2021}}
The film begins sometime during the 1600-1700s, during the [[Vijayanagara Empire|Vijayanagaran Empire]] at Vidyanagaram. It is the hometown of high scholars & the elite communities where Kasinatha Sastry (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) — an orthodox [[Brahmin]] — was brought up by his elder brother Viswanatha Sastry (Gummadi) and his sister-in-law Annapurna (Santha Kumari).

On one occasion, a low caste Bhagavatar called Bhachanollu visited Vidyanagaram. During this meeting, an extraordinary dancer, Manjulavani (Anjali Devi), challenged the people of Vidyanagaram. Soon after the dance, Kasi competes and emerges victorious. Viswambhara Sastry (Chittor V. Nagaiah) — the mentor of Kasi — admonishes him because he has dragged Goddess Saraswati onto the streets. Here, Kasi argues that art does not have any caste or community and should hold public admiration when Viswambhara Sastry becomes furious and knocks Kasi out.

Being aware of the situation, Viswanatha Sastry berates and forcibly makes Kasi apologise to his mentor. Therefore, Kasi & Manju fall for each other. He gives a show, ignoring the ordinance of village heads and his elders for which he has been ostracized from the religion. Soon after, Kasi marries Manju, and they become beloved by the public all over the country with their performances. King Vijayananda Ramagajapati (S.V.Ranga Rao) is impressed and invites them to his kingdom, where Dharmadhikari (Mukkamala) narrates the story of Kasi.

It transpires that Kasi is ineligible for the honour, and Kasi strives for victory over all the scholars in the council. Even Viswambhara Sastry appreciates him. Keeping that grudge in mind, Dharmadhikari plots to get back. By using a court dancer Amurthamba (Rajasulochana), who turns him into a spoiled brat. Once he gets drunk, Kasi is unable to sing in the court and the King sends him to prison. Manju arrives in time and reveals the conspiracy of Dharmadhikari.

Later, Kasi and Manju return to Vidyanagaram, but Kasi cannot get off his vices. He loses his wealth and starts ill-treating Manju. Learning of the developments, Annapurna reaches Kasi secretly and makes him repent and reform. Viswanatha Sastry does not allow her to go on her return, so she commits suicide, but Kasi and Manju get her back with their devotional power. At last, the entire society realises the couple's innocence and pleads guilty.
