	==Plot==		==Plot==
	Siddeswara Rao ~~(Rao Gopal Rao)~~ a ~~malicious~~, his sister ~~Gayatri Devi (Sarada) returns~~ from abroad ~~along~~ with her husband Vasudeva Rao ~~(Ranganath). She~~ seeks her share of the property which he denies. Moreover, he kills Vasudeva Rao and ~~incriminates~~ Gayatri ~~Devi~~. ~~Fortunately~~, she is pregnant at that time and gives birth to a baby boy. ~~Knowing it~~, Siddeswara Rao ~~attempts~~ to eliminate ~~him~~ too ~~by his henchman Sambaiah (Gollapudi Maruti Rao)~~. He abducts ~~the child~~ when a truck driver Rangaiah ~~(Nutan Prasad)~~ rescues him. ~~Out of fear~~, Sambaiah ~~informs the~~ kid's death Siddeswara Rao ~~when he~~ backstabs him ~~but~~ he escapes. In tandem, ~~Rangaiah's couple rears the boy affectionately as Mohana Krishna~~. Years roll by, Mohana Krishna ~~(Nandamuri Balakrishna) raises~~ as a ~~valiant~~ who ~~confronts the unjust~~. ~~Being an unbeknownst~~, he ~~encounters~~ Siddeswara Rao, ~~squabbles with~~ his ~~snobbish daughter Anuradha (Radha), and roguish~~ son Ramesh ~~(Sudhakar). Hence~~, ~~they begrudge him~~. Meanwhile, Gayatri Devi is released, ~~gets~~ her share, and declares business warfare against her brother. ~~She unites~~ Mohana Krishna ~~when unknown bondage develops between them~~ and ~~they are almost at~~ the ~~edge to destroy Siddeswara Rao~~. ~~During that plight~~, Anuradha conspires and ~~penalizes~~ Mohana Krishna on a ~~false allegation~~. ~~Therefore, as a counter-attack~~, he ~~marries~~ her ~~with play-act~~ when ~~being aware~~ of her father~~'s devilish shade~~ Anuradha reforms and ~~proceeds~~ with ~~Mohana Krishna~~. ~~Afterward~~, Rangaiah ~~detects~~ Sambaiah but ~~unfortunately,~~ goes into the ~~hands~~ of Siddeswara Rao ~~and he learns that Mohana Krishna as Gayatri Devi's son~~. ~~Here~~, ~~he, makes Sambaiah provokes~~ Mohana Krishna ~~against~~ his mother ~~but they fuse when~~ the truth comes ~~out~~. ~~Then~~, ~~enraged~~ Ramesh tries to molest Lakshmi ~~(Madhuri) daughter of Sambaiah. Unfortunately~~, Sambaiah ~~only~~ kills ~~Lakshmi by mistake~~. At that juncture, Mohana Krishna plays the same old trick ~~of Siddeswara Rao~~ and ~~involves~~ Ramesh ~~in the crime~~. So, Siddeswara Rao ~~tries to break~~ the bars ~~of the prison to release~~ his son ~~when~~ Mohana Krishna ~~interferes and eliminate~~ them.		The film begins with a business magnate, Siddeswara Rao, a devious and direful person. Gayatri Devi, his sister, gets back from abroad with her husband Vasudeva Rao and seeks her share of the property, which he denies. Moreover, he brutally kills Vasudeva Rao and craftily penalizes Gayatri. However, she is pregnant at that time and gives birth to a baby boy in prison. So, Siddeswara Rao instructs his allegiant Sambaiah to eliminate the child too. So, he abducts him when a truck driver, Rangaiah, rescues and rears him as Mohana Krishna. Frightened, Sambaiah announces a kid's death when Siddeswara Rao backstabs him, and he escapes. In tandem, Siddeswara Rao ridicules Gayatri when she challenges him to wipe out him.

			Years roll by, and Mohana Krishna grows up as a doughty who defies injustice. Unbeknownst, he becomes diehard to Siddeswara Rao, his mischievous son Ramesh, and snobby daughter Anuradha. Meanwhile, Gayatri Devi is released, acquires her share, and declares business warfare against her brother. Destiny makes Rangaiah Gayatri's driver, and she associates with Mohana Krishna. Here, they develop strange relations and, on the verge of collapsing, their adversary. Then, Anuradha conspires and apprehends Mohana Krishna under a trumped-up charge. Hence, he ripostes by marrying her in disguise. Soon after, Mohana Krishna reveals his identity. Consequently, Anuradha, infuriated, tries to kill Gayatri Devi when she learns about the devilish side of her father. Therefore, Anuradha reforms and unites with her husband.

			After a while, Rangaiah identifies Sambaiah; it is hard to hold him, but he goes into the clutches of Siddeswara Rao. Discovering the actuality, Siddeswara Rao intrigues by goading Mohana Krishna with his mother through Sambaiah with a fairytale. Despite that, the truth comes forward, which conjoins Mohana Krishna & Gayatri Devi. Knowing it, begrudge Ramesh's moves for vengeance against Sambaiah. He tries to molest his daughter Lakshmi when, by mistake, Sambaiah kills her. At that juncture, Mohana Krishna plays the same old trick and indicts Ramesh. Thus, Siddeswara Rao breaks the bars and absconds his son. At last, Mohana Krishna ceases them. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note.
