They plan to kill Raju through one of the prisoners, Simhadri, a barber using a trick to cut his neck while shaving, but Simhadri sees Raju's magical eyes and gets ~~hypnotized~~, thus compelling him to abort the idea of murder. The prisoners who are attempting to escape see a statue of [[Venkateswara]] in a temple and because they see Raju's spirit in it, they get ~~hypnotized~~ and eventually return.

The prisoners who are attempting to escape see a statue of [[Venkateswara]] in a temple and because they see Raju's spirit in it, they get hypnotised and eventually return.

	The prisoners gradually turn into good people and become attached to Raju, who dreams of marrying Saroja, in his mother's presence. One day, Raju sends the prisoners to the market for selling vegetables cultivated by them. There, Govinda Swamy and his henchmen mix up alcohol in their tea; while they return in a drunken state, they attack Raju and Saroja. Raju is not pleased with their status and commands them to kill him if that is what they want. Hypnotism and conscience again strike the prisoners, causing them to drop their weapons. The next morning, the prisoners fall at Raju's feet and earn the forgiveness of both Raju and Saroja.
