Years roll by, Raja (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) grows up as a jovial & energetic guy when he learns regarding his father's death, moves to take revenge. Parallelly, a notorious criminal gang headed by a person who wears a veil entrusts the pursuit of Raja to his son Kumar (Satyanarayana). After reaching the city, Raja makes friendship with a vagabond Chandram (Chalam), both of them are in hunt of Ramadasu but trustworthy Ramadasu still in the process of finding whereabouts of Jaganatha Rao's family.

Eventually, Jaya (Vandana) the missing daughter of Ramadasu who is brought up by a poor man becomes a petty thief and loves Chandram. On the other side, Kumar & his gang are behind Raja to eliminate him but Raja always gamely gives them a check and Chandram cleverly ties up with them to give backing for Raja.

Meanwhile, Ramadasu discovers the love affair of Raja & Vijaya which he opposes as he is given a word to perform his daughter's marriage with Jaganatha Rao's son. Simultaneously, Jaya's foster father passes away. Before dying, he reveals her birth secret to Chandram when he realizes Jaya as Ramadasu's daughter, also knows that Ramadasu is none other than Hanumantha Rao and informs it to the head of the gang.

Now the head appears as Narasimham which gives a huge shock to Raja & Parvathamma and they also recognize him as the homicide of Jaganatha Rao. At present, Narasimham blackmails Parvathamma and forcibly makes her to pose Kumar as her son before Ramadasu to acquire the property. At this juncture, Ramadasu makes wedding arrangements of Kumar & Vijaya when surprisingly, Chandram turns as a CBI Officer who frees Raja and reaches the venue.
