==Plot==
Raghava Rao (N. T. Rama Rao) a [[self-made man]], loves and marries Lalitha (Jamuna) daughter of advocate Pratap Rao (Mikkilineni) without her father's approval. After some time, the couple is blessed with two children Shekar and Lakshmi. Raghava works as a clerk in a company owned by Bhupathi (Jaggayya) where he unfolds the misdeeds committed by General Manager Satyam (Satyanarayana), brother-in-law of Bhupathi. Knowing it, Bhupathi removes Satyam and promotes Raghava Rao in his place. There onwards, Satyam keeps a grudge on Raghava Rao. After that, Raghava Rao is habituated to drinking during the official parties which leads to disputes in his family life. Meanwhile, the yearly auditions start. Satyam with the help of accountant Lingam (Allu Ramalingaiah) and secretary Nalini (Vijaya Bhanu) burns all the documents against them. Chandram an illiterate cousin to Nalini, loves her but he is denied as she has an affair with Satyam and becomes pregnant. But Satyam rejects her when she blackmails him to reveal his secrets, so, he kills her and throws the blame on Raghava Rao. Chandram witnesses it but becomes dumb, Lingam takes a photograph of the incident and keeps Satyam in his grip. Pratap Rao as a public prosecutor sentences Raghava Rao life imprisonment.

Lalitha leaves the city with the children and joins a college as a tutor. Its principal Raja Rao (Raavi Kondala Rao) nurtures her as her own sister. Years pass. Raghava Rao is released, joins as a gardener at Raja Rao's house and spots Lalitha. He decides not to reveal his identity until he proves his innocence. On the other side, Shekar, Lakshmi, Bhupathi's son Gopi, Raja Rao's daughter Saroja study in the same college and fall in love. Once Raghava Rao visits his jail-mate Dara's (Prabhakar Rao) house where he learns Dara is working for Satyam and Chandram, Nalini's cousin is nourished by him. Parallelly, Bhupathi detects that Satyam and Lingam are making black marketing, asks them to surrender to the police, so, they decide to eliminate him. To execute the task, Satyam moves to Dara where he recognizes Chandram and tries to kill him. Before dying, he gets back his voice, reveals the truth to Raghava Rao. Now Raghava Rao unites with Dara, arrives in disguise as a Singapore Rowdy Bhakra and with the help of Bhupathi, he succeeds in bringing out the truth.
