==Plot==
Once upon on a time, there was a kingdom Malwa, it's King Vikramasena (C.S.R) & Queen Soudamini (Kannamba) are perturbed as childless. But with the blessings from sage Bodhayana (S.B.Acharya), the queen Soudamini conceives. Here sadly, Vikramasena goes into the clutches of court dancer Vilasavati (T. R. Rajini) one that falsifies illicit relation between Chief Minister Mahamathi (D.S.Sadasiva Rao) & Soudamini. As a result, Vikramasena charges the death sentence to Mahamathi and exiles Soudamini from the kingdom. Fortunately, Soudamini is protected by a good Samaritan Gopala and she gives birth to a baby boy Udayasena (Akkineni Nageswara Rao). Meanwhile, promiscuous Vilasavati claws chief commander Kampala (K.Prabhakara Rao) too who prisons the King and stamps out his eyes. Being cognizant of it, Soudamini sends Udayasena to protect his father. According to her ordinance, Udayasena reaches a kingdom Kuntala where he is acquainted with its princess Hemavati (S.Varalakshmi) and they fall in love. Knowing it, King Surasena captures them, but somehow they abscond. But unfortunately, they get separated when Hemavati seized by a wizard. Eventually, Soudamini reaches Malwa when Kampala recognizes and rounds up her. Meanwhile, Udayasena with the help of an angel (Vanaja) gets divine flowers from heaven to retrieve his father's vision. Parallelly, he protects Hemavati, lands at Malwa when he was caught and sentenced to death. At last, the angel rescues him when he defeats the plotters, gets back his father's eyesight and reunites his parents.
