== Plot ==
Raju, a farmer lives with his sister Janaki, whom he adores. Venkatappaiah, a rich man plans to marry off his son Dr. Raghu to his brother-in-law Ganapathi's daughter Rani, an advocate. Raghu refuses to marry her and Rani takes a vow to marry him at any cost. Raju and the mean Venkatappaiah are at loggerheads. Venkatappaiah plots against him with his Man Friday Kethanna and sends him to jail. Orphaned, Janaki is saved by Raghu and by circumstances marries him. Raju is released from jail and seeks revenge against Venkatappaiah, but finding his sister there as the daughter-in-law leaves the place. Venkatappaiah and his wife Kantham throw the pregnant Janaki out and tell Raghu that she eloped with someone. Janaki delivers a baby. A childless couple Venkatramaiah and his wife adopt the child. Janaki jumps into the river to end her life. Raju saves her and determines to set things right. Wearing disguises, he first brings the child back to Janaki and then unites her with Raghu and finally Raju marries Rani.
The film begins in a village where Raju, a peasant, dotes & rears his sibling Janaki. Zamindar Venkatappa, a tyrant, tramples the farmers whom Raju consistently antagonizes. Dr. Raghu, the benevolent son of Venkatappa, supports & serves the needy. From childhood, Venkatappa's niece, Advocate Rani, loves Raghu, and elders want to knit them. Anyhow, Raghu denies it, yet uppity Rani pledges to possess him. Meanwhile, Raju fixes Janaki's alliance when Venkatappa ruses by confiscating his property to pay off his debts. Thus, it calls off the wedding and penalizes Raju for a deceitful cover-up. Janaki, left alone, encounters consequences, and destiny tosses her towards Raghu, who shelters and nuptials her. Though the Venkatappa couple is hostile, Janaki gains their affection with her virtue, and she conceives. Currently, Raju is out. One night, in Raghu's absence, he seeks vengeance on Venkatappa. Nevertheless, Raju views Janaki, via whom he is aware of the status quo, and silently backs. Venkatappa couple spots it and expels her, suspecting her chastity. Exploiting it, Rani bruits her elopement, which collapses Raghu. After facing many hardships, Janaki delivers a baby boy. Since she is helpless, she endorses him to the childless, wealthy Venkataramaiah couple. Rani tries to get hold of Raghu, who is upset for Janaki, who gains humiliation instead. Fortuitously, Raju rescues Janaki from suicide and retrieves her baby, too. Now enraged, Rani wants revenge and publishes a paper advertisement for the groom. Raju comes across and approaches her in disguise. At this, she proclaims to him that the only way to splice her is to slaughter Raghu. Here, Raju makes a play by divulging actuality to Raghu, counterfeiting his death, and hiding-uniting him with Janaki. At last, the Venkatappa couple & Rani beg forgiveness from Raju & Janaki. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Raju & Rani.
