Plot[edit | edit source]
The film begins in a village where Ramaiah, a potter, resides with his wife Manikyamba, & sibling Raju, who adores his elder & sister-in-law as parentage and falls for his maternal uncle Subbaiah's daughter Vimala. A cordial relationship flourishes between the two families, and they engage the twosome. Following this, Raju walks to the town for higher education. Meanwhile, Subbaiah plans for a factory and debts from stingy loan shark Shavukar Narsaiah, which Ramaiah guarantees. Soon, he earns well when Narsaiah also allies. During that quandary, Raju returns and establishes a cottage industry at his brother's aid. Narsaiah occupies it, too, instead of his dues, which leads to Ramaiah's death. After a while, Subbaiah moved with the bridal connection of Raju & Vimala, stipulating that the bridegroom must be matrilocality. Though Manikyamba agrees, Raju denies it. Besides, Narsaiah appoints his son Raja Shekaram as their factory manager, who maltreats the laborers, and they quit being fed-up workers. Ergo, Raju starts up a new industry by accumulating them. Now Subbaiah declares Vimala's knit with Raja Shekaram. Parallelly, Narsaiah ploys to destroy Raju's factory. Overhearing it, Vimala rushes to Manikyamba, and they all approach the factory. At last, Raju shields it, ceases the baddies, and Subbaiah reforms. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Raju & Vimala.
