Plot[edit]
Pelli Chesukundham is a story of how Anand, a multi-millionaire, supports Shanti, victim of a rape. Shanti witnesses a murder committed by Kali Charan and reports it in the police station. His brother rapes her to take revenge and her family doesn't want her to stay with them. Anand, knowing everything, welcomes her and gives her shelter in his house, though society disapproves of it.
Anand slowly falls in love with Shanti, but Shanti thinks highly of him and doesn't want to get close with him. Meanwhile, Anand's cousin Laila returns from the US and pursues Anand. She slowly realises that Anand was in love with Shanti and leaves him. Anand and Shanti at last reconcile and marry.
