Plot[edit]

Krishna Prasad is a son of a rich man, Satyanarayana Prasad (Jaggayya); in his childhood, his father's younger brother Garupmantha Rao (Nutan Prasad) kills his brother for the property and Krishna Prasad is driven out of the house. Krishna Prasad goes to live with his school-teacher Nagamani (Sharada), whom he treats as his own mother, she has two children, Balaram and Jyoti, of her own. Garupmantha Rao tries to kill Krishna also, but unfortunately Balaram is separated from his family, and is assumed dead. Nagamani looks after Krishna and Jyoti. After 20 years, Krishna Prasad (Venkatesh) falls in love with his college friend Radha (Amala). Raghu (Sudhakar), son of Garupmantha Rao becomes a local goon, protected by his dad by bribing the local police Inspector P.K. Pathi (Giri Babu). Jyoti (Poornima) is raped and murdered by Raghu and his pals, and they also run over Nagamani, rendering her crippled. Both Krishna and Nagamani swear to avenge Jyoti's death. Then Balaram (Siva Krishna) re-enters their lives, as a police inspector, and is bent on arresting Krishna by hook or by crook, casting doubts whether he is or not on the payroll.
