It is now the duty of Sita, the daughter-in-law of Naidu to bring these souls on track.

The film starts with Mr. Naidu, a great fan of music and traditional Indian fine arts. He wants his only son to become a great musician, but unfortunately he loses his son in a car accident.

Sita is also a fan of music and loves Mr. Narayana. Naidu agrees for them to get married and Shankar, the second son marries a rich girl.

Naidu sends the three sons to city to earn sufficient money to start the construction of a Music academy named Sangeetha Bharathi. But all three forget the cause they come for once they get popularity in city and they get addicted to bad habits.
