Plot
The film is based on the concept of Reincarnation, an idea chiseled in the mind of director Dasari Narayana Rao to give completeness to Devadasu's story. The film begins Devadasu (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) leaving his last breath in front of Parvathi's (Savitri) house and she rushes to see him, but the door is closed by her family and she collapses. Chandramukhi a courtesan who adores Devadasu, whom he promises to marry in the next life also dies at his Samadhi. Now the story begins; Devadasu takes rebirth as Sridhar Raja (Akkineni Nageswara Rao), Chandramukhi as Aruna (Vanisri) and Parvathi is still waiting for Devadasu with a strong faith as she has a desire to serve him. The rest of the story is whether Devadasu comes back and how he reunites with Chandramukhi.
