Plot
Satya Murthy (Rajendra Prasad) is a loyal person who has just completed his MA LLB. After completing his studies, Satya Murthy joins as an apprentice with Advocate K. K. Rayudu (Narra Venkateswara Rao), who teaches him to follow injustice and earn money, but Satya Murthy rejects his ideas and decides to be faithful to law and justice. But this decision had made him face many problems. Satya Murthy is a lawyer and also an actor; while acting on stage he meets Sumathi (Meena), his co-artist and falls in love with her. Suryam (Vinod Kumar), the elder brother of Satya Murthy, had left his house long back and joined a group which strives for the poor people against the cruel politicians. Satya Murthy and Suryam always had a tough fight against Gurudev (Pokuri Babu Rao), who is a renowned rowdy and anti-social element in society. To support Satya Murthy and Suryam, Sumati also starts a revolution against Gurudev, for which she was badly insulted. To save her life, Satya Murthy marries Sumathi. Suryam gathers all the proofs against Gurudev and decides to expose it before the public and he is brutally killed by Gurudev on the public road. Satya Murthy files a case against Gurudev for killing Suryam. But Gurudev had left no choice for Satya Murthy than to withdraw the case. Will Satya Murthy succeed in opposing the cruel powerful people of the city and what all problems does he need to face? This forms the rest of the story.
