Plot

The film begins in a village, where Rayanam a farmer who lost his entire wealth in charities, he has three children, Madhav & Chinnabai and a daughter Aruna. Madhav returns to his village after completing his education and decides to take up the farming, so, he takes his blind friend Dasu's land on lease. Lakshmi is a milkwoman, adore Rayanam & Madhav as deities. Parallelly, Chinnabai quarrels with his father and starts a hotel by taking a loan from a widow Pitchamma. Pitchamma aspires to couple up her daughter Damayanti with Madhav despite he leaves the agriculture and moves to the city. At the same time, a doctor Damodaram Tripada/DDT lands at the village and falls for Damayanti. Meanwhile, Lakshmi loves Madhav but maintains silence due to fear, even helps them in their needs unknowingly. Learning it, Munsif of the village Dayanidhi questions Madhav when he becomes furious and questions Lakshmi, but later, through Dasu he realizes Lakshmi's love. On the other side, Rayanam fixes Aruna's alliance and obtains some amount on debt which is stolen by Chinnabai. Here Dasu's mother Chukamma exploits the situation and asks Rayanam to perform Aruna's espousal with Dasu, to which he refuses. Keeping the grudge in mind, Chukamma colludes with Pitchamma and both of them spread rumors against Madhav, Lakshmi & Aruna. On the occasion Deepavali, while Madhav is returning to the village, the men sent by Pitchamma attacks him. Eventually, DDT & Dayanidhi hits Lakshmi and Aruna tries to commit suicide.
