Plot

The film begins on Ashok (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) an unemployed guy, lives in a bus left as crap. Aruna (Kanchana) a beautiful girl, is the daughter of Chilakalapudi Zamindar (Chittor V. Nagaiah) is cramped under several restrictions. Moreover, she is hindered by her cousin Shekar (Krishnam Raju) who aspires to espouse her. Annoyed Aruna leaves the house and accommodates in Ashok's bus, introducing herself as an orphan when they fall in love. Later on, Ashok learns Aruna's true identity and takes her back when she accuses him of his betrayal. On his way back, distressed Ashok meets with an accident in which he loses his memory. Meanwhile, Zamindar passes away, accrediting ownership to Aruna and entrusts her responsibility to his trustworthy servant Subbaiah (Perumallu). Knowing it, Sekhar becomes furious but maintains cool and sticks around Aruna for the property. Parallelly, in a village, a charming girl Rani (Vanisri) lives along with her mother Durgamma (G. Varalakshmi). Once she spots wandering Ashok who is unable to recognize himself, so, she gives him shelter. Rani provides him a new identity as Raja and tattoos the name on his chest. Both of them like each other and couples up. Time being, they are blessed with a son. Besides, Aruna is still awaiting for Ashok. At present, Raja lands at the city to obtain a bank loan for the development of his farms, when he is backstabbed by some burglars. Seriously injured Raja / Ashok is rescued by Aruna when he regains his past but forgets Rani. In the village, perturbed Rani moves in search of Raja when she is shielded by Aruna. Thereupon, Rani gets startled to see Raja as Aruna's fiancé. To clarify her doubt one night, Rani reaches Ashok's bedroom to check the tattoo and confirms him as Raja. Unfortunately, Shekar witnesses it and spoils Aruna's mind too. In that perplexity, Ashok gets a mental shock and collapses. Angered Aruna orders Subbaiah to neck out Rani. During that time, Durgamma arrives when Subbaiah recognizes her as the original mother of Aruna who has given her daughter for adoption to childless Zamindar. Here, Shekar & Aruna start denouncing Rani which makes Subbaiah reveal the truth when malicious Shekar tries to marry Aruna forcibly. At the same time, Ashok retrieves his complete memory and obstructs Shekar. In that quarrel, Aruna is injured while guarding Ashok against harm. Finally, the movie ends with Aruna happily leaving her last breath by uniting Ashok & Rani.
