Plot

[edit]

The film begins with agents of death land for the life of Raghuram. Amidst they are carrying his soul, he wishes to view his funeral rights, which the two bestow. At this moment, Raghuram anticipates that all his men will be engulfed in mourning for his death, which reverses. The agents heckle him, witnessing it. Raghuram states he is under dichotomy whether the world revolves around Money or Love and spins back. Raghuram is a good spirit with high ethics and works as editor & chief of a newspaper. He resides with his wife, Bharati & three progeny, Shekar, Chinna, & Indira. Raghuram loves society as much as his family and spends half of his earnings on charity, but his family is quite opposite to his principles. Besides, several characters surround Raghuram, his bestie, Subramanyam, who constantly warns him about his path. Mastan, whom Raghuram shields in a religious strife, risking his life. Above all, Kotaiah, a loanshark, wagers Raghuram never to approach him for a debt if Love is more significant than Money. Once, his managing director, G.Venkat Rao, forced him to publish tabloid photos to increase circulation, which he rejected & resigned as per morals. Later, Venkat Rao admits his fault, apologizes, and reappoints Raghuram, promising not to be involved in his duty.

Meanwhile, Indira secretly knits a guy named Ravi. Still, Raghuram wholeheartedly welcomes them and conducts a grand reception. Shekar qualifies for the Police selection but bribes him for the job, and Chinna, an education donation fee for an engineering seat, which Kotaiah & Subramanyam are accommodating to their sons—additionally, Ravi & Indira demand funds to settle in the US. Raghuram denies the three feeling it dead wrong from vice. From there, they create mental agony in him with scorn & detest, including Bharati, but he does not yield. Anyhow, discerning that his kids are going into the dark path to earning money, Raghuram succumbs. Hence, he loans at Venkat Rao & Mastan, and the amount is unfilled. Whereat, Raghuram forwards Kotaiah, accepting his defeat, which he presents. Today, the public comes in droves to Raghuram's funeral, but his son-in-law & sons are missing. Through agents, Raghuram's soul knows they are hiding in the same town to escape from the debtors. Concurrently, the doctors arrive to collect his donated eyes when they declare suicide. They also detect a note where Raghuram announced he can not bear his ideology's defeat. Subramanyam shatters therein but conceals the fact to guard Raghuram's honor. Eventually, Bharati collapses, comprehending her husband's virtue and children's evil shade.

Raghuram's last journey begins with the society he facilitated, which grows into the ocean step by step. Midway, his sons & son-in-law, who are fleeing, struck in the vast procession. Ergo, they have to participate in it as recognized. Raghuram's soul is wailing to retrieve the amount of his debts. Kotaiah bars Shekar just before lighting the pyre, vowing not to let him do so until they clear his due. So, Shekar walks out reluctantly, leaving his father's corpse. Then, the whole public sets foot to pay the amount, showing their gratitude towards Raghuram, which makes his children remorseful. Here, Kotaiah acclaims Raghuram's eminence and his adoration towards him. He has carried out this mess to reform children and make Raghuram win. Now, the entire family bows down before Raghuram's integrity and oaths to move in his footsteps. However, Bharati hinders Shekar from performing the ritual since they are the main factors for his death and implores the public to accomplish it, and they do. At last, Raghuram triumphs in his victory. Startlingly, the agents transform into heavenly gods because Raghuram has been in grief till now, which is hell & he is currently under great happiness, heaven. Finally, the movie ends Raghuram's soul departing with a proclamation: We never brought anything in birth or take nothing at death, but he is carrying the love shared by the society.
