Plot
[edit]The film begins in a village near the river Godavari. Parasuramaiah and Bullabbai are the most influential members of the community. They are brothers-in-law and are also rivals for the leadership of the village. Gopala Krishna is a local boatman who the villagers love. He wishes to end the brothers-in-law's conflict. Satyavati, the daughter of Parasuramaiah, secretly loves Gopala Krishna. Bullabbai brings a young woman from the city named Radha and isolates her in a mansion. Curious about this development, Gopala Krishna secretly enters the premises. He befriends her, and eventually, they fall in love with each other. Meanwhile, Gopala Krishna's mother, Ramulamma, is aware of Satyavathi's love and proposes marriage between her and Gopala Krishna. However, she is humiliated by Parasuramaiah, who cannot believe that Ramulamma dared to ask for his daughter's hand for her boatman son. As a result, she commits suicide when Gopala Krishna is enraged and attacks Parasuramaiah, on the verge of slaying him before being restrained by Parasuramaiah's wife's pleadings. Parasuramaiah joins with Bullabbai for vengeance. They stab Gopala Krishna. Radha takes him to the hospital after rescuing him. Gopala Krishna asks Radha about her past. Radha was a simple girl when her mother became terminally ill. Bullabbai exploited her situation and made her come to the village with him. He wishes to make her his mistress, but she has put him off while searching for a way out of his clutch. Gopala Krishna decides to marry Radha so that he can protect her from her tormentor. Whereat, Parasuramaiah's wife, reforms her husband after soul-searching and accepts Satyavati's love. Bullabai attacks Gopala Krishna & Radha when the public slaughters him in the skirmish. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the union of Gopala Krishna & Radha, with Satyavati sacrificing her love.
