Plot

[edit]

Zamindar Kantha Rao is a widower with 4 progenies, the elder Shekar, civilizing B.A. Once, he walked on to an excursion when his friend Mohan was ailing. So, he immediately shifted to a nearby naturopathy ashram in the care of Nannagaru, where Sarada, a woman of integrity & ideologies, secures him. In her acquaintance, Shekar is glad and endears her. Therein, he also meets Ganapati, the son of his maternal uncle, Mukunda Rao. Indeed, Mukunda Rao resides with his virago wife, Seshamma, and daughter, Sarala. Ganapati is vexed by his shrew mother and joined here. Besides, Sarala deeply loves Shekar since childhood, but he does not reciprocate. Now, Shekar gets a chance to travel to China for higher studies. Consequently, he proposes to Sarada, who says she only admires him. Anyhow, she will consider it and reply on his return. Tragically, the flight Shekar was traveling on crashed and was declared dead. Hearing it, Kantha Rao collapses and becomes terminally ill.

Destiny makes Sarada the daughter of Kantha Rao’s peasant Chandraiah. So, she arrives, recoups Kantha Rao, revives his disintegrated family, and showers motherly affection to the infants. To the advice of Chadraiah & Nannagaru Sarada, with complete acceptance of the nuptials Kantha Rao. Meanwhile, Shekar escapes from the death backs, rushes for Sarada to the ashram, and wrecks getting knowledge of her wedlock. Whereat, he berates Sarada & her husband for being unbeknownst when she smacks him. After landing at home, Shekar has a colossal letdown, spotting Sarada as his mother, and regrets his deeds. However, Sarada wholeheartedly accepts him as her son but shattered, Shekar turns into an alcoholic and spoils his health & wealth. Thus, Sarada reforms him with her paternal warmth when Shekar sincerely reveres her as his mother. According to her guidance, he knits Sarala, and she conceives. Later, she is cognizant of their prior familiarity via her mate Sundari Mohan’s sibling. Ergo, the suspicion arises, creates a rift, and makes Shekar quit. Afterward, Sarala affirms the actuality by Mohan & Ganapati, remorseful and suffering under labor, and delivers a baby girl. At last, Sarada sacrifices her life while guarding Sarala, uniting her with Shekar, and recreating the house as a paradise. Finally, the movie ends happily, with them adoring Sarada as the family deity.
