Plot
[edit]Joga Rao, a leading advocate, lives with his wife, Parvati, and their two children, Raju & Shankar. Once, Raju moves to their village, where he falls for Shanta. Meanwhile, Parvati desires to knit Raju with a naive girl than her civilized niece Kamala. So, she proceeds to the village when Raju backs, and she only fixes his alliance with Shanta. Being unbeknownst to it, Raju denies it and seeks his father's aid. Joga Rao schemes to flee from the wedding venue, and he designs Shankar as the bridegroom. Overhearing it, Shankar forthwith fuses his love interest, Bala. On the day of the nuptials, everybody gossips and absconds. Here, Shanta's father pleads with Joga Rao, and Shanta's stepmother creates annoyance, so Joga Rao splices Shanta with an electrical engineer he raised. Shanta faints, viewing an unknown tying the knot, and attempts suicide. The bridegroom shields her and assures her she will unite with Raju. As of a sudden, he dies by being electrocuted under his work. The rest of the story concerns whether Raju returns and conjoins Shanta and what happens in their lives.
