Plot

Zamindar Vijaya Narasimha Rayalu is unbalanced due to the decease of his beloved wife, Parvati, who aspires that his elder one, Bhaskar, an artist, should nuptial a woman replicable to his wife. Bhaskar also intends to wedlock a splendid bluestocking beauty. However, Dasaratha Ramaiah, the sly brother-in-law of Zamindar, stands to usurp their wealth. So, he ruses by fixing Bhaskar's alliance with a dark complexion, Kalyani. Yet Bhaskar knits Kalyani with sympathy, though it comes to the fore before the wedding. Initially, the Zamindar & Bhaskar are half-hearted towards Kalyani. She wins their affinity with her benevolence and showers motherly hugs on the younger Chandram. Besides, Chandram falls for Kalyani's sibling, Malathi.

Meanwhile, when Bhaskar discerns her as illiterate, Kalyani conceives when he scolds her, and tragically, she goes into a miscarriage. Now, Kalyani is bent on being civilized and requests Chandram to be her tutor at night. Afterward, Bhaskar proceeds to the national competitions when Dasaratha Ramaiah abuses the illicit relationship between Chandram & Kalyani and makes them out. In Delhi, Bhaskar encounters his childhood friend Mohan, who reveals his beautiful, ditched wife. Then, Bhaskar awakens to the fact that virtue is more remarkable than beauty. After returning, he hears the dilemma, which he gives no credence and quits. Driven by this, Zamindar sinks when Dasaratha Ramaiah wiles to snatch the property. In time, Kalyani arrives and breaks out his foul play; Zamindar senses Kalyani's nobility. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the family's reunion with the marriage of Chandram & Malathi.
