Plot
[edit]Dr. Chakravarthy is a foremost surgeon in India. He knits benevolent Kamala without the acceptance of his elders. So, she faces the music, but Chakravarthy leads a joyful life with her & a lovely daughter, Jyothi. Suddenly, Kamala disappears with Jyothi when Chakrakarthy's family affirms she has eloped. Distressed, Chakravarthy loses his memory in an accident. Years roll by, and Chakravarthy, as a wanderer, reaches a village where he spots its head. Bapaiah's son, Seenu, has been paralyzed. Soon, Chakravarthy regains his surgical knowledge and rudely makes him normal via an operation. Following this, Bapaiah established a hospital with Chakravarthy to service the needy, who envied local doctor Govindaraju. The wheel fortune brings Kamala & Jyothi nearer to Chakravarthy, but he cannot recognize them. Parallelly, a love story runs: Jyothi loves her colleague Narendra, and Kamala moves with the proposal. Surprisingly, it is revealed at that juncture that Narendra is Chakravarthy's nephew, and his elders denounce Kamala. Jyothi, too, believes it and is about to quit when Kamala meets with an accident and narrates the past. Once Chakravarthy embarks to operate a politician to bar him, the opposition leader abducts Kamala. Irrespective of it, Chakravarthy attains his duty when he molests Kamala, for which she is discarded. At present, Kamala is ailing. Jyothi seeks Chakrakarthy's help, and she departs after watching him. Here, Chakravarthy performs her funeral unbeknownst. Later, he promises to splice Narendra & Jyothi. During this, Nani, who lusts for Jyothi, strikes Narendra. Nani is injured, and Chakravarthy treats him. Exploiting it, Govindraju kills Nani when Chakravarthy is seized and prosecuted. Right now, the court refers the case to the medical board when Dr. Siva Prasad, the disciple of Chakravarthy, recognizes and retrieves his memory.
