Plot
[edit]The film begins with a ruffian, Naagulu, who resides in a labor colony where two charming girls, Rathalu & Taayaru, run tea stalls competitively and always squabble. Rathalu loves Naagulu, but he falls for Taayaru, and she does not reciprocate. Once, Naagulu spots a frustrated, unemployed guy, Murali, committing suicide since he is failing to feel his mother, Mahalakshmi, who strived hard for him. Naagulu shelters Murali when Taayaru starts endearing him. Knowing it, enraged Naagulu smacks & expels Murali and moves to Taayaru, where he gets her true heartstrings. Parallelly, he comprehends Rathalu's adoration and accepts her. Meanwhile, Murali approaches an Advocate for a post who identifies him as the late Zamindar Tyagaraju's heir, and his entire wealth is under the guardianship of their venomous Manager, Venkatesam. Being conscious of it, Venkatesam collapses & ploys by molding Murali into a debauch. Naagulu walks to Murali with Taarayu, who suspects them, and necks out. So, he seizes and reforms him. Unfortunately, Naagulu is backstabbed by Venkatesam's men when Mahalakshmi secures and detects him as her elder son, who was lost in childhood. Eventually, he also recollects Venkatesam as his father's homicide and outrages. By that time, Venkatesam takes Murali & Mahalakshmi into custody. At last, Naagulu safeguards them and ceases the baddies. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriages of Naagulu & Rathalu and Murali & Taayaru.
