Plot

Sambayya (Chiranjeevi), a humble cobbler, is devoted to raising his late sister's son, Chinna (played by Arjun/Sirish), while also supporting the education of the orphaned Sarada (Sumalatha), on whom he has a quiet crush and hopes to marry someday.

However, circumstances take a different turn when Sarada marries Bhaskar (Sarvadaman Banerjee). Meanwhile, Ganga (Vijayashanti), who has long harbored feelings for Sambayya, undergoes a tubectomy to prove her commitment to being a devoted mother to Chinna, ensuring that her focus remains solely on their family. Despite initial hardships, Ganga and Sambayya start a shoe business, which flourishes, bringing them wealth.

Trouble arises when Chinna's estranged father, Govind (Charan Raj), a criminal freshly out of prison, returns and joins forces with Ganga's unscrupulous father to make demands on Sambayya, including claiming guardianship of Chinna.

In the end, Chinna defies his father, choosing to stay with Sambayya. Together, they return to their humble roots, resuming Sambayya's original profession as a cobbler.
