Plot
Raja Jagapathi Rayudu, Zamindar of Rangapuram, before dying, hands over his sons Ramu & Krishna to his sisters Chukamma (Suryakantham) & Sheshamma (Hemalatha). Sheshamma is innocent while Chukkamma is ill and money-minded who wants to grab the entire property. So, she plans along with her distant relative Bhushanam (Nagabhusham) to kill the boys. Fortunately, the boys were saved by Chukkamma’s husband Venkata Ramaiah (Relangi), who lands them in an orphanage. After 20 years, Ramu (N. T. Rama Rao) becomes a mechanic and educating his brother Krishna (Krishna). Unknowing, Sheshamma daughter Janaki (Devika) and Chukkamma daughter Radha (Jayalalitha) stay in the same town. Ramu loves Janaki and Krishna loves Radha. At Rangapuram Chukkamma is enjoying the property and Bhusnanam becomes president of the village who plans to make his son Raju’s (Raja Babu) marriage with Radha. Bhushanam comes to know regarding the love affair of Radha & Krishna, so he beats Krishna before everyone. In anger for that, Ramu rushes towards Bhushanam, tries to kill him, but stops on seeing the picture of orphanage home founder Jagapathi Rayudu. Ramu tells Swamiji (Chittoor V. Nagaiah) the orphanage head regarding the picture he reveals that they are children of Jagapathi Rayudu. Now Ramu & Krishna reach Rangapuram in disguise, see the end of Bhushanam and teach a lesson to Chukkamma.
