Plot

[edit]

Gopi is a simple and self-respecting guy who runs a watch-repair shop in his hometown. He loves his neighbor Anjali, who lives with her elder sisters Aswini & Aruna and their grandmother. Anjali is the family's only breadwinner, and their stepbrother, Raghu, vexes them. Gopi & Anjali run into each other a few times, and they fall in love and would love to be together. However, Anjali hesitates due to her unmarried elder siblings. At that point, Gopi takes up her responsibilities and performs dumb Aswini's nuptial with his mate Brahmaji. Next, he learns about Aruna's love affair with a guy, Ravindra, but his greedy mother seeks a 1 lakh dowry. Hence, Gopi sells his business and liens his self-respect by accepting a job proposal from shop owner Tatabbai. Just before the wedding, unfortunately, Raghu steals the ornaments. In that quarrel, Gopi accidentally kills Raghu. Right now, Gopi and Anjali encounter many difficulties in completing marriage by hiding the truth. Soon after, Gopi surrenders to the Police and is sentenced to 5 years. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note, with Gopi returning and Anjali giving him a warm welcome.
