One day, Jyothi discovers that she has a family—Suryanarayana, her alcoholic father, and his benevolent wife, Savitri. The couple already has two daughters, Lalitha and Vani. Suyarnarayana always subjected Savitri to oppression for continuously giving birth to baby girls, for which he admitted Jyothi to the asylum. Now, Jyothi proceeds toward her father and coercively hangs with him. Subsequently, she takes on household responsibilities and boosts her sisters' courage to strive for their goals. Years roll by, and Jyothi toils and molds her sisters. Lalitha became well-educated and worked as a schoolteacher, whereas Vani was a famous local singer. About which Suryanarayana is unbeknownst.
