Plot

The film begins in a town where two spurious people, Mukundam, an advocate, and his brother-in-law Bhupati, undertake the malfeasance wisely. Raju is a rickshaw driver and a labor union leader whom his entire colony endears. He constantly antagonizes the misdeeds of Mukundam & Bhupati and squabbles with Rani, the daughter of Bhupati; however, they later fall in love. Being aware of it, Bhupati checks Raju's record, which identifies him as the son of Parvati, the wife of their henchman Kannaiah, who is currently in prison. Hence, the malefactor's subterfuge acquits Kannaiah when he assaults Parvati and sullies her chastity. Parvati also confirms that Raju was born in Kannaiah's absence. Upon knowing this, Raju breaks down. After a while, upon the goading of Mukundam, Kannaiah assaults Raju when Parvati is injured.
