Plot

Ravindrababu is a great poet, a lover of nature and arts, and has a peculiar poetic and sensitive mindset. He marries a rustic and simple woman, Parvathi. Her brother Jagannatham is exceptionally fond of his sister. Though Ravindrababu loves Parvathi as a wife, he fails to get inspiration from her as a poet. The couple lacks a good wavelength match. This is when he meets an artist-personified woman, Padma. Her dance skills, expressions, looks, and poetic touch makes Ravindrababu express himself as a poet. Right from then, he transforms into an admirer of Padma. Parvathi feels bad for this, thinking Padma- a woman from a prostitute family has snatched her husband. Jagannatham enters the scene and warns Padma not to disturb Ravindrababu's family. As a result, Ravindrababu gets deeply hurt. He becomes isolated with the fond memories of Padma and explains his grief in a poetic way to nature and clouds (Hence the name Megha Sandesam). He finds Padma and starts living with her while his wife lets him go understanding that he has found his soulmate and decides not to be an obstacle. The film ends with his demise after meeting his wife many years later and expressing his regret for hurting her.
