Plot

The film is based on the concept of reincarnation. It begins with Devadas taking his last breath in front of Parvati's residence. She rushes towards the closed door and collapses. Years roll by, and Aruna, a naughty girl, brings up her sister & brother-in-law, who have reflections every night. After a medical checkup, Aruna proclaims that a stranger is calling & taking her far away, but she can't detect him. Sridhar, a young charming & famous singer, is the son of Zamindar Sripathi Raja. He falls for their manager, Maruti Rao's daughter, Shanti. Knowing it, Sripati rebukes him when Sridhar affirms his decision to tie the knot with Shanti. Thereupon, his father shows the danger of suicide, yet Sridhar stands bolder and exits. On the move-in train, Aruna, too, fortuitously boards when she blackouts. Soon, he admits her to the hospital and proceeds.
