Plot

The film begins with Ravi, a poet who suffers from impoverishment. Indeed, in childhood, Ravi detached from his elder sister, Seeta & younger brother, Madhu. Now, he cannot pay the house rent, which he hides from his house owner, Perumalaiah, and his solicit source is his mate, Shekar. Perumalaiah lives with his wife Aandallu & son Kavi Kulashekara, but sadly, their daughter Amrutha has eloped. One night, a woman, Manjula, while escaping from the Police, lands in Ravi's room, whom all assume she is his wife. From there, a strange relation arises between them. Manjula publishes his literary work and molds him into a famous poet when Ravi loves her. Tragically, Seeta grows up as a courtesan as Mumtaz rears Madhu without revealing her profession. Later, Manjula Suddenly disappears, and Ravi becomes an alcoholic and forwards to Mehdi, where Mumtaz recognizes him but remains silent.
Meanwhile, Kavi Kulashekara felicitates Ravi, to which Murthy, an industrialist, visits as a chief guest when Ravi is startled to view Manjula as his wife. Forthwith, she approaches Ravi, who seeks the actuality, and she replies. Manjula is the granddaughter of a tycoon, Parandhamaiah, for whom Murthy is the manager, who acquires his faith and knits her. Soon after, Manjula discerned his hellish hue of hoodwinking a girl, none other than Amurtha. Moreover, she spots his attempt to slay Amurtha, whom Shekar protects. Hence, she evaded and took shelter at Ravi, and her excuse for returning was Parandhamaiah's death. Ravi & Manjula affirm to provide Amutha justice by straightening Murthy and finding her whereabouts at Shekar. Parallelly, Manjula's younger, Sarala, loves Madhu, and the two know Seeta / Mumtaz's dark shade. Yet, he comprehends her virtue, but Sarala denounces him, which makes Madhu furious, and Murthy provokes it. Both ruse to blast Manjula's factory, which Ravi hinders. Thereupon, Mumtaz lands and unveils them as siblings, while Amrutha guards Murthy from harm when he is regretful. At last, Murthy accepts Amrutha, divorcing Manjula. Ravi pairs Madhu & Sarala. Finally, the movie ends happily with Ravi continuing his journey with Manjula's company.
