Plot
The film begins in the village Krishnapuram where Krishna Babu is its arbitrator whose word is an ordinance. He resides along with his maternal uncle Chandraiah and endears a girl Rama, the daughter of the headmaster of the village. Sarvarayudu the vicious step-maternal uncle of Krishna, holds a family feud as he bars his violations. Krishna's sibling Vijay studies in the city and falls for his colleague Shilpa. Meantime, Krishna & Rama get engaged when Rama's uncle a jailor states Krishna is a homicide. Now Krishna Babu spins back, his father is Zamindar of the village, who maintains an adulterous fling with a sly in his house. They have a progeny also i.e., Vijay whom Krishna Babu treats as his own. Sarvarayudu is the brother of the other lady who ploys to slay Krishna's mother by poisoning. Tragically, Krishna's father dies when he is incriminated and sentenced. It leads to his mother's death. Later, Sarvarayudu kills his sister, and Vijay becomes an orphan when Krishna entrusts his responsibility to Chandraiah. After 14 years, he backs to his village to take the reins of the kind-hearted leader by winning the goodwill of the village. Being aware of it, everyone bows down to his righteousness and the engagement succeeds. Anyhow, enraged Sarvarayudu abducts Rama, and in that brawl, Krishna accidentally kills Rama. Currently, he is behind bars again for 7 years. Krishna decides to send Vijay abroad for higher studies. Before departure, he explains to Shilpa his present state and they break up. During this period, Krishna's ex-warden often meets him who is non-else Shilpa's father. Time passes, and Krishna is acquitted when he comes across his ex-warden on his deathbed who assigns Shilpa's responsibility to him. Hence, Shilpa accompanies Krishna to the village. Since he is mentally wrought with the agony of struggles, Shilpa consoles and recoups Krishna with a smile by helping him to regain the composure of an earlier. However, the village starts questioning their relationship when they decide to knit on the request of Chandraiah. At that point, Vijay returns startled by spotting Shilpa as the bride, and quiets. Parallelly, Vijay's friends arrive at the wedding and reveal the truth to Krishna. Finally, the movie ends with Krishna Babu uniting Vijay & Shilpa, eliminating Sarvarayudu, and surrendering himself thrice.
