Plot

Dr. Raghu (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) dedicated his life for his medical profession and runs a cancer hospital. Once Seeta (Savitri) his ex-lover, who was forcibly married to a wise person Ramu (Jaggayya) arrives at his hospital and her husband is diagnosed with cancer and terminally ill. Raghu & Seeta are very much uncomfortable to interact in front of Ramu. Seeta suspects that Raghu will not be able to give proper treatment to Ramu because of his love interest in her. At that point in time, Raghu ensures Radha that he will definitely make Ramu recover. Parallelly, Ramu overhears the conversation, later takes a promise from Seeta that she should marry Raghu after his death. Now Ramu is to undergo major surgery under Raghu which will decide his fate. Here Raghu is seized with a feeling that he can't afford to fail in the surgery as it might seem that he was biased due to Seeta. So, he toils a lot for the preparation without proper food & sleep. At last, the surgery successfully takes place but unfortunately, Raghu dies out to hypertension. Finally, the movie ends Ramu & Seeta constructing a memorial hospital in the name of Raghu.
