Plot
Chakravarthy, a musician, loves a beautiful girl Kalyani, the daughter of a millionaire Gopal Rao. Just before their marriage, an unforeseen situation arises, Chakravarthy meets his Master who brought him up. At that moment, he learns that Master's only daughter Gowri has become mentally sick as her father is unable to perform her marriage. To protect her, Master requests Chakravarthy to tell a lie that he is going to marry her, and to show his gratitude he does so. Afterward, Master realises that Chakravarthy's alliance is already fixed, so, he pleads with Kalyani to save his daughter when she too convinces Chakravarthy and makes him marry Gowri. Thereafter, Chakravarthy also performs Kalyani's marriage with a rich person Ranganath. Years roll by, the Chakravarthy couple is blessed with 2 children but unfortunately, Gowri is a vainglory woman who nags her husband and ill-treats everyone. Meanwhile, Chakravarthy spots Kalyani on the streets with a child when he finds out that Ranganath has abandoned her as Gopal Rao is bankrupt. At present, Chakravarthy gives her shelter which leads to several disputes & misunderstandings in his family. Here Gowri attributes the illicit relation between Chakravarthy & Kalyani when Kalyani leaves the house. Being aware of it, angered Chakravarthy chides Gowri and reveals the truth. Knowing it, eccentric Gowri too leaves the house as her husband does not have any love towards her except courtesy. On the other side, disturbed Kalyani commits suicide when Chakravarthy makes Gowri realise her mistake. Finally, the movie ends, Gowri asking for forgiveness and the couple adopting Kalyani's child.
