==Plot==
The film begins in a village, where a wealthy couple, Ganapathi (Chadalavada) & Rangamma (Kannamba) has a son Krishna (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) and a daughter Swarajyam (Suryakala). Virago Rangamma maintains the household and scorns the step-son Krishna. Krishna falls for his childhood friend Radha (Anjali Devi), daughter of school teacher Ramaiah (Perumallu). Learning it, Ramaiah moves with the wedding proposal when Rangamma desires Rs. 10,000 of dowry. So, Ramaiah approaches malicious President Kondaiah (Gummadi), one that tramples the villagers by providing loans. Ramaiah mortgages his property and acquires the amount. But, Kondaiah aspires to possess Radha, so, he steals the dowry amount which makes avaricious Rangamma cancel the match. During that plight, Ramaiah agrees to couple up Radha with Kondaiah when Radha attempts suicide. Krishna rescues and marries her, as a result, he has to quit the house. At the same time, Lokanadham (Relangi) a stage artist traps Rangamma, intrudes into their house, and weds Swarajyam. Ramaiah passes away and Kondaiah seizes his property. Krishna establishes a school & Cooperative Bank in the village and ameliorates the lifestyles of the destitute, which irks Kondaiah. Eventually, Ganapathi becomes terminally ill when Rangamma transfers the property on her behalf by the provocation of Lokhanadham. After the death of Ganapathi, Rangamma excludes Krishna from the property. Soon after, Lokhanadham forges and pawns the property to Kondaiah. Immediately, Kondaiah occupies it when Rangamma obstructs his way, but she is forsaken. At that time, Krishna & Radha aids her, drive the blackguards out, and reforms Lokhanadham. At last, Rangamma realizes the virtue of Krishna & Radha. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the reunion of the entire family.
