[edit]Zamindar Narayana Rao has two daughters, Roopa & Tara, who are fascinated by dance. Narayana Rao constructs a theatre and affiliates renowned teachers from the country. Nagabhushnam is the manager of Narayana Rao, who has two sons, Rama Krishna & Gopal. Once Ramu throws Roopa from the staircase when, she becomes disabled. Here, enraged Narayana Rao guns on Ramu, and he falls into the river. Right now, Narayana Rao conceals ahead, entrusting his property to Nagabhushnam. Exploiting it, Nagabhushnam grabs the authority, leaving Roopa & Tara as orphans. Years roll by, and Roopa strives hard and takes care of Tara. Ramu returns as a burglar, Krishna. At present, he recognizes everyone but hides his identity, is acquainted with Roopa, and loves her. Following, he steals a necklace from Nagabhushanam and bestows it to Roopa, but unfortunately, she is accused when Krishna affirms his actuality. At that moment, Roopa loathes him and charges to be discarded from her life.
Meanwhile, Gopal & Tara fall for each other when Nagabhushanam warns Roopa and apart Gopal. By this time, Krishna rescues Tara from suicide and assures her to knit with Gopal. Parallelly, Krishna is determined to relieve Roopa from her disability, so he picks up the help of his friend Appanna. To raise the funds, he thefts at Nagabhushanam's residence. Whereat, Nagabhushanam senses him as a split-up son and files a case until Roopa turns normal and repents, learning about Krishna's daring act. Besides, Krishna schemes to wedlock Gopal & Tara; when to seize him, the Police conduct a dance performance of Roopa, to which she too agrees, provided Nagabhuashanam should acquit Krishna. Now, wanderer Narayana Rao also arrives to program Krishna in disguise. Soon after, he leaps, accomplishes the nuptials of Gopal & Tara, and surrenders. Just before, everyone lands when Krishna is recognized as Ramu by the tattoo on his arm. At last, Nagabhuashanam pleads pardon from Narayana Rao and pays back his property, which he delegates to Ramu. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Rama Krishna & Roopa.
