Plot


Babu is an orphan and a rickshaw puller. He loses the only person he has ever loved, the lunch girl Kannamma, and gives up on life. Once, he meets Sankar, who takes him to his house, gives him his new clothes as he is in impoverished state and lets his daughter eat with him on the same plate without any regards to his appearance or class. Babu becomes indebted to the family for life. Sankar dies and Babu takes it upon himself to fulfil the dreams of Sankar, making Ammu a graduate.
With the usual troubles of society miscasting the relationship between Parvathi and Babu, things get worse when Ammu falls in love with Prem affecting her education. She realises the truth soon and starts focusing on her education. Finally, when time comes for marriage between rich Prem and educated Ammu, Babu wants to stay away for he does not want the stigma of being brought up by a poor uneducated rickshaw associated with her. Ammu, Parvathi, Prem and Vedhachalam, millionaire father of Prem, insist on his presence and with the threat of calling off the marriage, he relents.
