Plot


The film begins with Chandra, penniless, heading with medicines for her ailing mother. On the way, a goon clutches her when a genuine Satyam guards her. Before leaving her breath, Chandra's mother entrusts her responsibility to him. So, he shelters her when the public denounces them. Hence, Satyam knits Chandra, to whom he forges as a worker in the Ratan Mahal estate. Startlingly, he turns to Anand, its proprietor, with a daughter, Rani, and his wife, Lalitha, a lunatic at the asylum. Besides, Anand is hunting for Raju, a murderous thug, with his acolyte Chakram. Time passed, Chandra gave birth to a baby boy, and Lalitha recouped. However, the doctor advises Anand about Lalitha's brittleness and that she cannot cope with any shock. Destiny makes Lalitha & Chandra near and gets knowledge of the two. Once, Chandra rushes to Ratan Mahal as her child is terminally ill, and she is under revelation spotting her husband's play. Chandra accuses him, which blackouts Lalitha, and Anand / Satyam discards Chandra to secure her. Following, Chandra's kid dies, and she quits. Later, Anand proceeds to Bangalore with his family to get hold of Raju. Therein, Anand receives a call from Chakram regarding Raju's whereabouts, which Lalitha misinterprets, faints, and admits. Anand is stunned to view Chandra as the nurse, and he seeks to divulge that she has deaf ears. On the verge of Anand's mission, Raju abducts Lalitha & Rani, but he shields them, and the blackguard is apprehended. As a flabbergast, the original Anand appears at the trail and rearwards. At one time, Anand & Lalitha are saved by his doppelganger, Satyam, in a car accident when Lalitha becomes unconscious, and Anand walks to a doctor. On the way, his ex-girlfriend Mala hinders and demands a heavy ransom. At which, Raju shot her dead and incriminated Anand. Here, Anand asks Satyam to replace him in his family's defense, which he accepts and maintains secrecy. At last, the judiciary acquits Anand as guiltless and sentences Raju. Finally, the movie ends happily, with Anand & Satyam living together.
