Plot

The film begins at Razole, where Kommalapati Chiranjeevi is a lowbrow laird. Sandhya is a lavish city-bred forcibly knitted with him, considering his silver spoon. Sandhya starts an unwilling derision life with Chiranjeevi, and the two have a son, Viswanath. Slowly, she throws him into bankruptcy for her greed. Chiranjeevi takes up the crisis simply because he thinks his family is ample. After a few years, Vishwanath, a naughty, spirited boy, conducts several mischievous deeds, and Chiranjeevi covers up it since father & son share an enormous, deep bond. As of today, Sandhya acquires a fine job, dumbs her husband, and willy-nilly tries to grab the kid. Like a shot, Chiranjeevi retorts, challenges Sandhya to rear their son better than her, and states that one day, she will discern the values of relations.

Presently, Chiranjeevi lands in the city underdetermination to admit Viswanath to the finest school. At the outset, a scammer swindles him and sticks a lot of dictionaries to him in the name of the business that does not work. He struggles hard and faces many mortifications for the survival of his son. Just like being thrown away from railway platforms because of nonpassengers, kicking out from a wedding ceremony, taking into account uninvited guests, sleeping inside an empty movie theatre, etc. Anyhow, Chiranjeevi thresholds the pain with patience. To keep Viswanath happy, he fictions himself as an undercover CBI officer because he should not know the actuality. Now, Chiranjeevi has succeeded in acquiring a seat in a renowned school, but its fee is very high. The school administration gives him one month to pay it and takes Viswanath.

Hence, Chiranjeevi scrimps and scrounges doing countless works for 20 hours a day, including donating his blood for the money. In that process, once, he rescues a factory when, with an officer's aid, he applies for a fireman post and prepares for it. On the final day, Chiranjeevi triumphs in accumulating the amount, but alas, some goons steal it, which crushes him. Simultaneously, Viswanath meets with an accident and requires a vast amount for survival. So, he flares up on the thugs who robbed him, retrieves his money, and safeguards his son. From there, everything goes while Chiranjeevi pays the fee, intellectually sells all the dictionaries, and gains the fireman job. At last, Sandhya returns after soul-searching. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the family's reunion.
