Plot

The film begins with an ideal couple, Raja Shekaram & Lalitha, who completed 15 years of marital life. Once they learn that their intimate insider, Gopalam, is distressed about his daughter Rekha. A vainglory refuses to marry for the pampering of paternal uncle Major Narasimham, who resides in Hyderabad. At Present, Raja Shekaram & Lalitha live in Hyderabad and play as unmarried individuals. Lalitha was accommodated at Narasimham's house with the help of Gopalam, and Raja Shekaram joined as a tenant in their opposite house. Raja Shekaram is acquainted with a Rikshawala Kishtaiah who silently loves Rekha. The couple senses it and succeeds in uniting him with Rekha by pretending to be lovers. Just after, as a flabbergast, a woman, Radha, arrives, claiming herself as Raja Shekaram's wife with complete pieces of evidence. Thereupon, Raja Shekaram attempts to falsify her but fails, and Lalitha believes in it, too. Parallelly, Radha struggles to get near Raja Shekaram, but he denies her when she is traumatized. So, Raja Shekaram plans to show affection toward her and moves on a tour. Being conscious of it, Lalitha divulges that nobody admits and considers her mad. Meanwhile, Raja Shekaram makes Radha normal when he surprisingly discovers her as Kistaiah's sister. Immediately, Raja Shekaram backs up with Gopalam, breaks out the fact, and seeks Kishtaiah to find the reason behind his deed. Then, he starts narrating the past. Radha has been wedlock to Raja Shekaram, one identical to this Raja Shekaram, without knowledge of Kishtaiah. Unfortunately, Radha's husband died in an accident. Since Radha's condition is brittle, Kishtaiah must bid the act to protect her. Besides, Lalitha steps to commit suicide. At last, they save her and affirm the actuality. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Kishtaiah & Rekha.
