Plot

The film begins with an ideal couple, Raghava Rao & Lalitha, blessed with two children, Shekar & Lakshmi. Since they have knitted without the approval of Lalitha's father, advocate Pratap Rao, he hostiles them. Parallelly, Raghava works in a firm owned by Bhupati, where he unfolds the scam of his brother-in-law, General Manager Satyam. Discerning it, Bhupati switches Raghava Rao as a substitute for Satyam, which begrudges him. Raghava Rao is in high society, which compels him to drink, leading to family conflicts.

Meanwhile, Satyam maintains an affair with secretary Nalini, whom her illiterate cousin Chandram endears, and she belittles him. As of now, Nalini conceives and pressurizes Satyam to espouse. Hence, he slays her and incriminates Raghava Rao. Though Chandram witnesses it, he is feeble as dumb. Lingam, Satyam's henchman, catches a photograph of the crime and clutches him. Currently, Pratap Rao sentences life to Raghava Rao. Lalitha, who affirms her husband as a convict, quits and joins as a tutor at a college, where its principal, Raja Rao, nurtures her as a sister.

Years roll by, and Raghava Rao acquits, unbeknownst, joins as a gardener at Raja Rao's residence and spots Lalitha. Anyhow, he hides his identity until he proves non-guilty. Besides, Shekar loves Raja Rao's daughter Saroja and Lakshmi with Bhupati's son Gopi. Once Raghava Rao meets his jailmate Dara, who works for Satyam, he comes across Chandram, whom he nourishes. Parallelly, Bhupati gazes at the defraud of Satyam & Lingam, so they ruse to slaughter him. Satyam moves to Dara when he recognizes Chandram and gets him knocked down. Before dying, he retrieves his voice and reveals the actuality to Raghava Rao. At last, Raghava Rao, disguised as Singapore Rowdy Bhakra, ceases Bhupathi. Finally, the movie ends happily with the family's reunion.
