Plot

Ranga, an orphan, is raised by a millionaire Dharma Rao whom he endears more than his own, and they share a bond beyond. Ranga loves and knits a girl Mahalakshmi. Narasimham & Giri are the vicious Dharma Rao's relatives who ruse to usurp his wealth when Ranga shields him at every level. Meanwhile, Dharma Rao's son Vijay backs from abroad with his family when Dharma Rao entrusts the totality to him but cannot take the dominance and prioritization of Ranga. Moreover, the knaves snare him by knaves, and he affronts Ranga, which Dharma Rao is unable to tolerate. Hence, between two fires, he expels Ranga but turns melancholy to his detachment. Exploiting it, Narasimham & Giri slaughtering Vijay & his wife Sarada incriminates Ranga, and their child, who witnessed the crime, flees. Now the court sentences life Ranga. Plus, the barbaric addict slowly poisons Dharma Rao and acquires authority. Being aware of it, Ranga absconds and, in disguise, safeguards Dharma Rao & his grandson, proving non-guilty and ceasing the baddies. Finally, the movie ends happily with a family reunion.
