Plot

The film begins in a village where Dharma Rao is a tyrant. Ramu is a well-informed youth who toils to enhance a more significant life and establishes a union. Plus, he impedes the enormities of Dharma Rao, his place where animosity arises. Meanwhile, Aruna, the nephew of Dharma Rao, backs accomplishing her education and endears Ramu, adoring his ideologies—however, Dharma Rao ruses to knit her with his debauch sibling Satyam to usurp the wealth. Ramu competes in the elections as backed by the village, but in vain since Dharma Rao prevails with his financial strength. He forges Ramu as an impostor for furtively espousing a girl named Lakshmi, but Aruna trusts him. Following, the blackguards slay her and incriminate Ramu. Further, Satyam molests his sister Tulasi, and she kills herself. In prison, Ramu befriends Lottery Babu & Race Raju. Once, Lottery segregates four tickets to his mates, and Ramu triumphs. Afterward, Race Raju & Lottery started a business on Ramu's behalf, which summits. Years roll by, and Ramu acquits when Race Raju & Lottery entrust the wealth to Ramu, which he refuses. Anyhow, Ramu enrages & avenges society by being aware of worse being harmed and aims to teach a lesson. So, he lands at the village as a straw man and moves knaves at his fingertips when Aruna hostilities him. Parallelly, Ramu provides an excellent deal for the town by creating a rift between the lowlifes and ceasing them by divulging their evils. At last, Ramu proclaims, A human should control the money, but not be a puppet in its hand, when Aruna actualizes his virtue. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Ramu & Aruna.
