Plot[edit]
Hari and Shiva Prasad are siblings. One day Shiva accidentally breaks their family photo. Hari beats Shiva and runs away from home. Hari is brought up by a notorious smuggler (Kaikala Satyanarayana). The smuggler changes Hari's name into Shri Krishna which was his deceased son's name. Krishna (Krishnam Raju) grows up to be an immoral man who uses women for his own pleasure. He falls in love with Parvati (Jayasudha), who is his adoptive sister Madhavi's (Madhavi) friend. However, Parvati and Shiva Prasad (Murali Mohan) love each other. When Krishna proposes to Parvati, she refuses. A jealous Krishna attempts to kill Shiva Prasad. He accidentally sees their childhood photo and realizes that Shiva is his own younger brother. He arranges Shiva Prasad and Parvati's marriage. Shiva Prasad comes to know about Krishna's love for Parvati. He misunderstands the situation and starts suspecting Parvati's devotion towards him.
