Plot

The film begins with a prisoner, Chandram, who is at the central jail as a homicide. Once, a psychology student, Anuradha, visited therein and became acquainted with Chandram. Anuradha likes his ideologies and seeks the reason behind his crime. Then, he narrates the past. Chandram dotes upon his sibling Lakshmi and knits her with his bestie Shankar. Once, Shankar's friend Chalapati tries to molest Lakshmi when the quarrel ensues into the death of Chalapati by Chandram, and he is sentenced. At present, Chandram & Anuradha fall in love, which her father Ramanandham, an honorable, also accepts. However, Prasad, his nephew, envies as he allures Anuradha. Besides, Bhujangam a dreadful thug performs terrible burglaries and anti-social activities which creates mayhem in the country. Due to misfortune, Bhujangam lays hold of Shankar via his girlfriend, Roja. Self-centered Shankar neglects Lakshmi and treats her as a slave. Prasad, too, is one of his acolytes who turns out to be a swindler, and Bhujangam slaughters him. Here, unfortunately, Ramanandam is incriminated. Meanwhile, Chandram acquits and realizes the rift in Lakshmi's life and that Bhujangam snares Shankar. Now, Chandram forges himself as a notorious Dorababu and hinders Bhujangam. Discerning his caliber, Bhujangam appoints him as a white knight. Eventually, Anuradha joins the gang to make her father free from guilt. At last, Dorababu gamely tricks, reforms Shankar, proves the Ramanandam as non-guilty, and ceases Bhujangam. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Chandram & Anuradha.
