Plot
editThe film begins in a village where Pattabi Ramaiah paterfamilias to a conjoined joint family consisting of his spouse, Soubhagyam, obedient brother Sundara Ramaiah, and his wife, Ramanamma. Pattabi Ramaiah's couple is childless, whereas Sundara Ramaiah has two sons. The first is Kistaiah, a callow paralyzed due to current shock at 7, and the younger Raghu, to obtain a degree at the town. Since Soubhagyam is a shrew & green-eyed, she always scorns Sundara Ramaiah's family and scatters the home. Ramanamma shelters a benevolent orphan, Radha, as a maid who wins everyone's hearts and sincerely serves Kistaiah.
Meanwhile, Rangoon Raja, a vicious nephew of Soubhagyam who conducts confidence games, intrudes in the house with his sibling Janaki. From there, a rift arises, which puts the family in a bind of detachment. Raghu falls into a daze of Janaki's love and knits her by cutting cords with his parents. Later, the Sundara Ramaiah couple aspires to perform the Kishtaiah's nuptial, which he denies because of his disability. Therein, Radha expresses her adoration for him, and they are tied. Raghu acquires a fine job and proceeds to the city. Raja lures his aunt to lend the amount as collateral for the property. Now, he started a grand circus show in the town, mingling sly old mates Anarkali & her mother, Manju. He also incites Raghu to pilfer office money.
Time passes, and Radha & Janaki deliver baby boys. After that, Kistaiah moves to the same town with Radha for treatment. Besides, Raja bankrupts the family, and Anarkali & Manju flee with the profits. Then, Raghu, Janaki, & Soubhagyam slowly reformed. As a last-ditch choice, Raja plans a dangerous feat of "elephant & kid," for which he abducts Kistaiah's baby. At last, everyone lands at the circus, where Kishtaiah recoups via a current stock and forgives all, including Raja, who transforms. Even Anarkali & Manju are caught. Finally, the movie ends happily with a reunion of the family.
