Plot

Dr. Gopi Krishna (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) is a happy-go-lucky man with several girlfriends. He is the grandson of Zamindar Raja Raghavendra Bahadoor (Nagabhushanam). Annapurna (Vanisri) stays at Gopi's house and takes care of them. Since childhood, Gopi and Annapurna have been squabbling constantly. Gopi goes abroad for higher studies. Meanwhile, his grandfather passes away after wishing that Gopi and Annapurna get married. Gopi gets angry after learning of this and accuses Annapurna of being greedy. Annapurna renounces the wealth and leaves the house. Gopi realizes her worth, brings her back and they get married. Soon they are blessed with a baby boy Raja. One day, Annapurna spots Gopi with his ex-girlfriend Krishna (Vijayalalitha). She misunderstands them. In reality, Gopi is treating Krishna's ailing daughter. One night, Krishna calls Gopi as there is a medical emergency with her daughter. Annapurna does not tell her husband of this and it results in the death of Krishna's child. This causes a rift between Gopi and Annapurna. A pregnant Annapurna moves out with Gopi keeping Raja with himself. Soon, she gives birth to another son, Mohan. Raja (G. V. Narayana Rao) is brought up by his father in luxury, whereas Mohan (Lakshmikanth) becomes a meritorious student with Annapurna's guidance. Eventually, both brothers start working in the same company and become good friends. They marry their respective girlfriends Geeta (Sangeeta) and Rani (Roja Ramani). Gopi and Annapurna meet but their ego does not let them reconcile. The children start neglecting the parents and give more attention to their wives. Gopi and Annapurna realize their folly in abandoning each other's company. They reconcile. Their children also beg for their forgiveness and the movie ends on a happy note.
