Plot

Harischandra Prasad (Venkatesh), the arbitrator and most respected person in a village, sees to it that all the people live happily. He has a strong enmity to Singaraju Lingaraju (Anand Raj) and vice versa. He is the only opponent to him in the village. Harischandra has a big family with his wife Vasundhara (Radhika), three sons Ravi Prasad (Vinod), Divakar Prasad (Maharshi Raghava) and Bhanu Prasad (Venkatesh), a daughter Shanti, two daughters-in-law, and two granddaughters. Harischandra hates his third son Bhanu, but Bhanu is a devoted and benevolent son to his father. Bhanu has to do menial household work and has virtually no relationships with his family, with the exception of his mother.

Swapna (Meena) arrives for her brother's wedding to Bhanu's sister. In the beginning, she thinks Bhanu is a servant and looks down on him. After some time, she knows the fact and asks Bhanu's friend Nukaraju (Sudhakar) about Bhanu's life, when he reveals Bhanu's past. As a child, Bhanu was poor in studies to the extent that he remained illiterate, which is why Harischandra Prasad dislikes him. He falls in love with Madhavi (Sanghavi). Without Madhavi's consent, the wedding is fixed with Harischandra Prasad's approval. Prior to the wedding, Madhavi attempts suicide to escape from being married to Bhanu, as she did not want to unite with an illiterate man. To prevent any misunderstandings, Bhanu declared that he was not interested in Madhavi and earned his father's wrath. After listening to Bhanu's story, Swapna falls in love with him. Even though Bhanu isn't interested initially, eventually he accepts her love.

Meanwhile, Singaraju makes a plan to have Swapna marry his son. Swapna's parents, particularly her mother, accept the proposal. However, Swapna declares her love for Bhanu and tells Bhanu to marry her or else she will commit suicide. Her wedding is fixed, but Bhanu crashes the wedding and takes Swapna, and marries her. Both of them return, much to the rage of both's parents. Harischandra Prasad banishes Bhanu from the house and he and Swapna start living in the village outskirts. Incidentally they come across Madhavi, who insults their lifestyle, so Bhanu decides to grow up and prove himself. He declares that he will make Swapna an IAS officer. Swapna teaches him reading, writing, and some arithmetic, while she pursues her own, I.A.S. studies. In due of time with hard work, Bhanu Prasad gradually becomes one of the biggest businessmen in town and Swapna the District Collector. They have a fine young son, Junior Harischandra Prasad (Master Anand Vardhan). At one point, Madhavi requests Bhanu to allow her husband to work in his factory, as his business is under loss, which Bhanu agrees to. Swapna explains to Madhavi true humility and how Bhanu worked hard.

Harischandra incidentally comes across his grandson and develops a secret friendly relation with him, meeting him regularly. Knowing this, Bhanu and Swapna also feel very happy. One day, Bhanu gives his son some canned Payasam (rice pudding) to be offered to his father. When Harischandra is diverted, Singaraju mixes up poison in it. Vasundhara learns of the secret meeting of Harischandra with his grandson and urges him to accept Bhanu back into their family. During the conversation, Harischandra takes the payasam and is hospitalized. As a result, Bhanu is suspected of making an attempt on his father's life in outrage.

At the hospital, Singaraju makes a scene to frame Bhanu and show evidence that Bhanu is the culprit. When he and his men badly beat Bhanu, Harischandra intervenes and arrives to his son's rescue. Harischandra declares that Singaraju had poisoned the "Payasam", which he realized due to the smell of Singaraju's perfume in his car. A combat ensues between Harischandra/Bhanu and Singaraju until the latter confesses his guilt and Bhanu spares his life. Finally, Harischandra accepts Bhanu as his son, and the entire family is happily reunited.
