Plot
Raghavendra owns a provisional store and is the eldest among four brothers, and all
live together in a home along with their parents Rama Chandraiah and Janakamma.
Raghavendra is widely respected by everyone in the family and was responsible for
bringing back their family to a good state after financial troubles a few years
back where he also loses his love Padma, who got engaged to him but got canceled by
Padma's parents who reject Raghavendra based on poverty. Now, Raghavendra marries
Anjali, who is a lot more responsible and kind to everyone. Vishnu is the second
son in the family who assists Raghavendra in managing their provisional store. He
is innocent and marries his relative Kalyani who is Padma's younger sister, but she
is short-tempered and picks up quarrels often. Chinna is the third son in the
family, and he goes to college where he falls for his classmate Kaveri, who is the
only daughter of a rich arrogant man named Govardhan Chowdary. Vamsi is the
youngest son and studies in college.

Kalyani feels that only Raghavendra is respected by everyone and not Vishnu because
Raghavendra manages the provisional store, while Vishnu just assists him. She keeps
insisting Vishnu to start a separate provisional store, which he does not accept as
that would separate him from his brothers. Meanwhile, Govardhan gets to know about
Kaveri's love for Chinna and warns him to forget her. Chinna gets a job and leaves
for Delhi as he does not want to marry Kaveri against her father's wishes.

One day, Kalyani begins a quarrel at home, saying that Raghavendra has a separate
savings account in the bank and takes money from the account without the knowledge
of other family members. Raghavendra feels bad upon hearing this. Suddenly, Kalyani
and Vishnu's daughter faints and is rushed to the hospital. It is revealed that the
child was suffering from a serious disease that only Raghavendra knew before, and
he was saving money to meet the medical expenses without informing others, as they
will worry if they get to know about the child's disease. Kalyani realizes her
mistake upon knowing this and apologizes to Raghavendra for her harsh behavior
towards him and Anjali.

Later, they start a rice mill. Raghavendra gets to know about Chinna's love for
Kaveri and goes to meet Govardhan with a marriage proposal. Govardhan agrees to the
wedding but on the condition that Chinna should stay along with Kaveri in his home
as he does not want to send his daughter to another home after the wedding.
Raghavendra agrees to the condition but does not inform this Chinna as he will not
agree. On the day of engagement, Chinna gets to know about the condition, cancels
the wedding, and comes back to his home to meet his family members. Following him,
Kaveri also comes, asking him to marry her against her father's wishes.

Raghavendra convinces the couple that if they get married without Govardhan's
permission, then it will be a big blow to Govardhan's status in society, and they
should not be the reason behind that. He also convinces Kaveri to leave her home
immediately before anyone could know about this. When they step out of the home,
they see Govardhan with a group of men attacking Raghavendra's family. However, he
has overheard Raghavendra's conversation with Kaveri, realizes his good nature, and
agrees to their wedding. Finally, Chinna and Kaveri get married happily, and Kaveri
lives along with everyone in a joint family in Raghavendra's home.
