Plot

The film begins, during the time of India - China war when a freedom fighter Madhava Rao (Gummadi) toils for the welfare of the public with his daughter Bharati (Chandrakala), niece Kasthuri (Manjula) and his son Ravindra Nath (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) serves in Indian Army. Besides, his malicious brother-in-law Narasimham (Nagabhushanam) is a secret agent of the traitors but purports himself as a patriot. In the war-front, Ravi is mislaid and seriously injured when a nurse Susheela (Bharathi) rescues him and they fall in love. Eventually, grief-stricken Madhava Rao shifts to the residence of Ravi's close friend, Dr. Raghu (Krishnam Raju) a handicap. Nevertheless, Bharathi loves and marries him. Parallelly, Narasimham's son Babu arrives from states knitting a foreign girl Lilly (Lilly). After some time, Ravi returns along with Susheela and conveys his intention to marry her which is opposed by Narasimham & his wife Sundaramma (Suryakantham) as they aspire to couple up Kasthuri with him. Despite Ravi moves ahead, just before the wedding, Susheela dies in a car accident when dispirited Ravi tours all over the country. During, as a flabbergast, he spots Susheela alive. Later he realizes her as Sujatha (again Bharathi) the twin sister of Susheela who enhances him and he proposes her which she denies. However, Ravi follows her, when he learns Sujatha's alliance is already fixed with her fosterers' son Ramu whose whereabouts are not known. At present, the elders convince Sujatha for espousal when, unfortunately, the Indian army declares an emergency, so, Ravi pauses the wedding and leaves to the battlefield. At the same time, it is revealed, Raghu is only Ramu one that stayed behind due to his disability. Meanwhile, Narasimham intrigues to destroy important runways of the country when Ravi breaks out his ploy. Here, surprisingly, Lilly turns as a CBI officer and apprehends him. Finally, Ravi is honored by Govt of India and the movie ends a happy note with the marriage of Ravi & Sujatha.
