Plot

Vijay is a valorous crime reporter who is a diehard to malefactors in society. He is fostered by his uncle Rai Saheb as his virago step-mother expelled him in childhood. However, on her deathbed, she pleads for pardon from him and bestows the responsibility on her laid-back son Anand. Accordingly, Vijay shields Anand from the exploitations. Besides, Saroj an upright woman strives hard for a living and looks after her blind mother Parvati & younger brother Chandu. Owing to destitution Chandu turns as notorious and hooded by a dreadful gang headed by a devil. Meanwhile, destiny makes Saroj & Anand childhood friends, and Saroj treats him as his brother but he misinterprets her affection as love. Due to misapprehension, Vijay denounces Saroj as a woman of ill-repute. Here, Anand plans to marry Saroj but she clarifies her true feeling and he backs her. Being incognizant of it, Vijay marries Saroj in an unconscious state to protect Anand but as the woman of virtue, Saroj honours the wedding. Parallelly, Rao Saheb is annoyed with his vainglory daughter Lakshmi who scourges his father and crippled sister Rani. At that point, Anand places Saroj as governess to Rani and within no time she acquires their credence. Later, Anand divulges the fact to Vijay which makes him repent and start loving Saroj. One night, when Rao Saheb drops Saroj when he is impelled to see his wife Parvati but backs him because of their hatred. Distressed, Rai Saheb narrates the past to Vijay. Years ago, he reached the city for survival and met with an accident made by a rich woman Sudha. After recovery when he returns to his village, it is drowned. In that quandary, Sudha consoled and married him. Now, the boss ascertains Chandu to abduct Rani for ransom which he does so by assaulting Rai Saheb. Spotting it, Lakshmi blames Saroj and apprehends her. Listening to it, Parvati dies when Vijay aids Saroj as the backbone. Lakshmi also realizes her mistake after being aware of the truth. She immediately reaches the exchange spot and reforms Chandu but they are seized. At last, Vijay rescues them and unites the family.
