Plot
Raghavayya and Ram Mohan Rao are brothers-in-law. But Ram Mohan Rao is at loggerheads with Raghavayya because of a family feud. Raghavayya is nearing his 60s and it's time for his Shastipoorti ceremony. Upon incessant requests from his wife, Raghavayya decides to invite (for the first time) his daughter-in-law and grandchildren who are staying in Bombay. Raghu is the alienated handsome grandson of Raghavia. After arriving at Ramapuram from Bombay, he faces embarrassment from the members of Raghavayya's family. There he meets a childlike beauty Manga. Manga and Raghu play a few pranks on each other and slowly they fall deeply in love. But they never admit their love to each other. With his unconditional love towards the family members, Raghu wins their confidence and hearts.
Later on, Raghu discovers the cause of the feud between the families of Raghavayya and Ram Mohan Rao. Raghu's father Bhaskar Rao is supposed to marry Ram Mohan Rao's daughter Rajani. Bhaskar prefers his college flame Kousalya rather than Rajani, so he leaves for Mumbai and gets married, and disappointed Rajani opts for suicide. Ram Mohan Rao blames it on Raghavayya and starts treating him indifferently. Erra Babu, the fiery son of Ram Mohan Rao, is another victim of the incident. He develops a prejudice against Raghavayya and aims for his blood.
After a few days of timely strategic manipulation, Raghu succeeds in bringing the two troubled families together. Then they decide to marry Manga off to Ram Mohan Rao's grandson to tighten their family bonds. Raghu sacrifices his love in order to make sure that everybody is happy. As the preparations are going on for the wedding Manga, they find that Manga is missing. Everyone knows about Raghu and Manga's love story and finally Erra Babu realizes his mistake and also agrees to their love and unites both lovers.
