Plot

The film begins with a pick-pocket Raju stealing a diamond necklace, which has been re-snatched by a notorious burglar, Rangoon Ranganna. Raju lives with his mother, Lakshmamma, who is unbeknownst to his profession. Besides, Ranganna purports himself to be Bhupathi, an honorable seeker. After a while, Raju detects the necklace from Tara, the daughter of Bhupathi's elder, and retrieves it when she crushes on him, but he does not reciprocate. Parallelly, Bhupathi runs a hotel where Murthy, a generous, works as a manager and lives with his wife Janaki & a child. However, his mother, Rajamma, & sister, Gauri, reside in their village and are ignorant of his nuptial. As of today, Bhupathi loots a bank when the govt demonetizes those notes. Meanwhile, Murthy's family in the village is being persecuted by loan shark Seenaiah. So, Gauri proceeds for her brother, where goons abduct her. Raju shields & safely lands her when they fall in love. Here, Murthy ensures that it will settle soon and sends Gauri back. Ergo seeks Bhupathi's support, who deceives him with the stolen cash. After getting to the post office, Raju stole it. Later, he discerns the pitiful state and rushes to pay back when he collapses, spotting Murthy's death due to heart failure.

Here, Raju dies out of remorse; he moves to clear the debt when he learns that Gauri is Murthy's sister and they are blind to Murthy's marital life. At this stage, a saint, Baba, enlightens him to dedicate his life to the victims of his sin as a penance. So, Raju rolls on for Janaki, shelters at Baba's Ashram, and cares for them. Besides, Seenaiah is aware of fraudulence; he files a case when Bhupathi slyly incriminates Raju, and the Police are behind him. Currently, Rajamma & Gauri land in the city acquainted with Lakshmamma, who guests them. They quit, knowing Raju as her son by denouncing him, and are clutched by Bhupathi. Grief-stricken Lakshmamma commits suicide as Raju pleads guilty. Eventually, Bhupathi edicts to slay Rajamma and tries to molest Gauri when Raju saves her, and she understands his virtue. Janaki safeguards Rajamma when she is aware of the facts about her son. Raju, too, reaches there with Gauri, who confesses his crime, and everyone loathes him. Around that tough spot, Baba guides him to free himself from his charges, and then all goes well. At last, Raju breaks the diabolic shade of Bhupathi and ceases him when Tara dies while guarding him. Finally, the movie ends with Raju gaining forgiveness and proceeding to a short-term penalty.
