Balu (Santosh Pawan) is an average student. His father Venkataratnam (Suman) is a village elder and is known for his kind-heartedness. MRO Ramakrishna Prasad (Raj) comes as a tenant in one portion of Venkataratnam's house. He has a son who works in Australia and a daughter Madhumati (Aithesri) studying degree in local women's college. Balu whiles away his time with friends and enjoys life without any responsibility. Venkataratnam and his wife Hema (Hema) pamper their son very much. Balu falls in love with Madhu and the latter also accepts after some dillydallying. But Ramakrishna Prasad did not agree to their love and separates them, saying Balu is irresponsible. Though Balu's lecturer JP (Jayaprakash Reddy) tries to convince him, but he did not heed. Humiliated over the refusal to their love, Balu decides to prove himself and helps a quarry owner (Jeeva) who is unable to run it. He brings the quarry on a profit path and returns it to him. After achieving success and when he was about to reveal about it to Madhu, her father takes her away to the US. Here Balu falls into depression. After some years, Balu finds Madhu in a hospital. She loses her mental balance due to failure in love. Ramakrishna Prasad repents and the film ends with Balu taking Madhu with him.
