Seshu (Raja Sekhar) is an aimless youth and a medico who is studying in the same medical college for years. Seshu is overtly pampered by a sister-in-law (vadina). Though Seshu brother (Nasar) loves him, he always scolds Seshu for his misadventures. Seshu is put up in a jail for five years for bashing up a minister, who later dies. Abhitu (Kaveri) is the second daughter of a poojari in the same village. She is a innocent and studious girl. She gets a seat in medical college on merit. Seshu develops liking towards Abhitu and after a series of incidents, that liking converts into love. Abhitu's match is fixed long back with her maternal uncle. Abhitu has an elder sister. But her husband sends her back to get forty thousand rupees as the extra dowry. This becomes an extra burden to the father of Abhitu. When Seshu proposes his love to Abhitu, she flatly refuses. Seshu gets disoriented and searches for the means of winning the heart of Abhitu. In the meantime, Seshu rescues the sister of Abhitu from the clutches of a brothel house, which promised her a loan of 40 thousand rupees. But Seshu was not aware that the lady he rescued is the sister of Abhitu. Abhitu's maternal uncle comes to know about this and asks Abhitu to accept the love of Seshu, as he is more qualified to become her husbands. Just the moment when Abhitu accepts the love of Seshu, the goons attack Seshu and brutally injure him. In the fight, Seshu gets mentally injured too. The doctor advice the brother of Seshu to admit Seshu in a nature cure ashram maintained by sadhus in Ahobilam.
