The film begins with Sir Parvati Pandit, a vainglory woman who takes a stab to trample the destitute along with her brother Thammugi. She has a benevolent and virtuous daughter, Indira, whose vocation is to complete I.A.S. Raju is a gallant whom his entire colony admires. Once Parvati Pandit seeks to take hold of their settlement when Raju impedes her, and a clash arises between them. At the same time, Indira is impressed by Raju’s idolization and falls for him. Even he, too, crushes as unbeknownst of her true self. As soon as the truth comes to light, Raju resents her. Besides, Parvati Pandit rebukes and ostracizes her daughter. At that point, Raju gets there, nuptials Indira, and challenges Parvati Pandit to make his wife Collector. From there, Raju strives hard and carves Indira as a Collector. The pair leads a cute life, and Indira becomes pregnant.

Here begrudged Parvati Pandit ploys to create a rift. Firstly, she counterfeits by striking herself and inducting colony men, where Indira’s complicated feelings toward them begin. Then, she callously aborts Indira in the name of them and shifts the two to her mansion. Next, she magnifies each case and increases the rupture. Above all, the shrew intrigues and imputes an illicit bond with Raju by bursting a girl named Vani into view. As a result, they both split officially with divorce. Vani accompanies Raju and torments him with her coarse behavior, which he silently tolerates. Afterward, Raju discovers Vani as his friend Prakash’s fiancé, whom he incremented and sentenced. However, he clarifies the reason behind his deed: to rescue Prakash and divert him from the destructive path. Parallelly, Thammugi backstabs Parvati Pandit, who forcibly tries to knit Indira with his son Bujji. Simultaneously, Raju is chopped by acquitted Prakash with misinterpretation. Now, Raju is in serious condition at the hospital. Meanwhile, Indira is a cognizant diabolic shade of Parvati Pandit, who chastises her and consumes poison, which reforms Parvati Pandit. At last, Raju revives his wife and ceases the knaves. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the couple’s reunion.
