Ramu's father is a drunkard, who neglects his family. His daughter dies after he beats her once, and Ramu (Shobhan Babu) runs away from home. Ramu studies on charity, and in medical college meets Swapna (Sujatha). Ramu tutors Swapna's siblings and lives in her summer house. Swapna is married off to Anand, a London-based doctor who is already married. By the time this fact comes to light, Ramu meets Padma (Vakkalanka Padma) and falls in love. A love triangle ensues, with Swapna finally sacrificing her love and Ramu and Padma come together in the end.
The producer Katragadda Murari initially wanted K. S. Sethumadhavan to direct this film but differences arose due to choice of music composer as Sethu wanted M. S. Viswanathan to compose whereas Murari wanted K. V. Mahadevan. After Sethumadhavan walked out, Dasari Narayana Rao was chosen to direct. For the role of Padma, Vakkalanka Padma, daughter of singer Vakkalanka Sarala was chosen to portray it. Actor and voice actor P. Ravishankar portrayed the younger version of Shoban Babu.[1]
