Plot

Jeevana Poratam is a story about the mismanagement and selfishness of the political leaders of India. Many people had striven for the independence of the country, but when we got independence, the scenario was totally opposite. Bharath (Sobhan Babu) has become the victim. In spite of being a gold medalist, he had to suffer unemployment. His father Gummadi always scolds him for this. He has 2 brothers, Rajanikanth and Naresh and a sister. Rajanikanth joins hands with bad people and when Sobhan scolds him, he joins the army (when he comes in the he has lost his hand in war). Vijayashanti and Sobhan are related and love each other. Vijayashanti gets a job in Sharat Babu's office and slowly falls for Sharat, seeing his wealth, and neglects Sobhan. She even gets engaged to Sharat. At this time, Radhika enters Sobhan's life. Due to circumstances, Sobhan joins hands with Rao Gopalrao and becomes rich. Rajanikanth comes back and helps his brother to leave the bad people and all ends well.
