Vikram (23), a young and energetic man, enters to the estate and opposes Rudra Bhupathi's wickedness and gets closer to the villagers. Usha (21), Rudra Bhupathi's only daughter, also likes Vikram and they fall in love. A mad woman, Bharathi (49), roams all over the estate without recognizing herself, one day Vikram realises that she is his mother and there is a link between her insanity and Rudra Bhupathi. Meanwhile, Shishupal, grandson of the adjacent estate owner returns from abroad and wants to marry Usha. Seeing Vikram as an obstacle, Shishupal plans an attack on him; in that quarrel Bharathi is injured and recovers her memory. Vikram asks his mother what happened, and she discusses their past.
Vikram's father Pratap Rao 50–35 was a forest officer who obstructed Rudra Bhupathi's illegal activities in the estate, so he killed him and also tried to kill Bharathi and Vikram. In that attack, Bharathi is injured keeping Vikram in a safe place, but she lost her memory. So Vikram seeks revenge against Rudra Bhupathi. Meanwhile, Shishupal rapes a village damsel, Gowri (19), and blames it on Vikram, so everyone, including Usha, believes it because Gowri lost consciousness and is unable to recognise her rapist. Usha prepares to marry Shishupal, at the time of marriage, Rudra Bhupathi discovers that Shishipal double-crossed him, and learns that he is not the estate owner's grandson, but a local goon. Meanwhile, Gowri regains consciousness and reveals the truth and sacrifices her life to protect Vikram.
