Jagannath Rao is the rich owner of the Kamala coffee estate, ably supported by his friend Mahesh.

He had earlier joined the estate in the position of the manager, falling in love with Mahesh's sister Kamala and eventually marrying her and begetting a son Gopinath aka Gopi, who is a car rally enthusiast.

When Gopi is away participating in a rally, he receives a telegram that his mother is seriously ill and reaches home only to find out that she met with a car accident and has been buried.

During this time, Gopi meets with an accident too, and loses his eyesight, and Sridhar's eyes are transplanted to him.

Eventually, Gopi reveals that he used coloured contact lenses to get his father to open up as to why he is so scared of the eyes.
