The film stars Chiranjeevi and Vijayashanti in main leads, with Sarvadaman D. Banerjee, and Sumalatha in other pivotal roles.
Sambayya (Chiranjeevi), a humble cobbler, is devoted to raising his late sister's son, Chinna (played by Arjun/Sirish), while also supporting the education of the orphaned Sarada (Sumalatha), on whom he has a quiet crush and hopes to marry someday.
Ganga (Vijayashanti), who has long harboured feelings for Sambayya, undergoes a tubectomy to prove her commitment to being a devoted mother to Chinna, ensuring that her focus remains solely on their family.
Meanwhile, Govind is released from prison and poisons Bhaskar's mind by divulging that Sambayya took Sarada home and that he used to love her.
Govind joins forces with Ganga's unscrupulous father and poisons Chinna's mind by misinterpreting Sambayya's disciplinary actions as brutality.
Affirming that he took Chinna just to have Sambayya meet his demands, Govind hands a cassette tape to Ganga, who watches it with the family.
Sarada explains to a disheartened Chinna that Sambayya disciplined him because he is his well-wisher while Govind taught him bad habits to ruin him.
Sambayya resumes his earlier profession as a cobbler and is pleasantly surprised to see that Chinna is doing the same across the street, indicating that he has reformed and learned the value of hard work.
