Thatha-Manavadu

[3] Rangayya (S. V. Ranga Rao) lives with his wife Seetha (Anjali Devi) and his sister's daughter, Suguna (Chandrakala).

When he reaches the village, Anand promises to marry Suguna, makes her pregnant and cheats her into giving her jewellery and runs away for good.

Eventually, this is revealed to Rangayya and Seetha, who in order to save Suguna's honour decide to marry her to Anand as soon as possible.

Geetha however, confronts Anand on his successful ploy, but decides against taking action, believing it would bring shame to her if this matter became public.

Years later, Giri (now Raja Babu) has become a medical student and falls in love with his college mate Raani (Vijay Nirmala), who is the daughter of Paramatma Rao (Gummadi), Advocate and Solicitor to Geetha's family.

Giri, as an adult with the capacity of independence, has grown to love Rangayya's family even more while defending them and helping them at every step.

He brings a specialist doctor who diagnoses Seetha with internal haemorrhage, stating, she will not live long.

Completely void of all hope to live life, Ramaiah wanders away from the rites ceremony and meets with an accident and is revealed to have died.

Giri reveals everything now to an inconsolable Laxmi and they all gather at Raani's house and decide to teach Anand's family a lesson as a revenge as per Paramata Rao's instruction.

He then disguises himself as Raani's village father and all of them start to blackmail Anand's family to the brink of breakdown, which makes them realise all their sins.

The creditor comes to arrest Anand and Geetha for non-payment of loans, for which they oblige, but they are led as per plan to Paramatma's home.

Rangayya survived an apparent accident and was operated upon to get back his vision and cared for in Paramatma Rao's house.

The movie ends on a happy note with the family opening a free hospital named in memory of Seetha as Rangayya wished.
