Plot
Jagannadharao, a leading lawyer, marries Janaki and fathers a son (Master Arjun). Indrasena Varma and his friend Rudrayya addict Jagannadharao to drinking. According to the plan, they accuse Janaki as a fallen woman, and try to get rid of her along with the child, by provoking the people to stone her to death, when Jagannadharao falls unconscious owing to heavy drinking. In the temple of Shiva, Janaki names her son as Jamadagni (Krishna). She commits suicide, whilst Young Jamadagni lights the lamp at the Shivalinga. Young Jamadagni takes his dead mother on a small wheel cart to a graveyard, and there he performs cremation. Jaggayya marries Parvatamma for the second time and fathers a son named Chandram (Krishna) and a daughter (Poornima). Parvatamma learns about the treachery and threatens Indrasena Varma and Rudrayya that she would call the police. Nevertheless, she loses her eyesight when pushed by Indrasena Varma and Rudrayya, whilst Jagannadharao is struck by hand paralysis. Indrasena Varma and Rudrayya grab the property of Jagannadharao. Paralyzed, Jagannadharao and his family leaves the riches.
Years pass. Jamadagni, who leads an orphan life, grows into a very rich and powerful man in later years. He develops a desire for vengeance against his father, for his mother's death because of accusations and his orphan status. He grabs money from the smugglers and wins the hearts of poor people. He starts to construct a corporate hospital for the poor and gives employment to the poor in the construction. Vijaya, an orphan woman, joins the construction. Jamadagni saves Vijaya from falling from the top when ascending a ladder carrying bricks on her head.
Lully (Radha), the only daughter of Indrasena Varma, comes from America, insisting on appointing a personal assistant for her. On a horse ride, she is saved by Chandram, who is in the trail of a job. Chandram agrees to join in the job as a personal assistant on the condition that his mother should regain her eyesight with the operation fee paid by Indrasena Varma.
