Plot
Dora Babu (Venkatesh), the only child of a multi-millionaire Venkatraidu (Nutan Prasad) who can provide his son with anything he wants, but he loves his mother who ends up dying and his only desire is mother's love. Venkatraidu cheers him up by remarrying a women Nagamani (Jayachitra), a greedy lady who loves money, thinking that she will care for his son as her natural son. Nagamani and her brother (Kota Srinivasa Rao) makes Venkatraidu paralyzed and considers him as a mental patient and eventually locked within a room of the family home. Dora Babu becomes devoted to Nagamani, she raises Dora Babu as an uneducated boy since he does anything she says and loves her a lot does whatever she asks of him
Dorababu meets Sudha (Meena) in a marriage and keeps following she being abducted and assaulted at a fair, he rescues her. The two fall in love and despite the villagers believing she is no longer chaste he marries her and goes to his mother. Nagamani hates that and separates them with her tactics. Sudha discovers that and her motherly love for Dorababu is a rouse in an attempt to discredit the sanity of Venkatraidu and thus unable to interfere with the plan Nagamani has for the family fortune to be diverted to Dorababu's step brother Murari (Srikanth) real son of Nagamani also shares his mother's greed. A battle of wills between the Nagamani and Sudha ensues.
Nagamani sees that her influence over the family is being challenged by Sudha who insists that Venkatraidu leave his prison and return to the family circle as there is nothing wrong with him. And she makes Dorababu aware of the intentions of his mother. Nagamani starts to abuse and embarrass Sudha with all the family members present. Sudha is ready to leave but then, to protect her husband and her house from Nagamani's intentions, she decides to apologise to her mother-in-law. Sudha then cleverly starts exposing Nagamani's every effort and intention in a dignified manner so that her husband will not be offended.
Sudha becoming pregnant prompts Nagamani to attempt to kill her and unborn child with poison. Sudha discovers this and returns to her direct approach by telling her husband. He continues to refuse to believe the treachery although she takes an oath upon her unborn child's life. Dorabau defends his mother and offers to prove that Sudha is wrong. Dorabau drinks the milk, He comes to the realization of what Sudha said was all along his mother's intentions. In his usual innocent manner, he asks her why, that all she had to do as his mother was simply ask for the wealth--he would have happily agreed to give her it all, his words so deeply touch Nagamani that she realises her cruelty has been directed at the only son who all along had ever loved her.
Finally, the film concludes with Dorababu recovering, agreeing to give up to his mother his worldly possessions and leaving home with his wife. At the last moment, Nagamani begs him not to leave, claiming to have learned the error of her ways. She tears up the legal papers and tells him that all she wants is nothing more than Dorababu.
