Plot
A cobbler named Sambayya (Chiranjeevi) looks after his late sister Chinna (Arjun/Sirish) and provides for her schooling, in addition to supporting Sarada (Sumalatha), who is an orphan. In addition, he has a crush on her and plans to wed her in the future.
As things happen, Sarada marries Bhaskar (Sarvadaman Banerjee), and Ganga (Vijayashanti), who has also been in love with Sambayya, has a tubectomy so that she can wed Sambayya. She takes this action in order to be a fully committed mother to Chinna. Ganga and Sambayya overcome early obstacles to become affluent shoe owners.
After serving time in prison, Chinna’s father Govind (Charan Raj) teams up with Ganga’s father, a nasty guy, to demand a number of things from Sambayya and assert his guardianship over Chinna.
When Sambayya eventually rebels against his father, he and Chinna both go back to their humble beginnings as cobblers.
