Pempudu Koothuru Story
Raghu and Tirupati are vagabond father and son and spend their life frolicking. Uma, the sister of Raghu, a schoolteacher and a classical singer, preserves the family. Parallelly, affluent Dasavataram leads a delightful life with his wife and two children, Vasu and Manjula. Once, Raghu rags Manjula whenever they meet, and she declares him a hooligan. Ahead, Vasu becomes a stan of Uma’s tune, and both fall in love. Though Dasavataram’s family agrees to the nuptial, Manjula rejects discerning Uma as Raghu’s sibling. So, Uma decides to quit when her mother, Sitamma, claims her as their foster. Then, Uma oaths to be unmarried until they put their family right. After that, Tirupati ruses to knit Uma with an old tycoon, Simhachalam, for his wealth. Whereat, Raghu senses the morality of Uma, transforms, and performs Uma’s splice with Vasu. Forthwith, Vasu leaves abroad, and in a tragedy, Manjula loses her eyesight due to Uma’s fault when everyone indicts her. To protect his sister’s grace, Raghu weds Manjula by dramatizing as dumb.
Soon after, the truth breaks out when Manjula attempts suicide. Scrutinizing it, Raghu exits, and her in-laws discard Uma despite being pregnant. Manjula’s parents shift her to Bangalore for treatment, where Raghu lands; unbeknownst to her, he serves her. Uma is secured by a wise, and she gives birth to a baby boy. Meanwhile, Manjula recoups her vision, comprehends Raghu’s righteousness, and proceeds for him. Coincidentally, Raghu shields Uma’s child from danger and joins her when Vasu also backs. Finally, the movie ends happily.
