Aada Pettanam Story

The film begins in a village where a couple, Ganapathi & Rangamma, have two children, Krishna & Swarajyam. Since Krishna is the first wife’s progeny, virago Rangamma scorns him. Krishna falls for his childhood mate Radha, the daughter of schoolteacher Ramaiah. Learning it, Ramaiah moves with the proposal when Rangamma seeks Rs.10,000 in dowry. So, Ramaiah approaches spiteful loan shark President Kondaiah, who tramples the villagers. Ramaiah mortgages his property and acquires the amount. However, Kondaiah entices Radha, so he steals the amount, and the marriage is called off. During that plight, Ramaiah agrees to knit Radha with Kondaiah when Radha attempts suicide. Krishna rescues and espouses her. As a result, he quits the house.

Parallelly, Lokhanadham, a stage artist, traps Rangamma, intrudes into their home, and weds Swarajyam. Ramaiah passes away, and Kondaiah seizes his property. Krishna establishes a school and cooperative Bank in the village and ameliorates the lifestyles of the destitute, which irks Kondaiah. Eventually, Ganapathi turns terminally ill when Rangamma grabs the totality by Lokhanadham’s ruse. After the death of Ganapathi, Rangamma expels Krishna when Lokhanadham forges and pawns the property to Kondaiah. Kondaiah occupies it when Rangamma bars him, but she is forsaken. Krishna & Radha aid her, drive the black guards, and reform Lokhanadham. At last, Rangamma realizes the virtue of the two. Finally, the movie ends happily with the family’s union.
