Aatmiyudu Story
Ranga, an orphan, is raised by a millionaire Dharma Rao whom he endears more than his own, and they share a bond beyond. Ranga loves and knits a girl, Mahalakshmi. Narasimham and Giri, the vicious relatives of Dharma Rao, ruse to usurp his wealth when Ranga shields him at every level. Meanwhile, Dharma Rao’s son Vijay returns from abroad with his family when Dharma Rao entrusts the totality to him but cannot take the dominance and prioritization of Ranga. Moreover, the knaves ensnare him, and he affronts Ranga, which Dharma Rao is unable to tolerate. Hence, between two fires, he expels Ranga but turns melancholy at his detachment.
Exploiting it, Narasimham and Giri slaughter Vijay and his wife Sarada, incriminate Ranga, and their child, who witnessed the crime, flees. Now the court sentences Ranga to life. Plus, the barbaric addict slowly poisons Dharma Rao and acquires authority. Being aware of it, Ranga absconds and, in disguise, safeguards Dharma Rao and his grandson, proves himself non-guilty, and ceases the baddies. Finally, the movie ends happily with a family reunion.
