Amaayakuraalu Story
The film begins with a couple, Shekar and Shobha, engaging their daughter Jyothi with her love interest, Bhaskar. During that time, Bhaskar’s mother detects that Jyothi is not their own and accuses her mother of having shame when Shekar spins rearward. His maternal uncle, Bhushaiah, raised Shekar, who aspires to knit him with his cousin Radha. However, his shrew wife Kantamma opposes it as Shekar is needy. Later, Shekar acquires a job in a company owned by Ananda Rao, and his daughter Shobha loves him. Meanwhile, Bhushaiah fixes Radha’s alliance with Mohan, who is consummate before the wedding, and Radha conceives. Parallelly, Bhushaiah is bankrupt, so Mohan cheats on Radha and moves abroad. During that plight, Shekar forwards to shield Radha’s honor by espousing her. Soon, Shobha lands and questions Shekar. Radha overhears it and quits, which leads to Bhushaiah’s death. Following this, Shekar and Shobha splice and start their marital life. Eventually, Radha is safeguarded by a truck driver, Ranganna, and she gives birth to a baby girl. Later, Ranganna joins Ananda Rao, and Shekar knows Radha’s whereabouts via him. By then, she slays a goon who tried to molest her and is sentenced to 5 years. Now, Shekar rears the baby as Jyothi with Shobha without revealing her identity.
Years roll by, and Radha is acquitted when the truth is told, and a rift arises between Shekar and Shobha. Parallelly, Mohan returns and turns into the son of Ananda Rao’s friend Chakradharam, who acknowledges the plight and ploys to get rid of Shekar to possess Shobha. So, he poses as a reformed man, requests to marry Radha, and attempts to slaughter her. Whereat, Shekar with Ananda Rao and Shobha rush, when Radha dies announcing the virtue of Shekar, and Mohan is apprehended. At present, the groom’s parents realize their mistake.
