Andaman Ammayi Story
The film begins at Andaman. Here, a turtle dove, Shekar, and Chandra, whose love blossoms on the island, are secretly knitted. Once Chandra is ailing, Shekar rushes for her medication and is mocked by Dr. Vedantha Rao. Thus, Shekar is enraged and knocks him. Declaring him dead, terrified, Shekar skips from the island. Midway, he secures a millionaire on the deck who shelters him and entrusts his property and daughter, Kavitha, to Shekar before leaving his breath. After 20 years, Shekar turns into a tycoon and dotes on Kavitha. Once, Kavitha desires to visit an art exhibition at Andaman, so Shekar hesitantly sets foot back. Whereat, he is startled to view Vedantha Rao alive, who puts the past in his mind. Currently, remorseful Vedantha Rao pleads pardon and provides hospitality to them. Parallelly, Kavitha gets acquainted with a sculptor, Madan, and falls for him, which he denies. Then Shekar hits Madan to splice Kavitha, and he is ready to pay any cost.
Here, Madan demands to detect his cowardly father, who has hoodwinked his mother. Since he aimed to crave his stature and title him a cheater, Shekar accepted it when Madan stipulated that his mother must approve the person. Shekar walks to Madan’s mother when he is startled to spot Chandra therein, and the twosome is under beatitude. Now, Shekar affirms the status quo and asks her to divulge the actuality to Madan, which she denies as she knows the consequences. Here, Shekar challenges to uncover the fact and makes numerous attempts to expose his identity via Chandra, but in vain. At last, Shekar decides to commit suicide to make Chandra come forth. Parallelly, Madan detects the marriage photograph of their parents when he comprehends his father’s virtue. He rushes and rescues Shekar and states he will sculpt his statue for worship. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Madan and Kavitha.
