Chinnanati Snehitulu Story
The film begins with two soulmates, Srinivas Rao and Sridhar. One is a tycoon, while the other works as his manager. Sridhar’s daughter Aruna is pampered and doted on by Srinivas Rao. Nagabhushnam, a black-hearted brother-in-law of Sridhar Rao, schemes to marry Aruna to his idiotic son Rambabu to usurp the wealth. He also envies the prioritization and supremacy of Srinivas Rao. Meanwhile, Srinivas Rao leads a delightful life with his wife Lalitha and a blind mother. Aruna visits her friend’s nuptials and reunites with her childhood friend Ravi. They fall in love and consummate their relationship. Sridhar Rao suffers a heart attack when Aruna arrives home pregnant. Ravi, an Air Force pilot, is reported as a crash victim. Cognizant of this, Aruna collapses and explains the situation to Srinivas Rao. He courageously plans with Lalitha by claiming she is pregnant and convinces Sridhar Rao to have Aruna stay at his house as a nurse. Aruna gives birth to a baby boy and returns home.
Later, Lalitha also conceives and gives birth to a baby boy. Nagabhushnam discovers this, abducts Lalitha’s child, and threatens Aruna to marry Rambabu. Aruna agrees and informs Sridhar Rao, which leads to his death. Aruna is then forced to ostracize Srinivas Rao. Sensing foul play, Srinivas Rao goes in disguise, apprehends Nagabhushnam, and restores order. Ravi, who had survived the crash, returns safely. Finally, the movie concludes on a happy note with the reunion of the entire family.
