Koduku Kodalu Story
Raja Shekar is an energetic youngster who loves Shobha, the daughter of a millionaire Srihari Rao. During their engagement, Srihari Rao’s sister, Durgamma, denounces Shekar’s mother, Janakamma, as having ill repute. Knowing it, Srihari Rao expels them when Janakamma also claims it is true. Distressed, Shekar quits, accusing his mother. After a while, wanderer Shekar is presented before the judiciary for a petty crime, and the judge, Raghava Rao, recognizes Shekar as his son. He acquits and provides him with a roof, unbeknownst to him. Meanwhile, Srihari Rao compels Shobha and calls for espousal. So, she absconds and proceeds to her cousin Geeta. She serves Raghava Rao and shares beyond her relationship with him. Afterward, Shekar is conscious of actuality and arraigns Raghava Rao but later comprehends his integrity. The two are in quest of Janakamma, but in vain. Following this, Raghava Rao wishes to knit Geeta with Shekar, which he accepts as a matter of fact.
Janakamma is posted as a maid at wealthy Vasundhara, who is forged as insane by her vicious husband, Jaganatham, to usurp her totality. Moreover, Jaganatham ploys, posing as two twins, Satyanandam, and ruses to wedlock Shobha. Hereupon, Jaganatham wiles, walks out for a tour, slaughters Vasundhara, incriminates Janakamma, and returns as Satyanandam. During the trial, Raghava Rao perturbs, viewing Janakamma, and notifies Shekar, who aims to prove his mother’s innocence. Shobha is mindful of Geeta’s love, so she exits and fortuitously lands at Satyanandam’s house. Eventually, Geeta also draws back, discerning the status quo. At last, Shekar chases and ceases Satyanandam in disguise with the aid of Shobha. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Shekar and Shobha.
