Lawyer Viswanath Story
Viswanath, a renowned advocate, is a disciple of justice and endeared by the masses. Once, he awards life to Prabhu – the spiteful son of honor-seeking gangster GNK and his henchman Shakka under rape conviction. Thereat, vengeful GNK intends to kill him, but he is shielded by his stan, Latha, a famous dancer, and they fall in love. From there, the Police Department pays special attention to Viswanath’s protection, which remains GNK helpless. Viswanath resides with his mother, Shantamma, and sister, Gowri. What perturbs him is the frequent failure of Gowri’s alliances because of her handicaps. Besides, Kacheri Kondaiah, the witty man who solves many cases at the drop of a hat, is Viswanath’s close confidant. Meanwhile, GNK waits for the shot, incriminates Viswanath in a bribery scandal, and sentences him. As soon as his release, the brutal attacks his family before he gets home, leading to Shantamma’s death. Ergo, Viswanath onslaughts on GNK, who is tormented, making him seek vengeance.
Since then, with Kondaiah and his gang, he has confiscated GNK’s business and turned into a millionaire. Here, Latha shows disagreement with his path, and a rift arises, which resolves after comprehending his rectitude. Parallelly, Viswanath gets Gowri well, who falls for a guy named Bhaskar, and they are to be wedlock. Just before, Viswanath had been assaulted by Prabhu and Shakka, who absconded from prison, where he lost his sight. However, he pretends to be normal and successfully performs the wedding. GNK then abducts the entire bridal party as Viswanath strikes, recouping his vision and ceasing the baddies. At last, the judiciary acquits Viswanath as guilt-free. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Viswanath and Latha with great public applause.
