Manchi Chedu Story
The film begins with a spiteful Kutumba Rao living with his benevolent wife, Sarada. Since she is childless, Kutumba Rao scorns her and chooses his niece, Pankajam, for remarriage, and Sarada quits. Parallelly, Kutumba Rao receives a mail that his opulent brother has expired, so Kutumba Rao ruses by bagging the wealth and discarding his kid. Fortuitously, Sarada fosters him as Madhu. Simultaneously, she conceives and delivers a baby boy, Gopi. Time passes, once Gopi rages, getting knowledge of his father, resulting in the death of one, and he must pay a penalty. Years roll by, and Gopi turns into a bandit. As a VDO, Madhu lands at the same village where Kutumba Rao conducts the enormities and falls for his sidekick Kaali’s sibling Chandra. Destiny makes Gopi and Kaali mates. Being unbeknownst to Kutumba Rao’s identity, Gopi fuses with his violations. Besides, Madhu aims to construct a school; on its ground, he accumulates funds and organizes a play by the famous dancer Manju. Heading towards it, she is imprisoned by Gopi when she senses his excellent soul and adores him despite his path. Today, Madhu has become a tough nut. Kutumba Rao orders Kaali to slay him, who fails by detecting his sister’s endearment.
Apart from this, Manju’s mother implores Gopi to step down from her daughter’s life because of his line. Gopi accepts it, but Manju stands strong. Begrudged, Kutumba Rao intrigues by heisting the benefaction amount via Gopi, incriminates, and apprehends Madhu. Knowing it, Gopi determines to shield him as guilty. Plus, he understands that Madhu is his brother who is spotting Sarada, whom he calls Kutumba Rao miscreant. In the interim, Manju’s mother perceives Gopi’s integrity, endorses the amount, and acquits Madhu. Moreover, she assigns the splice of Gopi and Manju. Following this, Gopi moves infuriatedly to slaughter Kutumba Rao. Sarada backs and bars him, proclaiming Kutumba Rao to be his father. Hereupon, Kutumba Rao bursts out of remorse and reforms after soul-searching. Currently, Gopi gets delayed to the nuptial when Manju desperately consumes poison. At last, Gopi ties the knot to Manju, who leaves her breath in his lap, and he too follows her. Finally, the movie ends by showing that turtle doves are immortal.
