Manchi Rojulu Vachchaayi Story
The film begins in a village where Zamindar Bangaraiah is a tyrant, and his son Raja is a swaggerer. Gopalam, the son of Seetaiah, the staunch of Zamindar, always hinders them. Due to circumstances, Gopalam must work as a laborer at the Zamindar’s house. Meanwhile, Zamindar’s daughter Geeta, a vainglory woman, lands at the village after completing her studies. Both Raja and Geeta humiliate Gopalam, which he endures. During that time, panchayat elections arrive, and Gopalam decides to take a stand against Zamindar when they ante with an unusual wager that Gopalam is offering Geeta as the prize. Ultimately, Gopalam wins and seeks Geeta’s hand when perturbed Zamindar tries to commit suicide. At this point, Geeta is compelled to marry Gopalam, but she treats him low and charges against him when Gopalam takes a vow that until she accepts him, he will stay away from her.
Afterward, he forcibly habituates an impoverished lifestyle to her when Raja becomes furious and tries to molest Gopalam’s sister, Radha, but she escapes. In that anger, she tries to set fire to the Zamindar’s crop when Gopalam obstructs her, claiming that it is a yield and effort of farmers. Exploiting it, Raja sets fire to the crop, indicts Gopalam, and severely punishes him in the panchayat. To keep Radha’s honor, Gopalam remains silent when Geeta understands the virtue of her husband and brings out the truth. At last, people revolt against Zamindar and Raja. Finally, the movie ends with Gopalam and Geeta leading a happy marital life.
