Mangalya Balam Story

Zamindar Papa Rao resides with his shrew wife Kantamma, that ill-treats her mother-in-law Parvatamma, and they have two children, Suryam & Saroja. In their village, Papa Rao’s sibling, Seeta, lives with her peasant husband, Rangaiah, and the couple has a son, Chandra Shekar. A rift erupts between families due to Seeta’s nuptial unwillingness to her brother. Once Parvatamma packs up with Seeta, conscious of her terminally ill state, with Suryam & Saroja. Whereat, Seeta aspires to reunite their families with Chandram & Saroja’s wedlock and pleads with her mother. So, Parvatamma calls Papa Rao before he lands, and Seeta’s condition worsens. Hence, Parvatamma accomplishes the eve by espousing the infants. Being aware of it, furious Papa Rao quits with Suryam & Saroja when grief-stricken Seeta dies.

Upon transpiring about it, an infuriated Kantamma annuls via the court, depriving the wedding chain ”Mangalsutram” of Saroja, which Suryam preserves. Years roll by, and Chandram civilizes and backs up. Then, Parvatamma divulges the past and requests him to retrieve his wife. Thus, Chandram acquaints Saroja unbeknownst with the aid of his bestie, Kailasam, and they fall in love. Parallelly, Kailasam secures Saroja’s mate Meenakshi while committing suicide for forced marriage when Saroja shelters her, and he crushes with her. Following this, Suryam unveils Saroja’s splice by handing over the wedding chain. Now, Saroja is in a dichotomy but complies with the wedlock and keeps Chandram distant. Meanwhile, Parvatamma’s health declines, so Suryam brings her home. Besides, Chandram seeks to meet Saroja, and Papa Rao necks him out, knowing his identity. Saroja enlightens the fact by Parvatamma and rejoins the pair. Here, stubborn Papa Rao forcibly fixes Saroja’s alliance with Kailasam, which Parvatamma opposes & quits. So, Chandram enacts a play and flees with Saroja. Papa Rao chases and, in enrage, shoots them when, unfortunately, Parvatamma is wounded. Spotting it, Papa Rao admitted guilt and reformed Kantamma. Finally, the movie ends happily with the family’s reunion.
