Manasulo Maata Story
The film begins with Vasanth, son of a tycoon, proceeding to Vizag for his higher education. A charming girl named Priya sparks his attention at the railway station, and he crushes. After admission, he butts heads with a fiery senior Shankar. After a series, they turn into soulmates. Once, Vasanth visited Shankar’s home, where his mother showed resentment, and he quit. Later, she understands his bonhomie nature, which has changed the violent Shankar into a soft one and affectionate to him.
Vasanth narrates his love to another mate, Guru Murthy, who boosts his courage. Fortuitously, he only glimpses Priya in Vizag; surprisingly, she is Shankar’s younger sibling. Being unbeknownst, Vasanth chases her and tells Shankar about it, which he averts. Due to Shankar’s antipathies toward love, but on request of Vasanth, he walks to view his friend’s sweetheart. Here, Vasanth discovers Priya as Shankar’s sister and calms. Now, Vasanth is under dichotomy, but with the encouragement of Guru Murthy, he moves further.
Priya gets annoyed, resulting in Vasanth landing in prison, where he quiets to keep Priya’s honor. Shankar acquits him and praises Vasanth’s eminence before Priya when she starts liking him and is about to announce. During that time, Vasanth spots Shankar enraging several times at a person, Raghu. So, Vasanth seeks the truth when he moves rearward. Shankar has one more sibling, Radhika; back then, Raghu is his best buddy, like Vasanth. On Radhika’s wedding, she elopes with Raghu, which leads to the mortification of Shankar’s family and his father’s death.
Listening to it, Vasanth declares not to let love come before his friendship. Besides, Shankar fixes Priya’s alliance as grief-stricken; she approaches Vasanth and expresses her passion, which he denies, and consumes poison. Knowing it, Vasanth & Guru Murthy rush to the hospital. At that stage, Guru Murthy outbreaks and proclaims the actuality. At last, emotional Shankar understands the sacred sacrifice of Vasanth and feels proud of their friendship.
Finally, the movie ends on a happy note, with Shankar approving the marriage of Vasanth & Priya.
