Nindu Hrudayalu Story
The film opens with the brutal murder of Sridhar by the gangster Veeraju. Young Gopi vows revenge. Meanwhile, another tragedy unfolds: Kamini’s poisoning of Prasad, with only his daughter Sarada surviving. Orphaned, Prasad’s son (Chitti Babu, later called Ramu) is raised by Maruti. Years pass, and Gopi, Ramu, and Maruti form a makeshift family under the care of Govindaiah. Gopi becomes determined to track down Veeraju—now disguised as the respectable Raja Shekaram—who poses as a benevolent figure with a fake family including Kamini and Sarada, now a doctor whom he raised.
Fate brings the trio closer: Ramu marries Govindaiah’s proud daughter Lalitha; Maruti marries the dancer Geeta. Prasad reappears as a lunatic cared for by Sarada. Gopi senses something fishy about Raja Shekaram, and through clever disguising and persistence, he exposes the impostor. In the climactic sequence, Veeraju realizes the consequences of his actions and surrenders. Tragically, Janaki sacrifices herself to protect Gopi. The film concludes on a heartfelt note with the emotional reunion of the now-reconciled family.
