Nammina Bantu Story

The film begins with a distressed peasant, Chandrayya, who checks in a village with his daughter Lakshmi and an ox. He meets an evil landlord, Bhujanga Rao, to seek land on lease. He promises to give two acres of fertile land after yielding his mango orchards and provides another sick ox. Chandrayya names them Ramalakshmanulu. Prasad, the staunch of Bhujanga Rao, shares a bond with his master beyond that of a servant and takes care of his daughter Sarala as his sibling. In parallel, as a glimpse, Devayya, Bhujanga Rao’s nephew, returns home and falls for Sarala. After a while, Chandrayya successfully yields the mango orchard when Bhujanga Rao deceives him by endowing a dry land. Chandrayya decides to dig a well when Sarala also repents from her father’s breach, so she supports them with Devayya’s aid. After crossing many hurdles, Chandrayya acquires triumph, but a motor is necessary to dig the water, which requires a considerable amount.

Then, as usual, bullock cart races are conducted, which Prasad wins every year, so Lakshmi determines to participate with Ramalakshmanulu for the prize amount. Here, Sarala pleads with Prasad to lose the bet, which he denies, as a trusty workhorse who cannot mortgage the prestige of his sovereign. During the race, Prasad attempts his best shot, but Lakshmi wins. Bhujanga Rao accuses Prasad therein, and he quits his service. Peeved by this, Bhujanga Rao is intrigued to destroy the motor, which Prasad obstructs and gets injured. Now Lakshmi comprehends Prasad’s integrity, and they grow close. After that, Prasad collaborates with the peasants and performs cooperative farming, which irks Bhujanga Rao and prompts him to ploy against them. At last, in the final battle, Bhujanga Rao falls into a bog, and Prasad struggles to extricate him but fails. Before dying, he entrusts Sarala’s responsibility to Prasad. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriages of Prasad & Lakshmi and Devayya & Sarala.
