Pilla Zamindar Story
The film begins with Madhu, a mechanic, the son of a lorry driver, and Shankaraiah, who always quarrels with Chitti, a cranky laborer, and they fall in love. Now, Shankaraiah has a stroke, and on his deathbed, he divulges that Madhu is the grandson of a multi-millionaire Balaraju. A few years ago, Shankaraiah and his friend Srihari had an accident in which a couple died when Srihari frightened Shankaraiah. So, he quits, but out of benevolence, he reared Madhu despite knowing his grandfather’s whereabouts. At present, Madhu approaches Balaraju, where he spots Srihari purporting his son Raja instead of him, and is aware of relatives surrounding Balaraju to usurp his wealth while under the guise of serving him.
Here, Raja intrigues Balaraju to slay him, so Madhu enters the house as a killer with Chitti, acquires the faith of his grandfather, and starts teasing the sly. Following this, Raja and Srihari realize Madhu is the actual heir, so they ruse by creating Balaraju as deranged and join him in the mental hospital. Meanwhile, Madhu secures him and reveals his birth secret. At last, both gamely encounter the baddies and cease them. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Madhu and Chitti.
