Premalu Pellillu Story
Dr. Madhu is an idealist who holds high societal esteem. He loves and knits vainglory spendthrift Indira, for which his orthodox mother is half-hearted. Plus, a rift always arises between them because of divergent customs. Besides, an upright Raghavaiah resides in a village with his wife Janaki, son Mohan, and niece Anuradha/Radha. Raghavaiah desires to espouse Mohan with Radha despite the greedy Janaki’s refusal. Once, Radha fractures her leg, and Madhu treats her. Next to Radha is Malathi, the daughter of a tycoon who is crippled in an accident. It severely declines her, whom Mohan consoles and becomes frequent to her, and she yearns to wedlock him. Being materialistic, Mohan accepts it, which Raghavaiah enrages, but Janaki vocalizes her support, and Mohan bonds with Malathi. Following this agony, Radha walks to the town for a post, where she befriends Madhu’s cousin Saroja. Time passes, and Madhu’s couple is blessed with two kids, but Indira’s sumptuous mindset remains the same, which he endures. Slowly, she dumps him into colossal debt and mortification. She also detests her progeny, not any beloved feelings, and disdains her mother-in-law. Things get worse when Madhu freaks out, and as a result, they file for a divorce. Heartache Madhu gets addicted to narcotic injections. Consequently, Radha arrives via Saroja, who revives his disintegrated family and showers motherly affection to the infants. Ergo, Madhu’s mother wants to carry deuterogamy to her son. Madhu stipulates to Radha that she shall be a mother to his kids, not his spouse, and they splice. From there, Radha adores her husband and strives to reform him despite his rebukes and discards. Mohan is obsessed with wealth and overlooks his parents when Radha aids them, which makes Janaki regretful.
Moreover, Raghavaiah turned terminally ill, and when Madhu diagnosed him, he should undergo surgery. Just before he encounters Indira, who mocks him as impaired, Madhu again takes sedation. However, Radha, with her grit, enlightens him regardless of being beaten to death when his integrity emanates. Forthwith, he sets foot for Radha after accomplishing surgery, seeks pardon, and wholeheartedly receives her as his better half. Apart from this, Mohan continuously pesters Malathi for his luxuries, which her father withholds. So, he hustles for divorce and approaches Madhu for a fake certificate, unbeknownst to him. Whereat, he detects and rectifies him with Radha and reunites the pair. Meanwhile, remorseful Indira eats humble pie, craves for her children, and steps up when Radha conceives. Indira implores Radha to spend two days with the kiddies, which she approves in the absence of Madhu. Anyhow, they cannot stand in that atmosphere and abscond. Concurrently, Madhu returns to chastise Radha, which throws her into labor. Now Madhu and Indira hasten for the children. At last, Indira sacrifices her life while guarding them, and they admit her as a mother at the last breath. Finally, the movie ends happily with Radha delivering a baby girl.
