Sonta Ooru Story
The film begins in a village where a benevolent Rayanam becomes bankrupt owing to goodwill. He possesses two sons, Madhav and Chinnabbai, and a daughter, Aruna. After graduation, Madhav returns and starts cultivating his close mate Dasu’s land on lease. Parallelly, Lakshmi, a milk seller, deifies Rayanam, silently loves Madhav, and aids them unbeknownst. Pitchamma, a widow, wants to marry her daughter Damayanti to Madhav if he takes roots in the city. Anyhow, Dr. Damodaram Tripada (DDT) arrives and allures Damayanti. Meanwhile, Chinnabbai fights with his father to launch a business, but he starts with backing from Pitchamma. Dayanidhi, the sly Munsif, lusts after Lakshmi and questions Madhav about her warmth when he discerns and affirms to marry her.
Today, Rayanam fixes an alliance for Aruna by borrowing but calls it off as Chinnabbai heists the amount. At this, Dasu’s mother, Chukkamma, seeks Rayanam to wed Aruna with her son, which he denies. From there, begrudged Chukkamma and Pitchamma spread venom against them. On the eve of Deepavali, Pitchamma ruses to strike Madhav, Aruna attempts suicide, and DDT and Dayanidhi seize Lakshmi. The rest of the story is about how they get rid of these hazardous situations.
