Suputhrudu Story
The film begins in a village where a naïve girl, Lakshmi, loves a materialistic Dharmaraju, and her grandfather, Parandhamaiah, fixes their alliance. At the same time, Dharmaraju’s maternal uncle Raghunatha Rao, a millionaire, aspires to knit his daughter with him, but Lakshmi becomes pregnant. So, Dharmaraju ploys with his friend Nagabhushanam and denounces Lakshmi before villagers, leading to Parandhamaiah’s death, and Lakshmi is ostracized. Right now, Dr. Dayanidhi, a humanitarian, shields her, and she gives birth to a baby boy, Gopi. At present, Lakshmi is scared of society when Dayanidhi adopts Gopi, and Lakshmi stays behind as his governess. Years roll by, and Gopi rises under the pampering of Dayanidhi and treats Lakshmi as a servant. In college, he falls for a charming girl, Madhavi, the daughter of Nagabhushanam.
Being aware of it, everyone accepts their espousal, apart from Lakshmi, as Nagabhushanam is responsible for her plights. At that moment, an enraged Gopi necks her out when Dayanidhi is afflicted. Before dying, he divulges the fact to Gopi. Following this, Gopi lands in their village and starts his play to prove his mother’s purity with the aid of Madhavi. At last, he triumphs over the knaves in confessing their guilt when Dharmaraju reforms and affirms Lakshmi as his wife. Finally, the movie ends happily with Gopi and Madhavi’s marriage.
