Balaraju (Srikanth) is the only son of Raghava Raju (Krishnam Raju) and grandson of Subbaraju (Kota Srinivasa Rao). Balaraju lost his mother when he was a child. Raghava Raju brings him up with great care so that he will not miss his mother. He does not consider marrying another lady because he thinks that it might deprive his love for his son. Balaraju falls in love with a girl, Lahari (Simran) during a flight journey. He also gets his love accepted by everyone. One day, he happens to read his father's diary and realizes that his father had suppressed feelings for a lady called Sravani (Ambika). He wants to get his father married to Sravani along with his marriage. He is even ready to sacrifice his love when Lahari misunderstands his intentions. Knowing his son's broken love, Raghava Raju tries to send Sravani far away so that his son can get married without any problems. But Subbaraju and Balaraju stop this and convince Raghava Raju. Finally, Sravani understands his intentions, and all ends well. Cast
