Plot

The film begins with Dhnanjay Rao, a millionaire who is toffee-nosed, high-handed, and an atheist. His absence of consent to prayers & worship at home is repentant to his benevolent wife, Kathyayini. Plus, she is troubled for her two sons, Ramesh & Suresh, who are indulged by their father and turned into turpitudes. Jagannatha Rao, a government official who authorizes the hefty contracts, and Dhannajay Rao make his dereliction of duty. Though he always wants to be candid, he is retreated by his greedy wife, who aspires to knit their daughter Padmini/Pammy with Ramesh as they are infatuated. Meanwhile, Ramesh moved abroad to pursue higher studies and returned after a few years. Suddenly, all are startled to view him as a true Indian when Kathyayini is in jubilation. Then, he states that patriotism flourished in him after witnessing how foreigners worship their culture, customs, & traditions and being conscious of the eminence of his country.

Dhannajay Rao rebukes, forasmuch as what he learned is hardly stupidity and gullibility, and asks him to comprehend the status quo. Parallelly, as an anecdote, Pammy breaks up with Ramesh by enforcing her mother for his ongoing behavior. As of today, Ramesh proceeds to their village as a commoner, looking for inequities, irregularities, and evils in society. At that point, he is acquainted with a local lass, Satyavati, who has a career in saree weaving and endears her. Ramesh spots damn many in that profession going along thrall of mediator Abbaiah Naidu and attempts to hinder him. As a result, he has been thrashed and kicked out. Since the return, Ramesh mentions to his father that what he said is correct, and concurrently, he decides to watch over their cement factory at the very spot.

Now that Ramesh is back in the village, Suresh also aids his brother in his style. They make meteoric changes by forming an association to relieve the saree-weaving pros from the evil clutches of Abbaiah Naidu, bringing soul-searching to the youth manipulated by dirty politicians. They all act together to transform the terrain by constructing Roads, wells, toilets, etc. Presently, Dhannajay Rao ploys to acquire a dam project mutually. Ramesh designed it for the welfare of desperate prime by forming a land army for which Jagannatha Rao also strongholds. Moreover, Kathyayini files a complaint against her husband's barbarities to triumph over Ramesh's aim when the Govt appoints a team. Here, Dhannajay Rao ruses to slaughter them and seeks to force Kathyayini to withdraw the complaint. At last, Suresh tragically dies with the team that reforms Dhanjaya Rao. Finally, the movie ends with a proclamation that "Never mind if you are not patriotic, but do not implant and screw up your children's mindset. Do not scapegoat them in political chess. If youth stems from disappointment and despair, they will only build the ideal society. Hail to the "Mother & the Motherland."
