Kodandarami Reddy.[2] It stars Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Jayasudha, Radha (in her Telugu debut) and music composed by Chakravarthy.[3] The film was a remake of Tamil film Keezh Vaanam Sivakkum.
Gopala Krishna, a tomcat, spends his life frolicking as the son of Dr. Murthy, an eye specialist who is unbeknownst to his son. Once Gopi gets acquainted with a middle-class girl, Sujatha, he entices her, but in vain. Surprisingly, she turns into the daughter of Murthy's sister, Kousalya, who detached from him years ago. Before dying, she entrusts Sujatha's responsibility to him. After reaching home, Sujatha realizes Gopi is her cousin. So, with a play, she reforms, knits him, and they lead a joyful life. Soon after, a blind girl, Radha, enters via Dr.Murthy, requesting him to recoup her vision to seek vengeance on her hoodwinker. Unfortunately, Gopi turns into him. At present, Murthy provides shelter to Radha, and she befriends Sujatha. As of now, tragically, Sujatha is diagnosed as terminally ill, which collapses Gopi and startled viewing Radha, who discerns him. She questions Murthy when he confesses guilt and is penalized by explaining Sujatha's condition. Here, Sujatha overhears the conversation. Finally, the movie ends with Sujatha uniting Gopi & Radha and breathing her last happily by donating her eyes to Radha.
