In one such case, he joins hands with a few baddies and tactfully frames an innocent Thyagarajan in a murder case and gets death penalty for him. Thyagarajan's wife Srividya along with her children (a son and a daughter) futilely pleads with SR. Thyagarajan is hanged to death and Srividya goes missing while everyone assumes her to be dead as well. Srividya's children are adopted by a good natured lawyer and raises them as his own kids. Years later, the son grows up to be Rajkumar, a leading advocate.

Rajkumar handles a critical case where an innocent doctor Subhadra was framed for a murder by SR's associates and wins the case leading to her release which angers SR. Subhadra's husband, Dr. Ravi thanks Rajkumar and they become good friends. With the help of Ravi, Rajkumar finds that his mother is not dead and she is leading a life in a psychiatric hospital. Knowing this, Rajkumar feels happy and takes his mother with him. Madhu comes up with a plan to make Rajkumar's sister fall for him and later ditch her as a means of revenge against Rajkumar.
