Plot
Surya (Darshan) and Adi (Aditya) are two close friends. Surya is a poor youngster who falls in love with Lakshmi (Lakshmi Rai), the daughter of a rich man, Rajeev Kumar (Rajeev). Meanwhile, Adi, the son of a rich man, Raghunath Rao (Rangayana Raghu), falls in love with a poor girl, Sindhu (Sindhu Tolani). This is not acceptable to the rich fathers, Rajeev Kumar and Raghunath Rao. They devise a plot to separate the lovers and want Adi to marry Lakshmi.
