Justice Chowdary

Advocate RK Chowdary, a disciple of justice, sentenced a hardcore criminal Ranga Rao, to death. Hence, his twin Papa Rao, a vicious hoodlum, avenges and hangs to repay with an advocate, Kailasam, who envies Chowdary. Chowdary is lively with his ideal wife, Janaki; his son, Inspector Ramesh; his daughter-in-law, Latha; and his dumb daughter, Lakshmi. Parallelly, Ramu, a juvenile resembling Chowdary, is also a motor mechanic and racer. Ramu falls for Rekha, Kailasam's daughter. Gazing at Ramu's caliber, Papa Rao selects him as his white knight, who courageously succeeds in several tasks.

Meanwhile, Chowdary acclaimed the throne of high court Chief Justice, which was abided by the black guards. So, they plot by utilizing their acolyte Gopal and knitting him with Lakshmi to exploit Chowdary. Yet, Chowdary is hard, though Gopal expels Lakshmi. Once Rekha witnesses Ramu's criminality and accuses him, he divulges the actuality. Explicitly, all efforts are on behalf of his mother, Radha, who is in prison for the crime Ramu committed. Kailasam discovers Ramu as Chowdary's son when he intrigues him by forging Chowdary as an imposter and provokes Ramu. In the guise of Chowdary, Ramu incriminates Ramesh, which compels Chowdary to sentence his son. After that, Chowdary starts digging into the matter when he learns about Radha and recalls the past. Indeed, Chowdary & Radha are love birds in the college and decide to espouse soon. But suddenly, Radha quits his life. Ascertaining herself dead, Chowdary couples up with Janaki. At present, when Radha is released, Chowdary meets her and knows that she deliberately did the deed, perceiving Janki's love. Chowdary also explains the credulity of Ramu. Listening to it, Radha makes Ramu realize. Being conscious of it, Papa Rao seizes Chowdary's family, including Kailasam. However, Chowdary gamely breaks his play along with Ramu. At last, Chowdary & Ramu cease Papa Rao when Radha sacrifices her life while guarding Chowdary. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Ramu & Rekha.
