Plot

Vamsi is an energetic man who claims to be the reincarnation of Salim, the son of 16th-century Mughal Emperor Akbar. He has separated from his lover Anarkali by walling her up and now stalks her under the guise of Sirisha. Sirisha makes fun of him, but eventually falls in love with him after he self-immolates. Shakuntala Devi, Sirisha's vain and scheming mother, discovers their relationship through her brother Gnaneswara Rao, who wants to pair Sirisha with his son Giri. Shakuntala slanders Vamsi's family and separates the couple.

Twenty years ago, Shakuntala arranged a marriage between her son Seshu Babu and Gnaneswara Rao's daughter. However, Seshu Babu fell in love with Vamsi's sister, Padmavati, and rejected his fiancée. Gnaneswara Rao tried to kill Padmavati, who died giving birth to a daughter, Sarada. Parvatamma, Vamsi's mother, asks him to marry Sarada, but he refuses and declares his love for Sirisha. Shakuntala agrees to Vamsi's marriage to Sirisha on the condition that she inherits her wealth.

After the wedding night, Vamsi kicks Sirisha out and gives her his property. When asked why he did it, he remains silent. Sirisha then forges fake certificates claiming that she is a virgin and that Vamsi is impotent. Vamsi remains patient, and when Sirisha becomes pregnant, he exposes Shakuntala's evil deeds and announces his marriage to Sarada. Sirisha attempts suicide, but Vamsi rescues her and forgives Shakuntala. The movie ends with Vamsi and Sirisha reuniting.
