The film begins with a nefarious Nagaraju conducting infidelity against Janaki after the birth of twins Satyam & Sivam. Janaki implores her husband, but he expels her and maintains a relationship with another woman, Lalitha. Stateless Janaki is clutched by wily Seshu when Inspector Chalapati Rao secures & shelters her. Tragically, Sivam splits therein, and Seshu vends to a bootlegger, Kunti. Time Passed, and once Janaki was ailing, Satyam strove for medicine. Exploiting it, Nagaraju makes him drink for the amount being unbeknownst. Sivam supports him in reaching home in that snag. Following, hoodwinked Lalitha commits suicide, entrusting her baby girl Shanti to Janaki. Kunti constantly torments Sivam, and a generous Baba instills him with the idea of revolt. Plus, his daughter Parvati endeared him from childhood.

Years roll by, and Sivam becomes a gallant who impedes the atrocities. Nagaraju molds into an honorable-seeking vicious racketeer mingling Seshu & his son Mohan. Satyam is a spirited cop appointed to catch them. In that track, he acquaints with a pretty Rekha and crushes. The siblings meet in abrupt conditions, recollect their young age experience, and convert into soulmates. From there, unknown bondage nears Sivam to Janaki & Shanti, and he owns them. He detects that Shanti loves a guy, Gopal, and promises to knit them. Simultaneously, Sivam captures and handovers a murder convict to Satyam but later discerns him as Gopal. Ergo acquits him by perjury for Shanti, at which a rift arises between mates.

Meanwhile, Satyam locates Nagaraju as the actual killer. Hence, he ploys to slay him with his acolyte, i.e., startlingly, Gopal, an imposter who bombs Satyam's vehicle. Spotting it, Sivam rushes to secure him, but it's too late, and Satyam loses his eyesight. Afterward, Sivam lets out the diabolic shade of Gopal and shields Shanti, too. Listening to it, Satyam comprehends his eminence, and they fuse. Now, Sivam takes up his onus and craves Satyam's valor despite no vision. Parallelly, the rival detaches Nagaraju & Seshu when Satyam & Sivam seal their wing. Destiny makes wounded Nagaraju land at Satyam's residence in a chase. Delightful Janaki favors him, but Satyam loathes his father for his betrayal. However, he allows him to reside with them on his mother's plea. Accordingly, Nagaraju ruses to stake a claim in the form of diamonds abducts Mohan via Kunti and threatens Seshu. Satyam breaks it and attempts to arrest his father, but he absconds with Janaki. He is behind them, and Sivam follows Kunti. They all touch down a single spot where Satyam & Sivam know their birth secret. At last, the two cease the baddies, and remorseful Nagaraju bestows his eyes on Satyam as an atonement for his sins. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriages of Sivam & Parvati and Satyam & Rekha.
