Plot

[edit]

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. Ignorant of the crooked plans of their parents, Adi and Lakshmi finally agree to marry each other. The incidents surrounding the weddings and the close friendship between Surya and Adi form the remaining plot.
