After returning, Bhaskar's younger brother Shekar and mother Subhadramma give him warm welcome. Here everyone's hearts are delightful except Zamindar's step-brother Kodandam a vicious person, who is malevolent towards Bhaskar for the property. Eventually, Bhaskar loves his cousin Shobha and the elders fix their alliance. Chinnaiah leads a happy family life with his wife Kannamma and all the villagers credit him for his amiable nature except a goon Ganganna the henchman of Kodandam. Ahead, though Bhaskar is a good-humane, Shekar is furious & wild and thinks penniless as baseness also suffers insolvents by making them impoverished. Aware of it, Chinnaiah abuses Shekar when angered Bhaskar slaps him, later he repents and reaches the village along with Manager Chokka Rao to apologize when Bhaskar presents Chinnaiah some sweets in which he secretly places some amount to clear the debts of villagers. Thereafter, Bhaskar wants to go for a ride into the sea when Chinnaiah says he will be back in a while. Then, Ganganna seeks to slay Bhaskar by the instructions of Kondandam, he backstabs and takes him to mid of the sea. Spotting it, Chinnaiah chases them but unfortunately, they are stuck in the whirlpool.
Knowing the tragic event Subhadramma gets a heart attack and Kondandam ploys to grab the property. Simultaneously, Shekar files a case against Chinnaiah for slaughtering Bhaskar by showing the amount in the sweet box as a piece of evidence. Fortuitously, Chinnaiah floats to the shore and expresses his sorrow to Chokka Rao when Shekar understands the virtue of Chinnaiah and requests him to take Bhaskar's position to safeguard their mother & property. Due to loyalty, he accepts and withstands many turbulences and even stands strong when villagers are converting his wife to a widow. Later he secretly reveals the facts to Kannamma and takes her to the palace which is witnessed by Ganganna who attributes the illicit relationship between them. Here entire villagers denounce Kannamma and Chinnaiah stays in dilemma and is not able to reveal the truth, in addition to that Subhadramma & Shobha also chide him when he silently divulges it to Shobha. Now the village head Peddaia forcibly makes remarriage arrangements for Kannamma with Ganganna. In that critical situation, like a godsend, Bhaskar is alive and is rescued by fishermen, but due to his hard time goes into the clutches of Kondandam when Shobha frees him and they rush to the estate. During the time of the wedding, Shekar & Chinnaiah reaches the venue when a clash arises and leads to severe destruction which calms down with Bhaskar's arrival.
