Dr. Krishna is a nobleman enriched with human values & norms and dedicated his life to his hospital. Plus, he is under research on inventing an anti-polio medicine. Dr. Vijay, the grandson of Zamindar Sivaramakrishna Prasad, is a medical graduate but still enjoys his life frolic and constantly quarrels with Parvati, the daughter of Krishna. Once, Krishna gets a massive breathing attack when Vijay also meets with an accident, and they utilize the oxygen cylinder allotted for Krishna to Vijay. As a result, Krishna dies, which leaves his hospital & patients as orphans. Soon after recovery, everyone loathes Vijay, and Parvati claims him as a homicide, making him repent. During that plight, a nurse, Sarada, guides him, who aims to follow in Krishna's footsteps and joins as a doctor in his hospital. Initially, Vijay faces the music, which he thresholds and craves himself as an amicable. Anyhow, he calls for something else about the ideologies of Krishna when Sarada notifies him about his diary. So, Vijay proceeds to Parvati, but she detests him and hands him to the hospital. Nobody gets and throws it into the dustbin as it is in code. Vijay acquires and decodes it with admiration and dedication. Currently, he likes to divulge to Parvati, which she denies. Whereat, she meets with an accident and tragically loses her eyesight. Further, her hatred towards Vijay and the public insults to him magnifies. However, with cheerfulness, Vijay moves on and starts serving Parvati as Shekar. Meanwhile, Vijay triumphs over Krishna's research, which repudiates Parvati and spits doctors. They all file a charge against Vijay, saying he has gained victory by stealing Krishna's diary. During the inquiry, all imputed him as a criminal, and the medical board terminated him. After that judgment, Vijay seeks to speak for a while, shows the people Krishna aided in his life without giving his identity, and reads the diary affirming an adage of human values that tells how blissful one gets while succoring without selfishness. At last, the entire world comprehends Vijay's virtue, including Parvati, and the knowledge that Vijay is only Shekar pleads pardon. Following, she recoups her vision. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Vijay & Parvati.
