Nindu Manasulu

Raju is a fearless and straight shooter, unable to withstand any injustice, which frequently sentences him. Gazing at his caliber, Seshu, a felonious, lures Raju to enroll him in his ring, but in vain. Raju resides in a colony where diverse communities of various mindsets stay together, and his appearance is dreadful to everyone. Besides, Raghupati, a wealthy alcoholic, lives with his upstanding daughter Susheela. To get hold of his property, Veerabhadraiah and his virago wife Durgamma slyly ruse to knit Susheela with their elder son who is terminally ill. However, they lie to Raghupati that their younger son will marry Susheela and distract Raghupati with his vices at the time of the wedding. Just before the nuptial, Raghupati discerns it and storms in and injures Veerabhadraiah. The groom dies of a heart attack due to the gunfire. Raghupati absconds, leaving Susheela in their claws.

Meanwhile, Seshu steals a necklace with the help of his sidekick Rosy and indicts Raju. He catches Rosy when the brutal forges the death of Seshu's sidekick, Dasu, making Raju a puppet who becomes a burglar. Once, Raju enters Veerabhadraiah's house for robbery, where he spots Shankaram, the younger one of Veerabhadraiah, attempting to molest Susheela; he rescues and shelters her. In her acquaintance, Raju reforms and gains the admiration & affection of the colony.

Eventually, Chanti, Raju's trusted helper, breaks out the mystery of Dasu with the aid of his sister Chitti, where Seshu's spiteful pawn moves backward. So, enraged Seshu abducts Susheela, and fortunately, hidden Raghupati spots it. Being conscious of it, Raju onslaughts on Seshu when Rosy sacrifices her life while guarding Raju. Following, Raghupati slaughters Seshu and flies. Right now, the judiciary acclaims Raju as guilty. At last, Raghupati surrenders himself and acquits Raju. Before leaving, he unites Raju & Susheela. Finally, the movie ends happily, with the colony warmly welcoming the couple.
