Plot[edit]
Captain Nagarjuna saves the passengers and the flight by landing safely despite engine failure. He falls in love with one of his passengers, Radha. Co-pilot Murthy and Radha's friend Manju are lovers. Radha, a renowned classical dancer, visited her uncle, Ananda Rao. He impersonates Ananda Rao's nephew. He insistently tries to make Radha accept his love. Ananda Rao returns from his business trip and promises to help Nag. Radha refuses to listen. Nagarjuna challenges Radha for a dance competition. The loser shall listen to the winner. During the competition, Radha loses her step and, at the brink of losing, kisses Nag. Stunned, Nag stops dancing. Radha wins. Nag accuses her, and he would never again approach her. Nag meets with an accident while driving in an agitated state of mind. Radha goes to the hospital to reveal her past. Nag refuses to listen. They get married and live blissfully. Prabhu, Radha's manager who also wished to marry her, plans revenge. He invites Nag to an art exhibition where Nag finds a portrait of Radha, which depicts a mole at an objectionable part of the body. Nag starts suspecting Radha. He meets the artist Ravi, who made the portrait. He invites Ravi to felicitate him for his award-winning picture. Radha is stunned to see Ravi at her home. Nag's behavior troubles her. On the stage, Radha unveils the picture. When they reach home, Radha accuses Nag of suspecting her. When he wants to know the truth, she explains about Ravi. Ravi and Radha are college mates. Ravi is in love with Radha, but she disagrees. She discontinues college, unable to bear ragging by Ravi's friends. Ravi is Ananda Rao's son. Radha finally agrees to marry Ravi at the insistence of her mother and Ananda Rao. Ravi cancels the wedding by bringing a previous wife. Radha decides never to marry. Nag still wants an explanation about the mole. Radha denies any knowledge and leaves him for suspecting her. When Nag starts drinking and decides to die, Radha pledges to kill Ravi to prove her innocence. Overhearing, Ravi writes letters to Nag and Ananda Rao. The truth was that Ravi canceled his marriage with Radha because he had a fatal illness. He noticed the mole when his friends tore Radha's blouse while ragging her at college. Ravi dies, confirming Radha's innocence. Nag and Radha reconcile and live happily.
