Plot

Gopi is the head of a joint family consisting of his three sons, their wives, and children. When his family decides to punish him by not talking to him for consuming alcohol, he arranges advertises for a caretaker. The family apologizes later and is forgiven. Gopi's granddaughter Sridevi has her engagement. Krishna, who arrives with Sridevi's fiancée's family, wins everyone's hearts with his friendliness. When it is revealed that Krishna has come in response to Gopi's advertisement for a caretaker, Gopi immediately hires him. Lakshmi is Gopi's other granddaughter, who became mentally insane after witnessing the death of her parents Devaki and Vasudeva, due to her parents, three years back. She lives in the outhouse. Krishna befriends Lakshmi, who later starts to recover. After Sridevi's wedding, the family decides to get Lakshmi married to Chetan, her cross-cousin, who just wants to inherit her wealth. Krishna suggests they get her married after she recovers fully, but is rebuked. The next day, it is discovered that Krishna has fled with Lakshmi. With the help of a boatwoman Chukki, they reach a music college. With the help of music, Krishna helps Lakshmi, who loves music, regain her stability. Krishna and Lakshmi return to the joint family. After beating him up initially, when they find out that Lakshmi has fully recovered, the family apologizes. Lakshmi is told about her upcoming wedding. While Lakshmi thinks Krishna is the groom, the family has chosen Chetan. Krishna leaves the house. Lakshmi is shocked and returns to the outhouse. One of Gopi's friends reveals about Krishna's past. Past: Krishna's real name is Shivaram Krishna, son of a hospital chairman named Ram Kumar. One day, a rich businessman soon dies in the hospital, and the blame falls on Krishna's hospital. Krishna later learns that the businessman was actually killed by his partners. He managers to obtain evidence and decide to hand over to the CBI. The businessman's partners learn about this, and sends their henchman to kill him on the train. However, the henchmen instead kills Lakshmi's parents, who had exchanged their seats with Krishna. On finding out that this incident made Lakshmi go insane, a guilty Krishna seeks Gopi's friend's help to take him to her house, so that he can help to treat her illness. Present: Gopi calls Ram Kumar and reveals everything, but later learns that Krishna has left for Europe. However, Krishna arrives at Gopi's house and plays the tune of Lakshmi's song on the piano. Lakshmi meets Krishna, who refuses to take her with him though, since she has a loving family and cannot leave them. Gopi intervenes, and sends Lakshmi with Krishna, telling him that she is not leaving her family, but Krishna has joined their family.
