Since father-son share an enormous deep bond. As of today, Sandhya acquires a fine job, dumbs her husband, and willy-nilly tries to grab the kid. Like a shot, Chiranjeevi retorts, challenges Sandhya to rear their son better than her, and also states that one day she will discern the values of relations. Presently, Chiranjeevi lands in the city underdetermination to admit Viswanath to the finest school. At the outset itself, he is swindled by a scammer who sticks a lot of dictionaries to him in name of the business that does not work. He struggles hard and faces many mortifications for the survival of his son. Just like being thrown away from railway platforms because of nonpassengers, kicked out from a wedding ceremony taking into account uninvited guests and sleeping inside an empty movie theatre, etc. Anyhow, Chiranjeevi thresholds the pain with patience. To keep Viswanath happy he fictions himself as an undercover CBI officer because he should not know the actuality. Now Chiranjeevi succeeds in acquiring a seat in a renowned school but its fee is very pricey. The school administration gives him 1 month time to pay it and takes Viswanath. Hence, Chiranjeevi scrimps & scrounges doing countless works for 20 hours a day including donating his blood for the money. In that process, once, he rescues a factory when with an officer's aid he applies for a fireman post and prepares for it. On the final day, Chiranjeevi triumphs in accumulating the amount but alas, some goons steal it which crushes him. Simultaneously, Viswanath meets with an accident and is operated on soon for which Chiranjeevi needs money. So, he flares up on the thugs who robbed him, retrieves his money, and safeguards his son. Therefrom, everything goes while Chiranjeevi pays the fee, intellectually sells all the dictionaries and gains the fireman job. At last, Sandhya also backs after soul-searching. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the reunion of the family.
