⁣In 1963 at Ambajipeta, Kishtayya, an orphan, befriends Anji and his mother, who welcome him into their family. As Anji and Kishtayya develop a sibling-like bond, Anji's mother passes away, and her creditor Varadaraju asks the kids to repay the loan by selling their house to him. Varadaraju's attempts are thwarted by Peddayya, the village's local government leader, who offers to repay their loan. This forges a sense of loyalty in Kishtayya towards Peddayya. Meanwhile, Anji tries to persuade Kishtayya to confess his love to Varadaraju's daughter, Varamahalakshmi "Varalu". Kishtayya, however, fails to do so when he saves Peddayya, who is injured in an accident on the same day when he planned to propose to Varalu. As a group of people run towards Peddayya to kill him, Kishtayya picks up Peddayya's revolver and shoots them to save the latter's life. Since then, Peddayya considered both Kishtayya and Anji as his own men and is affectionate towards them, which angers his children. Varadaraju, meanwhile, sends Varalu to Madras for her higher education, separating her from Kishtayya.
