Plot
Parvateesam is a retired veena musician with two daughters, Kalyani and Veena. Kalyani has been engaged to her cousin Chalapathi since childhood. However, after she refuses his advances, an angered Chalapathi marries another woman. This shatters the family and Parvateesam tries to find another match for Kalyani. Meanwhile, a blind veena musician named Prabhakar moves in next door. He becomes Parvateesam's student and develops admiration for Kalyani.
Kalyani then finds out that her sister is pregnant. While Veena's lover promises to marry her and his family is also willing, Kalyani is the older sister and thus must be married first, which severely increases the urgency of Kalyani's marriage. As each one of Kalyani's marriage proposals falls through, she finally asks Prabhakar to marry her. He gladly agrees, but unfortunately, he dies in a car accident and Kalyani finally goes mad. Veena reveals the truth to her father and her marriage goes through. At her wedding, a crazed Kalyani runs away and begins throwing rocks at a leaving train.
