Plot[edit]
Gowtam is youngest of three sons of Collector Shambhu Prasad. His wife Chaya Rani is a professor, eldest son Manoj is a doctor, second one Neeraj is a businessman, and his daughters-in-law are also in a well-to-do status. But his last son fails to go beyond S.S.C.. Gowtam is more close to his neighbors Dr. Bhanu and Kondal Rao than his family. He is not respected in the family and doesn't have a clear goal in life. He also builds a strong friendship with tutor Janaki, who teaches his brother's kids. Though Mr. Prasad ignores his son's small gaffes, he doesn't spare him when he discovers that Gowtam forged his signature. Enraged, he throws him out of the house. Now homeless, Gowtam is taken by Janaki to her house and falls in love with her. There, he starts working as a mechanic repairing vehicles. He gets inspired by the words of Bhanu and plunges himself into automobile repairing. He invents a carburetor that gives a mileage of 120 km per liter and makes his brother as the patentee for his apparatus. He saves his eldest brother from a conspiracy of hospital management and also fixes the marriage of his sister with her lover. In spite of doing all good to his family, he never lets his father know about these things as his father always wishes to see his third son as an I.A.S. officer. He strives for that and his love is also not informed of his efforts. The movie ends with sharing his triumph with his father.

Reception[edit]
Idlebrain wrote "First half of the film is entertaining. Second half of the film is mixed with some emotional moments and a few boring moments. The plus points of the film are decent presentation and good music".[4] Indiaglitz wrote "Arun Prasad, as a director, has shown a tendency to hark back on his previous films. But he has redeemed himself by distilling youthful fervor all through the movie".[5]
