Plot

The story begins in Amalapuram, located in the Konaseema district, where Dasarath Ramam, an honest government employee at the Amalapuram Registrar's Office, is known for his integrity, never asking for more than his due salary. In stark contrast, his son Raghava, born to this principled man, has grown up indulging in vices from an early age, including gambling, betting, and accumulating debts.^[4]

Despite his father's continuous efforts to reform him through strict discipline, Raghava's behavior remains unchanged. Eventually, driven by the desire to earn quick money through shortcuts, Raghava forges his father's signature. This deceit taints Rama's reputation with corruption, a burden he finds intolerable. In response, Rama expels Raghava from the home. Consumed by his addictions, debts, and relentless punishment, Raghava ultimately resolves to kill his father, believing that doing so will secure the government job, insurance payouts, and the family's remaining assets for himself.

His father knows about his action and kill by himself for his son's great life. This leaves him heartbroken throughout his life and he wants to reborn as his father's chappal.
