Perspective
Chandra Shekar / Chandram is in love with Gowri. He finds a job in an estate owned by Surendra Nath, an honorable-seeking decadent who provides them with hospitality. Nath tries to molest Gowri and in the ensuing response by Chandram , Surendra Nath dies. The judiciary designs Chandram to hang, but on the way, the vehicle meets with an accident, and all occupants are dead. By that time, Gowri was pregnant and had a baby boy. Years roll by, and Gowri works as a schoolteacher, where she gets acquainted with one of the board members, Ganga, and turns besties. Due to the ill-reputation of Gowri's husband, she loses her job when Ganga welcomes her. Therein, Gowri flabbergasts & stupefies to see Chandram alive as Ganga's husband. So, Gowri decides to quit; Chandram obstructs her when she accuses him, and then he narrates the past. After absconding, Chandram walked on for Gowri, but her whereabouts were unknown. In the passage, he meets Ganga and learns that her lover has ditched her despite being pregnant. So, Chandram married her to provide legitimacy to the child in return for her help in establishing his new identity as Shekar. After a while, Ganga suspects Shekar's closeness with Gowri. Later, he realizes this fact and pleads pardon. The law is again at Chandram's doorstep, as Inspector Anand is, with an added crime of bigamy. At last, Ganga brings out Surendra Nath's wickedness as he is the same one who deceived her, which affirms Chandram's nobleness. Finally, the movie ends with the acquitting of Chandram and all living together happily.
