Naidu and Papa are an older couple that quarrel constantly but are devoted to each other. Ramu defies his rich father to marry Seetha and they eventually rent a room at Naidu and Papa's home. The older couple come to see Seetha as a surrogate daughter and are consequently drawn into the younger couple's lives.

However, once Seetha has a child, problems erupt between Seetha and Ramu. Naidu and Papa support Seetha unconditionally becoming very attached to her child. Subsequently, Ramu rejoins with his father who relents wanting to see his grandson. He comes to accept Seetha as his daughter-in-law thereby taking away the child with her. This leaves Naidu losing his sanity and Papa heartbroken. They both die with Naidu committing suicide while Papa dies in shock at Naidu's death.
