Gopi's old friends forcibly take him to carouse with them like the old times. Seshadri exploits this situation to paint Gopi in a bad light. He succeeds in making even Radha doubt Gopi. Madhavaiah, with the provocation of Seshadri, throws Gopi out of the house and gives an old, ruined building as his share of their family property. Seshadri spreads rumors about Radha and Gopi’s relationship which leads to Kaveramma's death. Seshadri plans to marry off Radha to his son Krishna to grab her property. Gopi renovates the old building and transforms it into a school building for the poor villagers. In retaliation, Seshadri removes Madhavaiah from his post as the priest. Distressed, Madhavaiah has a breakdown and feels as if Lord Krishna accompanies him. Gopi revolts against Seshadri while Seshadri steals the temple ornaments and orders his henchmen Ramalingam to bury them in Gopi's home. The cunning Ramalingam double-crosses him and takes off with the jewelry. The next day, when upon Seshadri’s instigation Gopi’s home is searched, a treasure of Madhavaiah and Gopi's ancestors is found to be buried there. The brothers argue with each other on how to utilize it. Madhavaiah wants to use it for the temple but Gopi wants it for the school.
Seshadri ploys to capture the treasure. He decides to conduct local elections, and both the parties strongly campaign. Gopi finds out the secret of temple robbery through Ramalingam and exposes the theft. Radha starts to trust Gopi once again. Krishna steals the treasure and kidnaps Radha. Gopi rescues Radha and makes Krishna repent for his mistakes. Meanwhile, Gopi's supporters, without his knowledge, challenges Madhavaiah to show a miracle by lifting the dome of the temple into the air if God exists. Madhavaiah accepts it and Seshadri paints him as a lunatic. A disturbed Madhavaiah locks himself in the temple where Lord Krishna tells him that God will not respond to evildoers. At this juncture, Gopi understands his distressed brother will not survive unless a miracle actually happens. He lifts the dome from the backside of the temple. Madhavaiah calms down and when he spots Gopi, he says that Lord Krishna performed the miracle through his brother. He also realizes that serving people is equivalent to offering God. At last, they utilize the treasure for the welfare of the people, and Seshadri gets arrested. The film ends with the marriage of Gopi and Radha.
