Charan (Venky), son of Mallika (Jyothi) and his friends are driving and listen to a cassette his girlfriend is carrying. Charan is curios to know who the singer on that tape and she explains it was from an old accomplice of her grandfather's known as Raghu, the famous singer. On their way the car breaks down and the gang starts to trek a mountain they spot close by. They encounter an old man living in the the woods who is is none other than Raghu. The curious gang demand him to answer who and where he was all this while and then goes back in time to tell his story. The flashback revolves around Ranga (K. S. Ramesh) who works for Gowda (....) the Panchayat of the village he lives in. Ranga who is interested in singing and learning music is always mesmerized from Shastrigalu's (M. V. Vasudeva Rao) music classes. He secretly listens to him teach the young kids of the village and learns/practices himself. Once day he is caught by the Gowda singing on the fields and is warned that he would beat him to death if he heard him sing again instead of working. One day Shastry is walking around the village and hears Ranga sing the lesson he taught his students. Shatry is very impressed with his talent and volunteers to train him professionally in music but Ranga scared of the Gowda turns it down. Shastry forces him out of the field and starts teaching him. As days goes by Ranga is much qualified in music and is able to sing classical songs. One day while he is grazing the Gowda's cows at his field Ranga sits down to sing and practice. Overwhelmed in music Ranga fails to notice that the cows move around grazing in a neighboring field. The angry owner complains to Gowda about what happened. Gowda furious at Ranga shouts at him and canes him ruthlessly. Shastry rushes to the spot and saves him. Shastry offers him shelter and asks Ranga to stay with and his wife as their son.
