Plot

Madhava Rao's mother dies when he is a child, leaving five sisters with him. His father is arrested for killing his mother by beating her in a fit of rage. Madhava hates his father but loves his sisters with a protective attitude towards them. As they grow up, Madhava is constantly worried about his sisters and tries to keep them safe. He assaults local youths who try to flirt with or even look at them. As a result, they label him "Hitler" due to his violent and domineering tendencies. Life nevertheless runs fairly smoothly in the village, though all the villagers are careful around him.

Madhava's uncle has two children; Balu, who is in love with Madhava's second sister, and Bujji, who loves Madhava and wants to marry him. One day as Madhava is out, Mohini asks Balu to come to her house, but things go badly when Madhava returns home earlier than expected and finds Balu in his house. He asks him why he is there and what is he doing, and Balu mumbles. Enraged, Madhava beats him and tells his uncle that he shall not marry his daughter. Balu and Mohini decide to elope without the consent of Madhava. Madhava disowns her. All the other sisters, having a soft spot for their sister, start hating their brother for not understanding her love for Balu.

Shortly after this, Madhava's father is released from jail. He attempts to talk to his son about his mother's death, but Madhava will not listen. He leaves to make a new life for himself. Some while later, a man who works with his father comes to Madhava and tells him that his father is in danger. Madhava's father is later murdered. Madhava discovers that his father was innocent of his mother's murder and that his uncle's business partners were behind both killings. Madhava's father has left a message asking him to take care of the two daughters he had with his second wife. Madhava brings them home. Madhava's sisters hate them and behave unpleasantly to them. When he discovers this, Madhava scolds them. In protest at his authoritarian ways, his sisters all leave the home. The villains see an opportunity to strike at Madhava and kidnap his unprotected sisters. Madhava rescues them and his sisters ask his pardon for defying him. All ends well.
