Swayamkrushi

Sambayya, a humble cobbler, devotes himself to raising his late sister's son Chinna and funding the education of Sarada. He toils at his street shop and uses the proceeds to support the two dependents, laying a strong moral foundation for the family. His quiet resilience sets the stage for the sacrifices to come.

Sarada marries Bhaskar, shifting family dynamics. Ganga, who harbors feelings for Sambayya, proves her devotion by undergoing tubectomy to focus solely on their future family. The household begins to navigate new roles and responsibilities.

Govind, Sambayya's criminal brother-in-law and Chinna's biological father, schemes to take Chinna away. He sets Sambayya's shop on fire, triggering a cruel confrontation that ends with Govind's imprisonment for nine years. The family reels from the shock but remains resilient.

After Govind's imprisonment, Sambayya and Ganga marry and unite their resources to start a shoe business. Their enterprise flourishes, and they accumulate wealth that raises the family's social standing. The couple finds stability they had long sought.

As Chinna grows older, his wealth brings him pride and arrogance. Sambayya counters this by teaching humility and reinforcing the value of hard work. The contrasting approaches set up a clash that will test their bond.

Sarada and Bhaskar's marriage becomes strained, with frequent fights and Bhaskar's inability to earn. Sarada criticizes his habits and reliance on Sambayya for money. Sensing their distress, Sambayya invites Sarada to stay with him to seek relief.

Govind is released from prison and begins poisoning Bhaskar's mind by alleging that Sambayya took Sarada and that he loved her. His scheming sows distrust and frays the family ties. Bhaskar's faith in Sambayya starts to crumble.

During a family celebration, Bhaskar creates a scene accusing Sambayya of an affair. Sambayya responds with patience and reforms Bhaskar by offering him a job in his company. The episode underscores Sambayya's integrity in the face of deception.

Govind forges an alliance with Ganga's unscrupulous father to poison Chinna's mind, twisting Sambayya's disciplinary actions into brutality. Chinna begins to despise Sambayya, widening the rift between them. The family fracture deepens as manipulation takes hold.

Govind files for custody of Chinna. In court, Chinna's decision leans toward Govind, but he still wants Ganga with him. Govind hands a cassette to Ganga showing Chinna's exposure to vices, while Sambayya fights to protect the family's wealth and integrity.

To extort Sambayya, Govind pressures him to sign over all his properties. Govind then ejects Chinna from their home, and Sambayya takes him back, reaffirming his commitment to family over riches. The act marks a turning point in the family struggle.

At Chinna's birthday, Sambayya replays the cassette to reveal Govind's manipulation, provoking disgust among guests who leave in protest. Sarada consoles Chinna, explaining that Sambayya disciplined him out of love. Bhaskar and Sarada, backed by the workers, rise to overthrow Govind, who ultimately reforms and returns the assets.

Govind reforms, and Sambayya regains his wealth, but he decides to quit the fight and return to the streets as a cobbler. Chinna witnesses his father's return to the streets, confronting Govind's true nature and vowing to change. The moment marks a turning point in their relationship.

Chinna, inspired by his father's resilience, begins to work as a cobbler on the street, mirroring Sambayya's trade. The two walk the same path, and Chinna learns the value of hard work and humility. The film closes on a note of reconciliation and continued family bond.
