Loukyam opens with Venky (
Meanwhile, Keshava Reddy (
He tells Neetu to come back on the engagement day to act as if not married and Babji fixes the marriage of Neetu with Bharat, but they learn that Neetu is pregnant and so Bharat refuses to marry. Venky tells Babji that his brother (who is Neetu's husband and is acting as Venky's brother) will marry Neetu. Babji agrees to the wedding and, in turn, tells Chandrakala that she is to marry Bharat again. Through an attack incident, Venky learns that Bharat is Kesava Reddy's son. He tells Kesava Reddy that even Babji is aware of this fact and is planning to kill Bharat on a trip to Srisailam. Kesava Reddy ends up believing him and attacks Babji and the group on the way. He foolishly reveals to Babji that Bharat is his son and is aware that Babji will kill him.
When Kesava Reddy realizes his folly, he kidnaps Chandrakala and Bharat and escapes from the spot. Bablu who mistakes it to be a movie shoot stops Kesava Reddy on the way which gives Venky enough time to reach Kesava Reddy. In the end, Venky gets Babji to beat up Kesava Reddy and using his sympathy, which he had earlier used to get Babji and his sister together, he gets Babji to agree for his and Chandrakala's wedding as well.
