Gowtham SSC (2005)

Inspiring and insightful, this youthful family drama traces the trials and triumphs in the life of Gowtam (Navdeep), a carefree young man who is the youngest of three sons of Shambhu Prasad (Nassar), a highly ranked government official. His wife Chaya Rani is a professor, eldest son (Manoj) is a doctor, second one (Neeraj) is a businessman, and his daughters-in-law are also well-respected and highly placed members of society.

In this family of high achievers, the only black sheep is Gowtam, who is not serious about anything and does not do well in his education. Gowtam is more close to his neighbors Dr. Bhanu (Bhanupriya) and Kondal Rao (Prithvi) than his family. He is not respected in the family and doesn't have a clear goal in life. He also builds a strong friendship with Janaki (Sindhu), who works as a tutor for his brother's kids.

Though Mr. Prasad ignores his son's small gaffes, he doesn't spare him when he comes to know that Gowtam forged his signature. He throws him out of house. Now homeless, Gowtam is taken by Janaki to her house. There, he starts working as a mechanic repairing vehicles. He gets inspired by the words of Bhanu (Bhanu Priya) and plunges himself into automobile repairing. He invents a carburetor that gives a mileage of 120 km per liter and makes his brother the patentee for his apparatus.

He saves his eldest brother from a conspiracy of hospital management and also fixes marriage of his sister with her lover. In spite of doing all good to his family he never lets his father to know about these things as his father always wishes to see his third son as an I.A.S. officer. He strives for that and his love is also not informed of his efforts. Will his father ever realise his son's achievements and appreciate his talents?
