Rama Rao and Devika, with music composed by T. V. Raju.[1][2] The film is based on Gollabhama (1947) which itself is based on the stories of Kaasi Majililu written in Telugu by Madhira Subbanna Deekshitulu.
Plot
The film begins with the king of Kalinga, Kamavardhana, attempting to molest tribal girl Sundari. She is secured by a Prince, Jayachandra, who falls for her. But perceiving her animosity toward kingship, he introduces himself as a soldier, safehouses her, carves her as a wise lady, and knits her with the consent of his parents. The couple leads a delightful life until an abyss arises as an angel, Vahini, infatuated with Jayachandra, abducts him to heaven and entices him, but to avail.
On earth, Sundari woes for adversity. Jayachandra consents to Vahini and calls Sundari to heaven. Here, unintentionally, the pair takes the nectar Amrutham and turns into immortal. The next day, she backs and conceives when not a soul trusts her consummation with Jayachandra, and the king edicts capital punishment. Yet, by deathlessness, the guards fail to execute it and return, departing Sundari in the forest. Whereat, she gives birth to a baby boy, Balarka, who has the power to listen to the voices of all creatures. Tragically, he gets misplaced, shielded by Kali, who boons him to King Udayarka. Sundari lands at a cathouse and faces the music but secures her chastity.
Years roll by, and Jayachandra frees from the clutches of Vahini, restoring and divulging the actuality. Now, he proceeds for Sundari, who did not lose her magnificence. She is acquainted with her son Balarka and recognizes him. The same night, he gets to know her when he hears a conversation between a cow & calf that a man in lust cannot identify the relationship. Then, Sundari cannot face him, so she jumps into the fire, but Jayachandra safeguards her. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the family's reunion.
