Story of the film:
The showkar (govindaraju subbarao) of the village is govindarajula subba rao. He is a miser. His son is NTR. Opposite the house lives the young janaki. They are from the poor family. NTR loves janaki. But showkar don't like it as they are from the poor family. He asks them to leave the house. When showkar felt sick, it none other than janaki who does all the needful, when the rowdi rangadu (svr in the role of sunnapu rangadu) comes to rob showkar it is janaki who rescue the showkar. The changed showkar agrees for the marriage.
Hightlights of the film:
It is gantasala's music which mesmaries the audience. Opening scene you hear the bells in the neck of the bulls and next you hear the bullock carts. Marcus Bartley's camera, Madhavapeddi Gokhale, and Kaladhar's art is too natural. It looks as if we are in the houses. Screenplay and dialogues resembles to our daily life (which was minus point for that time as the people are not used to see that type in the movies and that is one of the reason the film was not that hit at box-office). After a lot of gap the film was made in tamil with nirmala (later she became vijayanirmala) played the role of janaki. The action of govidrarajula subba rao, janaki,ntr, svr are memorable and needs to watch, cannot be described in.
On govindaraju subbarao :
He is one of the best character artists the telugu film field had. He is from tenali. He is also doctor (LMS) by profession. His other profession is playing dramas. He is famous for the role of yughandhar in the play prataparudeyam.
Even though he is an allopathic doctor he used to do homeopathy too. He never used to bother about the fees from his patients. He was also interested in nuclear energy. He wrote a book "inorganic evaluation" on nuclear science. He doesn't have children so he brought up all his brothers children's as his. One of them is Mrs. Bapu.
His first film was malapilla (1938). He refused to shave his head for the role. After lot of convincing from the director rambrahmam and other, he took the permission from his mother to do it and finally agreed for it. But he refused to remove moustache until kanyasulkam(1955) role happened.
Some of his famous roles:
Balanagamma (1942) .. mayala marathi (gummadi says he saw that film 18times just for him)
Mayalokam (1945) ..
Palnati yudham (1947).. brahma naidu
Ratnamala (1947)
Gunasundari katha (1949) ugrasena maharaju
ShAvukAru (1950) shAvukAru changaiah
Kanyasulkam (1955).. lubdavadhanulu
His missed the role in "pellichesi choodu " (NTR's father role) because of the film Paleru, as he is working for that film, he was unable to do this role. But the film was never completed.
