About
the film:
Bapu's
debut is regarded as an 'experimental' movie about rural politics.
The villain Fakir (Jagga Rao), a truck driver paid by a local politician,
kills two men. A boatman (Krishna) witnesses the murders and the
entire village, hoping to get Fakir imprisoned, supports the witness
when case comes to the court. However Fakir claims self-defense
and gets a light jail sentence. When Fakir comes out, he publicly
announces his intentions to kill the boatman. Eventually, the boatman's
lover, who is also Fakir's sister (Vijaya Nirmala), kills Fakir.
The
film introduced the unknown pair of Krishna and Vijaya Nirmala acting
without make-up in outdoor sequences, a standard aspect of New Indian
Cinema realism.
