Summary: Vijaya Studio pioneered the genre of the
‘folklore’ costume-fantasy film in the 50s and
relaunched it in the 90s with larger budgets and
computer-driven special effects. The King’s
second wife, and hero’s (Balkrishna) mother, is
rejected by her husband and finds shelter with
some holy men. The son, separated from his
mother, sets out in search of a magic potion
when the King is afflicted with disease. Adding
to the plot is the fact that the princess (Roja)
too is cursed. The resemblance to e.g. Patala
Bhairavi (1951) is heightened by the fact that
N.T. Rama Rao’s son Balakrishna plays the
main role.
