Summary: Mahabharata legend in which Princess Savitri
marries Satyavan despite a curse that foretells
his death within a year. She manages to get
Yama (Gaggaiah), the god of death, to restore
her husband to life. With this film the Calcutta-
based studio tried to compete with the entry of
Bombay studios into the nascent Telugu
cinema, inaugurated by H.M. Reddy's Bhakta
Prahlada (1931) using actors from the
Surabhi theatres troupe. Pullaiah's version
introduces the star Gaggaiah.
