Summary: Adventure movie on the pattern of Apoorva Sahodarargal (1949) replacing the male twins with female twins (Bhanumathi in a double role), daughters of an imprisoned king. One grows up in the forest, learning fencing and unarmed combat (including vanquishing a lion), while the other leads a sheltered life in the palace. Both love the same hero (NTR). The forest girl gets the hero after she defeats the king’s evil commander-in-chief. Bhanumathi’s debut as director was made as a trilingual but was not a success in Hindi. The duet O taraka was, however, a hit in all three languages.
