J and S.P.BalaSubramanyam are highlight for this movie Plot: The film is about the ideological clash between a young man, Suryam (Chiranjeevi), and his father Bilahari Ganapathi Sastry (Gemini Ganesan). While the father believes that music and his life are for salvation, the son strives for a bette
r society. They part ways after Suryam decides to teach his father a lesson by representing the need for social awareness in a concert. Sastry hates this idea of polluting the sacredness of music by individualism and promotes another disciple ignoring Suryam. Fed with his father's refusal to identif
y him, Suryam quits home. He finds solace in the association with Lalita(Sobhana) and her family. Sastry who believes in the supremacy of caste over humanity, tries to break this by instigating drunkards from the village whom Suryam has sworn to reform. Suryam vows not to marry in exchange for the d
runkards reforming themselves. Sastry takes a major blow when the disciple he groomed who later marries his daughter abhors him from singing his favourite raga-The Bilahari. But, the incident that changes his chauvinistic self happens when the Indian government recognizes Suryam's efforts at social
reform and the President of India himself comes to his village to felicitate Suryam. He realizes his son's ideals and proudly addresses himself as Suryam's father rather than a great musician. Trivia: Was later remade in Tamil as Unnal Mudiyam Thambi with Kamal Hassan Received lukewarm response at
the box office but regarded as one of the best telugu movies ever Declared by Chiranjeevi as one of his best films ever The song Cheppalani Undi was partly written by the revolutionary writer Srirangam Srinivas Rao (popularly SreeSree). His other works include Mahaprasthanam - an epic in modern l
iterature. He was one of the most worshipped and quoted writer/poet till recently. The title means The Veena(a stringed instrument) of Lord Siva. Though popular culture says Siva plays a dhamaruk, it is observed that He also plays the Veena and the sounds emanating from them gave birth to music. N
