Story:This major musical hit, made at the Vel Pies Studio in [heir characteristic mythological genre, tells of Radha's (Shantakumari) devotion for Krishna (Venkateshwara Rao), which is supposed to exemplify divine love. Her love is scorned both by Radha's sister Chandravali (Bhanumathi) and by Krishna's wife Satyabhama (Himavathi). Krishna wins over Chandravali by impersonating her husband Chandragopa (Addanki). He then impersonates Radha herself to prove that divine love transcends sexual difference. The film united the three best-known Telugu actress-singers: Shantakumari, Bhanumathi and T. Suryakumari (as the trouble-making Narada). Between them they had several numbers including Godumu krisbna, Chiluka palkuladana Repe vastadanta gopaludu and Oogave uyyala [hat have become cultural legends, Addanki and Bhanumathi together sang Ekkadunnave pilla.
