Story
This sweeping historical epic concerns the court intrigue and fratricidal in-fighting of the land of Palnadu. Wracked by years of war and mayhem, the kingdom is split asunder by feuding between religions and castes alike.
Savvy Prime Minister Brahmanayudu ( G.V. Subba Rao) tries to mend fences by opening the Chenna Keshava temple to one and all, regardless of caste or creed. This leads to a full-scale insurrection by the military, lead by queen mother Nagamma. Soon, utter chaos reigns in the land. Director Gudavalli Ramabrahmam died before this film -- a clear allegory for India's bloody Partition -- could be completed. In his stead, L.V. Prasad took the director's helm.
