Story: Made apparently on the used sets of Debaki Bose's Seeta (1934). It is the Ramayana story of Seeta (Sriranjani) who retires to the forest and gives birth to twin boys, Lava (Bhimarao) and Kusa (M. Rao), who later take on the might Of Rama (Subba Rao) unaware that he is their father. Probably the first film to receive a wide release in the AP countryside, it was singer Sriranjani's film debut and a major hit running in some theatres for over a year. Pullaiah remade the film (1963) with N.T. Rama Rao and Anjali Devi,That film was block buster of that time.
