Director : K Viswanath
Released : 11 June 1982
This was the first movie in the combination of K.Viswanath and Chiru.
It was a movie with a message on dowry and was a huge musical hit and a Jewel in the crown for our megastar.
Sumalatha is a middle class girl who is well educated and beautiful. Her father tries to get her married but is not able to meet the demands of high dowrys.
Chiru is a graduate who is looking out for jobs but is not able to find any so he supports himself doing small odd jobs and believes that it is not wrong to work anything as long as it is not illegal.
They both meet and become friends.
Sathyanarayana is the father of sudhakar (who became famous with this movie as ‘Subhaleka’ Sudhakar) who wants to marry his son to anyone who will give lakhs of dowry since he is educating him to be a doctor.
Sumalatha walks out of her house as she could not see her father troubled in trying to get her married and she stays with Chiru.
She develops feelings for him meanwhile without his knowledge but does not reveal it.
Rest of the story forms on how the youngsters teach a lesson to the elders who are in greed of selling their educated sons for dowry and how sumalatha marries the man of her choice.This movie had sweet memorable melodies like “raagala pallaki lo koyilamma” and others.
Chiru gives a subtle performance as per the demand of the role and the subject was way ahead of its time asking the youth not to rely on white collar jobs and respect the dignity of labor.
