An unidentified man (Puri) in a train leaves his infant child in the care of a fellow passenger (Revathi) when he is arrested for being a suspected Naxalite. Much of the film deals with Revathi’s struggles with numerous government agencies as she tries to trace the man. Shot on location, and evoking a political genre attacking State repression in Andhra Pradesh, the commercial hit was a somewhat deliberate, though technically limited, effort to translate the New Indian Cinema into Telugu.
