| 15 | A successful example of the popular Telugu |
| 16 | melodrama associated with Shobhan Babu’s |
| 17 | 70s-80s work, in which a man has a |
| 18 | relationship with two women. Suryam (Jagapati |
| 19 | Babu) falls in love with Ramya (Ramya) |
| 20 | mistaking her to be the author of an |
| 21 | anonymous love letter actually written by her |
| 22 | younger step-sister Ooha (Ooha). When Ramya |
| 23 | abandons Suryam on the day of their marriage |
| 24 | for a career in show business, he marries Ooha |
| 25 | instead to save both himself and her family |
| 26 | from a scandal. However, she refuses to |
| 27 | consummate the marriage in protest. Ramya |
| 28 | then returns and accuses her step-sister of |
| 29 | having stolen her lover. She camps in the |
| 30 | couple’s home and tries to seduce Suryam. |
| 31 | Despite the havoc caused by Ramya, the |
| 32 | married couple is eventually reunited after |
| 33 | Ooha attempts to kill herself. The film’s main |
| 34 | narrative pivot is the symbolic space occupied |
| 35 | by Ooha, who, on the one hand, as the |
| 36 | embodiment of modernity, refuses a |
| 37 | subservient role in the marriage, but who |
| 38 | nevertheless is forced to also play the |
| 39 | sacrificing woman: a contradiction in most |
| 40 | conventional narratives that this film |
| 41 | specifically sets out to resolve in its |
| 42 | characterisation. |
