| 17 | A revivalist melodrama in which the artistic |
| 18 | soul of a music guru, killed in a road accident, |
| 19 | migrates into the aspiring, but hopeless, |
| 20 | musician Vishwa (Vishnuvardhan), turning him |
| 21 | into a virtuoso capable of realising the guru’s |
| 22 | dreams. Vishwa is torn between the guru’s |
| 23 | daughter Sharada (Saritha) and Girija |
| 24 | (Madhavi), a popular dancer whose father |
| 25 | (Dinesh) exploits Vishwa’s talent. Vishwa |
| 26 | embarks on building a music college with |
| 27 | Sharada’s help. Girija donates all her money to |
| 28 | the cause, but whenVishwa loses his voice, |
| 29 | Sharada teaches him to regain it. An interesting |
| 30 | twist to the story is that since Vishwa is the |
| 31 | extension of Sharada’s father, his relationship |
| 32 | with her has incestuous overtones, which the |
| 33 | film displaces by suggesting she might be a |
| 34 | goddess and having Vishwa marry the selfsacrificing |
| 35 | Girija. |
