| 18 | Narasinga Rao’s debut is an existential |
| 19 | melodrama with the director playing a |
| 20 | romantic painter, Ravi, whose friends include a |
| 21 | trade union leader (Kakarala), an autorickshaw |
| 22 | driver, a Marxist journalist (Narayana |
| 23 | Rao) and a glib, successful painter (Saichand) |
| 24 | whose success contrasts with Ravi’s inability to |
| 25 | sell his own work. His neighbour Kankamma, |
| 26 | who rejects an evil landlord’s advances, is |
| 27 | evicted from her house; the trade unionist is |
| 28 | killed in police custody; and Ravi starts |
| 29 | exhibiting his work on the streets to indicate |
| 30 | his growing politicisation to the satisfaction of |
| 31 | his Marxist friend. The film is geared to the |
| 32 | CPI(ML)-led political movements in Northern |
| 33 | AP and included the compositions and songs of |
| 34 | the region’s best-known radical poet and |
| 35 | performer, Gaddar. |
