Famous Ramayana legend of the truth-seeking king of Ayodhya, his banishment and suffering as he is tested by Vishwamitra (Udaya Kumar), culminating in his dilemma of having either to kill his own wife who is accused of murder or to forsake his principles. The elaborate costume drama featured the two top stars of Kannada and Telugu cinemas, Rajkumar and NTR, playing the king. The Kannada version credited to Hunsur Krishnamurthy was a hit, but the Telugu one by K.V. Reddy failed.
