+Elaborate melodrama with Chiranjeevi as the
+illiterate cobbler who raises his dead sister’s
+son Chinna (Arjun/Suresh) while also financing
+the education of the orphaned Sharada
+(Sumalatha). When Sharada marries,
+Sambaiah’s lover Ganga (Vijayashanti) is
+sterilised so that nothing will interfere with
+Chinna’s growth. Ganga assists Sambaiah in
+becoming enormously wealthy, but this causes
+several problems: Chinna’s biological father
+Govind (Raj) teams up with Sharada’s no-good
+husband Bhaskar (Bannerjee) to make a series
+of demands on Sambaiah and to claim Chinna’s
+guardianship. Eventually, Chinna rebels against
+his father and both he and Sambaiah return to
+the latter’s modest original profession of
+cobbler. The film was a critical success, notably
+for recasting action star Chiranjeevi in an
+unusual role, which also constituted his
+influential effort to transform his screen image
+by entering what is known in Telugu cinema as
+the ‘class film’. Less than two years after the
+formation of the Dalit Mahasabha in A.P.
+(1985), the film posits a conservative resolution
+to an important political movement in its
+evacuation of all caste conflict in favour of a
+fictional conflict between ‘good’ and ‘bad’
+Dalits.
