    Storyline

    Edit
    Thota Ramudu (N. T. Rama Rao), son of a lowly gardener, falls for the princess of Ujjain (Malathi). Her father, the king of Ujjain, sets a challenge before him to prove himself worthy of the princess's hand. Nepala Manthrikudu (S. V. Ranga Rao), a sorcerer, contacts Ramudu and promises that he can help him in his mission, aided by the goddess Patala Bhairavi. However, Ramudu is not aware of the sorcerer's real plan: to sacrifice this young, brave lad to the goddess in order to attain a magic statuette, which would grant any wish. —Soumitra

    Greatness of Pathala Bhairavi
    One of greatest movies of Indian cinema which bible to world cinema where there were no animation VFX that time made this fictional movie and proved it without technology Telugu cinema director KV Reddy has shown to the world of cinema.

    Story, cinematography, screenplay was fantabulous.
