Agni Putrudu Story
Hari Hara Bharadwaja, an orthodox Brahmin and revered religious scholar, lives with his wife Brahmaramba, son Kaalidasu, and daughters Gayatri and Jahnavi. He believes in nonviolence and humanity over caste and seeks to instill these values in his son. As the chieftain of the “Viswachaitanya Gurukula Peetam,” Bharadwaja confronts the tyrannical Zamindar Bhupati Rayudu, who exploits tribal lands under the Peetam’s authority. In retaliation, Bhupati hatches multiple schemes against Bharadwaja and his associates, including harassing Manga, Bharadwaja’s aide’s daughter, and manipulating family matters to create rifts. Tragedy strikes when Bharadwaja’s daughters face personal crises, and Manga is killed, leaving Bharadwaja’s family under constant threat.
Meanwhile, Kaalidasu grows up witnessing the injustices and decides to fight Bhupati’s tyranny. He unites with his love, Usha, and takes steps to restore his sisters’ families and confront Bhupati. Amidst a series of confrontations, kidnappings, and betrayals, Bhupati kills Narahari and manipulates events to incriminate Kaalidasu. In the climax, Kaalidasu and Bharadwaja face Bhupati together; after a fierce battle, Bharadwaja abandons his pacifist ways to eliminate Bhupati. The movie concludes with Bharadwaja affirming Kaalidasu’s role in serving society and upholding justice.
