Bangaru Bommalu Story
The film is about the concept of reincarnation. It begins with youngster Gopi in an insane state, questing for his beloved Radha. Once, he spots stalking Rani, a celebrity whom he pronounces Radha. From there, he pesters and follows her as “white on rice” despite her reproach and mortification. One night, Gopi gets inside Radha’s room and is buffered when reflections splash in her; she proceeds to listen with him to a village. Whereat, Radha sees golden statues of their resemblance, adored by the public, when Gopi narrates their early life. Indeed, Gopi is the second son of Zamindar of the terrain who adheres to caste and clan. He has knitted benevolent, destitute Annapurna after the death of his wife. Due to this, Prabhu, the progeny of the first, underrates and scorns them regardless of their genuine affection. Gopi accomplishes his civilization and returns, who moves with a fair shake. Radha is a warmhearted, plain girl who works as an Ayurvedic doctor and rears a few orphan kids. Gopi and Radha’s crush enrages Zamindar and warns her. Plus, vicious Prabhu sets fire to Radha’s house, which ends with her father Nagaiah’s death. Hereupon, Gopi breaks ranks on them, quits, and starts living as a commoner with Radha. Zamindar ostracizes them, yet they hold firm and move forward with self-power.
On Gopi’s birthday, Annapurna covertly advances to view him. Exploiting it, Prabhu slays her and incriminates Gopi, who is forbidden to preside over his mother’s funeral. Tragically, Radha falls victim to TB, from which she hides, and her health slowly deteriorates. At this time, Savitri, a villager, informs Radha that Seenu of the orphans is her child, and he was born through Prabhu’s deceit. So, Radha promises to justify the boy. Meanwhile, Prabhu betrays the Zamindar and usurps all authority. Thus, he gains knowledge of his hellish hue and the virtuousness of Gopi and Radha. Hence, he walks out to reside with them and declares to provide their right. Being conscious of Radha’s dying situation, Gopi rushes and forcibly collects money from Prabhu as his entitlement. Till then, Radha unveils Seenu’s birth secret to Zamindar on her deathbed, whom Zamindar accepts as his heir. Parallelly, Prabhu onslaughts on them, in which Gopi is gravely injured when Savitri eliminates Prabhu. Thus, Gopi and Radha leave their breath together, showing their love as immortal. At last, Zamindar still waits for their arrival and performs their nuptials. Finally, the movie ends happily with Gopi and Radha’s reunion.
