vichitra kutumbam Story
The film revolves around a joint family beset with ego clashes, misunderstandings, and the challenges of maintaining unity. The patriarch (played by N. T. Rama Rao) values affection and harmony, but the younger generation, influenced by modernity and greed, begins drifting apart. His wife (Savitri) strives to hold the family together, often mediating quarrels.
As disputes over wealth, marriages, and status escalate, the family’s once-strong bonds begin to crumble. However, through love, sacrifice, and realization, the members learn the importance of togetherness.
