Palanati Yudham Story
The film begins at Palnadu, where its Chief Minister Brahmanaidu & his wife Ithamba are endowed with an heir, Balachandra, and the capital Gurajala is under ecstasy. King Nalagamaraju, his sibling Narasimha Raju, and their stepmother Vidyalaya Devi come to bless the newborn. It is rosy, as the astrologers foresee that the child induces a gigantic battle. Ergo, steadfast & pacifist Brahmanaidu commands to slay the kid, whom his brother-in-law Kannamma Naidu shields. The country faces a calamity when the enlightened view of Brahmanaidu camps lower strata refuges in the temples and conducts almsgiving beyond castes. At which, lofty Gopamantri is deplorable and hurls wily Nayakuralu Nagamma. Utilizing a prestigious edict accorded by King Anuguraju to govern the kingdom for 3 days, Nagamma creates demolition and artfully puppets Nalagamaraju, instilling Brahmanaidu as outwitted, which makes him resign. Hence, Vidyadevi also quits with her brother Kommaraju & son Malidevadulu with their share of Macharla. Years roll by, and under the tutelage of Brahmanaidu, Macharla glitters, which irks Nagamma.
Accordingly, she moves a pawn by knitting Nalagamaraju’s daughter, Peerindevi, with Alaraju, Kommaraju’s son. Following incites, Malideva, a rooster, fights “Kodi Pandalu” with a stipulation that the loser should be exiled for 7 years, and perfidiously Nagamma triumphs. During that plight, Brahmanaidu acts as a backbone by acquiring vitals for the adobe. Moreover, he is mindful of Balachandra’s existence and ventures to wipe him out. However, with the insight that no soul can amend his destiny, he embraces him. Currently, Balachandra weds Maguva Manchala, the daughter of Kannamma Naidu. Soon, he lures a dancer, Sakhbhai, and is rapt to her, overlooking his wife, who grieves. After 7 years, Brahmanaidu sends Alaraju as a mediator when Nagamma magnifies Narasimharaju’s urge to cabals. After a robust debate, Alaraju is scapegoated by poisoning, and Peerindevi is sacrificed by “Sathi” when Balachandra swears to decapitate Narasimharaju. Brahmanaidu conceals the war from Balachandra at that time, but the truth becomes known, who furiously moves. Amid this, he spends time with Manchala at the outset of their marital life, and Balachandra is engrossed in her beauty. Nevertheless, Manchala awakes his valor and bravely conveys him to the field. The war begins at Karampudi, which accelerates massive destruction. Balachandra dies heroically, accomplishing his pledge, and Manchala follows him. Ultimately, Brahmanaidu uproars, which lets anybody withstand, and Nagamma remorsefully bows her head. At last, Brahmanaidu entrusts the kingdom to Nalagamaraju and proclaims that Nagamma will reinstate it as penance for her sins. Finally, the movie ends with Brahmanaidu proceeding toward the forest for penance.
