Sri Panduranga Mahatyam Story

The film begins with [[Vritra]], a [[Rakshasa]], conducting penance for [[Siva]], and frightened [[Indra]] creates several obstacles but in vain. So, he is slain by Indra when enraged Vritra curses him to turn into a stone. Therefore, Siva appears and proclaims that when [[Vishnu]] launches at [[Chandrabhaga]] river, he will be emancipated. Now, the tale shifts to Pundarika, a tomcat that perturbs his parents, Jahnavi Sastry & Lakshmi, who create havoc in town. Plus, he entices a prostitute, Kalavathi. Pundari is knitted in childhood. Jahnavi Sastry invites his shrew daughter-in-law, Rama, to divert his path. Rama looks down on her soft in-laws and keeps Pundari in her grip. Consequently, he stops his visit to Kalavathi, which begrudges her. So, she ploys and summons him to announce her birthday, which Pundari is embarrassed about as he cannot bestow her. Thus, he attempts to steal Rama’s jewelry but is caught when Lakshmi is accused. Accordingly, the couple quit. Today, Pundari completely surrenders to Kalavathi and spends time frolic-necking out Rama. Following that, Kalavathi confiscates his property in an alcoholic state and throws him away.

Next, Pundari reaches the Ashram of Sage Kukkuta. Since there is no modification in his attitude, he lusts for 3 river goddesses [[Ganga (goddess)|Ganga]], [[Yamuna in Hinduism|Yamuna]], & [[Sarasvati River|Saraswati]] who are passing, removing their impurities of sinners. Pundari attempts to catch them, and they abscond. Therein, he views Kukkuta serving his parents, whom Pundari kicks off. As a result, he loses his limbs, and Kukkuta proclaims that the only remedy is the forgiveness of his parents. Here, Pundari grounds at his parents by crawling and pleads pardon after soul-searching when he recoups his legs. Therefore, he is actively involved in serving them and feels blissful in it. Parallelly, remorseful Rama, whom the parents rebuke, also lands at her husband’s feet after crossing many hurdles, and she too starts serving in-laws. Presently, Pundari molds as an ardent devotee of [[Krishna]], who appears and gives him a call but does not rotate as he is immersed in praying to his parents. Moreover, he asks him to wait, and then Indra’s curse is removed. At last, the Lord urges Pundari for a boon, and he requests to give salvation along with his parents, which he does. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note, with the statement “Serving parents cannot exceed any infinite spirit” and the place adorning at “[[Pandharpur]]” [[Maharashtra]] till today.
