Pathala Bhairavi

Thota Ramudu, the brave but poor son of a gardener, falls deeply in love with Princess Indumathi. When the King demands immense wealth for her hand, Ramudu is approached by the sinister Nepalese sorcerer, Nepala Mantrikudu. The sorcerer promises wealth in exchange for help with a ritual, but secretly intends to sacrifice Ramudu to the Goddess Pathala Bhairavi to obtain a magical statuette that grants any wish. Ramudu discovers the betrayal, manages to outwit the sorcerer by sacrificing him instead, and earns the favor of the Goddess. This mythological fantasy adventure was a massive milestone, establishing N. T. Rama Rao as a legendary superstar of Indian cinema.
