Bharya Bhartalu story at a glance
Bharya Bhartalu is a unique film which showcased the acting capabilities of Krishna Kumari and fetched her great stardom. She acted equally brilliant with a stalwart like ANR. In fact, it was a challenging role for ANR as well because it has shades of negativity. It is very difficult for a hero with positive image to act in a role which involves him going behind the female lead and being a careless individual. Moreover, during the 60s era, hero was supposed to be positive, good looking, sacrificing person and so on. Popular director K.V.Reddy even warned ANR before he chose to act in such contrasting role. Nevertheless, ANR took it as a challenge and went forward. The script was made in such a way that ANR’s character gets high sympathy in the second half by Pratyagatma. It is a debut film for director Pratyagatma as well. The film was successful in Telugu and was also critically acclaimed. It was made in Tamil and Hindi too.
Story Details:
A richman (Gummadi) has two sons. His elder son Ramanand (Relangi) a practicing lawyer and younger son Prasad (ANR) is a student. Ramanand gets married to a woman (Suryakantham). Prasad is a happy go lucky guy who doesn’t attend classes or take career seriously. He goes around women and passes time in his own style. Meanwhile a vamp (Girija) goes behind Prasad. Meanwhile, another guy ( Padmanabham) follows the vamp with determination because he loves her. In this juncture Prasad meets a poor lady Sarada (Krishnakumari). She comes to Prasad’s house to teach tuitions. Her father (Ramana Reddy) and step mother (Sandhya) plan to get her married and send her off. Prasad goes behind Sarada and tries to woo her but the latter doesn’t respond. Prasad plans to trap her and achieves his goal by marrying her. But on the first night, Sarada expresses her opinion in straightforward manner to Prasad. Prasad realizes his fault and understands the individuality of his wife. He decides not to touch her until she realizes about him and really starts admiring him. He tries to transform his qualities to a good person and when Sarada falls ill, he does lot of service to her. Sarada understands that Prasad has changed and falls in love with him. When things become happy, suddenly a twist happens in the story. Prasad’s ex lover (Girija) blackmails him because she is unable to forget him. She calls him to his house but the latter warns her. Meanwhile, she gets killed in mysterious circumstances and the crime falls on Prasad. But Prasad’s brother Ramanand takes up the case and gets his brother out by the help of Sarada. Ramanand proves that the vamp was killed by her stalker (Padmanabham) with strong evidence. Prasad is proved innocent and the story ends on happy note with Prasad and Sarada staring a new life.
Performances:
ANR excels as Prasad with contrasting shades. His performance as a care not guy in the beginning and a changed person later is admirable. Krishna Kumari gets a memorable role as Sarada, a woman with individuality. She adds grace and poise to the film with her unique acting skills. Ramana Reddy is very good as the father of Sarada and Sandhya does a good job as the step mother. Girija does a challenging role as the vamp and Padmanabham is equally good. Relangi is wonderful as the lawyer and brother of Prasad.
Technical Aspects:
Story by Dr.K.Tripura Sundari it at the dramatic best and very gripping. S.Rajeshwara Rao’s melodious music adds as a strong pillar for the success of the film. ‘Emani Paadedano Ee Vela’, ‘Joruga Husharu Ga’, ‘O Sukumara Nanu Chera’, ‘Madhuram Madhuram Ee Samayam’, ‘Choochi Choochi Kallu Kaayale Kaachayi’ became all time hits. Partagatma’s direction is very skilful despite being a debut film.
