saptapadi ( 1981 )



Summary
An excellent movie on the subject of inter-caste marriage. yAjulu, an orthodox high-priest of a village temple weds his grand-daughter hEma to his grand-son gaurInatha,little realising that hEma is in love with muraLi, a harijan. hEma is a professional dancer while muraLi plays flute. gaurInAtha only succeeds to see the godess he worships in hEma. he learns the truth from hEma and decides to join her with muraLi. after much pondering, yAjulu not only gives consent but actively carries it out in the face of stiff resistance from the village. Excellent screen-play along with rich music and dance make it a real visual treat. Should easily rank as the best from k.viSvanAth.
