The movie revolves around the role of Pandit Hari Prasad, a blind flautist (played by Sarvadaman Banerjee) and a painter(Played by Suhasini) who is mute. The casting includes Moon Moon Sen as Jyotirmayi.
The movie (one of the most celebrated musical masterpieces in Telugu) abounds in classical music composed by K. V. Mahadevan with flute renditions by the renowned flautist Hariprasad Chaurasia.[1] The movie saw the debut of Sirivennela Sitaramasastri as a lyricist,who wrote all of the songs. Because of "the wonderful songs", rich in meaning, he penned for the movie, Sitarama Sastry has taken the name of the movie, Sirivennela, as a prefix to his own name. Each of the songs is remembered to this day as a part of landmark Telugu film-music.
A particular highlight of the movie is the song Vidhata Thalapuna, sung by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and P. Susheela. The song is about Aum, the most sacred syllable in Hinduism, from which the Veda traditions originated. Other notable songs include Adibhikshuvu Vadinedi Koredhi and Ee gali Ee Nela.
In the movie, Hari Prasad, an ordinary blind flutist lives along with his only sister in a village which has some tourist attraction. He earns money by playing flute and entertaining the tourists. His life changes dramatically once Jyothirmayi(Moon Moon Sen) comes there and sees his talent in playing the flute. She helps him reach high standards in classical music.
Years pass by and Hari Prasad becomes one of the greatest flutists in India and he develops in himself a great love towards Jyothirmayi for whom he dedicates all his albums.
