Story
This story belongs to the period of 1950's. Mohan (Upendra) returns from the west after 'educating' himself with a double degree. He reels under the influence of the west so much that he finds the traditions and customs followed in India to be utterly senseless. He is also an heir to the largesse left by his departed jamindar father. Mohan starts visiting a prostitute Kantha (Ramya Krishna) everyday. After looking at his bad behavior, his mother decides to marry him off to a traditional girl Chandra (Abhirami). During the first night, he asks Chandra for a lip-to-lip kiss and when she refuses to do so, he gets pissed off. He declares that he would not touch Chandra again. He starts living in Kantha's house. He prefers to stay at the birthday bash of Kantha's mother to the last rites of his deceased mother. He transfers all his property to Kantha and then goes bankrupt. After a couple of years, Mohan suffers from deadly disease (at that time) of leprosy. Kantha locks him up in a cellar and treats him like an untouchable. After sometime, kantha throws him out of her house and Mohan loses eyesight in the process. He starts wandering in village to beg for food. And one fine evening, he goes to Chandra's house to beg. The rest of the story is all about the climax of 'Rakta Kanneeru'. |
