      Storyline

      Edit
      The story is about a doctor played by Vishnuvardhan who falls in love with his student doctor played by Suhasini. Vishnuvardhan tries to tell his feelings to her but fails to do so. When he finally musters courage to tell her that he loves her, she tells him that her marriage is fixed to Jai Jagadeesh her childhood friend and thinks of him like a guru. Vishnuvardhan cannot forget her and slowly withdraws into a shell. His mother tries to get him out of this shell but dies because of burns. Meanwhile, Jai Jagadeesh starts suspecting his wife because she gives importance to the hospital and not him and starts misbehaving with her at home. Suhasini discovers that Vishnuvardhan has heart enlargement and may not survive for long. Since he has no family she starts taking more care of him in hospital. This frustrates her husband even more and he misunderstands Vishnuvardhan and fights with him. —Girish

      • Trivia
        S.V. Rajendra Singh (Babu) had wanted to cast the legendary Kalpana in the lead role of Dr. Nandini, along with Vishnuvardhan and Ambarish, before she passed away in 1979. In 1984, he made the movie with Suhasini and Vishnuvardhan in the leads. Ambarish had become a popular hero by then and that role went to the good-looking Jai Jagdish, who was not only a popular villain but also the husband of Babu's sister Vijayalakshmi Singh. The movie was dedicated to the late Kalpana.

      10/10
      Excellent movie with great Music
      This movie revolves around two doctors who were great colleagues. It happened that Vishnu fell in love with Suhasini but unable to express that to her. When he did so, he was disappointed since Suhasini disapproves his love and says he is like mentor for him and she cannot imagine him as husband. This will be great shock to Vishnu and Suhasini get married to his friend.

      After marriage, the relationship of both of them become worse due to working hours and her close professional relationship with Vishnu.

      The movie is great also due to excellent music from rajan nagendra. Till today, Noorandu nenapu is my favorite song and also to many people who lost love..this song is very melodious.. other two songs ee-bandhana and premada kadambari also good...

      i have watched this movie many times and would love to watch again and again.
