Warning: Spoilers
One of the best telugu movies of all time,excellent performance by Kamal Hasan as an Indian classical dancer who fails to make it big & takes to alcohol.Jayaprada plays the role of an admirer who helps him to get into a big classical event ,Kamal falls in love with her ,not knowing that she is already married but living alone.Once he gets to know this ,he leaves her gets depressed & takes to alcohol.Jayaprada reunites with her husband & goes abroad.Years later her daughter also becomes a classical dancer ,but is arrogant and unwilling to learn & accept criticism from the likes of Kamal who now works for a newspaper as an art critic.Jayaprada comes to know about Kamal ,is depressed about his current state & offers him medical treatment.Kamal dies at the end .after Jaya's daughter embraces him as her real 'Guru'. ,Can watch it for Kamal's performance alone .The way he dances professionally you can mistake him for a renowned classical dancer.Excellent music as well.One of the few Indian cinemas in 1980s which still stands today as a classic.
