Baamma Maata Bangaru Baata (transl. Granny's Word is a Golden Route) is a 1989 Indian Telugu-language comedy film produced by M. Saravan and M. Balasubramanian of AVM Productions and directed by Rajasekhar. It stars Bhanumathi Ramakrishna, Rajendra Prasad, Gautami and Nutan Prasad, with music composed by Chandrabose. The film is a remake of AVM's Tamil film Paatti Sollai Thattathe (1988).[1]
Though critically and commercially acclaimed, this film is infamous for the on-set accident in which Nutan Prasad broke his back. This left him paralysed from the waist down and he was confined to a wheelchair for the remainder of his life.[2][3]
Plot
[edit]The film begins in a village with its chieftain, Rajyalakshmi, an indomitable woman. Suraiah, her husband, is just nominal, and a shirker stays under his wife's wing. The couple raises their heir, Krishna Murthy / Kishtaiah, who lost his parents as an infant. Rajyalakshmi dotes him in a shower of affection above any other. Kishtaiah hard-won graduation in 5 years, and Rajyalaksmi sets a felicitation because she is ignorant of his idiocy. While driving home, he acquits a girl, Sita, who feigns blindness, but Kishtaiah gazes it. Next, he is aware that she is eluding from forcible espousal with a blackguard conducting women's trafficking. Thus, Kishtaiah covertly shelters Sita at Govindu, a hotel owner in their town, of which Rajyalakshmi is unaware, along with the two crushes. Parallelly, Rajyalakshmi fixes a wealthy alliance without Kistaiah's knowledge, and he quiets concerning his grandmother's respect.
Consequently, Govindu airs Sita's presence to the gang that chases her—the bride's father also onslaughts, mindful of their love affair. Yet, Kishtaiah secures Sita, and they land at a police station where the Inspector knits them. Soon after, the newlywedded approaches Rajyalakshmi for blessing, which she refuses as per complete nosedive of mortification. Hence, Kishtaiah & Sita quit steps in the city and faced challenges. Thereupon, the same Police accommodates them at their outhouse. Kishtaiah & Sita gained Peon & Steno posts at Advocates Kutumba Rao & Kireeti. Whereat, they pretend to be unmarried & unbeknownst since they allot jobs only to singles. From there, it goes with funny scenarios. Kireeti entices Sita, and that envies Kishtaiah. Plus, typist Rita lusts for Kishtaiah and attempts to subdue him, but he detests her. Sita views it, misconstrues her husband, and a rift arises.
Meanwhile, Rajyalakshmi broods for Kishtaiah and makes his long quest, but in vain. So, she declares that she will bestow her totality to a temple. Suraiah walks to Kutumba Rao to handle it, where he spots Kishtaiah, and they proceed home. At the same time, the Inspector's wife entrusts their baby boy to Sita for a while. Suraiah misreads him as their own, rushes, and notifies Rajyalakshmi. Being ecstatic, she proceeds for her great-grandson. Here, Kishtaiah is conscious of the error and seeks the Inspector's aid, but out of the blue, he gets transferred. Then, Kistaiah advances to a hoaxer, Anasuya. She rents her baby with a masterful deceit of forging a girl into a boy and intruding into their house. Now, Suraiah & Rajyalakhmi arrive when Kishtaiah senses Anasuya's fraud and struggles to keep that from his grandmother.
After a few comic scenes, Anasuya threatens and tries to loot Kishtaiah. Sita becomes distressed and re-suspects Kishtaiah's link with Anasuya—additionally, Sita conceives and divulges the whole to Rajyalakshmi. Startlingly, she discerns the sham on day one and continues the play. Forthwith, Rajyalakshmi drags Anasuya out, which enrages her ruffian husband. Accordingly, he abducts the ladies, the men behind them, by acquiring a scientist's magical Super Car, resulting in a thrilling chase. At last, Rajalakshmi fights back single-handedly when Kishtaiah joins and ceases the baddies. Finally, the movie ends happily with Sita giving birth to twins and all living together.
