About Aastiparulu
Zamindar Janardhan Rao, a paterfamilias, holds high esteem in society. One of his sons, Bachi, is a vagabond and malicious, his misdeeds increasing day by day. After Janardhan Rao cuts his allowance, Bachi tries to make a theft, and his father collapses with a heart attack after obstructs his way. Before dying, he reveals the existance of a hidden treasure of their family hierarchy.
Directed by V. Madhusudhan Rao, Aastiparulu leans on a strong ensemble — Akkineni Nageswara Rao, J. Jayalalithaa, Kongara Jaggayya — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1966.
