Edureeta (transl. Flowing Against) is a 1977 Indian Telugu-language drama film directed by V. Madhusudhana Rao. The film stars N. T. Rama Rao and Vanisri, with music composed by Satyam. It is a remake of the Bengali/Hindi film Amanush (1975). The film was released on 22 July 1977.[1]

Plot

The film begins in a village where Inspector Ananda Rao, a newly appointee, comes across sundry characters: the diabolic president Bhushaiah, a benevolent Dr. Dharmaiah, and his sister Radha, a schoolteacher. Anand Rao is particularly fascinated by a drunkard, Madhu, who constantly lies in a cauldron of misery. Indeed, Madhu belongs to a Zamindar family who lost all, and the village ostracizes him, including his beloved Radha. Currently, he makes rowing a boat his livelihood, and the only one showing affection for him is the cute village girl Manga. Besides, Madhu always impedes the enormities of Bhushaiah. So, he forms a false allegation about him when Anand Rao misconstrues without going into the merits and whips him. Later, Dharmaiah pins on Anand Rao by divulging the past.

Madhu returned after accomplishing his education when Bhushaiah used to be their Diwan at his grandfather, the Zamindar. He affirms the construction of a barrage to shield the village from the floods. Accordingly, he requests his grandfather for funds, which he denies. Exploiting it, Bhushaiah heists the amount, incriminating Madhu, so Zamindar files a case that sentences him. Plus, he denounces him for deceiving a girl and charges her death on him, which Radha deludes. Following the return, Madhu spots Bhushaiah grabbing his property and utilizing Zamindar's death.

Listening to it, Anand Rao repents and embarks on a mission by reforming Madhu when the two turn into besties. Moreover, he attains a dam contract, which Madhu fulfills commendably. Parallelly, Anand Rao arouses Madhu's virtue before Radha. A catastrophe arises when the village is endangered by raging floodwaters threatening to breach the dam. During that plight, they seek Madhu to take the mantle of saving, but he spurns them, accusing them of his grief. Anyhow, on request by Radha, he relents and saves them from havoc, which restores his honor with his love. At last, Madhu ceases Bhushaiah. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Madhu & Radha.
