Madhumati (Soundarya) is a research scholar. Her thesis subject is a study on snakes. Her professor (Sarath Babu) tells her about 'naga sastram' (science of snake) that is written by few priests a few centuries back. That naga sastram is kept in Nallamalla forests with a snake protecting it round the clock. Madhumati reaches Nallamalli forests and tries to procure Naga Sastram. In this process she encounters Swetha Nagu (white snake). Swetha Nagu is after Soundarya to bite her. A Sadhu tells her that she killed a snake in her past life and that snake is seeking revenge now. He also gives her a talisman to protect herself from swetha nagu. The rest of the film is all about how Madhumati fights with Swetha Nagu and wins with the blessing of Naga Devata (Goddess of Snakes).
Analysis :
This film is Soundarya's 100th film as an actress. This film is also her first film after marriage. She suited the role, though she seems to have lost that glamour she possessed before the marriage. She is good in emotional scenes. Sunita dubbed her voice. Abbas played second fiddle to Soundarya. Abbas seems to have put on little weight. Sarath Babu is fair. But the director made him give ambiguous expressions in the beginning parts of the film. One does not understand why Prudhvi is taken for an item song in this film. He is never known as a terrific dancer. Abhinaya Sree oozes sex appeal as tribal girl. Jaya Prakash played the role of tribal leader. The comedy by Dharmavarapu, Mallikharjuna Rao, Brahmanandam, Kallu Chidambaram and a Tamil artist is unimpressive. Sangeeta is OK as the mother of heroine.
