Mayalamari

Plot

Princess Indumati, the heir of a kingdom, falls in love with the valiant soldier Pratap. Her maternal uncle Bhaskar Varma, who aspires to possess both her and the kingdom, kidnaps her when the king decides to unite the couple. Pratap rescues Indumati, and they flee to a forest. There, Pratap tries to pluck a large fruit that lifts him into the sky, landing him in the cave of the sorceress Maayalamari.

She offers him to a goddess, then brings him back to life and compels him to marry her. Pratap refuses, so Maayalamari disguises herself as Indumati, but Pratap recognizes her and escapes. Later, confused, he rejects the real Indumati.

Distressed, Indumati attempts suicide but is sheltered by the tribal leader Gandara Ganda, angering his lover Kuranji. Meanwhile, Bhaskar Varma, disguised as a saint, searches for them with his associates. Kuranji secretly leads Pratap to the hamlet to reunite him with Indumati.

Gandara Ganda tries to molest Indumati, but she escapes to Bhaskar's cottage, where he deceives her. Bhaskar captures Pratap and Kuranji, returns to the palace, and sentences Pratap to death while forcing Indumati into marriage. Gandara Ganda, freed by Kuranji, attacks the guards and releases Pratap, who kills Bhaskar Varma. The film ends with the marriage of Pratap and Indumati.
