After daughter played a small part from this movie in her school day, was interested to watch this movie. Also, came to know around the same time that this great emperor had ruled during the same time as Vyasaraja and Purandaradasa. And it had a great cast of Dr Rajkumar, Bharathi, Narasimharaju and Jayanthi. Truly remarkable to make a film at those times with limited resources of such tales - it is equivalent to Bahubali of current times. The first half is all about how he got two wives and just when I thought there was nothing shown in the movie other than his romances, some titbits of important happenings were shown - such as how he intelligently captured some of his enemies, his honor for other religions, his appreciations towards poets, Tenali Ramakrishna's antics, etc. But the eye-opener of the movie was knowledge about Timmarusu. Really could not believe all that he had to go through and such a sad ending to his and his family's life. And Krishnadevaraya's own life at such young age of 58. I must applaud the director for such a grand enterprise and bringing the story to life and eternity.
