Where did you watch this movie?

This educative and thought-provoking social drama delves into the struggles and sacrifices of Narayana Rao (Rajendra Prasad), a patriotic and simple village school master, who takes immense pleasure in working for the betterment of his students and his village. When Narayana Rao returns from the USA to his native village after a long gap he finds himself treated to a rude awakening. While sentiments and affection used to be the guiding forces in the village he left, commercialism and greed are the dominant forces in the current scheme of things. Stung by the changes his village has undergone and ashamed of the rapid decline in human values due to urbanization, Narayana Rao sets about repairing the damage time has caused. In between, flashback episodes show the life Narayana Rao used to lead in his village and the bonds shared between members of various communities. How successful will Narayana Rao be in minimising or reversing the decline in social values? Can be really bring about a realisation in people when callous indifference, apathy and selfishness prevail?
