Plot:
Saptapadi deals with the transformation of an individual so devoted to (mired in) the concept of rituals, that it takes an act of God (will be discussed shortly) for him to realize the true spirit
behind the rituals and true meaning of the prayers.
Yajulu is a man of great conviction. According to him rules and customs, that have been passed down generations thus standing the test of
the time, are there for a reason and hence are immutable; traditions are trademarks of a culture and customs, its signature.
He does not mind losing his daughter for his principles.
He is well into his twilight years which give him even more reason to not mend his ways.
In his footsteps follows his Gaurinadha (grandchild from his son), gearing up to be a head priest at the
local temple.
Yajulu's will prevails over Hema's (grandchild from his daughter) wish and Gauri and Hema end up being married.
The brilliance of Viswanath comes full fore at this point, when
on the first night, Gauri witnesses Durga devi in Hema, and walks out of the room completely shaken up.
This act of God triggers Yajulu's thought process to seriously question, for the first
time in his life, the validity of his position on matters that involve caste, creed and religion, justifying the steps that Yajulu takes one a time, from the first one in trying to understand Hema's real
interests till the last one, when he sees her off with her love interest on the boat.
The crux of the whole film is contained in a beautiful conversation that happens between the characters played by Allu Rama Lingaiah and J.V. Somayajulu. Is caste a necessary evil? Is it evil
in the first place? If the original idea that "dharmam" (vrutthi dharmam in this case, than mano dharmam, meaning, nobody is
