What happens

Sati Savitri is a 1933 Indian Telugu-language but silent film directed by H. M. Reddy and produced under the Bharath Movie Tone banner. Released on 4 February 1933, the film stars V. V. Subba Rao, Kanthamani Kanya, K. L. Kantham, and L. V. Prasad. Produced in Bombay, Sati Savitri faced competition from another film of the same name, directed by C. Pullayya and produced by East India Film Company in Calcutta. While Pullayya's version was a major success, H. M. Reddy's film did not perform well at the box office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
