What happens

Palletoori Pilla (transl. Village Girl) is a 1950 Indian Telugu-language film produced and directed by B. A. Subba Rao under the Sobhanachala & B. A. Subba Rao Joint Productions banner. It stars N. T. Rama Rao, Akkineni Nageswara Rao and Anjali Devi, with music composed by P. Adinarayana Rao. The film was loosely based on the English play Pizaro by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Palletoori Pilla was the first lead role for Rama Rao who had earlier acted in a minor role in Mana Desam (1949). It was blockbuster and was the highest grossing Telugu film of the year, and both Subba Rao and Rama Rao gained a good reputation from it. The film also marks the first collaboration between Nageswara Rao and Rama Rao who further acted in 14 films together thereafter. The film was dubbed into Tamil as Grama Penn which became a hit. It was later remade in Hindi as Insaniyat (1955). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
