What happens

Kula Gourava ( transl. Honour of clan) is a 1971 Indian Kannada language romantic drama film directed by Peketi Sivaram and written by G. Balasubramanyam. It stars Rajkumar in triple roles along with Jayanthi and Bharathi. The film was produced under Sri Eswari Productions of N. Veeraswamy. It had a very successful soundtrack composed by T. G. Lingappa. Popular actor-director V. Ravichandran, son of the film producer Veerasamy, appeared in the film as a child artist. The film swept 5 awards at the 1970-71 Karnataka State Film Awards including the best film, best actor, and best editor categories. Veeraswamy, who till then used to finance movies under Sri Eswari Productions, turned an independent producer with this movie. However, contrary to expectations, the movie failed to achieve 100 days run in its theatrical run. The movie was Rajkumar's first movie in which he played a triple role. It is also his only black and white movie where he played a triple role.The movie was remade in Telugu in 1972 as Kula Gowravam starring N. T. Rama Rao and Aarathi with Jayanthi reprising her role. It was also remade in Tamil in 1974 as Kula Gowravam starring R. Muthuraman and Jayasudha with Jayanthi reprising her role again. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
