What happens
Oka Nari Vanda Tupakulu (transl. One woman, hundred rifles) is a 1973 Indian Telugu-language action film directed by K. V. S. Kutumba Rao and produced by Y. V. Rao under the banner of Ravichitra Films. The film stars Vijaya Lalitha as a courageous revolutionary leader and Rajanala as the antagonist, with music composed by Satyam. Notable for being the first Telugu film to feature CinemaScope sequences, Oka Nari Vanda Tupakulu was primarily shot in black-and-white. However, the climactic scenes were filmed in colour and presented in CinemaScope, marking a technical experiment in Telugu cinema. The film blends action with a patriotic theme and was released on April 11, 1973. It was inspired by the 1969 American Western film 100 Rifles. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
