What happens

Sri Datta Darsanam is a 1985 Telugu-language biographical film directed by Kamalakara Kameswara Rao. The story is based on the life of Hindu deity Dattatreya. The story of Dattatreya was shown earlier in Sati Anasuya as a part of the Anasuya story. However this film completely picturized this Hindu religious persons life details completely, for the time in any Indian film. The film was dubbed into Hindi as Shri Datta Darshan in 1988.
