What happens

Amma Rajinama (English translation: Resignation of Mother) is a 1991 Indian Telugu film directed by Dasari Narayana Rao and cinematography by Chota K. Naidu. The Mother character is portrayed by Sharada. This is one of the movies where director Dasari touches upon women issues. It is a musical film with a film score composed by K. Chakravarthy. "Evaru Rayagalaru Amma Anu Maatakanna Kammani Kavyam" and "Srushitikarta Oka Brahmma…Atanini Srushitinchindoka Amma" are some of the best lyrics written about the greatness of the Mother. This movie also marks the debut of cinematographer Chota K. Naidu, who was an associate and regarded as a student of Dasari Narayana Rao. The movie was remade in Kannada as Amma (2001) starring Lakshmi in the title role. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
