Saptapadi

This 1981 Telugu drama, written and directed by K. Viswanath, centers on a strict, tradition-bound Brahmin priest who once cut ties with his daughter for marrying outside their caste. When his orphaned granddaughter, a gifted dancer, comes to the village and is secretly in love with a flutist from a lower caste, the priest instead arranges her marriage to his own devout grandson, setting off a quiet crisis of conscience within the family. The story explores how rigid customs and caste divisions clash with personal devotion and inner conviction.
