Adarshavanthudu

Sridhar comes home with a fresh law degree, a wealthy father's name and more confidence than wisdom. His very first case ends in disaster when his courtroom tactics wreck an innocent woman's reputation, with tragic consequences, and the guilt shakes him to the core. His driver, Chiranjeevi, a man of plain good sense, helps him see that winning a case and delivering justice are not the same thing, and Sridhar resolves to stand on the right side from then on. That resolve soon costs him. Opposing a false case cooked up by his scheming maternal uncle Dattudu and the village strongman Lingaiah sets him against his own family and takes him to a village where he meets again Lakshmi, the outspoken young woman who once called out his arrogance. Akkineni Nageswara Rao plays Sridhar, with Radha as Lakshmi and Jaggayya, Kanta Rao, Gollapudi Maruthi Rao and Nutan Prasad in support. Kodi Ramakrishna wrote and directed this 1984 social drama, whose title means 'the ideal man', with dialogue and lyrics by Acharya Aatreya and music by S. Rajeswara Rao.
