Devi Putrudu (2001): Cast & Plot

The film opens with a legend of the sea swallowing the ancient city of Dwaraka, a cataclysm that still lingers as a thread pulling the present into a centuries‑old mystery. In modern Mumbai, Baburao, a street-smart petty thief who survives on pranks and quick getaways, moves through a world of small-time schemes and sly tricks. His routine shifts when a foreign-returned visitor named Satyavati arrives to see her sister, Karuna, who lives near the Dwaraka excavation with her archaeologist husband. The pair are accompanied by Satyavati’s uncle, Peddagaddala Peraiah, and together they hire a taxi that Baburao drives, initially mistaking Satyavati for someone who might be carrying valuable diamonds. Realizing his mistake, Baburao contemplates abandoning the group, but the pull of circumstance drags him along toward the fabled coast.
