Subhakankshalu (1997): Cast & Plot

In a village torn by a long-standing feud between two neighboring families—the Hindu Seetaramayya and the Christian Stephen—their worlds collide in every corner of life, from disputes between the adults to friction among the younger generation. The rift stretches from Seetaramayya’s wife and son to Stephen’s wife and son, Balaramaiah and Moses, who, twenty-five years earlier, shared a friendship that once held the families together. The past romance of Janaki, Seetaramayya’s daughter, and Robert, Stephen’s younger son, ends in elopement and marriage against the wishes of their clans, sowing the seeds of an enduring divide that the present cannot easily mend.
