Brahmachari (transl. Bachelor) is a 1968 Indian Telugu-language comedy drama film, produced by A. V. Subba Rao under the Prasad Art Productions banner and directed by T. Rama Rao. The film stars Akkineni Nageswara Rao and Jayalalithaa, with music composed by T. Chalapathi Rao. It was released on 1 February 1968.^[1] The film was remade in Hindi as Ek Nari Ek Brahmachari (1971).^[2] It was loosely based on the 1967 Tamil movie Penne Nee Vaazhga.

Plot

The film begins with Ramakrishna, a devout worshiper of Hanuman, who vows celibacy. Vasantha, his colleague, endears his nobleness. Raisahib Parandhamaiah, his father, a domineering paterfamilias, is distressed by him. Once, the college walks to a picnic where Ramakrishna unintentionally misplaces Vasantha's locket. So, in regret, he bestows his locket when his naughty friend takes a photograph and writes a love letter to Vasantha, forging Ramakrishna's signature. Parallelly, in a glimpse, Raisahib plots to perform the espousal of Ramakrishna with Kokila, the daughter of tycoon Bangaraiah and love interest to Ramakrishna's bestie Joogulu. Both make a game plan when Ramakrishna sends Joogulu as an alternative, and they are coupled up. In the meantime, she squeezes out her love when Ramakrishna scorns the women, and Vasantha flounces out, vowing to become his bride. After a few days, as a flabbergast, Vasantha arrives at Raisahib's house with a baby, claiming that Ramakrishna had married and abandoned her. Immediately, Ramakrishna rushes when she shows the love letter & pendant as proof and residence. At present, Ramakrishna tries to expose her lies in many ways but fails. Right now, Raisahib & his wife Gajalakshmi have decided to officially couple up the pair when they call their elder Anand Rao & daughter-in-law Shanta. Here, Ananda Rao recognizes Vasantha also intimidates, which Ramakrishna overhears and seeks truth when she narrates the past. Ananda Rao deceived Vasantha's elder sibling, Janaki, who died after giving birth to the baby. Before passing, Janaki takes a word from Vasantha to make the child legitimate and fulfill her sister's dream. Vasantha has done the play. At last, Anand Rao reforms and accepts the baby when Vasantha is about to leave. Ramakrishna dedicates his celibacy to her virtue. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Ramakrishna & Vasantha.
