Devadasu Malli Puttadu (1978)

Based upon the concept of reincarnation, this evocative romantic drama begins where the prequel, Devadasu (1953) left off; Devadasu (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) leaves his last breath in front of Parvathi's (Savitri) house as she rushes to see him, but the door is closed by her family and she collapses. Chandramukhi is a courtesan who falls in love with Devadasu, whom he promises to marry in next life also dies at his Samadhi.

In this sequel, Devadasu takes rebirth as Sridhar Raja and Chandramukhi as Aruna (Vanisri). Parvathi is still waiting for Devadasu because she has a desire from her childhood to serve Devadasu and she has strong faith that he will definitely come to keep his promise. How will the reincarnated Devadasu find his way back to Parvathi? Will he find Aruna, the reincarnated Chandramukhi and keep his promise by marrying her?
