Aadi Dampatulu (transl.Beginning Couple) is a 1986 Telugu-language drama film produced by Nitin D. Kapoor under the JSK Combines banner and directed by Dasari Narayana Rao.

Plot[edit | edit source]

The film begins with an ideal couple, Shankar Rao and Parvati. Shankar Rao has three siblings: Mohan, Sagar, and Kamala. For their nurture, the couples give up their progeny, and Shankar Rao aims and strives hard to civilize his brothers.

Discerning it, the younger Sagar feigns illness and molds Mohan, an engineer. Eventually, Mohan loves and knits vainglory Uma, the daughter of multimillionaire Sulochana Devi. Soon after, she becomes hostile towards the family and swears to ruin their happiness, which works, leading to detachment. Afterwards, Uma departs to her mother's house along with Mohan, where he is humiliated, so he quits and walks on to Dubai to have a career. Sagar also steps out because of Uma's mortification.

After that, Shankar Rao sacrifices his job and home to perform Kamala's nuptial with her love interest, Bujji. Following this, Uma admits her guilt and forwards for Mohan. Midway, she is attacked by goons when Sagar secures her. Simultaneously, Mohan returns, searching for Shankar Rao and Parvati. Later, they discover they are terminally ill. Finally, the two departs together, showing they are immortal.
