Other half) is a 1955 Indian Telugu-language drama film, produced and directed by P. Pullayya under the Ragini Pictures banner.

Acharya Aatreya scripted the film based on Maddipatla Suri's Telugu translation of the Bengali novel Swayamsidda written by Manilal Banerjee.

Due to the mollycoddling of his mother, Naagu turns into a narcissist, and he mercilessly flogs his sibling.

Once Naagu visits their village, he tyrannizes the peasants, when intrepid Padmavati / Padma impedes his slave-driving attitude.

Listening to this, Zamindar walks to Padma, declares her the right choice for Naagu's amendment, and fixes the alliance.

Parallelly, it is made known that the old maid in the household who acted as a foster mother to Raghu by raising him, unknowingly gave him opium in his childhood leading to his mental condition.

Naagu also pesters the farmers for the lease arrears, and they bestow it to Raghu, avowing him as proprietor.

On the other hand, Naagu starts raging on the farmers when Raghu arrives and drops the money before him.

Nageswara Rao felt the negative role would not suit him, and was later cast as Raghu, which he preferred as he considered it "more challenging".
