Ratnamala is a 1948 Telugu-language film, produced and directed by P. S. Ramakrishna Rao under the Bharani Studios banner.

Ergo, his Chief Minister Buddisagar, quests for the bride and approaches Simhakethu when he forges with his son's patriot, whom Ratnamala accepts.

Being conscious of deceit, furious Simhakethu prisons Chandrachuda, Buddisagar & his son and assigns Dhoomakethu to find Rathnamala's whereabouts.

After 7 years, one day, Chandrakantha walks into the forest for cattle grazing, where tribes abduct him for the blood sacrifice, but he skips.

All at once, Ratnamala is edged to execution, and the elderly couple startlingly appear into Siva & Parvati, confirming her eminence.

Though Samudrala was credited with the lyrics, it is widely believed that some of the hit numbers were actually ghost-written by Malladi Ramakrishna Sastry.
