Srimad Virata Parvam is a 1979 Telugu-language Hindu mythological film, produced and directed by N. T. Rama Rao under his Ramakrishna Cine Studios banner.
It stars N. T. Rama Rao, Vanisri, Nandamuri Balakrishna and music composed by Susarla Dakshina Murthy.
The film begins with Pandavas' triumphs against their 12 exiles and starts the 13th year of Agnathavasam, i.e. living incognito under different identities.
Right now, Pandavas abide under various forms of disguise: Dharmaraja as an advisor, Kankubhattu, Bhima as the cook Valala, Nakula as a horse groomsman Damagranthi, and Sahadeva as a cowherd Tantripala.
Parallelly, Duryodhana & Shakuni conspire to knit Lakshmana Kumara with Uttara to gain reinforcement, which Kichaka graciously accords.
At the juncture, Kitchaka affirms Sudheshna, abet of Sairandhri behind the turbulence, and instructs her to send wine through her.
Before, they move to the Shami tree where the Pandavas hide their divine weapons and procure the Gandeevam when Brihannala regains his original form.
At present, Arjuna fires Sammohanastra a smoke weapon, which puts the Kaurava army to sleep and rescues the cattle.
