The film stars Jagapati Babu, Soundarya, Prakash Raj, and Sai Kumar in prominent roles with music composed by Ilaiyaraaja. Prakash Raj won National Film Award – Special Jury Award / Special Mention (Feature Film) for his performance in the film. The film won three Filmfare Awards South for Best Film, Best Director and Best Actress. The film also went on to win the Nandi Award for Best Supporting Actor for Jagapati Babu, Nandi Award for Best Female Playback Singer for S.

The film was later remade in 1999 in Tamil with the same name with Parthiban replacing Jagapathi Babu and it was remade in Hindi as Shakti: The Power (2003).
The film begins in the peaceful backdrop of Mauritius where Bhanu (Soundarya) lives happily with her guardian (Babu Mohan). She is a happy-go-lucky girl with no serious problems at all in life. Things go smooth when her guardian gets her an alliance Shekhar (Sai Kumar) and they get married in quite spontaneous circumstances. Their life turns like a dream come true and they get blessed with a son as well. One day, Shekhar comes to know that his family is in trouble back in India. Bhanu gets surprised to know about this because she thinks he doesn’t have a family. But he explains her saying his family belongs to Rayalseema region of Andhra Pradesh and unable to bear the faction and violence in the family, he migrated to Mauritius. He requests Bhanu to come to India along with him to see the tense situation there.
