film directed by V. Madhusudhana Rao. The film stars Akkineni Nageswara Rao,

Hindi film Daag (1973), which itself is based on Thomas Hardy's 1886 novel The
Mayor of Casterbridge.[1] The film was released on 14 April 1978.[2]

Plot
Chandra Shekar / Chandram, who loves & knits a beautiful Gowri. Soon, he acquires a
job in an estate owned by Surendra Nath, an honorable-seeking decadent who provides
them with hospitality. Once, he tries to molest Gowri when Chandram strikes, and
the quarrel ensues into the death of Surendra Nath. The judiciary designs Chandram
to hang, but on the way, the vehicle meets with an accident, and all occupants are
dead. By that time, Gowri was pregnant and had a baby boy. Years roll by, and Gowri
works as a schoolteacher, where she gets acquainted with one of the board members,
Ganga, and turns besties. Due to the ill-reputation of Gowri's husband, she loses
her job when Ganga welcomes her. Therein, Gowri flabbergasts & stupefies to see
Chandram alive as Ganga's husband. So, Gowri decides to quit; Chandram obstructs
her when she accuses him, and then he narrates the past. After absconding, Chandram
walked on for Gowri, but her whereabouts were unknown. In the passage, he meets
Ganga and learns that her lover has ditched her despite being pregnant. So,
Chandram married her to provide legitimacy to the child in return for her help in
establishing his new identity as Shekar. After a while, Ganga suspects Shekar's
closeness with Gowri. Later, he realizes this fact and pleads pardon. The law is
again at Chandram's doorstep, as Inspector Anand is, with an added crime of bigamy.
At last, Ganga brings out Surendra Nath's wickedness as he is the same one who
deceived her, which affirms Chandram's nobleness. Finally, the movie ends with the
acquitting of Chandram and all living together happily.
