Sabita Bhamidipati's Dances and the film Saptapadi (1981, Telugu)

Just like Malavika featured in my previous postabout the the film Ananda Bhairavi, Sabita Bhamidipati was also a film-classical-dance-one-hit-wonder.  Her only film was K. Vishwanath's 1981 feature, Saptapadi, which TeluguOne has uploaded in full on their YouTube channel (starting with Part 1 here)- yay!  Do note that they have also inexplicably uploaded the whole thingin better video quality BUT the video is stretched so everyone looks short and fat!

About the Film


Saptapadi won the 1982 Indian National Awardfor “Best Feature Film on National Integration” for “focusing on the problems of society whose orthodoxy inflicts grave injustice on the underprivileged, for the dilemma faced by a brahmin disciplinarian in confronting his grand-daughter’s love for a Harijan, [and] for resolving the problem in a rational manner, worthy of the country’s best secular traditions."  It sounds like quite a serious film from that description! But it’s actually what I would consider a sweet film with a serious message.

Saptapadi essentially tells the story of a Kuchipudi dancer Hema (Sabitha Bhamidipathi) who is the granddaughter of the feared and orthodox Brahmin priest Yajulu (JV Somayajulu) of the local Hindu temple. Impressed by Hema’s dancing, the priest fixes her marriage with a man named Gowrinath (Ravikanth). But Hema is in love with another man, Hari (Girish), who is the flute player accompanying her performances and whom she soon is astonished to learn is a “Harijan” low-caste untouchable! Since intercaste marriage is unacceptable, she dutifully enters into marriage with Gowrinath. On the wedding night her husband envisions (hallucinates?) that she is a Hindu goddess and he worships her instead of consummating the marriage. This continues for some time, much to the disappointment of Hema. She often fondly recalls her ro

    1981 Indian Telugu Language film

    For the 1961 Bengali film, see Saptapadi (1961 film).

    Saptapadi (transl. Seven steps) is a 1981 Indian Telugu-language drama film written and directed by K. Viswanath. Upon release, the film received widely positive reviews and won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration, four state Nandi Awards, and the Filmfare Award for Best Telugu film. The film was featured retrospectively at the AISFM film festival. In 1984 Viswanath directed the Hindi version Jaag Utha Insan.

    Premise

    The film is not only about the seven steps that one takes during a Hindu wedding that completes the act of shedding bachelorhood and entering a more stable married state but also talks about an individual's journey breaking away from the shackles of conservatism to finding a path of understanding, encompassing and enlightenment.

    Plot

    Saptapadi deals with the transformation of an individual so devoted to the concept of rituals, that it takes an act of God for him to realise the true spirit behind the rituals and true meaning of the prayers. Yajulu is a man of great conviction. According to him rules and customs, that have been passed down generations thus standing the test of the time, are there for a reason and hence are immutable; traditions are trademarks of culture and customs, its signature. He does not mind losing his daughter for his principles.

    He is well into his twilight years which give him even more reason to not mend his ways. In his footsteps follows Gaurinadha (son of his son), gearing up to be head priest at the local temple. Yajulu's will prevails over Hema's (daughter of his daughter) wish and Gauri and Hema end up being married. However, Hema is secretly in love with a flutist, who is not of her caste. The brilliance of Viswanath comes full fore at this point, when on the couple's first night, Gaurinadha witnesses
