Telugu Cinema Prapamcham

Synopsis: Mohini-Bhasmasura is a beautiful story that tells how Mohini (Pushpavalli) uses her charm to save Lord Shiva from Bhasmasura, a terrible demon. Mohini is a female incarnation of the great preserver-god Vishnu. Vishnu's role in the cosmos is as the preserver of form and of balance. To meet his goals he frequently takes on fleshly form, often (but not always) human. While incarnate he retains his divine powers, but cannot be recognized by mortal eyes. Mohini is special, though, in that she is a male god in female flesh. Cast: Pushpavalli (Mohini), Dasari Kotiratnam (Lakshmi), A.V.
