Plot
The film begins at Madra Kingdom; its royal couple, Asvapati & Malawi, are perturbed as childless. So, the Emperor conducts a penance to Gayatri and boons for many sons. Instead, she bestows him with a daughter that surmounts his clan. The girl is titled Savitri, who was raised with divinity, getting knowledge of pious chronicles & sacred wives' stories. Once, she accompanies his father to hunt and gets acquainted with an exiled prince Satyavanta, the son of a king Dyumatsena of Salwa Kingdom. He blew his fortune with the foe Rudrasena's backstab, left as the forest dwellers, and plucked the couple's eyes. Satyavantha & Savitri endear, and Savitri confirms her choice to the parents. As a flabbergast, Narada arrives and states Satyavantha will die 1 year after the wedding. Despite this, Savitri holds steady and announces to face the fact. So, Asvapati headed to Dyumatsena with bridal connections. Soon after the nuptial, Savitri proceeds to her in-laws's hermitage, relinquishing the luxury and serving them with adoration. The day arises when Satyavantha moves in to cut wood from the forest, and Savitri follows him. Suddenly, Satyavantha collapses in Savitri's lap when Yama, the god of death, lands and claims the soul. Now, Savitri is behind Yama, depriving her lord's soul with big talk & reasoning of piety. Plus, with her grit, she makes the grade of Megha Mandalam, Sunyam, Surya Mandalam, Nakshatra Mandalam till Vaitarani. Across scales, Yama bestows Savitri with 3 boons, excluding her husband's life, and seeks to recoup the vision & kingdom of her in-laws, & the male progeny of her parents. At last, Savitri compels Yama to retrieve her husband as she earns the 3rd boon of a child, which is unfeasible without a husband. Finally, the movie ends happily with the universe acclaiming Savitri, who arrives on Earth with Satyavantha.
