Both are Telugu films which were much ahead of their times
Rudraveena is also a good movie with Chiranjeevi.
Thanks for the suggestions. Read the descriptions and wow those films touch some sensitive and bold topics. I guess 80s film makers were revolutionary and the audience at that time were mature enough to accept those topics. I know that Malayalam films of that period too tackled some bold topics like incest,infidelity,age-inappropriate attraction with sensitivity and grace. You might like director I.V.Sasi's films like Eeta with Kamal Haasan or Lakshmana Rekha with Mammootty and Mohanlal.
We'd like to believe that strong women in cinema is a recent phenomenon. But all these films prove that women have been making strong choices all along. And that top male stars of that time had no ego problems taking these roles.
