Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari

Plot synopsis:
Raju (Chiranjeevi), a courageous and spirited young man, is a caregiver to four young orphans (Shamili, Shalini,and Richard Rishi). He is a tourist guide in a picturesque hill station.
One of the children is accidentally injured. An ayurvedic guru suggests the only cure for the child's injury - herbs found only on the banks of Manasa Sarovar. Raju goes to the Himalayas to retrieve these powerful herbs. During the same time, a celestial being, Indraja (Sridevi), the daughter of Lord Indra, happens to visit the Manasa Sarovar. She accidentally drops her ring there. This ring is her passport to Heaven. Raju finds the ring and starts wearing it, oblivious to its divine power. Indraja is unable to enter Heaven as she lost her ring. Brihaspathi, the Deva-guru, instructs her to go back to Earth to retrieve it before the next Kartik Poornima.
In search of the ring, Indraja finds her way to Raju's hometown. Due to her strange language and lack of emotional and social awareness, she is initially considered insane. Her umpteen confessions about her divinity are subject to laughter. Raju & the children take pity on her and provide her shelter in their home. She becomes close to the children and often ends up in trouble trying to take the ring from Raju.
In the meanwhile, Raju is caught up in a moral squabble with an arrogant millionaire, KP (Tiger Prabhakar). KP's goons launch a series of attacks on Raju and Indraja. Raju overcomes them, unaware that the ring is helping him. KP gets suspicious about Raju's supernatural power. KP approaches Mahadrashta (Amrish Puri), a sorcerer who sacrifices women to attain his powers. Mahadrashta discovers that Indraja is a celestial being and wants to sacrifice her to become immortal.
The kids take Indraja on a car ride one day and the car loses control. Raju averts a major accident and blames and abandons Indraja. The youngest of the orphans is critically injured when Mahadrashta's men bomb the school. When everyone's asleep, Indraja puts on the divine ring and saves the child. Raju realises Indraja's true self and repents for the folly. The two realize that they have fallen in love.
Raju uses the ring's power to scare KP and his goons. During this time, Mahadrashta tries to acquire it from one of the kids by hypnotizing her. A monkey grabs the ring and carries it far away, dropping it in the bowl of Kumkum at the feet of a statue of Hanuman. Raju and the kids search for the ring in vain.
Mahadrashta and his men plant false evidence in Raju's home to fabricate the lie that Indraja is a sorceress. Raju and Indraja two are pelted with stones and Indraja is carried away by Mahadrashta. The kids discover the ring and Raju sets out to save Indraja. A hypnotized Indraja does not recognize or respond to their calls. Upon coming in contact with the ring, she comes to her senses and destroys KP and his men. Raju kills Mahadrashta, refusing to use the ring, as he believes human power is enough to defeat evil.
The very same evening is Kartik Poornima, the final call for Indraja to return to heaven. Her thoughts are flooded with the loving memories of her time with Raju and the kids. She is caught between her love for Raju and her obligation to return to heaven to remain divine and immortal. Indraja throws away her ring and chooses to go back to Raju to lead a mortal life.

Review:
Mr.Braveheart Miss.Universe. One of the biggest hits of Chiranjeevi and Sridevi, and my personal favorite (did I see it 19 times , or 20...? or 21... guss the counts), this is a treat to watch, listen and enjoy. Not exactly the war over the Ring, it is the love story over the ring. Indra- the King of Heaven's daughter Indraja makes an excursion trip to "Heaven-on-earth" Kashmere, where she loses her divine ring of power, to be denied entry to the heavens. She needs to get her ring of divinity back in 30 earth days, to retain her divinity.  Fate lands the ring in the hands of Raju, a bachelor who raises four orphans, fights the rich bad guys, and is a guide to the Borra caves of Vizag. In her attempt to regain the ring, Indraja falls for Raju. But it's not just her on the trail of her ring. Raju's neighbors, the rich goons that raju beat up, and Mahadrashta, an evil magician want to wield the ring to gain the supreme power. Can Indraja forsake the eternal love for eternal divinity? Will the evil gain the ring to reign supreme? Can raju, a simple human win over the wicked people, evil magicians, his temptation for power and love for Indraja ? Beautiful Sridevi (Indraja), The Mega Star Chiranjeevi (Raju), the cold and evil Amrish Puri (Mahadrashta), great music and lively story that is a comedy, fantasy, drama, thriller and musical at the same time, will keep you coming back for more and more.
