7 defining moments from Rana Daggubati, Sai Pallavi-starrer Virata Parvam

The teaser of Venu Udugula’s Virata Parvam paints a clear picture of the story, the characters, and the political climate of the time it is set in. Here are 7 defining shots from the teaser that beautifully add to the universe of the film, which is based on true events.

As Rana Daggubati’s character Ravi/Ravanna, meaning sun, is penning his thoughts on the discrimination against minorities, sunlight enters the room. A ray of light in an oppressive world.

When Sai Pallavi’s character Vennela, meaning moonlight, reads the writings of Ravanna, we once again see the sunlight. The juxtaposition in their names is likely to hold a much deeper meaning.

Easily the most defining moment from the teaser is when Vennela holds a leaf with the communism emblem cut in it, encapsulating the film’s essence - Revolution is an act of love.

Shots as such have frequently been used to foreshadow female emancipation and this seems to be no different as Vennela sets out on a journey to meet Ravi.

This shot reflects the film’s universe, a calm and serene land that’s rife with societal conflicts.

Comrade Ravanna on the bloodstained battlefield.

This shot places Vennela in a bloody battleground and she is certainly not prepared for the violence.
