Jeevana Jyothi (1988 film)

Plot

The film begins with an ideal wealthy couple, Sridhar & Kalyani, who have borne fruits for 12 years of martial life, but as childlessness, they perturb. Akbar, their stanch servant, is reared by Kalyani, who showers him with a motherly attitude, and he, too, adores her vehemently. Parallelly, as a glimpse, Akbar loves Noorjahan, whose father, a nominal Nawab Abdulla Ali Khan, denies it. Hence, Akbar schemes and tactically gets acceptance when Kalyani blesses them, too. Meanwhile, awesomely, Kalyani conceives but unfortunately goes into miscarriage due to Akbar's fault. Plus, doctors removed her uterus, and she never had a child, which devastates Kalyani. Whereat, remorseful Akbar relinquishes his nuptial & comforts as a penance. Yet Kalyani induces him and knits with Noorjahan.

Ergo, Kalyani affirms that he will conduct a second spouse to Sridhar for progeny. Though he refutes, she forcibly makes him accept and look at various matches. Conclusively settles upon Sridhar's secretary, Nirmala, and conjugials them. Soon after, Sridhar detests Nirmala, but Kalyani nears them and makes him realize her virtue. Following this, Nirmala gives birth to a baby girl, Latha. Now, Kalyani is blissful and dotes on the baby as a whole world. All is well until Nirmala's shrew mother, Durgamma, walks in, who ruses by poisoning Nirmala's mindset—additionally, she cannot bear Latha's prioritization towards Kalyani. It leads to a big fuss that makes Kalyani quit when Sridhar completely collapses. At that moment, Akbar & Noorjahan proclaim they will not leave Kalyani alone since their life is devoted to her. So, she shifts to a far place with them and spends time in divinity.

Years roll by, and an alliance of Latha fixes; fortuitously, Kalyani senses it and proceeds despite her terminally ill. Suddenly, Sridhar goes bankrupt, which disturbs the wedding due to dowry. Kalyani arrives and performs it by sacrificing her diamond wedding chain
