This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Babruvahana is a 1977 Indian Kannada-language Hindu mythological film directed by Hunsur Krishnamurthy . The film stars Rajkumar in a dual role as Arjuna and his son Babruvahana, the titular character alongside an ensemble supporting cast that includes B. Saroja Devi, Kanchana, Jayamala, Vajramuni, Thoogudeepa Srinivas and Ramakrishna.
The film narrates the story of Babruvahana, the son of Arjuna and Chitrangada, and the events that lead to him waging a war against his own father so as to restore his mother's honour. This was the first Kannada movie and seventh Indian movie to be based on Babruvahana.
The film won two awards at the 1976–77 Karnataka State Film Awards — Best Actor (Rajkumar) and Best Sound Recording (S. P. Ramanathan). The movie saw a theatrical run of 25 weeks. The movie was dubbed in Telugu in 1979 as Arjuna Garvabhangam. It was also dubbed in Hindi as Veer Arjun in 1977. This was the second instance of him portraying the role of Arjuna's son - the first when he portrayed the role of Iravan in the 1961 movie Nagarjuna. With this, he became the only actor to portray the role of Arjuna and his two sons.
