Directed and produced in India, with all-Indian actors, Karunamayudu (also known in Hindi-dubbed as Dayasagar) is one of the most culturally relevant tools for Christian evangelization in India.
In India, most of the villagers behold a story they have never heard before: the Life of Christ. The gospel has come to life as people in every village who had never heard the name of Jesus, encounter the good news in their own cultural context when the film is shown.
Karunamayudu is a professionally produced film that was initially released in cinema houses throughout India. Native actors performing in the same language and lifestyle as the people watching the film are sharing the message of Jesus Christ. Karunamayudu has been the pioneer in culturally-relevant film evangelism for over thirty years.
