Benkiya Bale (lesion of fire) is a 1983 Carnatic language Sandalwood movie, based on the novel of the same name, written by Bangalore based Carnatic novelist T S Subha Rao. Although the movie was made in the early eighties, it is actually set in the late forties.This is the ultimately tragic love story of Narasimha Murthy, a primary schoolteacher in rural South India, and of Rukmani, a woman around whom a lot of ugly rumors are swirling. Narasimha Murthy falls for and marries Rukmani in spite of her salacious reputation, and the couple look to be settling into Happily Ever After.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Until Nepotism raises its head to try to displace Narasimha Murthy from his schoolteacher position. After a few direct attempts fail, the ones who want to force Narasimha out of his job finally succeed by digging up those salacious rumors about Rukmani. The couple are forced to move to a different poverty stricken disease ridden village so Narasimha can teach school there. The couple are forced to endure destitution, isolation and suspicion, but they do endure.And then one morning Narasimha starts coughing up blood.

Death by Despair: Rukmini buys the drug needed to treat Narasimha's TB, but finds out that he succumbed to the illness while she was away. She breaks down crying over his corpse, cradles him in her lap while crying all the way while riding in a bullock cart to the cremation ground, then dies when they get there. The cart driver tries to rouse her, but she is unresponsive.

Blood from the Mouth: Although Narasimha has been running a fever for a day or two, and has been intermittently coughing, on one particular fateful day, he collapses in a coughing fit while teaching his class, dismisses his students for the day, coughs all the way home, collapses in a coughing fit again, then sees the blood on his handkerchief. Understandably, Rukmini panics.
