Bhairava Dweepam is a Telugu-language fantasy film that was released in the year 1994. The movie was directed by Singeetam Srinivasa Rao and was produced by B. Venkatarama Reddy. The film was known for its stunning visuals, unique storyline, and brilliant performances. The movie revolves around the story of a royal family living in a mythical island located somewhere in the Indian Ocean. The island was ruled by the benevolent king Raja Vikramarka (played by Kaikala Satyanarayana), who is known for his just and fair ruling. He is also a believer in the power of science and keeps a scientist named Prabhakar (played by Babu Mohan) in his court.

The royal family consists of the king's daughter Meenakshi (played by Roja), her cousins, and her uncle (played by Vijayarangaraju). Meenakshi is a curious and adventurous person who wants to explore the world outside her island. But her father disapproves of her adventurous nature and puts restrictions on her activities.

One day, Meenakshi and her cousins accidentally enter a forbidden chamber in the palace and find an ancient book that tells the story of an evil sorcerer named Bhairava (played by Nandamuri Balakrishna), who was defeated by a group of powerful sages and was banished to a distant island. The book also reveals that Bhairava's followers are planning to revive their master and seek revenge on the sages who defeated him.

Meenakshi, fascinated by the story, decides to visit the island to find out more about Bhairava. She takes Prabhakar along with her and, after facing many obstacles, they reach the island. They soon discover that the island is inhabited by strange and supernatural creatures, including giant insects and talking animals. They also encounter Bhairava, who seems to possess magical powers and wants to take revenge on the sages who defeated him.

The rest of the movie focuses on Meenakshi and Prabhakar's fight against Bhairava and his followers to save not only the sages but also the world from destruction.
