My Movie ::: MAYABAZAR

I watched “Mayabazar” in Color, Scope, DTS – yesterday. I felt myself lucky to get a chance to watch this Classic, on big screen, that too in Color, which even the most of the Team of Mayabazar missed, as they are not with us.

Thought of writing “My Experience @ Mayabazar both B&W and Color”, but upon observing that many aren’t aware of the FACTS of Mayabazar, started writing an article which will put light on the FACTS related to MAYABAZAR.

Special Thanks to Goldstone Technologies & Super Good Films, who provided an opportunity/chance of watching this "One of the dictionaries of Film Making" on Big Screen, in Color!!!

Due to time constraints, here is only Part:1, Sorry!

Mayabazar:

Inthaki ee cinema emiti? Katha emiti? [Is Mayabazar a True story or a story with True incidents from our epics?]

Ee prashnaki samadham cherchinchukune munduga nadoka prashna “Mayabazar” cinemaloni katha/chupina chitra-vichitralu, nijama, ante mana puranallo vunnaya?

Is Mayabazar, Sr.N.T.R’s 1^st Sri Krishna getup/character/role played on screen?

Kani mana Cinema vallu devudi getupni design chesina vidhamki prajalu nammesi, nijamga devudu anevadu vunte ilanti roopu-rekhalathone vuntademo anukunnaru. Sr.N.T.R garu vesina Sri Krishnudi pathralaki cinepriyulu, prekshakulu, manthramugdhulayyaru. Ikkada oka gammaithaina vishayam – Mayabazar ki mundu “Iddaru Pellalu”, “Sontha Ooru” ane cinemallo Sr.N.T.R Sri Krishnudu getup/pathralo kanipincharu, kaani prekshakulu thiraskarinchatamtho – modata Mayabazarlo Sri Krishnudu characterki Rama Rao garini tesukuntunnamani K.V.Reddy garu annapudu, oka rakamuga Rama Rao garu bhayapadi, vodhhu ani bathimalaranta.
