Rudra Veena

10 was given to the story, all the actors including chiranjeevi and not least to the songs the best of that time.

Ramesh aravind, shobana and especially tarali raadha songs is superb.

Randi Randi song sung by sakshi ranga rao gaaru is superb in the movie.

The feel and touch of movie is excellent.

to be frank movie was not received so well by audiences.

Still it could win many awards and blessings of many critics, The actor who acted as dad for mega star was excellent too.

Brahmanandam did a great job as comedian and converted person.

The emotions are emoted very well in each and every scene.

thanks for giving me a chance to write comment on such a great movie

_Rudra Veena_ (The Veena of Shiva, which sounds very baritone) is a movie with great intentions. The movie tries to fight the caste system, tries to argue that helping a fellow living being is of much taller order than even the praising the glory of the lord thru music. But I don't totally agree with the means with which these great intentions have been shown. The arguments between Satyam and Ganapathi Sastri bring out good truths, but they get silly at certain points trying to argue that music is in noway a means to the end. The movie also doesn't explain in detail on how the transformation has taken place. Instead, it takes the traditional Indian way of narration showing the results (i.e. transformation, in a few slide show kind of frames) and not the efforts to achieve the results. Chiranjeevi and Gemini Ganesan give a great performances, but Chiranjeevi is not close to a brahmin lad both in terms of accent and body movements. Overall, this is some good movie making with some great intentions and fantastic music by Maestro Ilaiyaraja.

If somebody asks me , What is the best Telugu Movie you have ever seen,I will say "Rudra Veena" , with out any hesitation.

I have seen this when i was 9-10 years old i still remember the Excitement i have felt when i saw "Nenu Saitham" song.I might have seen this movie more than 100 times on T.V . But now also whenever i see this movie ,my adrenaline pumps up

During display of the titles, there will be a background song "Chuttu pakkala Chhodara..." in which a Brahmin boy will be walking on after performing his Puja..An old blind lady will be searching for her lost Banana...This boy observes that but won't help her ..and will go away chanting his mantras...This scene depicts the essence of the Story...."Garvinche ee nee brathuuku ee samajame malachindi...Runam theerechu tharunam vasthe Thappinchuku Pothunnava.." Shouts Sirivennala's Lyrics.......

Chiru's Intense Performance........

Shobana's character which is fun loving yet having Self Esteem.......

Balachanders' Social commitment......

Sirivennela's Heart touching Lyrics..........

and above all

IlaiyaRaja 's Music ....

makes this a wonderful movie ..

This story deals with the age old Social defects in Indian Society like Untouchability and Alcohol. But i feel this movie tells about the contribution each individual should give to his society......

Its a fantastic movie with a social cause of equality and fraternity in human life. The protagonist played by Mega star Dr. Chiranjeevi, fights the problem of caste oppression(hidden apartheid) in a rural village of India. This movie generates some critical consciousness among the audience and brings sensitivity towards others castes, so as to appreciate the diversity and celebrate humanity.

This movie got a great admiration from the audience as well as from film critics. This has won the prestigious President award. The characters in the movie were very well crafted and all the artists had crafted very well to suit their respective roles. The music is fantastic and melodious. Dr. Chiranjeevi just lived in that role rather than acting it out.

Best movie i have ever seen in my life in any language. This movie has shown the talent of chiranjeevi. It shows chiranjeevi is a legend in acting. Though he was a commercial hero at that time, he dared to do a complete art film in his own production. this shows his love towards acting and the dedication. he is a legend of telugu film industry. Chiranjeevi him self said this is his one of the best films in his career.This movies has got a national award also. Though it did not collect money, it won many hearts and took chiranjeevi to the greatest heights. He is the king of Indian cinema.this was the first movie under anjana productions. Later he produced many movies under anjana productions. Rudraveena has its own place.
