Maya Bazaar

Perhaps the complete cinema in its era, Mayabazar with its stellar cast continues to amaze the Telugu audience till date... If the Telugu film industry can be divided into two eras then, it would be Pre and Post Mayabazar... That's how big the movie is... It was, it is and it will remain the CLASSIC for eternity... It has big heavy weights of Telugu Film Industry donning in various roles... ANR as Abhimanyu; SVR as Ghatothkacha and above all NTR donning the role of Lord Krishna.... Particularly NTR's subtle dialogue delivery and magnificent stature lights up the frame when he is there... The ever gorgeous Savithri is at her best... Adorable beauty she remains...

To sum it all, the events in the Movie do not truly depict of what happened in Mahabharata (The Epic of Hindu Mythology)... The likes of K.V. Reddy came out with a brilliant idea of weaving a small skit in the form of MAYABAZAR... The stand out point in the movie is "Marcus Bartley's" stunning light effects for the song "Lahiri Lahiri Lo..." The frame has been caught to perfection in every minute detail.. Hats off to that...

The movie was digitally remastered in color in the year 2008. They had to do away with some editing as the original movie tape was badly damaged in the testimony of time.. The newer version is Nevertheless, it lived up to its expectations... The movie came out exceptionally well and K.V.Reddy would have been proud of that..

If Moghal-E-Azam is to Hindi Film Industry then, the south India claims to have Mayabazar ... If a person were to draw comparison, then that would be it.. Both were magnum opus in their own way...

Go ahead and watch it in color and be enthralled !!! I will give it 10 out of 10... I consider myself blessed to have been born in the MAYABAZAR era....

You are not alone in thinking this is the best movie ever made, rgulla. In a poll conducted in AP, this movie was voted the best telugu movie ever made, and I totally agree.

What makes this movie fascinating is, in my opinion, this is only movie ever made that speaks to all ages at the same time. Harry potter is a children's' movie, we all know that. Similarly there are adult, young people's movies etc. But this is the only movie that a child can see for the magic and Gatothkacha. A young adult will watch the love story, and finally, an older adult will see the interaction between the two families, the politics that are played out. To top it off, for the retired person, this is a religious movie! No other movie, in any other language, is able to reach out to every moviegoer of every age.

This film stands as a true masterpiece in Indian cinema, excelling in every aspect. The story is not just great but exceptional, weaving a captivating narrative that keeps the audience engaged throughout. The screenplay is meticulously crafted, showcasing the talent of the writers in bringing this epic tale to life. The dialogues are powerful, leaving a lasting impact on the viewers.

The performances in this film are nothing short of extraordinary. NTR's portrayal of Lord Krishna is awe-inspiring, capturing the essence and charisma of the deity effortlessly. SVR delivers an unforgettable performance as Gatochgach, leaving a lasting impression on the audience. However, it is Savitri who truly steals the show with her portrayal, delivering a performance that can only be described as "never before, never again." Her talent and dedication shine through, making her the soul of the film.

The music in this film is timeless, with melodies that resonate in the hearts of the viewers long after the credits roll. The visual effects are simply mind-blowing, pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible in that era.

Director K. V. Reddy's brilliance shines through every frame, showcasing his genius in bringing this monumental film to the screen. His vision and direction are commendable, making this film a true gem in Indian cinema.

In conclusion, this film is not just great, but a cinematic marvel that deserves all the accolades it has received.

This movie I have been watching since I was a little girl. Even though I speak very little Telegu, I find that I need not know how to speak the language to understand what is going on. My father and I still make jokes about little lines that I remember. I dare not type them, for I do not know how to spell them, only how they sound. This movie is truly amazing, and an instant classic! I love how the giant changes into so many different things, and the bow and arrows used. The stunts are perfect. I am in the middle of ordering a DVD copy, so I may watch it all the time. I fell in love with music after listening to the soundtrack, hearing songs that me and my father still sing, once again, not daring to write to words, because I don't know how to spell them.

Laughs, Imagination and Wit.

A pure spectacle of cinema.!

A complete treat for soul.!
