Rudra Veena

This is one of the finest and refined movie with great message I have ever seen. Chiranjeevi excelled in his character. The cast and entire crew of Rudraveena did a splendid job. The Karnatic music in this movie is my all time favorite. The album itself is a milestone. Even if a Single person changed his opinion towards consuming alcohol..this movie is Justified. The singers who have rendered their voice especially for the Karnatic songs are exceptionally appreciable. Chiru's eloquent expressions as a Karnatic Vocalist are awesome. I am a big fan of this movie and of course Chiranjeevi. I was a big fan of Chiranjeevi...But my admiration towards him doubled after seeing this message oriented movie. Ingeneral it won't appear to masses. But he dared to take the risk and he succeeded with the movie. I strongly recommend this movie.

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.

This not a great love story nor an action flick.But this is a movie with soul which makes us enlightened on social welfare.THIS MOVIE INFLUENCED GOVERNMENT POLICIES IN MANY WAYS. A VISIONARY MOVIE INDEED. Though its basically a musical, social awareness was the theme that was carried all over. This movie fights against UNTOUCHBILITY (poor soul died in a electricity accident incident/song in the woods/ female lead dancing outside temple etc...) It fights against alcohol addiction,later governments have banned liquor for quiet some time. It showed self finance scheme for women now called as "DWAKRA GROUPS" by government. It emphasized on women education which government took up later with a punch line " IF MOTHER IS EDUCATED THE WHOLE FAMILY IS EDUCATED" It also shows women empowerment and self employment. The most important thing is people developing their own village which later government introduced as "JANMABHOOMI PADAKAM". Many things worth mentioning such as inter caste marriage/ sacrificing personal life for social welfare...many as such. Classical music by ILAYARAJA, excellent direction by sticking only to the noble theme, star hero shedding his image and portraying himself as common man in simple costumes and make up. For this movie the male lead MEGASTAR CHIRANJEEVI GOT SPECIAL INVITATION FROM THE OCAR AWARDS Committee! This movie won BEST FILM in foreign film category in Russia. GOVERNMENT of India felicitated this movie with NARGIS DUTT NATIONAL INTEGRETITY AWARD and mega star won FILMFARE AWARD for BEST HERO ANYTHING MORE TO SAY.

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

This should definitely go down as one of the greatest movies in the 1980's. Music, moral, and will power is all what this movie is about. Chiranjeevi was superb, playing the typical classical musician/societal role to perfection. The rest played their characters well.

This film won 4-5 National awards! and many other film fare/Nandi awards. Film wasn't a huge hit because of the time it was released but will be remembered always!

Bilhari, Tarali Rada and many more songs are worth listening. Lot of moral, lot of theme in them. The movie is smooth, the story is very plain and simple.
