Mostly celebrated for his superb comical offerings,Siva Nageswara Rao has an enviable track record to boast of.Nonetheless,when it comes to tackle factual scripts,this comical genius seems to be in a hitch.His recent release ‘Bhukailas’that follows the true story of real estate boom that jittered Hyderabad with the declaration of international airport,ring road on the outer edge of the city and many other such concerns,tastes outdated. 
This is a cult classic! I first watched it when I was in my 6th grade and even now I watch every now and then, with the same result - rolling on the floor. Great music by Illayaraja. All the scenic beauty of Konaseema and of the lilt of Telugu they speak there.
Director: K.V. Reddy Producer: B. Nagi Reddy and ’Chakrapani’ (Vijaya Productions) I have seen this movie more than 25 times.One of the all time great movie in Telugu films.Even today, it is considered as the best screenplay.No other movie tried to reach its heights so far. Maya Bazaar (released on May 27, 1957) is a Telugu mythological movie based on characters from the Mahabharata.
What a great cast, storyline and overall performances. NTR excels in the role of Sri Krishna, while Jamuna is the star - with a superb portrayal as Satyabhama. Kanta Rao in his usual role of Narada (Tampula mari Naradayya) had his finest performance in this movie. Anjali as Rukmini was ideal. 
Directed by K. Shankar, this classic drama from India stars M.G. Ramachandran, Jayalalitha, Cho, Chandrababu and Pandari Bai.Adimai Penn, which was one among the three films produced by the actor himself, was last released in 1995.It was caught in a legal battle over distribution rights which delayed its re release.
Students (2004) is the Tamil dubbing of the Malayalam film 4 the people directed by Jayaraj, starring Bharath, Gopika and Narain.The movie had some slight alterations to the original malayalm version.This music was composed by Jassie Gift.This movie had lot of talented debutants and was one of the finest & successful movies of the year.The movie was dubbed into Telugu as Yuvasena- 4.The People and was commercially successful in Tollywood.
Narasimha is a 1999 action, drama and romance genre tamil film that starred the stars Rajnikanth, Ramya Krishnan and Soundarya in the lead roles.Rajnikanth as ususal has given his best performance in this movie as well like in his previous films.Music directed by Rahman A R is the plus point of this movie as it consists of nice songs like Chuttu Chutti, Kikku Yekkele, Meriseti Puvaa, Narasimha and Yekku Tholi Mettu.

With his innocent looks, everyone thought that he could not play professional killer to good extent. But, Mahesh proved his critics wrong once again in this action drama. Though movie started as a pure action oriented, it slowly goes towards family drama. With few hiccups which are quite natural in mainstream cinema, Athadu is a must watch for Mahesh’ performance, good music and lavish production values. Kudos to Mahesh.
