About Malliswari:
As you all know 'Malliswari' (1951) is one of the best classics of the Telugu cinema. It introduced the renowned Devulapalli Krishna Sastry's poetic genius to the film lovers of the times. The lyricism of the songs he wrote for the movies still ring in the ears of cinegoers and lovers of poetry. The story of this BN Reddy's classic has an interesting background. In the late 1940s Buchibabu wrote a story about a dasi's escapade from a king. The story of Malliswari has its basis in it. The jokes and the pranks of the Nagaraju-Malliswari pair, played by NTR and Bhanumati, are actually are reminiscences of BN Reddy's childhood incidents and experiences.
BN Reddy holds a special place in the history of Telugu Cinema. He is the director who balances artistic values and business needs in the right proportion. Though critics rate 'Sumangali' and 'Swargaseema' as BN Reddy's best films, he thinks 'Malliswari' is his career best.

"When I went to Hampi to shoot my first film 'Vandemataram' in 1939, I was deeply attracted to Sri Krishna Devarayalu", BN Reddy fondly recalls. I wanted to make a film on Sri Krishna Devaraya. Years passed by. But I could not get the right story. Fortunately, 'Malliswari' happened. I think it is the best movie I have directed', he adds.

Songs of 'Malliswari' coupled with the heavenly expressions of Bhanumathi clicked in a big way. The art work by AK Sekhar is commendable. Bhanumathi commemorates "BN Reddy is a great thinker. He injected all his childhood memories into the character of 'Nagaraju' in Malliswari. Can we afford to forget the songs 'kothibavaku pellanta', 'preme neramouna' and 'o meghamala'?"

Bhanumati acted as a vamp in the earlier film of BN Reddy, 'Swargaseema'. She attained the status of superstar at the time of Malliswari shooting. NTR was on a slippery wicket at that time. But it was BN Reddy's confidence in NTR that did the trick. He feels that the pair of Bhanumati and NTR is the best one.

During the production of 'Malliswari', there was a slight misunderstanding between BN Reddy and Bhanumathi. Bhanumathi used to be a little irregular as she was busy with her own production (Prema) work. At one point of time BN Reddy wanted to replace Bhanumathi with a new face called 'Revathi'.

We can get a glimpse of Revathi in one particular song in Malliswari ... 'PoyiRavamma'. Probably he would have thought that Revathi could not match Bhanumati in performance. Though its difficult to him, he was forced to work with Bhanumathi. Bhanumathi never holds back from criticizing BN Reddy that he want his actress to stick to his film and he do not his heroines to get married.

The photographer for the film 'Malliswari' is Konda Reddy, the younger brother of BN Reddy.

Malliswari has gone places and got heavily screened in abroad. BN Reddy wanted to dub this film into English. Due to budget considerations, he could not do it. BN Reddy expired in 1977.

Story:
Vijaya Banner was one of the most entertaining and respected production companies in 1950's. Vijaya's debutante film was 'Shavukaru'. It made inroads into box office despite of having a touch of art film. After the tremendous success of Shavukaru Vijaya produced a mythological film called 'Pathalabhairavi'.Pathala Bhairavi's shooting was trigged off on 5th Feb., 1950 and it finished it's shooting on 8th Feb, 1951. After getting released on 15th March 1951 'Pathala Bhairavi' created the box-office sensation by celebrating 100 days in 28 centers. It was one of the four films selected from India for International Film Festival in 1952. Some people claim that 'Pathala Bhairavi' was inspired by 'Arabian Nights'.

The first and foremost factor for the success of this film is none but the brilliant K V Reddy. Prior to Pathala Bhairavi, he directed films like 'Bhakta Potana', 'Yogi Vemana' and 'Guna Sundari Kathalu'. 'Pathala Bhairavi' paved way for a new trend in the mythological films. Another important factor for the fame of 'Pathala Bhairavi' was the dialogue writer 'Pingali'. Legend Ghantasala has given melodious music for this film.

As for as the story is concerned Thota Ramudu (N T R) expresses his desire to his friend Anji (BalaKrishna) he want to marry Indumathi (Malathi). This story consists of adventures by Thota ramudu. 'Entha Ghatu Premayo' is the most popular song of this film. With the entrance of 'nepali manthrikudu'(SV Ranga Rao) the story takes new turn.
As the father of Indumathi puts a condition that he will give his daughter to the man who is as wealthy as he is, 'Nepala Manthrikudu' preys 'Thota Ramudu' by showing him his powers. 'Premakosamai (Nepali Mantrikudi) Valalo Padene Papam Pasivadu' How appropriate this song is!

KV Reddy gets the full credit for this excellent film. This films starts with a theme of 'Dhairye Sahase Laxmi'. The same spirit runs through out the movie. If we look at the actor's performance NTR's Thota Ramudu stands as a synonym to heroism. Idumati character epitomizes the innocence, sensuality of the heroine. But the one who stole the thunder was SV Ranga Rao, who acted with fire in his Nepali manthrikudu' role. He personality too suited well for this character.

Dialogues in this film made a way into the lingo of Telugu people.
1. Raja Kumari labhistundi
2. Abhistam Siddistundi
3. Sahasam Sayara Dimbhaka
4. Bhoopalam Pagilenu
5. Nepali Mantrikudu: Mari Manaku Addamemiraa - Assistant:Mee Gaddame Guru
6. Mosam Guru
7.Nijam Cheppamannara Abaddam Cheppamannara
There are nine songs in this film. T G Kamala's 'Itihasam Vinnaraa', Relangi's 'Vinave Bala.. Naa prema Gola', Rani's 'Vagaloyi Vagalu' and VJ Varms's 'Premakosamai Valalo Padene' are like honeydews.

About Palleturi Pilla:
Bugatha Venkata Subba Rao or BA Subba Rao, as he later rechristened himself, worked for the railways. He was dabbling in theatre as a hobby, but he soon quit his cushy job for the love of the arch lights. He landed up in Madras, where he got to play a comic role in one movie.

After that, a friendship with the Raja of Mirzapuram ensured that he got to direct a movie, without assisting anyone before this. His childhood friend and musician Adi Narayana Rao composed the music, wrote a song and even helped develop the story. The story was based on the English play, Fijaro by Richard Sherton. The movie was titled 'Palletoori Pilla'.

The story goes thus: NTR's photographs, which were with LV Prasad, fell into the hands of Subba Rao. A call later, NTR landed up with the lead role in the movie. So that he gets used to the camera, the makers gave him a small role in 'Mana Desam', that of a villainous inspector. As a lead, Palletoori Pilla is NTR's first flick.

Anjali Devi and ANR were not newcomers, having done several movies till then. While Subba Rao told him he liked his nose and his gait, Adi Narayana Rao said that 'He looks good even without makeup.'

But not everyone was happy with this choice. LV Prasad for one warned Subba Rao about the risks of casting a newcomer. Elapati Raghuramayya was considered for playing Vasanth, but the fight scenes deterred him.

ANR, who had already proven his acting and action skills in movies such as Keelu Gurram, was a worthy choice the makers then made. People spoke about ANR accepting to play a part right in the same league as that of a newbie. Anjali Devi, an established actress, was also asked why she agreed to be cast opposite a debutante.

Anjali Devi was paired with NTR in several films after Palletoori Pilla.
But all doubts vanished once they saw the new lead work. NTR's first ever shot as a lead actor required him to be slapped by Anjali Devi, with many retakes, of course. For an action sequence, he refused to let the director employ a dupe and fought with a violent bull himself. Two fractures later, NTR was still shooting, wearing full sleeves to cover the bandages.

Tapi Chanakya, who later went on to wield the megaphone himself, assisted the director in this movie. TV Raju was the assistant composer. Subba Rao started BAS Productions after the success of this movie. He made several movies such as Raju Peda, Chenchu Laxmi, Bheeshma and others. Palletoori Pilla was remade into Hindi as Insaaniyat (1955), starring Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand and Bina Roy, by Gemini Pictures. Even in Hindi, it tasted success.

During the shooting, NTR signed two more movies. After the movie was declared a hit, another hit, Sowkar, produced by Nagi Reddy and Chakrapani (Vijaya Productions) was released. BA Subba Rao's confidence in NTR ensured that the Telugu industry did not lose out an actor who was to later become a legend.

Story:
A major melodrama hit about the fragmentation of a joint family made in the same year as Prasad's seminal Shavukaru. After their joint appearance in Palletoori Pitta, also 1950, Telugu cinema's two best-known stars, N.T. Rama Rao and A. Nageshwara Rao, again teamed up for this story about a middle-class government clerk Raghu (NTR), living happily with his wife Manjula (Lakshmirajyam), until his schemine mother Venkamma. his sister Kamaksi ( Balasaraswathi) and her cowardly. husband (Venkatramaiah) move into his house. Venkamma appropriates all of Raghu's earnings and Kamakshi plots to have Manjula blamed for all that goes wrong in the household. Raghu, unable to pay his pregnant wife's medical fees, loses his job and abandons his family. His brother Venu (Nageshwara Rao), a flirt who lives off his girlfriend Kamala (Pushpalata) and her rich father, eventually traces Raghu and finds him a job as a porter in a mill. Venu also manages to reunite the family."

Showkar (1950)

Showkar (1950)

The Vijaya Banner did not come into existence in a flash. It evolved from it's sister concern vahini Studios. If we compare Vahini to 'pure Pochampalli Silk' then Vijaya can be termed as 'Synthetic Chiffon Silk'. Vijaya's first film was 'Showkar'.

To be told in Kodavaganti Kutumba Rao words, 'Showkar' is the first Telugu film that touches the social revolutionary and progressive subject. Earlier to that, films have come based on feudalism, widow marriages and untouchability. But this film has taken the theme of differentiating the riches and rags more close to the heart of viewers. There is no melodrama in this film and the words are very straight.

Vijaya has experimented this film with new comers. Sankaramanchi Janaki (she is known as Showkar Janaki now) and NT Rama Rao (He donned the role of Hero for the first time) did play the main leads. They have shown the professionalism of veterans in acting. Unfortunately, this film bombed at Box-office. Kodavatiganti Kutumba Rao says, "At that time people were used to Melodrama stuff. Since 'Showkar' is a progressive film dealt in a natural way viewers could not grasp and digest this film. If people encouraged 'Showkar', Chakrapani would have given us more good films to us.

With the box-office debacle of 'Showkar' Vijaya banner realized that it's going lose money if it targets the educated and thinking people with this their films. They came to conclusion that a film must entertain a common man. That's the reason why they have chosen 'Pathala Bhairavi' for their next venture.

Though LV Prasad is entrusted with the responsibility of directing 'Showkar', one can see the traces of Chakrapaani in that film. Chakrapaani is a wealthy man and is from a rich family ans it's amazing to see him do such a noble film in his first try at film production.

This film has real life characters. That is two farmers, a merchant, a teacher, a rowdy and a dobhi. There is practicality in this film. Ultimately what matters in the Industry is the viewers acceptance of the film which NagiReddy and Chakrapani failed to deliver with this film.

This film starts with a Sibi Chakravarthy Harikatha 'Srilu Chelange Bharata Bhoomini Paalinchina Bhoopaalakulu'. As the Harikatha is watched by all the villagemen, our Showkar Chengaiah avoids it by staying home. Govindarajula Subbarao garu donned the role of Showkar. The real story starts with the Janaki creating tension between Showkar Chengaiah and his neighbor Ramaiah.

Vijaya Banner gives special importance to music. Ghatasala Venkateswara Rao took the responsibility of providing music to this film. He inducted Telugu nativity into his music by adding sounds of village. In a song when hero asks his lover 'Palakaraadate Chilakaa?' then heroine replies 'Samukhamulo Rayabaramendukate'. Try imagine replacing these Telugu words with equalant words in Kannada and Tamil. One cannot get them. Since these words are pure Telugu and irreplaceable.

After a few years Nagi Reddy remade 'Showkar' in Tamil. VijayaNirmala has done the Tamil role of Telugu Janaki (That's why Nirmala added Vijaya before her name, as she acted in Vijaya Banner). In Tamil they could not replicate the music from Telugu 'Showkar' just because Ghantasa Venkateswara Rao made them Telugized with adroitness.

NagiReddy used tell about the Tamil Version of Showkar, 'Engavittu Pen' like this ... 'MR Radha(father of popular actress Radhika) was considered for the role of Govindarajula Subbarao's role. When the construction of studio was going on NagiReddy and MR Radha used to go for morning walk, but not together. They used to glance at eachother, but never cared to say 'Hi'. They do not have formal introduction to each other. When Nagi Reddy went to narrate the story to MR Radha, he told Nagireddy 'I thought you are a Mastri'. That is the simplicity Nagireddy has.

MR Radha is considered as an aggressive man in Tamil film Industry. But he used to be a submissive guy when he attends the sets of Nagireddy. He seems to have given a suggestion to Reddy that people will not accept these sorts of films as they expect action oriented films. May this thought has paved way for more action films in the years that followed.
