Mayabazar (1957)
10/10
The greatest Telugu movie yet
18 December 2014
Brilliant screenplay & direction by K V Reddi, witty dialogues/lyrics by Pingali, excellent music by Ghantasala and exceptional camera work by Marcus Bartley, make this an epic classic, a must see for any movie fan. All the artistes suited aptly for their roles and delivered brilliant performances. SVR and Savitri lead the pack with classic performances followed by ANR and NTR.

K V Reddi's magnum opus has all the elements needed to entertain people of all ages. There is not a single scene that is extraneous, nor a scene that is missing. This is story telling at its best. No wonder K. V. Reddi is considered the 'Darshaka Brahma'!

Even in this age and time where people are exposed to variety of movies from Hollywood, Bollywood, etc., this cult classic continues to enthrall audiences across multiple generations.

I've seen this ~3hr long movie more than 20 times and enjoyed it thoroughly every time!

Telugus are a lucky lot and their cultural heritage is richer because of this epic.
