First let me talk about the new charm of the movie. Probably for once i am feeling so happy that we are so ahead in technology. Otherwise, this miracle would not have happened. I am an ardent fan of Old telugu movies from when i started watching movies. But born in this generation, i haven't had the privilege to watch movies of that era(1950-1970) on silver screen. But now i am happy that this wish is fulfilled and i got a bonus candy, the color version of the movie :) . How amazing it was!! The quality of the picture, the subtle colors used and taking care of every minute detail shows the hardwork gone behind transforming the entire movie to color.
And now about the very movie. This is actually a love story unlike the ones that i described in my opening lines. I have no words to describe how gorgeous all the cast looked(their beauty enhanced with the colors used). The grandeur of the movie is extraordinary. The lead lady, Savitri is breath takingly beautiful. And no other fits best Lord Krishna like Late Sri NTR did. Man, he was so handsome. And Sri SV Ranga Rao, i bet i have never seen a song like 'Vivaha Bhojanambu' till date. Ofcourse, our ANR is good too. The direction, the photography, especially the screenplay are mind blowing. A love story woven around the characters from the great Indian epic, Mahabharatha is possible only by the imagination of a great brain. They show in the movie some pieces of technological brilliance which came just out of imagination. People who already watched the movie, must have observed a kind of telepathic machine and a lie detector which are unknown terms at the time of making of the movie.
The songs in the movie are my all-time favourite. There are lot of movies now full of graphics and animation effects. To me, they look nothing but artificial. This movie too has graphics, but they seem so natural to you. It's may be you get involved so much in the movie, that the un-naturality(if any) goes unnoticed.
When i left for the movie, i never expected a HOUSEFULL. But to my surprise, it was. And the amazing thing is larger percentage of audience is youth. There were many children too who enjoyed very well the scenes with magic etc. The people who are behind this project should be highly appreciated because of whom people got a chance to watch this great epic movie. It's glory is revived. This generation gets a taste of the past grandeur. I recommend each telugu person to watch this movie as a must. Non-telugus take a translator along :).
Sometimes words can't describe your feelings exactly. And you end up writing everything but about how you felt.That's what i did just now. I thought of sharing my experience, but couldn't. The best thing you can do is 'GO and Watch the movie' to know what the feeling is like. In short, it's eternal bliss.
Finally, I pity the OSCAR. It is so unlucky that it din't get a chance to present itself to Mayabazar, one of the very few classic and finest examples of movie making.
