5. An younger brother of famous music director, S Rajeswara Rao (Koti's father) worked as the music director for a couple of NTR movies. Who is it and what are those movies?

Are you referring to S.Hanumantha Rao? If so, I believe he is the elder brother Of S.Rajeswara Rao.

Two NTR films for which S.Hanumantha Rao did music are:

Raitu Bidda
Aradhana

Krsihnamraju also acted as villain in ANR's Buddhimatudu. However, I am not sure if the movie was in early 70's or late 60's.

Vennela garu,

You are correct.. It was released in 1969. the last boat fight between ANR and Krishnam Raju is very funny (hero being 5 and half feet taller and the villain is about 6 feet and 2 inches and camera man's struggle to show them almost at the same height).... lol

You got all of them right except one... I read that Dasari had to accidentally become a lyricist from buchhibAbu movie (in 1980, Iguess).. manushulantA okkaTE was released in 1976 and I am not sure if that is his first movie as a lyricist.

You are reminding me our 1999/2000 Telugu cinema quiz days (held on Telugucinema.com). lol

I remember you telling me Atreya acted in Sannayi Appanna

schimata2 · Posted: Sun Jun 25, 2006 10:40 am Post subject:

No.. it is kODe nAgu (Athreya as Sobhan's teacher)..

I did not even watch sannAyi appanna Sad

I remember that it was produced by Chalam..

I asked you if the music director for the movie was Sathyam or GK Venkatesh and you confirmed it as GK Venkatesh Smile

As it was a remake from Kannada (played by Raj Kumar), I guess Chalam went with the original composer, GK Venkatesh instead of his AstAna MD, Sathyam..

I believe Chiranjeevi didn't act in Aadavallu meeku joharlu. It is Bhanuchander who acted in the film.

Murali mohan's original name is Raja Babu.

Giribabu's first picture is Jagame Maya.

Chakravarti worked as assistant to Rajan-Nagendra.(Source Srini post)

Rajanikanth acted the role of Amitabh Bachchan in the remake of Roti kapada aur makan. I can't recollect the movie name. I vaguely remember Sobhanbabu and Rati are the lead pair. Is it Jeevitaradham?

Anuradha first film Panchakalyani??

sunson · Joined: 05 May 2006 Posts: 141 Location: Hyderabad

Telugu remake of "Roti Kapda Aur Makaan" is Jeevana Poratam.

"Main Bhoolunga" song is "Maruvakumaa anuraagam" in telugu. Good melody by Chakravarthy

Anuradha first movie is Pancha Kalyani and movie features a donkey.

3. music director for 'sarigamalu' is Ravi (malayalee i guess, who gave music for original in malayalam)

6. it is 'kallu'(eyes) directed by ace cameraman MVRaghu (of anweshana fame) He later directed another movie 'aarthanadam' which is a big flop. song is 'tellarindi legandoy'. not sure abt music director.

8. movie is 'swarakalpana' directed by vamsi (my all time favourite director). lyricist is sirivennela.

Vennela garu..I think u got confused 'kaaru diddina kapuram' with 'bamma mata bangaru bata'. Because KDK is produced by Usha Kiron movies ramoji rao and directed by ace writer Narasa raju, *ing Rajendra Prasad, Pavithra..there is no Bhanumathi in this movie..(obviously she will not play back for others). So probably u r talking abt BMBB. There is a song by Bhanumathi in this movie like 'delhi ki raja kaina bamma mata bangaru bata'. not sure where SPB joined her in this song.

1. No idea... any clue??? Looks like NTR's song.

4. i) PBS/SPB: The the debut song of Balu (Emi ee vinta mOham, hosted in Sobhan's duets section... Balue sang for Sobhan and PBS for Haranadh).
Maybe some jasnapada movies like bommalu cheppina kathalu (PBS for Kantha Rao and SPB for Krishna); I guess in gOranta deepam also, PBS sang a song.

4 ii) In allUri seetArAma rAju, MBMK sings a padhyam for Krishna and SPB for Chandra Mohan; Also guppeDu manasu movie

4 iii) it is not my area Smile

7. After Money, Siva Nageswara Rao directed "One by Two" movie in 1994 with Srikanth and gaDDam Chakri. In that movie, Sudhakar and Babu Mohan have a parody track of gharshaNa movie and a disco song is picturized on them.

9. Rocky.. my friend, Venu Bhagavathula just informed me Smile

I guess Jayaprada's tammuDu, Raja Balu acted in it.
panchamonline.com --> filmography --> other regional movies.

10.. again, not my area Smile

My Friend Srini chased me to participate in the Quiz and I quickly correct couple of answers

Which is the only song to have been written using the letters of the saptaswaras i.e. sa, ri, ga, ma, pa, da, ni. Who is the lyricist?
