Nostalgia: NTR's Speech Variations On and Off Dais

Every Andhrite knows how NTR's speeches shook the senses of people. His speech used to comprise melo-dramatic words with cinematic appeal. And his dialogues on screen need no explanation. They stood as best all the time. But how he used to speak off the screen in informal sittings?

The people those observed him in close contours say that he used to speak in normal tone like any other Krishna district villager. He used to have pakka Vijayawada slang (his native was Nimmakuru near Vijayawada). The words used by him were country-type many times during his informal talks, they added.

So, NTR is the best example for the people who change modulation of speech on and off the dais. But ANR is almost same on and off the dais. He maintains a standard tempo in speech, say some seniors.

Kalavachaspati Jaggayya and NTR Were Opposite Words

'Jaggayya' and 'NTR' are termed as opposite words in the industry when they were alive.

NTR was known for punctuality and there was none to beat him. But Jaggayya never entered the sets before 11:30 AM. He always used to sleep when NTR used to wake up, that's at 3 AM. So Jaggayya's wake up time was always after 10 AM.

NTR used to come to sets by 7 AM with make up. He used to reach the make up man by 5:50 AM. So, if there is anyone to beat NTR in profession, it was only his make up man who used to sit ready for NTR! ANR was also as punctual as NTR but only the latter is made more popular in this aspect.

Nostalgia: NTR's Stage Drama As Lord Krishna

There was an impression among the people that film actors cannot act on stage on par with stage artistes and they shiver with fear as that's real time platform. But breaking that impression NTR made a big attempt in 1969 to help the flood victims. He played Sri Krishna Tulabharam drama in several places by portraying the role of Lord Krishna.

People used to stand and pray for him assuming real Krishna has come on to stage. In that drama Kantha Rao played Narada while Savitri and Devika played Satyabhama and Rukmini respectively.

The drama got very good response and people understood that film stars are no less to drama artistes while acting on stage.

Dana Veera Sura Karna in Bay Area

CACinema Management invites all Telugu community in bayarea to paticipate in late NTR 85th Birthday celebrations at Park theater on 05/28/2007 between 2 to 3PM followed by Dana Veera Sura Karna Movie.

All telugu people knows Ex chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, Padma sri Dr. Nadamuri Taraka Ramarao as big icon who changed Andhra Pradesh state. We are very happy to announce his Birth celebrations in our theater followed by biggest Mythology movie ever made in Tollywood i.e. Dana Veera Sura Karna.

All film goers knows about great movie Dana Veera Sura Karna. NTR acting and dialogue delivery is big asset of the movie and here are few synopsis of movie why you should consider watching this biggest Mythology ever made in Telugu. This is first longest movie ever made in telugu.

1. Interpretation of popular mythology, that runs contrary to the popular opinion, is always a tabboo in any culture. A society that is founded upon certain principles, which in turn are shaped by the lores and legends of the land, finds it unacceptable to question its own foundations and its own philosophies.
2.The genius of NTR, as far as "karNa" is concerned, is neither his impeccable dialogue delivery, nor the subtle variations he displays in all the 3 characters he took on - Suyodhana, Karna, and Krishna, but his initial brainwave of making Suyodhana the focal point and viewing the rest of the story from entirely his point of view. In the lead up to "karNa", NTR briefly dabbled in projecting the other side of Suyodhana in "Sri Krishna Pandaveeyam", but reigned a lot back to make it more mainstream - traditional and conventional. In "karNa", he unleashes whatever he held back, in regard to the views, positions and choices, and drives the entire movie around Duryodhana.
3.Consider the classic scene of "maaya joodam". Yudhishtira has just bet and lost everything, including his brothers and wife, as Suyodhana proudly gets up and orders the court-keeper to drag Draupadi into the court, when suddenly all the wise talking heads raise objections to his action.
4. This movie was NTR’s 248th movie as an actor.
5. He got the idea of making such an epic when he was acting as Lord Krishna in Shivagi Ganeshan’s “Karna”.
6. The movie was of 4 hours 7 minutes duration and also with 25 reels.
7. It had 10 songs and 35 poems in it.
8. He did triple roles(tripatraabhinayam) as Lord Krishna, Dhuryodhana and Karna along with direction and production.
9. NTR first requested Akkineni Nageswararao (ANR) to act as Lord Krishna for which the hero rejected. NTR then asked him to do the role of Karna.
10. The dialogues like ‘datha and hithuda’ became so famous that the youth at that time started using them.
11. Also NTR’s dialogues in karna entry scene, mayasabha scene and post mayasabha scene are used by amatuer artists for ‘ekapatrabhinayam’ shows till day to prove their talents.
12. The song ‘chitram bhalare vichitram’was the first duet ever made between Dhuryodhana (NTR) and Bhanumathi (Prabha) in pouranikam movies.
