    One woman show

    It is not an exaggeration if said a multi-talented personality who was a genius in every aspect of film making such as Dr.Bhanumathi has never been born in world cinema. In action, she was famous for ferocious and comic roles as much as she was for sentiment. Her songs (both sung and composed) put us to bed as much as they woke the gods up in mornings. She directed and produced the movies with an incentive of teaching the society the values besides providing a wholesome entertainment. Her stories carried a natural yet spontaneous humour that engaged us throughout while making us laugh at times. This movie adds to the collection of pearls in her marvelous magnum opus. In this movie one can see Dr.Bhanumathi's one woman show in story, screenplay, direction, music, singing and action. Eventhough she composed songs with along Satyam garu, her sole compositions, ''Sa ri ga ma pa'', ''Nene raadhanoyi'', ''Neevera naa madilo'' are still heard on occations along with ''Navvave naa cheli''. From the first frame, despite accompanied with other performers such as Padmanabham, Naagabhooshanam, Sooryakantha, Chaayadevi, Krishna, it is Bhanumathi garu becomes the focal point of our attention, stealing the entire show with her spontanity in humour and intensity in drama. For this movie, Bhanumathi garu chose a simple storyline but was successful in engaging the audience with her gripping screenplay and direction. At times one can see brief parallel plots that were smoothly combined to the main streams such as naagabhooshanam realizing Seeta staying with his son along with an entire climax sequence, were told excellenly by Bhanumathi garu without creating any sort of confusion and distortion in the main plot. I have personally watched this movie numerous times and every time I enjoyed the same way I enjoyed it as much as (if not more) the first time I watched it.
