Aa Naluguru

I am writing this review several years after the movie release. I would have watched this more than 50 times. In between I watched several good Telugu movies, still Aa Naluguru has best place in my heart. I can proudly say, It's one of the movies which made a big impact in my life. Go for it..

This is a Telugu language film starring Rajendra Prasad.

A movie that must be in the bucket list of every person. A movie like this is a compass. It makes you introspect if you are living life the way it should be. Are you also caught in my worldly trappings. Or is morality still having a firm hold on you.

While the direction is amateurish especially in the first half, it's much better in the second half. It's a good exposure to the supporting cast who are otherwise quite green to have been part of an eternal film as this.

The movie has so many eye openers. Notice how while the eldest sibling had clearly lost his way, the youngest still has his conscience pricking hard.

Notice how even those who are obsessed with money, realise that morality and selflessness is what matters more in life. Most in the world know what's right and wrong but simply follow the herd nonetheless. They just need a leader and guide as an anchor like the protagonist in this film.

And if still nothing works on you, the stark reminder that you will be answerable after death.

You will be at peace only upon a life lived well.

You will be remembered only upon a life lived well.

You will be valued and your life lessons learnt onli upon a life lived well!

Aa Naluguru is a thought-provoking and emotionally-charged film that leaves a lasting impact on its viewers. Directed by Chandra Siddhartha, this Telugu-language drama delves deep into the complexities of relationships and societal pressures. The film revolves around the life of a middle-aged man named Raghuram, played brilliantly by Rajendra Prasad. As Raghuram finds himself grappling with the monotony of his daily routine, he embarks on a soul-searching journey to reconnect with his family and the essence of life itself.

One of the standout aspects of Aa Naluguru is its exceptional and good.

Rajendra Prasad sir is simply outstanding in the film as the lead actor. Kota Srinivasa Rao sir is also superb in the film.

This film will surely make everyone cry.

Finally, An Outstanding film.

Aa Naluguru (2004) : Brief Review -

If Tamil Cinema has Anbe Sivam then Telugu Cinema has Aa Nalguru.. factually even better. One of the Greatest Life-lesson any Human Drama could ever teach you. Aa Naluguru has got nothing to do with Tamil Masterpiece Anbe Sivam but here i mentioned it because i feel that these two films have given the best life-lessons to mankind. Anbe Sivam taught us that, 'Love Is God' but that film had some factual issues with the context such as Love Story and Sacrifice attached to the screenplay. Don't get me wrong, i am not degrading it. I am just trying to explain how these two films are different while dealing the main course of the context. Anbe Sivam is long because it takes time to establish characters, their events and lives with some entertaining elements like romance, friendship, action etc. But Aa Naluguru strikes right on the point from the first scene. It's a story of a man who fights for his philosophy that spreading love and human relations are more important than money. This happens with that afterlife formula, the same what Hollywood invented in 40s decade but failed to give a life-long message and rather kept it limited upto watchable rom-com. Aa Naluguru is a film that teaches you the biggest lessons of life which can turn you into a real human or to some extent a God within a Human. This character Raghuram that Rajendra Prasad plays will remain in your memory forever as the best on screen TEACHER ever. How emotionally this films explores the life lessons is surely not a thing made for weak-hearted guys. If you have a heart at right place and if your brain is working perfectly then this film with melt your heart and educate your brain and these two big changes in you will happen at the same time. Just keep a box of tissues ready before watching this film. In one word, MASTERPIECE! That One Modern film which you MUST see and then force others to see it.

RATING - 9/10*
