1): Geetanjali

Director: ManiRatnam
Producer: CL Narasa Reddy
Year of the Release: 1989
Box-Office Result: Sensational Hit
Only few Heros have guts to experiment. Nag, is one such hero in Tollywood. Whatever reasons known to him, he handpicked ManiRatnam to direct a venture in Telugu that was never done before by Mani. Only few Heros could dare to accept the subject and climax of this film. But Nagarjuna had a vast belief in Mani’s directorial capabilities, hence didn’t show any hesitation to keep him away from the project. He seemed to have felt that it was Mani’s narration and presentation style that would do the magic. He was proved right end of the day. Ilayaraja’s midas touch worked wonders for the film’s marathon run at the box-office. Especially, his background score was astonishing and make you gel well with the screen play. PC sriram’s classic work added special attraction. Though this film was commercialized, content was something unusual for the common audience to digest. As it was expected, this film didn’t do much business in rural areas, where as in cities, it written off all the other films were released same time. It went onto become one of the biggest grocers of 1989. It won the national award for its popularity in Region films category. Unfortunately, Nag didn’t get a chance to work with Mani again. One can hope that if this two join hands again, it will surely be a feast.
(2): Shiva

Only few films have a bigger impact on all crafts of a movie. ‘Shiva’ is one such film, can be termed as the ‘next generation’ movie in early 90’s. There is no dispute on saying that it has rehabilitated the age old rules of making a commercial film. Whether it is visuals, audio, shot making, no matter what, this film absolutely has some brilliant work gone into it. It has set a new path in film making and that impact is still presence. This wouldn’t be possible if Nag and Ramu hadn’t come to a common understanding while making this film. Nagarjuna should be appreciated any day for taking such a bold step of being directed by a unknown face who never seen front side of a camera from a closer distance. Also for the way the film was shot. If he had any reservations on the presentation style, Shiva wouldn’t have helped industry much in bringing new flavor. Though it is RGV’s movie for his brilliant work, Nagarjuna’s presence as Shiva won many hearts, especially the college youth. With this film’s ever best run, Nagarjuna has become the most salable star that time. The mark of Shiva didn’t leave him for a while and he continued with many flops after that. But, Shiva has broken all the records and set so many new records. In vizag city, Jagadaamba theatre, it has run for 155 days, where 122 days are full (with 3 shows) that is a unique record that time. With back to back sensation hits, Geetanjali and Shiva, in 1989, Nagarjuna reached utmost levels in his career. Ilayaraja’s terrific score, SGopal reddy’s photography, Deepan chatargee’s audiogrpahy, Tanikella’s dialogues, Raghuvaran’s antics made the film more polishing and worth watching |
