Hello all,
I happened to go to this movie “Mayabazar Color”. I think there would be hardly any person in Andhra Pradesh who did not watch this classical blockbuster movie. Even the black and white movie was an out and out entertainer and to make a movie with such special effects in 1957 itself is an achievement. I have seen that movie more than 30 times and when I heard about the movie being re-released as a color version, I was hoping it would not be a disaster like Sholay’s Remake (RGV ka AAG :-P).
But unlike AAG, the producer of this movie was sensible enough to understand that he cannot reproduce or remake a classical movie like Mayabazar. So, he banked on the originality of the script and the exceptional ensemble of talent that was in the movie. The movie does not need a review about the story, acting skills, screenplay or music. All these have been proved almost 5 decades ago but what needs to be mentioned about in this venture “Mayabazar Color” is the technical brilliance.
The color combination’s selected for all the actors is phenomenal and I have not seen the Sr. NTR or Savitri so beautiful ever on a color screen. I think they themselves would admit that they looked the best in this new color Mayabazar than in any of the color movies they acted in.
I would recommend everyone of you to go and watch the movie. In fact I would say, it would not be a bad idea to add sub-titles to the movie and release it other countries as well. This would attract a lot of Americans and they would be aw-struck by the ornaments and culture portrayed in the movie :-).
2 Thumbs up for this magnum opus movie and hearty congratulations to the makers of the movie. I would love to watch many other classical movies like this in color though it might not create the same impact.
NTR Senior more beautiful than ever.
Gorgeous Savitri
