35 years of April 1 Vidudala
Vamsy's last great movie IMO.
The story of Diwakaram( Rajendraprasad) a smooth talking operator who gets around by cheating, lying.
Falls in love with Bhuvaneswari( Shobhana) who is his exact opposite. She puts a condition that to prove his love for her, he has to speak only the truth nothing else for a month.
The first half of the movie is an absolute laugh riot, especially scenes where Diwakaram cons the railway colony resident. The last 10-15 minutes gets serious, but then Vamsy's movies are like that mostly.
While Rajendra Prasad is brilliant as usual, it's the supporting cast of characters who really elevates of whom Mallikarjuna Rao is the best as the guy with a roving eye.
Shobana as the no nonsense, principled Bhuvaneswari lends dignity to her part.
Pradeep Sakthi who usually plays villian roles gets a completely different role here and does well. .
Krishna Bhagvan whom we are more familiar with in comedy roles, does a completely serious role here.
Ilayaraja once again comes up with a superb soundtrack- "Chukkalu Temmana", "Vompula Vaikhiri", "Okate Aasa", "Nijamante" the album is popular to date. Not to mention some superb lyrics by Sirivennela Gaaru.
Vamsy and Rajendra Prasad were one great combo. This one, Preminchu Pelladu, Ladies Tailor, Chettukinda Pleader all great movies can watch anytime.
