‘Dana Veera Sura Karna’ had great response in US

‘Dana Veera Sura Karna’ directed and produced by the late NT Rama Rao saw great response even after three decades, when it was released in San Joes.

One of the best classics of Telugu cinema ‘Dana Veera Sura Karna’ directed and produced by the late NT Rama Rao besides playing three different characters such as Krishna, Duryodhana and the title role Karna had earned a great name that it is a never before and never after film on Telugu screen.

The film was released in San Jose (Los Angeles) in California on May 28.

The film had a great response even after three decades. Despite some technical lapses, the film is most welcome by the Telugus, not only in India but everywhere in the world.

The main reason behind this is the great personification of Duryodhana character and the performance of the thespian in all the three roles as an artiste, and his directorial abilities as a director and production values as a producer.

The film is now being released by Sampat Pathuri and Ramakrishna Nrisimhadri on the banner of NRI Films (Detroit) in the US. At the same time, the film is being released in California under the leadership of Jayaram Komati, president of TANA.

Sampath and Ramakrishna say, ‘We had purchased the rights to release the film in the US for Rs 5 lakhs. For the first time in the history of Telugu cinema, an old film is being released in foreign theatres again. Likewise, Dana Veera Sura Karna created a record by getting released again after three decades of its release. Already the DVD was released in the US. Despite that the film is being screened successfully on American Screen.’

It is quite surprising that the VCDs of our top heroes and their super hit films were being sold at Rs 75. However, the price of this film, which was released three decades ago, is being sold at Rs 125, which proves the greatness and speciality of this mythological movie.
