Purely Joyful Movie!

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The movie of a life time.every citizen of their own place where they live,must watch.u can never get bored of the movie.u'l learn so much.mainly from the lead role of the "MEGASTAR",serving his people by not being a leader ,comes from a background related to music.he feels like serving his people helping his people and teach them,the way one must "live".The moral of the movie is,one can serve the people,being one among them,not only by becoming big leaders.The movie itself is not a big hit,but it won many awards among the big one.Not only the movie,the songs in the movie are also the most brilliant and wonderful songs.And one of the song named as "nenu sitam" has a lots of meaning in it,and some pleasant songs which will be remembered for many many many and many more years for decades.truly,the film "RUDRA VEENA" is one of the all time favorites of all the telugu people and also by many film critics around the world.ALL I CAN TELL IS IT WAS ONE THE MOST BRILLIANT MOVIE EVER DONE,AND WILL NEVER BE DONE AGAIN IN THE MERE FUTURE.

Chiranjeevi's performance in movie is amazing. He proved that he can be better, than so-called art film actors. And great direction of Mr.Balchandra will make sit steady till the end of the movie. Taking out those emotions in village background people is a very tough thing to do but Mr.Balachanda managed so well and characterization is perfect that audience will forget the actor who playing the particular role. Great music composition from the maestro Ilayaraja makes the movie so beautiful and comfortable to watch.Coming to music , Illyaraja has done a brilliant job , specially Lalitha priya kamalam song was appreciated by lots of music Gurus. What can somebody say about great sitharama sastry ? he has done exceptionally well , his lyrics were so simple so that any leiman can understand at the same time they are so complex from message point of view. Well , one should appreciate the effort by Nagababu for producing an off-beat movie irrespective of Chiranjeevi's image.Overall , I could say that Rudraveena is one of the legendary movies ever made on Indian cinema.

This should definitely go down as one of the greatest movies in the 1980's. Music, moral, and will power is all what this movie is about. Chiranjeevi was superb, playing the typical classical musician/societal role to perfection. The rest played their characters well.This film won 4-5 National awards! and many other film fare/Nandi awards. Film wasn't a huge hit because of the time it was released but will be remembered always!Bilhari, Tarali Rada and many more songs are worth listening. Lot of moral, lot of theme in them. The movie is smooth, the story is very plain and simple.

An award winning movie from chiru's home production, Rudraveena deals with the story of a young man, suryam(chiru), who opposes his own father bilahari sastry(gemini ganesan) for a social cause. Suryam is the second son of famous vocalist bilahari sastry, who believes that music is for the welfare of the society. He opposes his father's views when his father stops him from helping a dying electrician. After that electrician's death suryam decides to leave the house and work for the welfare of the society. Lalita(sobhana), who belongs to a scheduled caste, supports him in his endeavors. Unable to bear the fact that his son is getting married to a lower caste girl, bilahari sastry succeeds in provoking the villagers against suryam and stops his marriage. Suryam owes not to marry till he solves their problems and how he succeeds to stop their alcoholic habits and reforms their lives forms the rest of the story. Bilahari sastry even goes to the extent of naming his son-in-law as his successor in music, rather than his son, but when Indian government recognizes suryam's efforts and president of India arrives in his village to felicitate suryam, he realizes his son's worth.Brilliant performances by chiru, sobhana, gemini ganesan, extraordinary music by Illayaraja , great direction by K balachander made this movie win Nargis Dutt award for Best Feature Film on National Integration.
