My friend Sai Karthik's tribute to Veturi 

For those who have difficulty with the Telugu font can read the article in English font followed by this..

"పొయినోళ్ళు అందరు మంచోళ్ళు, ఉన్నోళ్ళు పొయినోళ్ళ తీపిగురుతులు" ఒకానొక సంధర్భం లొ వేటూరి అన్న మాట, ఎందుకో గుర్తు వచ్చింది. ఆయన గురుంచి చెప్పడానికి నా వయసు, భాషా ప్రావీన్యం, అనుభవం ఏ మూలకు అక్కరకు వస్తాయో తెలియదు కాని, నా మనసులో మాత్రం, భావాలు బయట పడాలని అత్రుతతో ఉన్నాయి.

నేను, ఒక చిన్న సామాన్య భావ కవిని. నాకు స్ఫూర్తి, ఆరాధ్య మూర్తి వేటూరి అని చెప్పడానికి సంకోచించను. ఫ్రతి మనిషికి కొన్ని ఆలోచనలు ఉంటాయి, అవి పద రూపం దాల్చదానికి చెసే ప్రయత్నం కవిత, దాని వానిజ్య రూపం పాట. వేటూరి గరు, ఏ సంధర్భాని నైనా, వర్నించ గల సమర్ధులు. అందుకే సినీ సామ్రాజ్యం లో, మకుటం లెని మహారజు గా వెలుగొందాడు ఆయన.

ఓక పాత్రికేయుడి గా, మొదలైన ఆయన ప్రస్థానం, ప్రజల గుండెల్లొ గూడు కట్టుకునే వరకు సాగింది.ఆయన పాటకి, ప్రజలు బ్రమ్హ రథం పట్టారు. తెలుగు చిత్ర సీమ లో నాయకులు దేవుళ్ళు గా భాసిల్లుతున్న రోజుల్లో కుడా, ఓ పాటల రచయిత, ఇంత ఆదరాభిమానాలు పొందటం, బహుసా, "మనసు కవి " ఆత్రేయ గారి తరువాత, వేటూరి గారేనేమో.

ఓకానొక సంధర్బాన ఆత్రెయ గారు,"ఎడా పెడా రాసేస్తున్నావట, చాలా వేగంగా కూడా రాస్తున్నావట" అని అన్నారు," మీ అంత గొప్ప గా రాయలెనప్పుడు వేగంగా అన్నా రాయాలి కదా గురువుగారు" అని అన్నారట.ఆదే సమయస్ఫుర్తి, ఆయన పాటల్లూ కూడా కనిపిస్తుంది.

ఓక పాటా, రెండు పాటలా, మొత్తం పదివేల పాటలకు ప్రాణం పోయడం, ఏ కవిపుంగవునికీ సాధ్యం ఐంది. ఒక్కో సన్నివేశం, ఒక్కో ధోరని గా ఉండే తెలుగు పాటలు రాయడానికి వివిధ కవులు ఉన్న ఈ కాలం లొ అలా అన్ని సంధర్భాలకు పాటలు రాయగల వేటూరి ఒక్కరే ఉండడం మనకి గర్వ కారణం. శ్రుంగార రసం, రౌద్రం, కరున, భక్తి ఒకాటా అన్ని రసాల మేలవింపు ఆయన కలం నుంచి జాలు వారయి. రాసిన అన్ని పాటల్లూ దాదాపు, ప్రజల గుండెల్లూ నిలిచి పొయెవి రాసారు.

"సీతారామయ్య మనవరాలు" చిత్రం తరువాత, నా పాటల్లో నేనే తెలుగు వెతుక్కో వలసి వచ్చింది అని వేటూరి భాదపడ్డారు. "ధనార్జన మొదలైనా తరువత పాటకు విలువ పడిపోయింది" అని వేదన చెందారు.ఆయన పాత తరనికి కొత్త తరానికి, వారధి అన్నా, మూడు తరాల ప్రతినిధి అని అన్నా, రెండు నిజాలే. ఎన్.టి.ఆర్ నుంది ఎన్.టి.ఆర్ వరకు, క్రిష్న నుండి మహేష్ బాబు వరకు, ఎ.ఎన్.ఆర్ నుంచి సుమంత్ వరకు, చిరంజీవి నుంచి అల్లు అర్జున్ వరకు ఆయన పాతలకు అందరూ నర్తించిన వరె.

అచ్చ తేట తెలుగు కి, తేనెలద్ది చెవుళ్ళో మధురామ్రుతాలు నింపి, ఆయన మాత్రం సుదూర తీరాల కి సాగిపోయారు.  బహుసా, తెలుగు తల్లి తన వడికి చేర్చు కోని జోల పాటా రాయించుకుంటోందేమో. ఆయన ప్రతిభ సామాన్యమైనదా, ఎవరినైనా మెప్పించగలరు. 

గుడి లో దేవుడు ఎక్కడ ఉన్నా గుళ్ళో ఉన్నట్టే, గుండె గుడి లో వేటూరి అంతే.

పైన పొందు పరిచిన అభిప్రాయాలు కేవలం నావే, ఎవరినైనా నొప్పించి ఉంటే క్షమార్హుడుని.ధన్యవాదాలు
----మీ కార్తీక్.

A Legend called VETURI

  • 6
"Veturi is the Gulzar of Telugu Cinema.” The previous comment was from my friend who had just listened to the songs of K. Viswanath’s ‘Saagara Sangamam’. The comment had thrown me into opprobrium, I completely objected to his comparison because Veturi is not Gulzar… Veturi is Veturi. Gulzar fits into a different zone of lyricists and comparing Veturi to Gulzar is a sin…

In 1989 Mani Ratnam directed his only Telugu film “Geethanjali” which is one of the best love stories I have ever seen, Mani Ratnam who is not well versed in Telugu had to translate the lyrics written by Veturi Sundararama Murthy in Tamil and from that day Veturi has been Mani Ratnam’s favorite lyricist. Apart from the numerous awards that ‘Geethanjali’ received it is a path breaking film for Telugu Cinema (at least for me…). Probably this is the only Indian film where we find a 2 minute smooch, how did this song pass the censor board without a cut?…The song is beautifully directed and apart from that it’s the lyrics of veturi which did the magic.

om namaha nayana shruthulaku
om namaha hrudaya layalaku om
om namaha adhara jathulaku
om namaha madhura smruthulaku om


The above lines are a perfect example for his classical insight; he mixes the sacred mantra ‘Aum Namah Shivaya’ with the romantic feelings ‘nayana shruthulaku’ which means ‘Speech of the eyes, ‘hrudaya layalaku’ which means ‘Heart Beats’, ‘adhara jathulaku’ which means ‘ Pair of Lips’ and ‘madhura smruthulaku’ which means ‘beautiful thoughts’

And by the way if you don’t know what is om namaha then here is the Wikipedia definition “Namaḥ Śivaya has such power, the mere intonation of these syllables reaps its own reward in salvaging the soul from bondage of the treacherous instinctive mind and the steel bands of a perfected externalized intellect. Namaḥ Śivāya quells the instinct, cuts through the steel bands and turns this intellect within and on itself, to face itself and see its ignorance. Sages declare that mantra is life, that mantra is action, that mantra is love and that the repetition of mantra, japa, bursts forth wisdom from within.”

You can find the rest the lyrics on internet and get them translated to know the beauty of the entire song.

Veturi used simple words and converted them into beautiful expressions to show lust and love between characters. The song ‘Mounamelanoyi’ from ‘Saagara Sangamam’ where he uses…

palike pedavi vonikindi enduko
(Why the lip which talks is shivering?)

vonike pedavi venakaala emito
(What’s behind those shivering lips?)

…………..

ivi edadugulaa valapu madugulaa
(Are these the sacred seven steps or the intimacy of Love?)

kanne eedu vulukulu kantipaapa kaburulu
(..the disturbances and conversations in the young unmarried girl.. )

……………………………

Veturi Sundararama Murthy always repeated that ‘Thakita Thadimi’ & ‘Nadha Vinodham’ from ‘Saagara Sangamam’ as his favorite songs.Those were the days when ‘National Awards’ had respect, I hear many people saying that anyone who have seen the film ‘Maathrudevobhava’ will have tears in their eyes,so is the case with his national award winning song Raalipoye puvva neeku ragaalenduke’

Raalipoye puvva neeku raagalendukey
totamaali nee todu leduley
vaalipoye podda neeku varnalendukey
lokamennado cheekataayele..
neekidi telavaarani reyamma..
kaliki maa chilaka paadaku ninnati nee raagaam



Apart from his romantic style of lyrics he induced passion and rebel in the lyrics. The song ‘Jagada Jagada Jagadam’ from Geethanjali ignites passions .He uses the words very intelligently in the fast paced songs.

…………………………………..
Marala… marala… jananam
Raaneeraa marala… marala maranam
Mingestaam bhughala bhagala garalam
Maa pilupe damarukham
Maa oopiri nippula uppena
Maa oohalu kattula vanthena
Maa debbaku dhikkulu pikkatillipoye…
Ram… pam pam… pam…”

‘Induvadana’ in Challenge
induvadana, kundaradana, mandagamana, madhuravachana, sogasulalana



No one can beat him in the mystique lyrics, he uses various references for single word, and sometimes the lyrics look enigmatic creating a lot of intrigue into the listener.

“Ramachakani Sita” Godavari

I am unable to figure out the exact meaning of the lyrics ….this is what I could understand.I added '?' where i felt ambiguity.

neela gaganaa ghanavichalanaa dharaNijaa Sree ramaNa
(Blue Sky….?????????? ……. The one who rules the earth? ..Lord Rama)

madhura vadanaa naLina nayanaa manavi vinaraa raamaa
(Body as sweet as honey…Eyes as Lotus? … listen to my request my dear Lord Rama)

raama chakkani seetaki aracheta gorinta
(The beautiful Seeta is for Rama.. Gorintaku on Sita’s Palm)

inta chakkani chukkaki inkevaru mogudanta
(For this beautiful star (referring Sita), who is Sita’s Husband..)

raama chakkani seetaki

udata veepuna velu vidichina pudami alludu raamudE
(The one who left his finger prints on squirrel’s back. Son-in-law of Janaka??)

edama chetanu Sivuni villunu ettinaa raamude
(Lifted Lord Shiva’s bow with his left hand is Lord Rama)

ettagalaDaa seeta jadanu taali katte velalo
(Can he lift Sita’s jada (plait) while tying the mangalasutram (taali)…)

raama chakkani seetaki

………………………………………………..
………………………………………………


This evergreen song ‘Maate Mantramu’ from Seethakoka Chiluka

Maate mantramu manase bandhamu..
Ee mamathe ee samathe mangala vaadyamu..
Idhi kalyaanam kamaneeyam jeevitham..
Neeve naalo spandhinchina..
Ee priya layalo sruthi kalise praanamidhe..
Nene neevuga puvvu thaaviga..
Samyogaala sangeethaalu virise velalo..



After K.Vishwanath probably its Sekhar Kammula who has shown the best of Veturi.One of his last songs in the film ‘Leader’
“Yae Sakuni adani judam brathukemo chadarangam, edi adani ravnakashtam, chitilone simantam”
 I was never interested in Telugu Literature, because I have seen it as an extra subject in my school and always made fun of the language but everything changed when I started to listen to the songs of Veturi, I started my own small research on telugu literature and started reading books on telugu literature. In one sentence Veturi Sundararama Murthy made me realize that “Desha bhashalandu telugu lessa”.May his soul rest in peace.

The Poster

  • 0

Roughly its been around 5 years, i was waiting for the bus at the Narayanaguda Bus Stop.Five years back almost every evening (except Sunday) i used to wait to catch a bus and somehow try to enter into the overcrowded buses.After a long gap i am waiting at the Narayaguda Bus Stop,it was nostalgic even though i never enjoyed my Intermediate Life.

I am waiting at the bus stop,taking few to and fro steps,then i turn back and find a film poster of "Adavi Manushulu Andala Kanyalu" literal English translation gives (Forest people and beautiful women). I looked at the poster,turned away and was waiting for the bus...

It was 8:30 pm of the Friday evening and everyone is eagerly waiting to get back to their houses.I suddenly noticed a thing,every guy who is passing me was looking at the poster. Now my brain which doesn't have any useful work to do comes with a brilliant idea,i decided to count the number of people who look at the poster out of 10 people who pass me.I stood near the poster and took a pic (The one which you have seen ...). Out of the first 10 people 8 of them look at the poster, remaining two were a 70 year old man and a 10+ kid.Second round of counting leads to this result,10 out of 10 people look at the poster and in the third round of counting 9 people look at the poster.

You might be wondering what the heck? shouldn't people look at the poster? .... Its obvious that everyone's eyes will get attracted to this poster for whatever reasons.. Actually i was observing people who are looking at it with a different angle and the reactions of some people ...

  • Three construction workers stare at this poster for 10 minutes and decided to go the second show and they weren't shy to look at the poster and were making some comments which i would skip here...
  • A 25+ yrs guy comes and looks at the poster and turns away, he looks at me and then he turns to his right to wait for the bus.. after 2 minutes he turns back and looks at the poster,he turns away and is waiting for the bus... again he turns back .... this continued for 4 times.
  • A man who is around 45 comes to the bus stop and looks at the poster, he is angry, he talks to himself, i can sense his frustration.
  • Another man who is around 45 looks at the poster and abruptly says to me "This is how youth are spoiled, why do they stick such posters in public places?"
  • A group of intermediate guys came to the bus stop and looked at it, each of them was trying to look at the poster without the knowledge of the other, this continued for 5 minutes.
  • A family came to bus the bus stop,the husband looked at the poster and then turned his eyes away from it,even his wife accidentally looked at the poster and his kid who was around 10 years was looking at the poster and was trying to tear the poster,his father call his son and demands "Don't move,stay here". Now the kid asks his mother "What is the name written on the poster?" .. his mother asks him to shut up his mouth ...
  • A boy and a girl who are around 25yrs came to the stop, the guy looks at the poster and after a second he turns his eyes away, the guy wants to look at the poster but he is not free as he is thinking of his girl friend (presumably), he somehow looks at the poster for 3 times with great difficulty without the knowledge of his girl friend.
  • Two guys who look like local young gunda's came to the bus stop and started talking about the film poster.One guy compared it with the previous films which he has seen and spelled some obnoxious statements, the second guy takes it as a prestige issue and talks much more about the other films and the discussion between them leads to the heroines of Tollywood.
  • There is a footpath tailor near the bus stop, he talks about the people who look at the posters attached on the bus stop walls with his friend, he curses everyone who stops and looks at the poster, "Saley sab log yeha kade rehte hain..aur postera ko dekthe hain..."

The whole 40 minutes was some sought of psychoanalysis and character reading , on how people of different ages think of a particular thing.Actually it was some fun and good information for me.By the way i did miss many buses for my silly research.

--Everyone who read this post will be dying to ask "Why did you look at the poster? etc.. etc.."

--I accidentally looked at the poster, i felt that the woman in the poster was 'Angelina Jolie', so i looked at the poster for the second time and confirmed myself that it wasn't Angelina Jolie, again looked at the poster to find the name of the film and at last found the name "Adavi Manushulu Andala Kanyalu"

Ye Maaya Chesave : Feel the Magic

  • 1
“Kottadanam” is a misinterpreted word in the Telugu Film Industry. Industry refers it in terms of Graphics, VFX, Budget, Foreign Locations etc. We have to bear the crap which consists of Item songs, so called powerful dialogues, superman stunts in the name of “Kottadanam” Integrity is the rare tool and weapon which a film director can possess. Adjusted screenplays, compromised viewpoints, stereotype dialogues are some of the default things which a director should be ready to sacrifice. Few years’ back a film called ‘Anand’ was released which was fresh, honest and true to its characters, after a gap of 5 years we find the film “Ye Maya Chesave” which is true to its characters and honest with its treatment.


After the wonderful display of titles the film starts with the guitar note and a church scene where the Voice Over of the protagonist says “Prapamchamlo ento mandi ammyilu unna.. nenu Jessi ne enduku preminchanu?” and gives us some information about Jessie “beautiful, classy, educated, sexy etc.. ”. The film is narrated with the hero’s point of view, we are provided with the basic bio-data of the hero Karthik (played by Naga Chaitanya).Karthik completed his Mechanical engineering and wants to be a filmmaker, he has posters of Robert De Niro (Raging Bull), Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino and Pulp Fiction in his room. Karthik’s character is clear cut, even though he is a Hindu Naidu he wants to marry Jessie who is a Malayali Christian and 2 years elder to him.

Jessie is a Malayali Chrsitian and does not watch films as it is considered to be a sin. The character of Jessie looks enigmatic but that’s how girls are at least when it comes to the issue of LOVE, she loves Karhik, she is intimate with him, she does not touch him when she is sits on his bike, allows him to kiss, she punishes herself, she says “I enjoy the pain” and she is a ‘gutsy women’.

Its tough to make a film which has a romantic angle and most of the script is filled with perceptions, convictions, and conversations of the two lead actors. Gowtham Menon comes with a script which is pure without any compromises.The screenplay is clever, authentic, and sometimes tests the patience of the viewer. The heart of “Ye Maya Chesave” is its intelligent dialogues, sporadic conversations and the uninterrupted fluid direction. Gautham Menon is one of the few directors who make the best use of camera with the tracking and Zoom Shots. Observe the scene in which Jessie expresses her love to Karthik in the corridor, the camera zooms in slowly and then Gowtham Menon establishes the magical chemistry between Karthik and Jessie, the camera slowly zooms out and in the mean time our clairvoyance is tested for a few seconds. The next scene breaks into the song “Vintunnava” which is shot with the glossiness of the wedding lights and the extravagant full moon. This is one of the best scenes I have seen in the recent times.

Gautham Menon uses extreme close-up shots which create a profound impact on the screen, they make us comprehend and contemplate the characters. Presumably a Steadicam is used to shoot the scene where Jessie decides to break up with Karthik, the shaky work, abruptly moving camera and the conversation makes it a very wonderful scene. The best fusion of Cinematography and editing can be found in the fight scene, its one of the best composed scenes added with the digital sounds. The streets, the house, the terrace give the microscopic feel.

The ‘F’ word is making its way into Telugu films. The ‘F’ word is overlapped with the “beep” sound. Karthik uses the ‘F’ word with freedom “What the F*****g logic is this Jessie” etc. Umarji Anuradha deserves a mention for the dialogues; they act as fuel to the film. Karhik talks about ages … 22-24, 70-72, 50-52 and he expresses his innermost feelings to Jessie “I wanna make love to you Jessie” … how often do you hear this in Telugu films?. “It was like a one way ticket to heart break city. She showed me the middle finger and walked out of my life” and many more beautiful conversations and altercations.

I somehow feel honored that engineering graduate writes such wonderful lyrics. Anantha Sriram brings the perfume of freshness into the film with his lyrics.

"Swaasey Swaramai
Saradaley Panche
Sarigamavai
Ventaney Raa Velugai Raa
Nijamayye Kalavai Raa
Nadipinche Adugai Raa
Nanucheri Naatho Raa

Vayase Ninney Valachi
Vasanthamuna Kokilai
Thiyyanga Koosi
Ee Sisiram Lona
Mooga Boyi Nanney
Chusthundey Jalesi
Emo Emoolundo Chigurinchey Kshaname   "

And in Vintunnava

Palukulu nee pere taluchukunna..
Pedavula anchullo anuchukunna..
mounamutho nee madhinii bandhincha.. manninchu priyaa..

tarime varama.. tadime swarama..
idhigo ee janma needani antunna.. vintunnava.. vintunnava...vintunnava..
tarime varama.. tadime swarama..
idhigo ee janma needani antunna.. vintunnava.. vintunnava...vintunnava..vintunnava...vintunnava..

The long relationship between Gautham Menon and Harris Jayraj gets a break. It’s A.R.Rahman who composed the music for “Ye Maya Chesave”. ‘Aaromale’ is one of the best songs of A.R.Rahman (Am I exaggerating?) .Rahman shifts his tune beautifully for every scene. Rahman jumps into classical raga when the scene cuts into a Temple from a church. The tune of ‘Aaromale’ is repeatedly used in the background score, mixes the vernacular rap with the English rap beautifully.

The debutant Samantha makes an unforgettable impression on the audience, it would not be exaggerating if I say that it’s the best debut I have ever seen. I don’t know whether she is HOT or not, she is sexy or not, but I can definitely say that she has a voluptuous charm which will make the audience spellbound. She looks gorgeous in sarees, Churidars and we can’t ignore her acting skills.

It’s not easy to make a film like “Ye Maya Chesave”. A lot of effort and dedication is visible in the script. Scripts like these deserve Good production values. Feel the magic of “Ye Maya Chesave” and by the way - Jessie wore 15 beautiful sarees in 'Ye Maya Chesave'.
If you have time ... go through the lyrics of 'Aaromale'
