Daana Veera Soora Karna 1977

Daana Veera Soora Karna movie is drama based movie, many movies were based on Mahabharata in Telugu, but the difference between all those films and this one is the characterization of Duryodhana. While making the Sree Krishna Pandaveeyam itself, N.T.R projected Duryodhana as 'Suyodhana' with a positive touch to the role. In this film, he projected Duryodhana as a well-educated person who knew dharma and other things much better than anyone. Some people even say that the title of the movie could actually have been maanadhana veera suyodhana - such is the importance and characterization of Suyodhana in this movie. The film was completed in 43 working days which was record, given that each of the three characters of NTR took at least three hours to put the makeup and two hours to remove it. NTR never used to see the rushes before the release, and thus they edited the film within days, without seeing the rushes.
