The fascinating relationship between two social outcasts and how they build a life together, with even the physical act of love, is very unique and as Kamal himself said, ahead of even Hollywood releasing before Rain Man and Forrest Gump. The concept of a mentally challenged man marrying was in Ardhangi all the way back in 1955 but here Sivayya never gets cured, and the woman he marries is herself a widow with a child. What can I say about this except call it the greatest Telugu love story on celluloid. One of my favorite scenes in this film is the one where Chiranjeevi remembers his own humble origins as a cobbler while making slippers out of rage.Īnd Swati Muthyam.
Swayam Krushi was a movie that made me look at my favorite Megastar in a new light just as he entered politics. To someone who loved (and still loves) Chiranjeevi’s dancing, Kamal’s dancing came as a pleasant surprise and it was only later that I understood the greatness of this film, or more importantly why Balu lost the passion for his art that he was so clearly gifted at. The greatest Telugu director of his time, K Viswanath was also my first introduction to serious cinema through watching Sagara Sangamam on TV.
