Movie Review: Maya Bazar (Telugu movie)

Kishore C.S. (May 2003)

 

Rating: 5 Star (5 being best)

Maya Bazaar is a super hit old movie that entertains one and all. I have watched this movie many times and will watch as many times as possible in future too.
 
A movie that has a very nice story woven around characters in epic Mahabharata. This movie has all the ingredients of a superhit movie.
 
- S.V. Ranga Rao excels in his role of Ghatokhacha.
- Movie songs are very meaningful and entertaining. Vivahabhojanambu is all time hit and every marriage function will have this song played.
- Most of the songs became movie titles in recent years
 
Story:
 
We don't know whether this was part of Mahabharata or not. But this fits well into the main story.
 
Balarama's daughter Sasirekha and Arjuna's son Abhimanyu are considered to be made for each other from childhood. When it is time for marriage, Pandavas loose their kingdom. When Balarama goes to question Kauravas they please him and trick him to agree for marriage of his daughter with Duryodhana's son. This upsets Abhimanyu and Subhadra. They leave Dwaraka and reach Ghatoktacha's place. Ghatoktacha goes to Dwaraka and as per Sri Krishna guidance, takes the bride's place. For the marriage, a new city is built from Magic which is named as Maya Bazaar. Finally the marriage is foiled and Balarama realizes the trick played on him.

 

 
Actors: N.T. Rama Rao, ANR, Savitri, S.V.Ranga Rao, Gummadi, Relangi and others
