is proudly announcing a series of articles on the evolution
of Telugu movie theatres from 1921 to the current date. Mr.
Vijaya Bhaskar, an ardent fan of Telugu movies, provides
the content in these articles. We have chosen this time period,
as we believe this is a highly significant period in the history
of Telugu cinema. It was the period that saw the rising of
the first generation stars like NTR, ANR etc. Each article
will cover a theatre and the successful movies run information
and box office fate at those theatres.
Reminiscence
of Sreerama Talkies @ Vijayawada
Sri
Rama is one of the oldest theatres located in Vijayawada.
For most part of time, Purna distribution films were released
in this theater. Even films through Rajashree films (East
India) were released in this theater.
Sreerama
Theatre is lucky mascot for NTR where 11 of his movies
ran for 100 days along with 13 of NTR films ran for 50 days.
Below
is the list of all 100 days, and 50 days movies of top heroes
that were exhibited in Sri Rama Theatre.
