tell a friend

The success meet of recently released film Nee Sneham was held at Terrace Garden, Green Park Hotel on Friday evening (8th November). Key technicians and actors attended the meet and celebrated the success with the press. Cast and crew members that attended the meet include MS Raju, Paruchuri Murali, RP Patnaik, Sirivennela Seetarama Sastry, S Gopal Reddy, DTS Madhusudhan Reddy, Paruchuri Brothers, Bhaskar (Suresh Movies Manager), K Viswanath, Uday Kiran and Arti Agarwal.

Paruchuri brothers started off the meet by saying that music has a maximum share in the success of Nee Sneham. They compared the combination of Sirivennela and RP Patnaik to that of KV Mahadevan and Athreya. They also commended MS Raju's judgment in selection of stories.

Sirivennela quoted the example of the relationship of a devotee with God. He mentioned that devotees pray to God because of two reasons. One is bhayam (fear) and other one is bhakti (devotion). 99 percent of the people who pray to God do so because of bhayam and only 1 percent of people pray because of bhakti. Sirivennela compared that bhakti to the passion and devotion that MS Raju has towards moviemaking. He also said that the filmmaker who concentrates more on getting quality product than dreaming about the outcome would be more successful. He attributed the success of Nee Sneham as a well deserved one.

RP Patnaik said that he is very happy, as everybody liked the music. He also revealed that MS Raju paid him double remuneration to what he promised after the release of Nee Sneham. RP quoted that almost all the music lovers liked Nee Sneham music and opined that if somebody did not like Nee Sneham music that person should pray to God to give him better music sense.

Uday Kiran said that people categorize movies into different genres like youth film, love story, action film, family story, mass film etc. He opined that Nee Sneham does not belong to any of these genres and it should be called as 'Life story'. He opined that the movie has lot of scope for histrionics. He had a special mention for cameraman S Gopal Reddy for elevating his looks in histrionics through his camera shot making.

Director Paruchuri Murali thanked MS Raju for providing him the opportunity to direct this film. He said that he went to various theaters in Hyderabad and Warangal to see the crowds response and opined that one particular dialogue got tremendous response (Uday to Sakuntala: Maa intinundi emainaa teesukuvellu. Kaani maa santoshaanni kaadu). He also said that 'Veyi Kannulatho..' song is the highlight of the film. He thanked all the technicians of the film.

Bhaskar - General Manager of Suresh Movies distributor - said that MS Raju released Manasanta Nuvve and Nee Sneham through Suresh Movie Distributors in Nizam. He also said that Mahesh Babu's Okkadu is also going to be released by MS Raju through Suresh Movies in Nizam. He said that Manasanta Nuvve was released with 14 prints in 16 theaters and collected a share of 36 lakhs in the first week in Nizam. Nee Sneham was released with 15 prints in 17 theaters and collected a share of 60 lakhs. He also mentioned that there is no difference in ticket rates for Manasanta Nuvve and Nee Sneham. He mentioned that Nee Sneham's commercial success rate is 50% more than that of Manasanta Nuvve. He said that Manasanta Nuvve collected a share of 4.5 crores in total run in Nizam and he is currently expecting a share of 6 crores for Nee Sneham.

MS Raju thanked everybody for making Nee Sneham a big hit. He said that he paid double the promised amounts to all the technicians for this film. He opined that his technical team is the best one at present and said that he pays at least 3 times to what other producers pay to his technicians.

Arti Agarwal joined the meet in the middle and thanked his costar Uday, the producer and the technicians.
