ANDHRA NUNDI ARKANSAS VARAKU CHIRU JALLU

When we first heard that Mega Star's "Shankardada MBBS" was getting released in Fayetteville, our joy knew no bounds. We were very happy as we very rarely get to see a Telugu movie in Fayetteville and that too a CHIRU movie was like icing on the cake. May be would not have been so excited hadn't we watched the movie in Dallas. But having seen the movie once, made us wait for the movie even more desperately. We wanted to make it a big occasion. We got posters printed and made T-shirts. We made Jeevi's concept "$200 for a movie" true! Finally, the day arrived. We all dressed in Red T-shirts, chanting "Shankardada MBBS uh ah uh ah" took out a car rally to the theater with posters on them. This was the first time the theater was full for an Indian movie. We somehow managed to adjust ourselves in the front seats. We were happy that we were the "Front Benchers" for a CHIRU movie again .There was a huge roar for Chiru introduction scene and that momentum never subdued. People kept shouting for every scene especially for the bewarse walk and the excitation reached its peak when Chiru started translating Telugu proverbs. The biggest shout was when Pawan Kalyan was on the screen. However a step or two would have made us even happier. The response was awesome for every song and people even danced before the screen for the title song. Who would have expected to watch all this in AMERICA, well I guess all this is only possible for CHIRU.

Firstly, thanks to CHIRU for making a wonderful movie .We would like to appreciate our friend Karthik Balaram for thinking this up and also Ram of JB hunt for bringing the movie to Fayetteville. Hope he brings more Telugu movies to Fayetteville ……
