Midhunam 50 Days Celebrations

The critical acclaimed film ‘Mithunam’ starring S P Balasubrahmaniam and Lakshmi as lead pair, written and directed by Tanikella Bharani has successfully completed 50 days. On this occasion a 50 days function was organised at Ravindra Bharati on Sunday evening (10th February, 2013). The prominent guests spotted in the function were Dasari Narayana Rao, K Vishwanath, K Raghavendra Rao, S P Balasubrahmaniam, Lakshmi, Gollapudi Maruti Rao, Tanikella Bharani, Varun Sandesh, etc. It was a colourful event with classical dance performance by Nadiya, jada kolatam by a group of girls and ‘Mithunam’ songs sung by Vinod Babu, Swapna and Janaki Rani.

Addressing the gathering Tanikella Bharani said, “On the opening day of ‘Mithunam’, I found on seven people in Usha Mayuri theater for the morning show. It gradually increased to 30 for that show and all of them being 60 years and above. However the response started increasing with the mouth talk and finally it completed 50 days in the same theaters. I was touched when a software engineer said that he replaced Aishwarya Rai photo with his parents photo as screensaver after watching ‘Mithunam’.”

S P Balasubrahmaniam said, “I’m blessed by God to get the right opportunities at the right time despite many talented people around me in all fields. May be, due to my good deeds in my past life I’m enjoying this fame now. Tanikella Bharani’s direction was so impressive that he received accolades wherever he went. The cinematographer did an outstanding job. Lakshmi is a wonderful actress that I learnt a lot from her. Awards don’t matter me. ‘Mithunam’ ran for 50 days which itself is a great thing to me. When ‘Sankarabharanam’ was released, it was said that ‘Sankarabharanam’ is a happening. Now ‘Mithunam’ is happening.”
