== Plot ==
Krishna Murthy alias Kittu ([[Jagapati Babu]]) always [[Gambling|bets for money]] with Chandram alias Pandem Chandra Rao ([[Sudhakar (actor)|Sudhakar]]). Once, there is a bet that Kittu makes Bhavani ([[Rambha (actress)|Rambha]]), Jhansi ([[Soundarya]]), and Jogeshwari Devi ([[Kanchan (actress)|Kanchan]]) fall for him, and he agrees to that. Kittu is a musician in a hotel.

Bhavani is a college student who fights for women. Knowing this, Kittu pretends to be a man who respects women. His friend Ahobilam ([[Brahmanandam]]) pretends as a rowdy named Khan Dada, and they play a drama in front of Bhavani that Kittu beat Khan Dada's henchman who [[Harassment|harassed]] a girl. As a result, Bhavani falls for Kittu.

Jhansi is a police inspector. Kittu hires a goon ([[Narsing Yadav]]) to kidnap her younger brother and pretends to save him. The boy sees Kittu giving money to the goon. Jhansi thanks him and invites him to lunch. The boy tells Jhansi that Kittu gave money to the goon, and Jhansi understands that the kidnapping is Kittu's drama. She arrests Kittu and asks why he played the drama, and he tells her that he loves her. Jhansi also falls for Kittu.

Jogeswari Devi is a [[sannyasi]]. Kittu and Ahobilam go for her, and Kittu sexually arouses her with [[whore dialogues]]. Devi too falls for Kittu. Bhairavaiah ([[Rami Reddy (actor)|Rami Reddy]]) [[Child abduction|kidnapped Devi in her childhood]] and made her a sannyasi to earn money.

Once in an alcoholic state Ahobilam drink reveals how they have fooled Bhavani which she overhears. So she hires a goon named Malli to fight Kittu and lets him come to the spot. Ahobilam sees Bhavani and cautions Kittu. Malli tries to [[Sexual assault|molest]] Bhavani. Kittu comes in time and confronts Malli. Bhavani apologizes to Kittu and proposes to him.

Kittu tells Chandram that all the three women have fallen for him and asks for the money. Chandram asks him to prove it, and he informs the women to come to [[Golconda]] at different times. Bhavani and Jhansi go there and write their names with his name in the love symbol on the walls of the tombs and tell him that they love him and they go to their homes. Devi writes her name with Kittu's name in the [[Heart (symbol)|love symbol]]. While Kittu is returning after skating around the tombs, Devi is shot by Hari ([[Srihari]]) as told by Bhairavaiah and tells Kittu that she loves him before dying. Bhairavaiah calls the police to get Kittu arrested. Chandram misunderstands the situation and thinks that Kittu killed Devi. Chandram and his assistant ([[Amanchi Venkata Subrahmanyam|AVS]]) escape from the place. Ahobilam takes Kittu away.

Bhairavaiah shows Jhansi the names of Bhavani, Devi, and Jhansi with Kittu's name and tells her that Kittu is a [[Promiscuity|womanizer]]. Jhansi believes his words and searches for Kittu. Kittu goes to Chandram's house to prove his innocence. There, Chandram's elder brother Hari and Bhairavaiah talk to each other. Chandram and Kittu come to know who the murderer is. Kittu confronts Hari. Bhairavaiah calls the police. Jhansi comes there, and Kittu escapes to Bhavani's home. Jhansi chases Kittu and asks Bhavani about him. She lies that he did not come there. Bhavani believes that he did not murder Devi. Kittu escapes from there to the government hospital. Jhansi understands that Kittu came there and escaped. She threatens Ahobilam to tell her about Kittu. He tells her that Kittu often goes to the government hospital. She goes there. Knowing this, Bhavani also goes there to save him, but Jhansi catches Kittu and asks why he murdered Devi and why he played the love dramas with many women.

Then, Kittu reveals his past. He and Swapna ([[Ramya Krishna]]) loved each other, but her grandfather Gajapati ([[Kaikala Satyanarayana]]) rejected him. Swapna left her family and married Kittu. She later got pregnant. Hari wants his paternal uncle Gajapati's property and plans to kill Swapna. He sent a goon and beat Swapna on the road. She gave birth to a [[Mental disorder|mentally unstable]] baby girl because of the assault by the goon and had, unfortunately [[Maternal death|died]] because of [[pregnancy complications]].

Kittu earns money on bets for his daughter's operation. It is Hari who tells Chandram to bet with Kittu and make him love the woman. Gajapati sticks for Swapna and writes the property in her name. Hari plans to get Kittu arrested and take the property. Hari and Bhairavaiah kidnap the girl from the hospital. Kittu confronts them, and later, Hari and Bhairavaiah die from running vehicles. The operation on the baby is successful, and Kittu marries Bhavani.

== Production ==
First, only three heroines were included in the story, but later the role of Swapna was included. [[Divya Bharti]] & [[Meena (actress)|Meena]] were selected for two female roles respectively. But Bharti's death and Meena's unavailability led to the casting of [[Soundarya]] and [[Rambha (actress)|Rambha]]. [[K. Raghavendra Rao]] wanted to cast [[Kamal Haasan]] for the lead role, but as it has multi heroines, Raghavendra Rao convinced himself that [[Jagapati Babu]] was suitable for the role. It was a big budget film of that time.

'''''Jagadguru Adi Shankara''''' is a 2013 Indian [[Telugu language|Telugu]]-language [[biographical film]] written and directed by [[J. K.

The ensemble cast includes Kaushik Babu in the title role of Adi Shankaracharya, [[Nagarjuna (actor)|Nagarjuna]], [[Mohan Babu]], [[Suman (actor)|Suman]], [[Srihari]] and [[P. Sai Kumar|Sai Kumar]]. [[Chiranjeevi]] reprises his role of [[Shiva|Sri Manjunatha]] from the 2001 film of the [[Sri Manjunatha (film)|eponymous name]] in a cameo appearance.<ref name="indiatimes1">{{cite web |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videos/entertainment/regional/telugu/Sri-Jagadguru-Adi-Shankara-Audio-launch/videoshow/18954056.cms |title=Sri Jagadguru Adi Shankara: Audio launch |work=The Times of India |date=13 March 2013}}</ref>

==Plot==
[[Adi Shankara]] is born at [[Kalady]] in [[Kerala]] to a Brahmin family. Soon after Adi Shankara is born, [[Agni]] the fire god, says to Rudraksha Rushi that he has only 8 years of life. So, Rudraksha Rushi gives 24 years of life to Shankara from his span, at a cycle of every 8 years whenever Shankara's life is in trouble. After his father's death, Shankara shows his remarkable power in acquiring mastery over four [[Vedas]] at the age of eight. When he is caught by a [[crocodile]] in the Purna river, he seeks the permission of his mother to become a Sanyasi, and then only the crocodile leaves him. Reluctantly, his mother accepts his proposal and then the crocodile disappears.

Shankara leaves for North India in search of a guru. Then he finds his guru, [[Govinda Bhagavatpada]]. Bhagavatpada teaches Shankara 'Jala Stambhana', 'Agnisthambana', 'Vaayusthambana' and 'Parakaya Pravesha' (leaving one's soul and entering others), etc. skills. Soon, Shankara decides to preach his [[Advaita Vedanta]] philosophy to the people who are quarreling among themselves in the name of caste and religion. Shankara teaches a lesson to one such person, [[Kapalika|Kapalikudu]], who is responsible for the quarrels among the people. In another sequence, a [[Chandala]] proves to Shankara that all the people are equal before God.

During his philosophical tour which spans the cities of [[Srisailam]], [[Sringeri]], [[Srirangam]], [[Pithapuram]], [[Nashik]], [[Khajuraho]], [[Ujjain]], [[Kathmandu]], [[Simhachalam]], [[Aravalli Range|Aravalli]], [[Varanasi]], [[Madurai]], [[Pushpagiri, Andhra Pradesh|Pushpagiri]], [[Kurukshetra]], [[Khandwa]], [[Dwarka|Dwaraka]], [[Kumbakonam]], [[Draksharamam]], [[Ajanta Caves|Ajanta]], [[Somnath]], [[Kolar]], [[Konark]], [[Murudeshwara]], [[Kanyakumari]], [[Badrinath]], [[Nanjangud]], [[Guruvayur]], [[Dandakaranya]], [[Alampuram]], [[Shravanabelagola]], [[Sarnath]], [[Chidambaram]], [[Puri]], [[Tirumala]], [[Haridwar]], [[Taxila]], [[Prayagraj]], [[Ayodhya]], [[Patna]], [[Parli, Maharashtra|Parli]], [[Srikalahasti]] and [[Bhimashankar Temple|Bhimashankara]], Shankara gets a chance to debate with [[Maṇḍana Miśra]]. While Miśra is about to give up, his wife [[Ubhaya Bharati]] challenges Shankara by asking some questions on sex and related subjects. As Shankara is a Sanyasi, he cannot answer her questions. He then asks for a recess of 15 days. He later does Parakaya Pravesha and enters the dead body of King Amaraka Maharaju. He then makes love with his wife and learns and gets the answers to the questions posed by Ubhaya Bharati. Although being a sage, he performs the rituals of his dead mother by invoking Lord [[Shiva]]. This factor irks the elders of his religion. However, they repent for their actions later. Finally, having occupied 'Sarvagnapeetha' of Kashmir, Adi Shankara walks through the [[Himalayas]], gets salvation and merges into Lord Shiva. He is believed to merge into Shiva at present-day [[Kedarnath Temple|Kedarnath]].

The film deals with mythological character [[Ghatotkacha]]. The prologue of the film shows that Ghatotkacha ([[Kaikala Satyanarayana|Kaikala Sathyanarayana]]) is mortally wounded in the [[Kurukshetra War]] and falls. He is helped by a little tribal girl when he asks for water. He promises her that he will repay this whenever she needs it.

Hundreds of years later the same little girl is born as Chitti. Her parents Koteswara Rao ([[Sarath Babu]]) and Sudha ([[Sudha (Telugu actress)|Sudha]]) are rich [[Non-resident Indian and person of Indian origin|NRIs]]. She is the only heir of all the riches. Two of his family members Chalapathi Rao ([[Chalapathi Rao]]) and Shivaji Raja ([[Sivaji Raja]]) have a crooked plan to kill all of them and get the assets. Basanna ([[Rallapalli (actor)|Rallapalli]]) is a servant in their house who is [[Muteness|dumb]]. He saves the girl in several attempts made by the duo. Knowing that they cannot successfully execute their plan with the servant in the house, they throw him away from the house according to a plan. Sensing the danger to the life of their kid, they want to sell off all their properties and go to a foreign country again. The duo tries to kill the entire family by planting a bomb in their car. The girl escapes from the accident, but her parents are killed. The goons try to kill her also, but Kaka saves her by sacrificing his own life. Later she is rescued by Basanna's son Ranga ([[Ali (comedian)|Ali]]).

Ranga takes her and runs for his life. At last, they enter a forest and when the assassins are about to kill her, she calls for help. Ghatotkacha remembers his promise and rescues her.

Later, A robot named Subbarao saves Roja ([[Roja (actress)|Roja]]), when a criminal ([[AVS (actor)|AVS]]) who says the words, ‘Rangu Paddudi, tries to murder her.’ He falls in love with Roja. Then, he visits Ghatotkacha, Chitti, and Roja.

Later, [[Yamaleela|Thota Ramudu]] ([[Tanikella Bharani]]), Rangu Paduddi, Chalapathi Rao and Sivaji Raja try to kill Chitti. They succeed before Ghatotkacha comes after smashing the 10000 Watt Powered Subbarao. He asks [[Hanuman|Lord Anjaneya]] to return Chitti's life. In avail, Ghatotkacha becomes a supergiant and reverses time, by holding onto [[Earth]].

He appears at the correct time before Chitti has an accident and he scares the gang away. He uses his power to change the robot, Subbarao should kill Chalapathi Rao, Wizard ([[Kota Srinivasa Rao]]), Rangupadidi, and the Scientist ([[Tinnu Anand]]) who created him.

Subbarao kills Chalapathi by a laser beam redirection. Ghatotkacha removed Wizard's body and played Tennis with his head and Subbarao destroyed it. He tossed Rangupadidi and he melted and he exploded Scientist and his lab.

Thota Ramudu was forced to stay on Scrap Collector's ([[Brahmanandam]]) TV for betraying Ghatotkacha.

Meanwhile, Lala starts to suspect Amar to be a mole in the gang after an encounter goes wrong. Jaggu confronts Amar, who denies it, supported by Raja. Jaggu then tells him to kill a police inspector to prove himself. Amar agrees and Pooja, in anger, distances herself from him as well. Amar shoots the police inspector in front of the gang and has proved his worth.

However, it is later revealed that the shootout was a hoax. Vinod confronts Amar telling him that he is not killing Raja and others because they are his childhood friends. Amar still insists that he can reform them and that Lala is the only actual culprit. Meanwhile, Surya tries to make up with Pooja and asks for her to tie [[Raksha Bandhan|rakhi]] on his wrist. At the same time, Lala's brother enters lusting after her. This anger Surya who beats him very hard.

Very angry, Raja confronts Amar and is about to kill him. Amar manages to calm him down, and Raja agrees to surrender after Roma is found pregnant. Jaggu meanwhile receives news from Lala that he can hide Raja but should bring Amar to him. Jaggu goes to their place and gives Raja tickets to escape Mumbai, but he insists on surrendering.

==Plot==
Lakshmi Narayana ([[Venkatesh (actor)|Venkatesh]]), the MD of Lakshmi Group of Companies, is an elder son in a family with two brothers and two sisters. He is very strict about disciplining his brothers so that they become the men that their father ([[Ranganath (actor)|Ranganath]]) wanted them to be, to the point of beating them for coming home drunk. He owns a factory that is worth hundreds of [[crores]]. Shailaja a.k.a. Shailu ([[Charmme Kaur]]), an employee in Lakshmi's company, has a huge crush on him. Janardhan ([[Sayaji Shinde]]), a former employee of Lakshmi Industries who was accused of [[forgery]], plans to take revenge on Lakshmi by creating divisions in his family. Soon, Lakshmi's sister falls in love with a man, and he is accepted by Lakshmi, with the marriage concluding grandly. It is later revealed that the man is Janardhan's nephew. This leads to Lakshmi revealing to his siblings that he and his sister (the youngest of the five) were adopted by their parents at a young age as they were [[orphans]] who were being ill-treated by their uncles and aunts. All this leads to the splitting of the siblings with Lakshmi and his sister being thrown out of the house by their younger brothers. The people standing beside Lakshmi are all the people in his factory and his other sister. Lakshmi even ends up working in his factory for all this. He even moves into a small house with his sister, where he is later joined by his mother. Later, it is revealed that Lakshmi had fallen in love with a girl named Nandini ([[Nayantara]]) earlier, who was the niece of his foster father. Nandini was threatened by a young man who was the son of a [[Kolkata]]-based don named Rayudu ([[Pradeep Rawat (actor)|Pradeep Rawat]]). Lakshmi beats up the guy and sends him into a [[coma]], which earns him Rayudu's wrath. The rest of the story is about how Lakshmi stands up to all these people together.

He knows whom he is catering to and delivers what he promised".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/lakshmi-telugu-movie-review-8009.html|title=Lakshmi review. Lakshmi Telugu movie review, story, rating}}</ref> Jeevi of ''[[idlebrain.com]]'' gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and said "First half of the film is OK and the scenes before interval are good. The second half divulges into a entirely different flashback episode. There are certain good moments in the film and has got orientation towards masses and family crowds. However, the VV Vinayak could not blend in Venkatesh’s family image and Vinayak’s mass taking in a smooth way. The biggest advantage of this film is that Lakshmi is the only mass film for the entire season of Sankranthi which gives good market penetration in C and D centers as well in the first week itself".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-lakshmi.html|title=Lakshmi - Telugu cinema Review - Venkatesh, Nayana Tara & Charmme}}</ref>In the 50 days of function at Eluru, the hero [[Venkatesh]] said"The success of Lakshmi film encouraged me a lot.

==Plot==
Raghaviah and Ram Mohan Rao are brothers-in-law. But Ram Mohan Rao is at loggerheads with Raghavayya because of a family feud. Raghavayya is nearing his 60s and it's time for his Shastipoorti ceremony. Upon incessant requests from his wife, Raghavayya decides to invite (for the first time) his daughter-in-law and grandchildren who are staying in Bombay. Raghu is the alienated handsome grandson of Raghavayya. After arriving at Ramapuram from Bombay, he faces embarrassment from the members of Raghavayya's family. There he meets a childlike beauty Manga. Manga and Raghu play a few pranks on each other and slowly they fall deeply in love. But they never admit their love to each other. With his unconditional love towards the family members, Raghu wins their confidence and hearts.

Later on, Raghu discovers the cause of the feud between the families of Raghavayya and Ram Mohan Rao. Raghu's father Bhaskar Rao is supposed to marry Ram Mohan Rao's daughter Rajani. Bhaskar prefers his college flame Kousalya rather than Rajani, so he leaves for Mumbai and gets married, and disappointed Rajani opts for suicide. Ram Mohan Rao blames it on Raghavayya and starts treating him indifferently. Erra Babu, the fiery son of Ram Mohan Rao, is another victim of the incident. He develops a prejudice against Raghavayya and aims for his blood.

After a few days of timely strategic manipulation, Raghu succeeds in bringing the two troubled families together. Then they decide to marry Manga off to Ram Mohan Rao's grandson to tighten their family bonds. Raghu sacrifices his love in order to make sure that everybody is happy. As the preparations are going on for the wedding Manga, they find that Manga is missing. Everyone knows about Raghu and Manga's love story and finally Erra Babu realizes his mistake and also agrees to their love and unites both lovers.

Once a low caste Bhagavatar called Bhachanollu visits Vidyanagaram in which an extraordinary dancer Manjulavani challenges the people of Vidyanagaram when Kasi competes and wins. Knowing it, Viswambhara Sastry the mentor of Kasi chides him that he has dragged [[Saraswati|Goddess Saraswati]] into the streets. Here, Kasi argues that art does not have any caste or community it should hold the public admiration when Viswambhara Sastry becomes furious and necks Kasi out. Being cognizant of it, Viswanatha Sastry berates and forcibly makes Kasi to apologise the mentor. Thereafter, Kasi & Manju fall for each other and gives a show of ignoring the ordinance of village heads & his elders for which he has been ostracised from the religion. Soon, Kasi marries Manju and is beloved by the public all over the country with their performances. At that juncture, King Vijayananda Ramagajapati is impressed and invites them to his kingdom where Dharmadhikari narrates the story of Kasi. Affirms, that Kasi is ineligible for the honor when Kasi strives and gains victory over all the scholars in the council when he is accoladed. Even Viswambhara Sastry too appreciates him. Keeping that grudge in mind Dharmadhikari ploys using court dancer Amurthamba who clutches him into a spoiled brat. Once, drunken Kasi is unable to sing in the court, so, King makes his prison when Manju arrives on time and breaks the conspiracy of Dharmadhikari. Later Kasi & Manju returns to Vidyanagaram, but Kasi cannot get rid of his vices, loses his wealth, and start ill-treating Manju. Learning it, Annapurna reaches Kasi secretly and upbraids which makes him repent and reform. On her back, Viswanatha Sastry does not allow her, so, she commits suicide when Kasi & Manju gets back to her with their devotional power. At last, the entire society realizes the couple's eminence and pleads guilty. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note.

Lalitha is a poor lady who loved a young man named Ramesh, who refused her proposal of their marriage for want of dowry. Meanwhile, she is being forced by her parents to marry a wealthy drunkard. Helpless, Lalitha decides to kill herself at the tracks where the same train which Seeta is traveling, but she survives as the train derails just before reaching her allowing her to survive, albeit, with a few injuries. Prasad requests Lalitha to act like Seeta, until he finds Seeta, for his family's sake. It turns out that Seeta died in the train accident and no one could come forward to identify Seeta at the time of the accident since everyone mistook Lalitha for Seeta. The officials hence buried Seeta, unidentified. Prasad, thus, decides to arrange Lalitha's marriage with Ramesh by giving the dowry, but Ramesh suspects a relationship between Prasad and Lalitha. Hearing this, Lalitha refuses the marriage and asks Ramesh to get out. Simultaneously, Seeta's relative Jagannadham kidnaps Lalitha for the property, but she is saved by Prasad.

==Plot==
Suryanarayana ([[Jagapati Babu]]) is an unemployed youth in a village but also a man who stands first when it comes to helping others and bashing baddies. His parents ([[Chalapathi Rao]] and [[Annapoorna (actress)|Annapoorna]]) are worried because the girls refuse to marry him as he is unemployed. They approach the local leader Puttaguntla Sriramulaiah ([[Paruchuri Gopala Krishna]]), who recommends him for the job of Chief Minister Tirupati Nayudu's ([[Ahuti Prasad]]) personal secretary. As the secretary, Suri takes up several issues and answers them. In the process, he realizes that Tirupati is crooked. Meanwhile, he meets Rajeshwari ([[Shraddha Das]]). He falls in love with her, but as destiny would have it, his life takes a turn when Sriramulu is killed by Mahendra Bhupati ([[Anandaraj]]), his henchman ([[Supreeth]]), and Tirupati. Sriramulu is like the godfather for Suri, and before he dies, he takes a word from him that he would enter politics. True to his word, Suri contests as an independent from the Sriramulu constituency and wins with a huge margin, with a twist of change. He accumulates a group of 25 such independents. The results suggest a hung assembly. Suri offers to support whichever party makes him the Chief Minister. The rest of the story is all about how Suri brings change with the power bestowed on him.<ref name="Story">{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/adhinetha-review-telugu-movie-review-10861 |title=Official Title |publisher=indiaglitz}}</ref>
