On Sunday, as the mass hero turns 62, here is a look at some of his finest films. 'King' has acted in some of Tollywood's biggest hits, emerging as a synonym for success. The veteran enjoys a strong fan following due to his powerful performances, evergreen looks and humble nature. All content is subject to his perspective's jurisdiction and any brickbats and discussions on right and wrong are welcome.Nagarjuna is arguably one of the biggest names in Telugu cinema. ( This review is merely a piece of fiction as transpired in the writer's head. Go kill yourself, now that you have wasted five minutes of your life reading this review.

Starring - Akkineni Nageshwar Rao, Akkineni Nagarjuna, Akkineni Naga Chaitanya ( though not in this particular order of lineage ), Samantha, Shriya, Ali, Brahmanandam and a few other people whose names we cant remember. The old and the grand are giving way for the young and new. What happens during the course of the film is a run of the mill drama, the very very routine comedy and a set of tragically predictable incidents. Manam, written and directed by Vikram Kumar and produced by the "Akkineni Family" is the story of a strange set of incidents revolving around a clocktower, a day in February and three men scattered in time with hillarious love stories. This film is no different and no less than a celebration of a family that, at the end of it, declares another heir incumbent much to our moblike audience's thrills.

Let us not deny the fact that when the rich and the powerful celebrate, the world watches in awe. But since the plot and the story are quite stupid and unbelievably badly done, we must enjoy this bold projection of one of the five powerful families of our cinema industry. Manam is a three-tier generational story with several fine layers of near real-life, sub-altern, watch-beyond-the-screen subtextual stories running around the plot.
