‘Agni Parvatham’ was produced by C. Ashwini Dutt and directed by Darsakendrudu K. Raghavendra Rao under the banner of Vyjayanthi Movies with Superstar Krishna as hero. The film which was released in 1985 and created records in terms of revenue, has complete 3 decades. The film was screened 100 days in 12 centres, silver jubilee in 8 centres and over 200 days in 2 centres. It has created buzz with box office collections with the second run also. The film stood as a biggest hit among all films in the combination of Superstar Krishna and K Raghavendra Rao. Krishna’s aggressive dialogue ‘Agni…Jamadagni…Sivudu Moodokannu Therichina…Ee Jamadagni Notiventa Moodo Anke Veluvadina…Puttedi Agni, Migiledi Bhasmam…’ became very popular. Musically also the film became big hit with super hit songs like ‘Ee Galilo…’, ‘Ide Ide Raguluthunna Agni Parvatham…’ and ‘Vai Vai Chaivai No.1…’. ‘Agni Parvatham’ film has an exclusive place among all super hit films which delivered from Vyjayanthi Movies banner. It stood as a mile stone in Superstar Krishna’s career. Superstar Krishna’s acting style in two distinct roles as Jamadagni and Chanram, director K Raghavendra Rao’s taking, KS Prakash handling of photography, Chakravarthy’s music and C Ashwin Dutt’s uncompromised making and all these made the film a sensational success. It’s a great thing that the songs and dialogues in the film are receiving tremendous response even after 3 decades of the release of the film. Vyjayanthi Movies banner was established on 11th of January in 1975 with the film ‘Eduruleni Manishi’ with Viswa Vikyatha Nata Sarva Bhouma Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao as hero. It’s a great coincidence that Vyjayanthi Movies will complete 4 decades on 11th of January 2014 and the film ‘Agni Parvatham’ will complete 3 decades.
