[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1590639841076","data":"Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, born on 28 May 1923, can only be described as one of the most influential actors of the Telugu Film Industry for most of the 20th century, his legacy endures to this day with fans all over the two states remembering him fondly. From winning three national awards, to Nandi awards and going on to become a Chief Minister for Andhra Pradesh, the luminary has enjoyed a fantastic career of both film and politics. On his birth anniversary, let us take a look back at NT Rama Rao's best works as an actor. <\/p>1. Gundamma Katha (1962)<\/b><\/p>Adapted from a Shakespeare play titled The Taming of the Shrew, this movie was shot when NTR's fame seemed unstoppable, along with fellow veteran actor ANR in leading roles. It was one of the earliest movies to showcase NTR's acting prowess as an arrogant man<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1590639841077","data":"587f2fad2938f"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1590639841078","data":"2. Raktha Sambandham (1962)<\/b><\/p>Directed by V. Madhusudhan Rao, this movie was earlier offered to ANR, who rejected it for personal reasons. The movie subsequently was offered to NTR, the role of an elder brother, with Savitri playing the sister. The movie was extremely successful and the rest is history.<\/p> <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1590639841079","data":"587f30b288589"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1590639841080","data":"3. Missamma (1955) <\/b><\/p>Six short years after his debut, NTR bagged a role in the hilarious and fondly remembered Missamma, which was fantastic in portraying the job market of a post independence India. This was one of the first roles of NTR that won hearts both at the box office and with the people. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1590639841081","data":"587f3203cb422"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1590639841082","data":"4. Maaya Bazaar (1957)<\/b><\/p>Marking NTR's first role on screen as a mythological character, Maaya Bazaar is one of the greatest Telugu movies ever made, with a star studded cast of now industry giants and NTR playing the role of Lord Krishna. This is one of those movies that is forever remembered as the greatest of all time, and if you aren't into old Telugu movies, you must have heard your elders speak about this movie with reverence. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1590639841083","data":"587f32d9b0e96"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1590639841084","data":"5. Badi Panthulu (1972) <\/b><\/p>Unconventional as NTR's usual larger than life roles go, Badi Panthulu was an abject reality check about the state of parents who are left to fend for themselves in their old age by off springs. NTR plays the role of a school teacher, as the name implies, and his wife played by Anjali Devi are neglected by their own children but his students keep in touch and are extremely fond of him. Interesting fact to note, this was actress Sri Devi's first movie, she plays NTR's granddaughter in the movie.<\/p> <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1590639841085","data":"587f35204c004"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1590639841086","data":"6. Nippu Lanti Manishi (1974) <\/b><\/p>The 70s are famous in Indian cinema for being the era of the angry young men, growing increasingly disillusioned by the corruption around them, the lack of jobs and government apathy in general, NTR's Nippu Lanti Manishi taps into this fury with his role as a cop. While critics may argue that he wasn't made to play the angry young man, NTR more than made up with his charisma.<\/p> <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1590639841087","data":"587f3bf65c311"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1590639841088","data":"7. Yamagola (1977) <\/b><\/p>Yamagola is a funny fantasy movie which involves NTR going to heaven and then to hell, a funny and often satirical take on the then affairs of the state, and a movie so good it still holds up as a fantastic watch today. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1590639841089","data":"587f383f746aa"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1590639841090","data":"8. Justice Chowdary (1982)<\/b><\/p>In perhaps one of the best roles of NTR as his film career drew to its twilight years and before his career as a politician, he plays an advocate by the name of RK Chowdary in an action drama, caught in between dishonest people as a honest man in service of justice. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1590639841091","data":"587f3992d9cc1"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1590639841092","data":"9. Pelli Chesi Chudu (1952) <\/b> <\/p>A social satire, and that too a few years after his debut, NTR proved his mettle as a subtle actor in a satirical take on the dowry system in India and how it affects life after marriage. It is just as relevant today as it was in 1952, a sad reality of today's India. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1590639841093","data":"587f3a63ae9ef"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1590639841094","data":"10. Daana Veera Sura Karna (1977) <\/b><\/p>A return to form of sorts by NTR, he went above and beyond with his skills as an actor, playing the triple role of Lord Krishna, Duryodhana and Karna and wrapped up the shooting in just 43 days, an achievement in every sense. The movie was a smash hit, breaking records and smashing competition, and it is still a fantastic movie to watch today. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1590639841095","data":"587f3b7b1e655"}]
