7 Years of Mahanati:


On May 9, 2018, Mahanati hit theatres and left audiences speechless. As the film completes 7 years, here are 7 reasons why it remains one of the finest biopics ever made in Telugu cinema.

7 Years of Mahanati:

Some films leave our minds as soon as we leave the theatre. But some stay with us for years. Mahanati belongs to the second type. This Keerthy Suresh-starrer biopic on legendary actress Savitri released on May 9, 2018, and even after 7 years people still remember its magic. Here are 7 reasons why Mahanati is considered a classic in Tollywood:


1. Keerthy Suresh’s Unforgettable Performance

Keerthy Suresh didn’t just play Savitri. She became her on screen. Her transformation mannerisms and emotional depth made people forget they were watching an actress. Her performance won her a National Award proving her dedication and talent.

2. Nag Ashwin’s Brilliant Direction

Director Nag Ashwin took a huge risk by choosing a massive biopic as his second film. But he proved everyone wrong who doubted his skills in handling such a heavy biopic. His storytelling, attention to detail and emotional depth in handling the story made the audience connect with Savitri’s journey. He turned Mahanati into an unforgettable cinematic experience.

3. Perfect Casting

Every actor in the film fit their roles perfectly. Dulquer Salmaan as Gemini Ganesan, Samantha as Madhuravani, and Vijay Deverakonda as Vijay were excellent. Even supporting actors gave memorable performances showing the strength of the casting team.

4. Emotional Storytelling

Mahanati takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. It begins with smiles, moves into love and romance then shows the pain, anger, and tragedy of Savitri’s life. The emotions feel real and raw pulling audiences into her world.

5. Rich Music and Visuals

Every song in the film is a gem. Music by Mickey J. Meyer is just the soul of the story. The visuals, costumes and sets transport viewers back to the golden era of Telugu cinema making the biopic visually beautiful and historically authentic.

6. Strong Message and Respect for Savitri

The film didn’t just show Savitri Garu’s life. It honored her. It presented her strengths and weaknesses with dignity, making today’s generation understand why she was called Mahanati. It helped bring her forgotten legacy back to light.

7. A Timeless Classic

Even after 7 years, people continue to watch and talk about Mahanati. Very few biopics have made such an impact in Indian cinema. This film set a high standard for how a biopic should be made, and it will be hard to match its quality and heart.

On this special occasion, fans are once again revisiting Mahanati and celebrating its magic. May 9 is not just a date. It’s a reminder of the day Telugu cinema witnessed a masterpiece. Will there be another film like Mahanati? That remains a big question, but one thing is certain that this biopic will remain iconic forever.
