Srinivas examines three Telugu films to study how popular cinema deals with the issues of citizenship, rights and their denial: With reference to popular cinema, to demonstrate that it reinforces the social construction of citizen and non-citizen figures is facile and inadequate. To my mind how cinema presents the problem and its resolution is more interesting. .[…] In the light of the above discussion it is possible to suggest that citizenship in popular cinema is certainly a privilege that is available to a small minority. However, the fact that a large part of the population remains outside the domain of rights is the cause of considerable anxiety, which is often projected on to citizen figures in film. The star is means of addressing this anxiety, of making the masses available for reformist initiatives, of making them speak in a language we understand. Linked by kuffir.

But you missed another great movie Sri Ramualayya which is based on legendary naxal-rathukuli leader Sri Ramulu. The basic plot behind the movie is Bhoomi kosam (For land) Bhukti kosam (For Food) vimukti kosam (For the relase from clutches of feudal land lords). I would like to respond Venkat garu's comments. I was wondering when Naranamurthy agreed to join in Telugu Desham party. I know him personally and he never had such intention like joining into some party but people from different parties met him and tried to convince him but no body agreed to meet his conditions. Telugu desham party offered him MP seat for Kakinada twice. Congress offered MLA seat for Tuni in last elections. Everybody aware of true colours of Dasari, In 1999 he wanted to float a party and he wanted chiranjeevi to join and canvas for the party but chiranjeevi was not willing for that so he canceled the idea and joined in congress and benefitted from it. Regarding chiranjeevi and Jayaprakash the basic difference is with the masses.Be it India or america one should have mass support to become a strong leader in the democracy, in any democracy what matters is vote bank. Don't we have Honest and efficient leaders before NTR started a party in 1982 but no body ever made the wonders like NTR did in 1982. Very good article.

I would like to respond Venkat garu’s comments.

float a party and he wanted chiranjeevi to join and canvas for the
party but chiranjeevi was not willing for that so he canceled the idea
and joined in congress and benefitted from it.

Regarding chiranjeevi and Jayaprakash the basic difference is with
the masses.Be it India or america one should have mass support to
become a strong leader in the democracy, in any democracy
what matters is vote bank. Don’t we have Honest and efficient leaders
before NTR started a party in 1982 but no body ever made the wonders
like NTR did in 1982.

లోక్ సత్తా పార్టీ స్థాపించిన జయప్రకాశ్ కి లేని సపోర్ట్ చిరంజీవికి ఎందుకు దక్కుతుంది?
మొన్న వరకూ ఎర్రజెండా మోసిన నారాయణ మూర్తి హఠాత్తుగా పచ్చ చొక్క వేసుకుని సైకిల్ తొక్కడానికి ఎందుకు సిధ్ధమయ్యాడు?
నక్సలైట్ ఉద్యమాన్ని కమర్షియలైజ్ చేసి డబ్బు చేసుకుని ఇప్పుడు అదే ఉద్యమాన్ని బ్యాన్ చేసిన కాంగ్రెస్ పార్టీలో పదవులు నిర్వహిస్తున్న దాసరి అసలు రంగేంటీ?
లాంటి ప్రశ్నలకు సమాధానం ఇవ్వకపోయినా ఇలాంటి ఎన్నో ప్రశ్నలను ఈ వ్యాసంలోని పాయింట్స్ ప్రశ్నిస్తాయి.
శ్రీనివాస్ గారి మరిన్ని వ్యాసాలు త్వరలో….
