and grammar)
Section-IV is for Home Assignment (Creative Writing)
SECTION I
(READING COMPREHENSION)
(Q.No.1-10) Read the following passage from the lesson “The Journey”
After spending a leisurely Sunday at home, the very thought of returning to

work on Monday is tiring. Lethargy creeps in if the holiday continues over an
extended period. That is how I felt when I was preparing to return to my place of
work after spending six months at home. The fact that I was to leave behind my
newly-wed wife and go to a far-off place did not help either. Obviously I did not
want to go.
However, I finally did decide to go. I did not have much to carry by way of
luggage – just a trunk. Ours is a hilly terrain, without any motorable roads – and
there is no certainty that we are ever going to have any roads. In any case, while
coming home we do not carry bedding. Besides, I had come home this time round
for a special purpose: to get married. My parents had arranged my marriage,
according to the customs of our tribal society. Time flew, and five months into my
marriage I realized it. Initially I thought of extending my leave – even taking unpaid
leave. But after some dilly-dallying, I finally decided against it because marriage had
increased my responsibilities and I had got into debt.
On my way home from the bus stop, my trunk had been carried by a porter.
The problem now was we couldn’t find anyone who could help me carry the trunk
to the bus stop. At another time of the year, we would have easily found someone to
help me, but now most of the villagers were busy in the fields. Nobody had time to
spare for me. In fact, carrying the trunk should not have been such a worry for me
except that my education had made me shun physical labour. After all, I was a
government officer and the idea of people seeing me carry my own luggage was not
at all amusing. Otherwise, for a young man like me it should not have been an issue
to carry a 20- kilo chest on my back.
Finally, my father came up with a solution. ‘Don’t worry. I myself will see
you off at Dirang.’
I protested. How could I allow my old father to carry my trunk? What would
people think? What would they say? But I failed to dissuade him. It was decided that
father would carry the chest.
Now, answer the following questions. Each question has four choices. Choose the
correct answer.
1. The thought of returning to work on Monday after an extended period of

UNIT - 3 : A Reading (The Journey) Segment-2
There are 20 MCQs in section I,II and III(Reading comprehension,Vocabulary and
grammar)
SECTION - I
(Q.No.1-10) Read the following passage from the lesson “The Journey”
A large crowd gathered at our place the day I was to leave. People had come
to wish me luck. It was 10.20 when I left for Dirang. My father had already left. As I
had to do a bit of catching up, I walked fast. Three kilometres down the road, I
caught up with my father. Father said, ‘You are late. Would you like to rest for some
time?’
Having walked fast I was tired. Moreover, I had to cross two hills on the way
up to the spot. I quickly sat down on a rock. My father laughed at my plight.
‘So this little distance has tired you? Rest for a while. But we have to be in
time for the bus.’
Father was quiet for some time. He thoughtfully looked at the sun for a
moment, and then his eyes fell on the can of home-made wine that I was carrying.
Wetting his lips with his tongue he said in a matter-of-fact manner, ‘I am thirsty’.
I gave him the can of wine. He poured himself a mug and handed me the can.
He drank all of it at one go. He then arranged the belt that was attached to the trunk
carefully on his forehead. So, this was the picture: my father carrying my luggage on
his back and me following him with a tiny bag in my hand. We were walking up a
narrow hilly road, and neither of us uttered a word as if we were strangers who
spoke different languages. I did not know what was going on in his mind. From time
to time it crossed my mind that it was improper for me to let father carry the
luggage. I wanted to tell him that I would like to carry the trunk myself, but my guilt
and shame did not allow me to do so. This self-consciousness had probably to do
with my education, the white-collar job that I had, or quite simply my pride.
Somehow, I had the feeling that if I carried the luggage, my father and my people, in
fact the whole world would laugh at me and I would be belittled.

SECTION I
Reading following passage :-
Father had provided for my education, and I had been able to realize his
dream. My parents were truly proud of me. It was through me that they had earned
a greater degree of admiration and respect from the villagers. My father would not
like to see me carrying a trunk on my back and would be very hurt if I did so. I
concluded that it would be better to let him carry it. Father is used to carrying
luggage anyway. He was stronger and more skilled than me in these matters. I had
never got used to physical labour having stayed in hostels right from my childhood.
So, in spite of my youth and strength, I was physically useless. I continued walking
silently with father. We rested at two places on the way and had our tiffin but we
hardly talked. Finally, we reached Dirang. The bus from Tawang had not yet
reached Dirang and so we had some time in hand. We entered a tea shop and sat
facing each other. Father appeared tired. I felt sorry for him but couldn’t bring
myself to say anything. I asked the waiter to get us two cups of tea. Just as I was
going to take my first sip, I heard father’s voice, “Do you have a pair of old shoes ?”
“Why?” I asked.
“The road is uneven and full of pebbles. It hurts while walking.”
I looked at father’s bare feet. Never having worn shoes, his feet had developed
cracks and somehow resembled those of an elephant. I noticed this for the first time.
I hadn’t noticed that the road was uneven. I didn’t have to since I was wearing a pair
of hunting boot. I checked my wallet and saw I still had around Rs. 40 with me. A
pair of canvas shoes would cost around Rs. 12 and the remaining amount would be
enough for me to get to Bomdila.
My father protested. “Give me an old pair. You don’t have to spend money on
new shoes.” I couldn’t convince him to buy a new pair. Reluctantly I gave him the
hunting boots I was wearing. I then took out my pair of leather shoes from the trunk,
and noticed my father’s face lighting up with contentment. Suddenly he looked at
me and said,” Take care.
Write to us…”
Father wanted to say something but the bus started moving. I saw my father
gradually receding into the distance.
I saw the road we had come by looked like a giant motionless rope. Father would
use the same road to go back home. Simultaneously our journeys started in two
opposite directions, with me seated in the luxurious seat of a bus and father walking
back with weary legs on the pebble-strewn road.

Jill : And this is the lounge.

Aunt Jane : Charming! Charming! Such a cosy little room! And such pretty
furniture.
Jack : (modestly) We like it, you know, handy place to sit in and listen to the
radiogram.
Aunt Jane : Oh, have you got a radiogram as well as a car and a piano?
Jack : Why, of course, Aunt Jane. You simply must have a radio set nowadays.
Jill : And it's so nice for me when Jack's away at business. I even make him move it
into the kitchen, so that I can listen to it while I cook.
Jack : Sit down, Aunt Jane, You must be tired-and we've shown you everything now.
Jill : What do you think of our little nest, Aunt Jane?
Aunt Jane: I think it's wonderful, my dears. The furniture-and the car-and the
pianoand the refrigerator and the radio-what's it- it's wonderful, really wonderful!
Jack : And we owe it all to you.
Aunt Jane : Yes, Jack, that's what's worrying me.
Jack : Worrying you, Aunt Jane?
Aunt Jane : Yes. That cheque I gave you for your wedding present-it was only two
hundred pounds, wasn't it? I- didn't put two thousand by mistake? English Class X

Jill : Why, no, Aunt Jane. What on earth made you think that?
Aunt Jane : (relieved) Well, that's all right. But I still don't altogether understand. This
house-it's very lovely-but doesn't it cost a great deal for rent?
Jack : Rent? Oh, no, we don't pay rent.
Aunt Jane : But, Jack, if you don't pay rent, you'll get turned out-into the street. And
that would never do. You've Jill and the baby to think of now, you know.
Jack : No, no, Aunt Jane. You misunderstood me. We don't pay rent because the
house is ours.
Aunt Jane : YOURS?
Jill : Why, yes; you just pay ten pounds and it's yours.
Jack : You see, Aunt Jane, we realized how uneconomic it is to go on paying rent
year after year, when you can buy and enjoy a home of your own for ten pounds-
and a few quarterly payments, of course. Why be Mr. Tenant when you can be Mr.
Owner?
Aunt Jane : I see. Yes, there's something in that. Even so, you must be getting on
very well to keep up a place like this.
Jill : Oh, he is, Aunt Jane. Why, only last year he had a five shilling rise-didn't you,
Jack?
Jack : (modestly) Of course that was nothing, really. I'm expecting ten this Christmas.
Aunt Jane : (suddenly) Jack! I've just thought of something. That car-is it yours?
Jill : Of course it's ours.
Aunt Jane : All yours?
Jack : Well, no, not exactly all.
Aunt Jane : How much of it?
Jill : Oh, I should say the steering wheel-and one of the tyres -- and about two of
the cylinders. But don't you see, that's the wonderful thing about it.
Aunt Jane : I don't see anything wonderful about it.

Aunt Jane: Well I’m not going to sit on Mr. Sage’s part for any one. (she stands
up.) Now, tell me, how much do all these installments come to?
Jack: Well, actually – (He takes out his pocket-book and consults it.) – actually to
seven pounds eight and eight pence a week.
Aunt Jane: Good Heavens! And how much do you earn?
Jack: As a matter of fact - er- that is-six pounds.
Aunt Jane: But that’s absurd! How can you pay seven pounds eight and eight
pence out of six pounds?
Jack: Oh, that’s easy. You see, all you have to do is to borrow the rest of the
money for the payments from the Thrift and Providence Trust Corporation.
Jill: They’re only too glad to loan you any amount you like, on note of hand
alone.
Aunt Jane: And how do you propose to pay that back?
Jack: Oh, that’s easy too. You just pay it back in installments.
Aunt Jane: Installments! (She claps her hand to her forehead and sinks back weakly into
the chair. Then realises she is sitting on Mr. Sage’s piece and leaps to her feet again with
a little shriek.)
Jack: Aunt Jane! Is anything the matter? Would you like to lie down?
Aunt Jane: Lie Down? Do you suppose I’m going to trust myself in a bed that
belongs to Mr. Sage, or Marks and Spencer or somebody? No, I am going home.
Jill: Oh, must you really go?
Aunt Jane: I think I’d better.
Jack: I’ll drive you to the station.
Aunt Jane: What! Travel in a car that has only one tyre and two thingummies!
No thank you-I’ll take the bus.
Jack: Well of course, if you feel like that about it…
Aunt Jane: (relenting a little) Now I’m sorry if I sounded rude, but really I’m
shocked to find the way you’re living. I’ve never owed a penny in my life-cash
down, that’s my motto and I want you to do the same. (She opens her handbag.)
Now look, here’s a little cheque I was meaning to give you, anyway. (she hands it
to Jill.) Suppose you take it and pay off just one of your bills- so that you can say
one thing at least really belongs to you.
Jill: (awkwardly) Er-Thank you. Aunt Jane. It’s very nice of you.
Aunt Jane: (patting her arm) There! Now I must be going.
Jack: I’ll see you the bus anyway.
Jill: Good-bye, Aunt Jane-and thanks so much for the present.
Aunt Jane: (Kissing her) Good-bye, my dear.
(She and Jack go out. Jill looks at the cheque and exclaims ‘Ten Pounds!’ Then she hurries
to the table, addresses an envelope, endorses the cheque and slips it inside with a bill
which she takes from the bag and seals the envelope. Then she rings the bell. In a moment
the nurse comes in with the baby in her arms.)
Jill: Oh, nurse. I want you to run and post this for me. I’ll look after the baby
while you’re gone.
Nurse: Certainly, madam. (She hands the baby to Jill, takes the letter, and goes.)
(A second later Jack comes in again.)
Jack: Well, She’s gone! What a tartar! Still, she did leave us a bit on account-how
much was it?
Jill: Ten pounds.
Jack: (with a whistle) Phew! That’s great! We can pay off the next two months on
the car with that.
Jill: I-I’m afraid we can’t-
Jack: Why ever not?
Jill: You see, I-I’ve already sent it off for something else. Nurse has just gone to
post it.
Jack: Well that’s all right. Who have you sent it to?
Jill: Dr. Martin.
Jack: Dr. Martin! What on earth possessed you to do that?
Jill: (nearly in tears) There! Now you’re going to be angry with me.
Jack: I’m not angry! But why waste good money on the doctor? Doctors don’t
expect to get paid anyway.
Jill: (sobbing a little) But-but you don’t understand-
Jack: Understand what?
Jill: Why, just one more installment and BABY’S REALLY OURS! (She is holding

UNIT-4 : FILMS AND THEATRE ‘A’ Reading (Rendezvous with Ray )Segment-1
and Grammar)
SECTION - I
(Q.No.1-10) Read the following passage from the lesson “Rendezvous with Ray”
It was a unique friendship that

developed between a French-Canadian priest
and one of the world’s greatest film directors,
and had a singular impact on Bengali films
both academically and practically. It was
enroute to India in1961, at a stopover in New
York, that 26-year- old Fr. Gaston Roberge was
acquainted with the works of Satyajit Ray
through the Apu Trilogy. He found the world
of Apu so fascinating that he saw all three
films in one sitting; and there began his
longstanding love affair with the people of
India and Bengali cinema and culture, which
led to path-breaking work in those fields. In his latest book, Satyajit Ray, Essays:1970-
2005, a compilation of his essays as the name suggests, being published by Manohar
Publishers, New Delhi, Roberge provides a scholarly, original analysis of Ray’s
works, giving an insight into the greatness of Ray both as a person and as an artist.
“The Apu Trilogy was, in fact, my first portal to West Bengal and its people,”
he told Frontline. In his youth , all he knew of Bengal was through Mircea Eliade’s La
Nuit Bengalie, some of Tagore’s poems, and a Reader’s Digest article on Mother
Teresa. If the harsh image of poverty brought out by the article on the “Saint of the
Slums” haunted him, Apu’s world came as a reassurance. “No. Apu, Sarbajaya, even
Harihar did not need my help-but how not to love them? I thought it was fortunate
that I would soon be among them,” he wrote.
Roberge does not endorse the
accusation of Ray’s detractors that the
master director made his reputation
selling India’s poverty to the West. “What
struck me most was not the material
poverty depicted in the films, but the
enormous spiritual poverty of some rich
people is much more deplorable than
material poverty,” he said. Roberge does
not speak with the arrogance of the West.
“ I was here on a quest to know the world
and in the process know myself. I did not
come here to convert. In fact, I am the one
who got converted,” he said.
But it took him nine years after reaching Calcutta (now Kolkata) and joining
St. Xavier’s College, to muster up the confidence to meet Ray in person. “Although I
wanted tomeet him right away, I didn’t want to just go and see him like he was a
living museum piece. I wanted to prepare myself, get to know his works more, so
that when we met, there could be a worthwhile dialogue,” he said. When they finally
met, it was the beginning of a close friendship that lasted 22 years- until Ray’s death
in 1992.
Now, answer the following questions. Each question has four choices. Choose
the correct answer.
1. In the title ‘Rendezvous with Ray’,’Rendezvous’ refers to ___

A. A journey of life

Section IV-(is for home assignment)
SECTION – I
Read the following passage:-
“It was a quiet friendship that developed over the years. Manikda (as Ray was
affectionately called by his friends) was a shy person and always very discreet about
displaying his emotions,” said Roberge. Though to outsiders, Ray’s massive stature-
physical and intellectual- might have made him come across as cold, aloof and
intimidating , he was in reality a very simple and unassuming man with a subtle sense
of humour. It was an unspoken arrangement between the two of them to meet on
Sundays at 9:00 a.m. at Ray’s residence on Bishop Lefroy Road, Kolkata. Ray would
invite Roberge over for private screenings of his latest films and welcomed comments
on them. But this happened only after the friendship had cemented, for in the early
days of their dialogue Ray’s shyness prevented him from talking about his own films.
“He was even shy of receiving compliments,” said Roberge. To Roberge, the
greatest mark of Ray’s appreciation for him was that he often addressed the French-
speaking priest in Bengali, “in spite of my lack of elegance in that language, and the fact
that Ray knew both English and Bengali so well.
“Ray’s screenplay manuscripts were an art by themselves,” Roberge says, “hand

written in Bengali, with notes in English for his set-designer, with sketches here and
there, and occasional staff notation of fragments of music.” One Sunday morning,
Roberge found Ray in a disturbed mood. A few well-known personalities of the city
had visited him earlier to go through some of his manuscripts. After they left Ray found
the Charulatha screenplay missing. Ray was almost sure who the culprit was. “I asked
him whether he was planning to take any action, and he said no, and explained to me
that he did not want to hurt the reputation of the person. I was absolutely stunned by
his humane concern,” said Roberge.
Like Rabindranath Tagore, Ray strode his time like a colossus. Roberge writes,
“It is as if all Bengal was in Manikda: the rich and the poor, the powerful and the
humble, the peasants and the city persons, children, teenagers, adults and old people,
men and women.

grammar)
SECTION - I
(Q.No.1-10) Read the following passage from the lesson “Rendezvous with
Ray”
Philosophically too, Roberge feels, Ray took off where Tagore signed out. If
one compares the last major prose piece by Tagore, “ Shabhyatar Sankat” ( Crisis of
Civilisation), which he wrote at the beginning of the Second World War, which
contains his immortal dictum that in spite of what was happening it would be a sin
to lose faith in Man, and the last
three films of Ray- Ganashatru,
Shakha Prashakha, and Agantuk-
the analogy becomes clear.
“In these three films Ray
was at his most personal and
when some critics saw the films
as didactic and verbose, he felt
deeply hurt. For, in these last
films, Satyajit was directly talking
to us, conveying his personal
message on society and
civilization. If the impulse that motivated his earlier films was aesthetics, in the last
three it was self-expression. And there we were denying him his right to speak. As
the saying goes, no one is a prophet in one’s own country,” said Roberge. An
agnostic throughout his life, it is possible, Roberge feels, that in the face of death Ray
was searching for an answer. This was suggested by some of the music that he used
in Shakha Prashakha.
`The last time the two friends met, Ray was in hospital, on his deathbed. It
was a Sunday and Roberge, true to habit, arrived on the dot at 9 a.m. “He had grown
so weak that he looked frail as a child. I did not stay long, and as I was leaving,
Manikda said, ‘Bhalo laglo’ [it was nice]. Those were his last words to me,” said
Roberge..
One important fallout of this friendship was the establishment of Chitrabani,
acommunication and film institute, the first of its kind in West Bengal, which
Roberge founded in 1970 and to which Ray, as a token of friendship, lent his name as
co-founder. Ray was in the first governing body and after a few terms readily agreed
to be the institute’s adviser. Roberge arranged most of the initial funding from
Canadian agencies. “I had no reservations applying for them, for I feel richer
countries in the West are indebted to countries like India,” he said.
For 26 years Roberge was the director of Chitrabani and under him the
institute not only produced important documentary features, but also became
breeding ground for local talent for film-making…

UNIT-4 : FILMS AND THEATRE ‘B’ Reading (Maya Bazaar) Segment-1
There are 20 MCQs in section I,II and III(Reading comprehension,Vocabulary &
Grammar)
SECTION - I
(Q.No.1-10) Read the following passage from the lesson “Maya Bazaar”
K. V. Reddy's 'Maya Bazaar' has been voted as the 'Greatest Indian Film' in an
online poll conducted by a television news channel. The poll was conducted to find
out India's greatest film till date, on the occasion of 100 Years of Indian Cinema and
people chose 'Maya Bazaar' over other Indian classics. The film is considered one of
the enduring classics of Indian cinema and was christened as a landmark
achievement in Indian film's cinematography, art direction and VFX with the
available technology during that time. The following is a review on the film when it
celebrated the Golden Jubilee in 2007.
‘Maya Bazaar' forever!

Fifty years ago, director K.V. Reddy or for that matter, producers Nagireddy
and Chakrapani, would not have imagined
what they were unleashing when they
decided to make Maya Bazaar- a bilingual
in Telugu and Tamil. The finished product
hit the screen in 1957 to become a
landmark movie in the Telugu film
industry. It became a hit not only for the
sterling performances of the star-ensemble
that it had right from S.V. Ranga Rao,
Savitri, NTR, ANR, and Gummadi, but
also because K.V. Reddy was in full control
over every frame of it.
There is little else one could expect when all time greats like Marcus Bartley
(cinematography), Ghantasala (music), M.L.Vasantha Kumari, Leela, Suseela and
Madhavapeddi (playback), Gokhale (art), Pasumarthy (choreography) and
Pitambaram(make-up) got together to weave magic around an episode from
Mahabharatha, Sasirekha Parinayam.
However, the greatness of Maya Bazaar, about which much is said and
written, is not just because of these facets alone.
It is a tribute to Telugu
culture, language and customs of
the land. The film was watched
repeatedly soon after its release
because people identified every
character of the film with someone
they knew in their immediate
vicinity and the audience still do the
same now.
The dialogues written by
Pingali Nagendra Rao (as well the
lyrics) were the same that the people
were hearing or using in their
conversations every day - if not, those became a part of Telugu life thereafter.
Sasirekha’s, nay Ghatothkacha's Manadi Sodara Prema… became immortalized as
much as Suryakantam's antha alamalame kada which has become a way of life in
greeting people.
As for songs, Aha naa pelli anta still reverberates in marriages and Vivaaha
bhojanambu is yet another must.

UNIT – 4. FILMS AND THEATRE ‘B’ Reading- Maya Bazaar- slot-2
There are 20 MCQs in section I, II & III (Comprehension, Vocabulary and Grammar
& Editing)
Section IV-(is for home assignment)

An entire repertoire was added to the dictionary by the film. Take for example
Talpam used for denoting a cot or a bed. Were Telugus using Gilpam as an antonym of it
till the movie’s advent? Nor did anyone tell so emphatically until Ghatothkacha that
Evaru puttinchakunte maatalela pudathayi and hence if friends are to be called
Asamadiyulu then enemies could be termed Tasamadiyulu. Will anyone forget the
expression veyandira veediko veeratadu? No exception to hai hai sodara and hai hai naayaka.
The story itself is woven around the love of Sasirekha-Abhimanyu. With
Krishna and Balarama having difference of opinion over it, their wives too take sides as
is inevitable in any family. To introduce the theme, the director uses a magic box,(an
equivalent of a TV screen) which displays whatever is dear to the viewer’s heart.
Sasirekha naturally sees Abhimanyu and Balarama gets to see his sishya,
Duryodhana on it. His wife laps up the sight of an array of jewellery and the audience
laughed heartily because they knew that someone back home was equally attached to
the riches.
When Balarama curtly tells his sister, “Subhadra! Aagadalu, aghaayityalu naaku
paniki raavu”, when he was confronted with the latter’s indignation at his decision to
separate Sasirekha and Abhimanyu, womenfolk among the viewers sighed recalling
their own tribulations in the hands of such brothers.
Frame after frame impacts viewers with similarities. The greatness of the director
lies here- he successfully reduces all characters to ordinary mortals displaying all the
follies of human beings except Ghatothkacha and Krishna. And then he injects into the
Yadava household a Telugu atmosphere, full with its simile, imagery, adage, sarcasm
and wit.
The result - a feast for the eyes and soul. That is Maya Bazaar for you. Mind you,
this is a story of Pandavas Kauravas with the Yadavas pitching in. But one never sees the
Pandavas throughout the film. We only hear of them.
If any NRI asks you to suggest ways to teach Telugu culture just ask him or her
to introduce them to Maya Bazaar first. Further, if they seek to know about their uncles,
aunts and cousins back home, bring in their names, “look this is your Balarama…”
Any better way of doing it?
Then onwards it’s all Laahiri, laahiri, laahiri lo…

LEVEL– II
UNIT: FILMS AND THEATRE ‘C’ Reading- A Tribute - slot-1
There are 20 MCQs in section I, II & III(Comprehension, Vocabulary and Grammar)
SECTION – I
The Indian film industry has completed a hundred years in the year 2013.it is a
fitting tribute to the world of cinema to recollect our favourite films, producers,
directors actors, and music and art directors.
Telugu audiences are proud of many great producers, directors and artistes.
Savitri is one such prestigious artiste. Ever since she was eight, she evinced interest in
learning dance. Later she associated herself with the theatre. She formed a theatre
organization as well. She had little difficulty in entering the film field. When Savitri was
twelve, she was offered a role in the film, Agnipareeksha, but was dropped as she looked
too young for the role.
She was given a song sequence- Ranante rane ranu - in ‘Pathala Bhairavi’. Savitri’s
part in it was brief, but the effect of her performance was considerable. Her expressions
were beautiful. A lot of film makers recognized ‘a potential artiste’ in her.
As a result, she was elevated to the role of a heroine by the noted director L. V.
Prasad in the film ‘Samsaaram’(1950). On the sets, she was nervous; she had to repeat
many takes and this proved a setback for her. The role was given to someone else and
she was given a small role of less import.
In the film ‘Devadasu’(1953), [one of] the best picturisation[s] of Saratchandra

Chatterjee’s novel ‘Devadas’. Parvathi comes alive in Savitri. The young Parvathi with
curly hair, a lock of hair straying to her forehead, the large round black berry eyes
looking out from an innocent face left an indelible imprint in the minds of all cine
lovers. She portrayed Devada’s love and the role of a rich man’s wife marvellously.
Savitri left her mark in this ever green Telugu classic.
Savitri established her credentials with ‘Ardhangi’ (1955). She gave an
exceptionally brilliant performance as a woman forced to marry a mentally retarded
person (ANR). She nurses him back to health. She also teaches a lesson to her in-laws
who conspire against her husband.
Savitri captured the audience s with her charm and magnificent acting. She was
able to convey a wide range of feelings through her expressive eyes. Her mischievous
look – it captivates anyone; the look of fake anger provokes, the look filled with real
anger pierces the heart. The look of passion while waiting for her lover; the pain filled
look when her love fails; the confident look that seems to face any situation, all these
myriad emotions are hidden in her eyes. The dimensions are endless and pages can be
filled to describe the magic spell of her eyes.

with a Hindu youth, Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao (NTR) to pretend as a couple in
order to get a job in a school. Mary was a Christian to the core, whereas Rao was a

Savitri was adored for the matchless ease in expression. Meena Kumari,the
heroine of Hindi films said, “when I watch Savitri's acting, I usually get doubts
about my own acting". Her strikingly expressive eyes and her superb sense of timing
made her one of the greatest actresses. Amitabh Bacchan felt, 'Savitri was one of the
first actresses with unbelievable spontaneity'.
Maya Bazaar is another film
that brought fame to Savitri. She
played the role of Sasirekha.
Recollecting the 16-annas Telugu lass
clad in parikini, in the song 'allibilli
ammayiki…' reminds us of the rich
Telugu culture of yesteryears. In the
final part of the film, Savitri plays
the role of Free distribution by T.S.

maya(not real) Sasirekha(Ghatotkacha in disguise).She walks in a masculine manner
imitating the legendary SV Ranga Rao acting as Ghatotkacha in the film to
perfection.
The theatre rocks with laughter when Lakshmana Kumara (Relangi) is teased
by maya Sasirekha. She switches from the feminine to the masculine in the twinkling
of an eye and needless to say, a female artiste displaying masculine demon qualities
with a club in hand has no parallel.
Savitri gets totally involved in whatever role
she plays. 'Chivaraku Migiledi' is one such film. She
played the role of a nurse in a psychiatry ward. In a
particular scene the nurse has a nervous
breakdown and cries uncontrollably. The shot was
over. "CUT", the director said, but Savitri who
played the role could not stop crying! Everyone in
the set had to run to her and pacify her. The film
became a milestone in her career!!
Savitri was awarded the title 'Mahanati' (the
Supreme artiste).She also received the Presidential
award for her performance in 'Chivaraku Migiledi',
the magnum opus of Savitri. She was the recipient of
'Kalaimamani' and 'Nadigayar Tilakam' from Tamil
film industry. Savitri had nearly 300 films to her
credit. Her career was nearly 30 year long. She was
equally admired by Telugu and Tamil film lovers. She also acted in a few Kannada
and Hindi films. She had a lion's share of films when she was at the zenith of her
career. Her passion for films was so strong that she directed and produced a few
films, in spite of certain adversities.
Savitri was a humane artiste. She was generous to the people who were in
need. Once, she donated all the jewellery she was wearing to the Prime Minister's
fund. Her rise as a star was like a meteor. She left the world in 1981 leaving an
envied and unsurpassed legacy behind her.
Savitri is no more. But she is among us with her unforgettable roles. Her
versatility lives on and on and on.
Paying tribute to her, the director and producer Dasari Narayana Rao said:
"... Many artistes are forgotten soon after the death. But, it is not so with
Savitri. SHE WILL BE REMEMBERED AS LONG AS CELLULOID LIVES ON.
'All her films would amount to an 'Album of life' due to their range of themes;
the yen compass human lives and passions in their full diversity. What is cinema? Is
it a fiction or a reality? Many people say many things. But Savitri gave a different
definition. She said that cinema is ' Life'. Life is eternal. So is cinema because life runs
