There are hits, there are super hits and then there are blockbusters. New trends flag off, new people emerge as stars and superstars, new box-office records are created. One blockbuster defines an entire career, and several flops and average runs of an actor/director are forgiven more easily. Lady Luck loves some people, and those people created several records. But let's examine the huge memorable/defining blockbusters of modern Telugu cinema.
Adavi Ramudu (April 28, 1977)
The name Nandamuri is synonymous with the beginning of the mass era, especially teamed with movie maverick K. Raghavendra Rao. Adding all frills and thrills necessary to a blockbuster, the duo gave the blockbuster Adavi Ramudu. The 3rd Telugu movie to collect a crore with a 100 day run in 32 centres (a recently broken record) and even a 300+ run in a theatre (Alankar) in Vizag!
