All-time Blockbusters [Part I] - Premabhishekam (February 18, 1981) (2 of 12)

Premabhishekam (February 18, 1981) Perhaps the most profound blockbuster in Telugu, Premabhishekam created mass hysteria. If NTR-Raghavendra Rao cast a spell on the viewers, then ANR-Dasari Narayana Rao laughed their way to the bank. Produced under Annapurna Studios, the movie had a smooth 100 day run at 30 centres and finished 75 weeks at 3 centres, no less. Akkineni's lover-boy image is stamped in the Telugu cinegoer's mind till date.
