This artist holds magic in his pen. A story writer, a lyric writer
– a proud one from the Telugu Film
industry’s birthday falls today. With many movies to his credit, he
stepped into the film industry in the early 1950’s. His style of writing always
established a good ‘connect’ with his audience. His audience would think and
absorb the kind of messages he is trying to convey through his songs. Fondly
known as Acharya Atreya, this Telugu lyric writer is also bestowed with the honour
of a Doctorate Degree by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University of Hyderabad
for his immense contribution to the Telugu literature.
A wonderful song that strikes us while talking
about his wonderful contributions is the song ‘Priyathma’ from the movie Prema.
‘Swathi Muthiyam’ ofcourse was a famous one with many songs from the music
album becoming famous. ‘Chinnari Ponneri’ and ‘Rama Kanavemira’ is ofcourse one
of the best and the most apt ones amongst them.
Acharya Atreya did not restrict himself with writing
just songs. He was infact a part of the Venkatagiri Amateurs stage group and
wrote many a plays for them. His interest just did not involve writing for the
movie but he also constantly kept himself well- aware of the famous historical
incidents around the world. He has even written about Gautama Buddha. Culture ,
religion , history etc too were other subjects he focused on. Infact this man
also had a strong curiosity to direct one film which he went ahead and
followed. The movie was called Vagdanam and was released in the year 1961. The
movie was accepted pretty well in the industry too.
The amazing writer contributed in many ways for
the betterment of the Indian Film Industry. It is such an honour to have had a
person of such great geniuses as a part of us.
