Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Manthast Absolutely amazing

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Samrudh David What a film this is. This is one of the greatest ever Indian films, if not " The greatest Indian film " without any doubt.K.V.Reddy Garu did an outstanding job as a director. Screenplay is extraordinary. The way the story is executed is excellent.The cinematography is simply outstanding.NTR Garu, ANR Garu, Savitri Garu are simply superb in the lead roles. S.V.Ranga Rao Garu's performance is outstanding. All the remaining actors & actresses are superb too.The special effects in the film are excellent and are really surprising as this one is produced way back in the 1950s.Finally, this film is just " OUTSTANDING " & everyone should watch this for sure.

sinful-2 First I will start saying I watched the shorter color only around 162 min. I would have liked to see the full version but this was the one I could get my hands on.Honestly I was very doubtful I would enjoy this movie before watching it. But I had some hopes since I always like good adventure and mythology movies.I was a bit confused in the start about some of the characters as I am not knowing much about the Hindi religion and do not have one drop of Indian blood in me. But I thought the story was inviting and moving ahead at a good pace and you got interested in getting deeper into it and find out what would happen. After a while you find out the main problem in the movie. At that time you are not one second in doubt how it will end for the two young lovers, but you cannot foresee the exiting journey to the end.I would call this movie a romantic adventure comedy. The romance is the main thing in the movie. But when you see that there are gods involved you already know it will not be without magic.The music in the movie is fine. I am honestly not a lover of this type of singing/dancing but the acting was good and it was used to progress the story and there was not too much of it in my opinion. If you do hate the singing/dancing then you can use those moments to get some fresh coffee :-)The acting in the movie was great by those that meant most to the story line and I had a good time with the movie and some laughs. Some day if I see the full length movie I will most likely give it a try.I would recommend this movie to people that love a good adventure with some magic included. I was fascinated by this movie and it really should be much better known by people outside India.

Rbvsp I have seen this film as a child with my parents. I have watched this film with my Children. Thanks to the digitally remastered and colorized version released on 30th January 2010 making my job easier to suggest my grandchildren to look out for this film. Despite the limited technology during 1950s, Maya Bazaar can still get the attention of even current generations and get them by surprise with its cinematography, art direction and visual effects. No wonder CNN-IBN poll conducted in May 2013 listed it as the greatest Indian movie of all time. I don't think any review can cover even a fraction of Maya Bazar's details. It may not be out of the way to mention here that Singer P.Leela once said in an interview that while recording the songs of this film, one of the songs sung by her took 28 takes and the fifth was finalized by the Music Director Ghantasala who took over the position after the initial Music director S.Rajeswara Rao opted out of the project. As per the sourced information, S.Rajeswararao composed the tunes for four songs: "Srikarulu Devathalu", "Lahiri Lahiri", "Choopulu Kalisina Shubhavela" and "Neekosame" which were orchestrated by Ghantasala besides composing the rest of the film's soundtrack and the entire background score. Though each frame of this Film is a story by itself, I liked the sequence of evicting Subhadra by her brothers, the song during their Journey and particularly the War with Ghatotkacha and Abhimanyu where in the character Subhadra (Rushyendramani) picks up a poem angrily mentioning that she is the sister of Krishna and Balarama and also the wife of Arjuna making Ghatotkacha ( S.V.Ranga Rao) to realize that it is his cousin Abhimanyu (ANR) with whom he is in war with. That's just one out several impactive sequences. It's hard to mark the film's genre as the story involves all aspects from the genres of action to drama and comedy to science fiction. Big Salute to all those great people behind this greatest Indian movie of all time, whichever the world they are in today.

pnvrkprasad Mayabazar is among the best movies in the world, no compare.Each and every scene is wonderful in the movie. SVR, Savitri, NTR nobody can replace them in those roles. KVReddy screenplay is put in one of USA film schools as reference. music by ghantasala is sweety. dialogs by pingali are unparalleled till now. he introduced some new telugu words like tasmadeeyude etc. It is amazing with how much ease SVR acts. No one can act better than SVR in this role. Savtri is equally good. will never be bored to watch this movie or songs from this movie n number of times.plot: During the period of exile which the five Pandavas must face, Arjuna (one of the Pandavas) sends one of his wives, Subhadra, and their son Abhimanyu to Dwaraka — where her two elderbrothers — the Lord Shri Krishna (played by film actor N. T. Rama Rao) and Balarama reign. Sasirekha (played by actress Savithri) is Balarama's daughter and is in love with Abhimanyu (played by actor A. N. R.) since childhood; and their parents had decided and promised that the two of them should get married when they become old enough to marry. However, ten years later, when both Sasirekha and Abhimanyu becomes of age for marriage, Balarama and his wife decide to change their decision. Balarama's wife is a greedy woman who wants her daughter to be married to Duryodhana's (Kaurava leader) son Laxmankumar (played by actor Relangi Venkata Ramaiah), as Abhimanyu's father - Arjuna had lost his kingdom; while Balarama has soft corner towards Duryodhana (as he is Balarama's student and disciple). But Sasireka, Lord Krishna and Subhadra oppose this change of plans. Now Krishna asks Subhadra to approach Ghatotkacha (Son of Bhima, a Pandava) — who possesses magical powers of Asuras (His mother is an Asura) — who will readily come to their help. Now Ghatotkacha (S.V.Ranga Rao) goes to the place where the marriage is scheduled and disguises himself as Sasirekha (through magical powers) and send away the real Sasireka to the place where Abhimanyu and company are camping. When Laxmankumar approaches Ghatotkacha thinking her to be Sasireka he gets the shock of his life, as it is a demon and not the beauty! Ghatotkacha uses all sorts of tricks to scare Laxmankumar into backing out of the marriage. Towards the end, Ghatotkacha displays his magic(Maya) to Duryodhana and his evil-minded kinsmen and drives them back to Hastinapura (Duryodhana's capital).
