Maryada Ramanna is a 2010 Telugu action comedy film directed by S. S. Rajamouli starring Sunil and Saloni Aswani in lead roles.[2] This film is remake of kannada movie Balagalittu Olage Baa, an adaptation of Buster Keaton's 1923 film, Our Hospitality.[3][4] This is the second film for Sunil as a hero.[5] The film opened to favourable reviews by critics.[6][7]

Maryada Ramanna has been remade in Tamil as Vallavanukku Pullum Aayudham starring Santhanam and Ashna Zaveri in the lead roles. It is remade in Malayalam as Ivan Maryadaraman with Dileep. A Bengali movie Fande Poriya Boga kande Re (2012) is inspired by Maryada Ramanna. “Anatagaitekoso” which is Maryada Ramanna with Japanese subtitle will be on screen on 26 July 2014 in Japan.

Plot

Faction feud in Rayalseema results in the death of Ramineedu's (V. Nagineedu) brother and he, along with his two sons Mallasuri (Supreeth Reddy) and Baireddy (Venugopal), vow for revenge. Time turns 28 years and comes to Hyderabad. Here lives Ramu (Sunil), an innocent and somewhat unlucky guy whose parents are no more and is ousted out of his job. His life takes a turn with a correspondence that he has got five acres of land in his hometown in Andhra Pradesh. He decides to sell that land and sets off to the village. In this process, he also meets Aparna (Saloni Aswani) who is the daughter of Ramineedu. However, much to Ramu's bad luck, he happens to be the son of the man who killed Ramineedu's brother and he ends up in their home itself. He takes advantage of a tradition of their house that not even one drop of blood should fall inside the house. Whether he comes alive out of their hands or not forms the rest of the story.

The first copy of Our Hospitality entered Indian Cinema through Kannada Movie Balagaalittu Olage Baa directed by Dinesh Baboo in 2002 and later in Telugu as Maryada Ramanna in 2010 and once again back to Kannada and other Indian languages.

Cast

Production

Rajamouli said "I decided that my next project would be Maryada Ramanna during the Magadheera shooting itself because it is a 1 and half year project that demands lot of physical labor and mental strain. I didn't want to commit another physically exhausting film immediately after Magadheera. Maryada Ramanna gave us time to recharge our batteries so that we could come up with another huge project." He also revealed the film's plot on the film's launch to minimize the expectations of the audience because of this film's success.

Reception

The critic Raghu Chaitanya from CNN-IBN said "The climax is perhaps the only drawback in the entire movie as the director opts to take the clichéd path of emotions and love. Sunil perfectly fits the bill as the innocent guy who comes back to sell his land and make money. This is a very good role for Saloni and she excels as the girl who falls for Ramu. Newcomer Nagineedu who plays the patriarch of the enemy camp is impressive and Brahmaji does a good job as Aparna's cousin. Overall, Maryada Ramanna is a whiff of fresh air that keeps the viewers engaged and offers them clean entertainment. SS Rajamouli emerges a winner showing that he can make good movies without huge budgets and big star cast."[9] The Times of India gave a two and half stars explained "Comedian Sunil, who turned hero with Andalaramudu few years ago this time returns with another roaring comic flick and puts in a restrained performance. However, a well-designed set, great cinematography and mellifluous tunes by Keeravani takes this comic caper to a different plane."[10] Sify which gave a verdict as "Worth a watch" further noted "Sunil would no longer look like a comedy hero. His dances are simply superb, Saloni is beautiful and holds natural sex appeal. It is unfortunate that her talents remained undetected for the last three years, but for Rajamouli, now. She performed with perfection all through the movie. Definitely, she awaits a bright future hereafter, it seems. Maryada Ramanna has a judicious mix of fun, thrill and suspense."[11] Rediff gave a three stars, commented "Maryada Ramanna is thoroughly enjoyable. Rajamouli sure has a winner on his hands. Sunil is able to captivate the audience and Saloni looks pretty and is convincing too. Nagineedu portrays the role brilliantly. There are quite a few others like Brahmaji, Anuj Gurwara and Rao Ramesh who perform well."[12]

Box office

The film grossed ₹10 million (US$150,000) in its first weekend of release in the United States.[13] The film collected a share of ₹105.8 million (US$1.6 million) (after tax and theatre rentals) within 7 days in India.[14] Over all the film managed to gross about ₹300 million (US$4.5 million) and was one among the top grossers of the year 2010.[15]
