Adi Shankaracharya is well known not only in India but the rest of the world. He lived around 1100 years ago and has worked greatly for the benefit of Hindu society. His life is pure and beyond question. He is an inspiration to all human beings. G.V.Iyer has captured the mood of the times of Adi Shankara so well that we feel that we are leaving in a bygone era while watching the movie. It is taken as an art movie more than a commercial movie and is a treat to watch. Selection of actors is also good, also the locations and the narration.

The language and the scenes in the movie depict the times and is not influenced by the present condition. Also there is no exaggeration which is attempted in the movie. G.V.Iyer has also taken movies like Madhvacharya, Ramanujacharya, Bhagavad Gita, Shantala, Swami Vivekananda, Hamsa Geethe to name a few. All the movies are simple, but the message and mood is definitely out of the world experience. Hope our new trend of directors will imbibe from the likes of G.V.Iyer which I feel is a real tribute to the master.

Please sign the petition Date: October 28, 2012 Location: Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India Dear Brahmins and Hindus, A local court on Tuesday directed the Saifabad police to book a case against film actor-producer M Mohan Babu, hero Manchu Vishnu Kumar, comedian Brahmanandam and director Nageswara Reddy for their latest film 'Denikaina Ready'.

A group of Brahmin associations approached the court stating that their community had been portrayed in a derogatory manner in several scenes in the Denikaina Ready movie. The court after hearing the arguments, directed the police to book a case against the film unit. On Monday, Brahmins staged a protest in front of Mohan Babu’s house in Hyderabad in protest against the derogatory portrayal of their community in the movie. Several people under the banner of Brahmin Seva Samiti alleged that many scenes in the movie have degraded Brahmins and demanded that the scenes be deleted.

However, Mohan Babu rebutted their allegations and even alleged that those gathered in front of his house were not original Brahmins and they might have come to extort money from him. Please sign the petition for banning the movie and demanding a public apology from Mohan Babu and his son Manchu Vishnu. Source: Management, Brahmin Voice [signature].
