It held the record of being the longest-running Telugu film at theatres in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Across theatres it had an uninterrupted theatrical run of 2+1⁄2 years in Bangalore. The song Ye Theega Poovuno became popular. ## Credits - **Director:** [K. Balachander](https://cinepixo.com/people/k-balachander) - **Original Music Composer:** [M. S.
