S/O Satyamurthy is a 2015 Indian Telugu-language action drama film[5] written and directed by Trivikram Srinivas and produced by S. Radha Krishna under Haarika & Haasine Creations. The film stars Allu Arjun, Upendra, Samantha, Nithya Menen, Sneha, and Adah Sharma while Rajendra Prasad, Sampath Raj, Rao Ramesh, Vennela Kishore, Ali, and Brahmanandam play supporting role.

The film revolves around three characters; the first follows his heart, the second uses his brain and the third uses his brawn. The first is Viraj Anand, the son of a businessman named Satyamurthy, who gives away his assets to creditors after his father's death. A creditor still owed money is Paida Sambasiva Rao (the second of the three), whose daughter Sameera falls in love with Anand. Sambasiva Rao informs Anand that he has to produce documentation of land sold by Satyamurthy to a landlord, Devaraj Naidu (the third of the three) to marry Sameera. The rest of the film focuses on the consequences faced by Anand and Sambasiva Rao's change in viewpoint toward Satyamurthy.

In addition to directing the film, Srinivas wrote its screenplay. Initially planned as a multilingual film shot in Telugu, Malayalam, and Tamil the producers filmed in Telugu and dubbed it into Malayalam with the same title. Devi Sri Prasad composed the score and Prasad Murella was its cinematographer. Production began on 10 April 2014 at Ramanaidu Studios in Hyderabad. Principal photography began on 22 September 2014 in Hyderabad, lasting until mid-March 2015. Except for three songs filmed in Europe, the rest of the film was shot in and around Hyderabad.

The Telugu version was released worldwide on 1375 screens on 9 April 2015, and the Malayalam version was released on 24 April 2015. On a budget, S/O Satyamurthy earned a distributor share of and grossed . The film was an above-average grosser based on the return on the distributors' investment of . It is in seventh place on the all-time list of highest-grossing Telugu films at the global box office. With this film, Allu Arjun became the first Telugu actor with two consecutive films earning more than 50 crore share worldwide.

Plot

Viraj Anand is the youngest son of an influential businessman Satyamurthy, who dies in an accident. Anand has 300 crore ($46.7 million) worth of property and stock, but it is worthless because he owes an equal amount of money. Paida Sambasiva Rao, one of Satyamurthy's creditors, suggests that Anand file for bankruptcy to protect his wealth, but Anand wants to preserve his father's image.

Anand's older brother becomes mentally unstable due to his assistant leaving him and, on Sambasiva Rao's advice, Anand's fiancée Pallavi's father cancels their upcoming wedding. Anand and his family move to a simpler home in Hyderabad, and he becomes the family's sole breadwinner. He joins his friend Bhadram's event-management company as a wedding planner, and his assistant Param goes with him.

Anand is assigned to plan a destination wedding in Ooty, which turns out to be Pallavi's wedding. There, he meets Sameera (also known as Subbalakshmi), a diabetic, and they fall in love.

While planning Pallavi's marriage, Anand faces many difficulties, including an attempt by Pallavi's paternal uncle and his son to stop the marriage because of her father's mistreatment. Anand helps Pallavi's father realise his past mistakes and he and his brother reconcile. Pallavi's father pays Anand five lakhs more than the agreed amount out of gratitude, which solves Anand's financial problems temporarily.

Sameera turns out to be Sambasiva Rao's daughter; the latter objects to their relationship, revealing that Satyamurthy cheated him when he sold a 8000square feet property in the village of Reddiarpatti illegally acquired by land mafia Devaraj Naidu. The current market value of the land is worth 50 crore ($7.8 million). Sambasiva Rao tells Anand that he will agree to the marriage if Anand can retrieve the land documents from Devaraj in four weeks, but Anand insists that he will instead have to seek forgiveness from his dead father.

Bhadram reveals that he knows Devaraj's brother-in-law and arranges for the original land documents to be exchanged with fake ones. Anand and Param set out for house number 6 in Reddiarpatti. Instead, they end up in house number 9 and reveal their intentions to Devaraj, who traps them without harm; Devaraj cannot hurt anyone in front of his wife Lakshmi, from whom he has hidden his true self for 20 years.

Sambasiva Rao's family is kidnapped and brought to Devaraj's house. The next day, Anand saves Devaraj from Kumarasamy Naidu, the brother of his rival Veerasamy Naidu, who was masquerading as Devaraj's henchman for the past 5 years. Impressed, Devaraj agrees to return the land documents if Anand gets engaged to his sister Valli. However, Valli wants to marry Lakshmi's brother Vinay and threatens to kill Anand if he does not break off their engagement.

Valli teases Sameera, acting as if she is in love with Anand (which makes Devaraj happy). Devaraj's brother-in-law Koda Rambabu goes to Reddiarpatti, mistakenly believing that Parandhamaiah aka Param is Sameera's lover and Valli's potential lover. He wants to stop the marriage, and at Anand's suggestion Rambabu and Sambasiva Rao ask Veerasamy to have his henchmen kill the bridegroom; this would stop the marriage on the last day of the 4-week deadline imposed by Sambasiva Rao. Although Anand plans to help Valli elope with her cousin Vinay, Veerasamy's henchmen mistake him for Anand and try to kill him. Devaraj and Anand save her cousin; when Devaraj tries to kill Rambabu, Anand says that he was the mastermind behind the plan and did this all for the real land documents.

9 minutes are left before Sambasiva Rao's deadline; as Anand and Devaraj duel, Anand's mother enters. Devaraj and his family are shocked, remembering that Satyamurthy was fatally injured when he saved Valli from an accident planned by Veerasamy. On his deathbed, Satyamurthy told Valli that he made a mistake selling illegally acquired land to his friend and wanted to rectify it with the landlord. Devaraj and Sambasiva Rao are full of remorse, and Devaraj returns the land documents to Anand, thus fulfilling Satyamurthy's last wish. Anand gives the papers to Sambasiva Rao, who apologises for his behaviour and Sameera reunites with him. Veerasamy dies in an accident and Koda Rambabu is spared.

Anand and Sambasiva Rao are on their way home with their families when Pallavi's father meets them with news that the market value of Anand's stock is now worth 10 crore ($1.56 million) due to which their wealth of 300 crore ($46.7 million) is increased by 10 times more. An emotional Anand thanks his father at the spot where Satyamurthy saved Valli's life. Anand and his family get the house back and live happily while Sameera's father plan for her daughter and Anand's wedding.

Cast

Production

Development

Trivikram Srinivas planned to direct Allu Arjun in a film produced by S. Radha Krishna under Haarika & Haasine Creations (who produced their 2012 collaboration Julai), since Srinivas had committed to another film with them.[6] Allu Aravind was later rumoured to co-produce of the film as Geetha Arts.[7] The film's pooja ceremony was held at Radha Krishna's office in early December 2013, and filming was expected to begin in February 2014.[8] Rumors that the film was shelved were denied by a film-unit source, who said that Srinivas' screenplay was nearly complete.[9] Devi Sri Prasad was chosen to compose the score and Prawin Pudi was signed as the film editor, marking Pudi's fifth collaboration with Srinivas.[10] [11]

The film was officially launched at Ramanaidu Studios in Hyderabad on 10 April 2014.[12] [13] [14] In June, the film's title was rumoured to be Kavacham.[15] After considerable discussion, the producers reportedly tentatively planned to name the film Trisulam (also the title of a 1982 Telugu film starring Krishnam Raju and Sridevi). Agreements between the principals of both films were reportedly signed in early November 2014.[16] Radhakrishna denied the reports, saying that the film's title would be announced in early December 2014 with its preview.[17] Trivikram reportedly considered the title Hushaaru in mid-January 2015.[18] Another title under consideration was Jaadugar, earlier used for a 1989 Hindi film starring Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Prada.[19]

The producers reportedly dropped the first two titles after poor feedback, and Jaadugar was expected to be chosen;[20] S/O Krishnamurthy was also considered.[21] S/O Satyamurthy (read as Son of Satyamurthy) was confirmed as the film's title on 6 March 2015 in a press release from the producers.[22] The film was initially planned for simultaneous release in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam.[23] [24] A dubbed Kannada version, along with Tamil and Malayalam, later was planned because of Upendra and Allu Arjun's popularity in Karnataka.[25]

Although the dubbed Malayalam version was also entitled S/O Satyamurthy, the dubbed Tamil and Kannada versions were scrapped for fiscal reasons and it was released in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka with English subtitles.[26] Arjun began dubbing his role in early January,[27] and post-production was scheduled to resume in late February.[28] The actor resumed dubbing on 7 March, after returning from Spain.[29]

Casting

Allu Arjun was part of the project since its initial stages in early November 2013. Samantha Ruth Prabhu was cast as one of the film's heroines, her first collaboration with Arjun.[30] S/O Satyamurthy has three female leads; although Arjun initially denied this,[31] [32] Srinivas confirmed that the film has three heroines.[33] Kriti Sanon was rumoured to be one of the three female leads, although she later denied it.[34] Adah Sharma and Pranitha Subhash were cast as the other two female leads,[35] [36] after Regina Cassandra,[37] [38] Nayantara[39] and Rashi Khanna were considered for Subhash's role.[40] Subhash was later replaced by Nithya Menen because of conceptual differences with Srinivas,[41] [42] although she later said that she never signed for the film and reports that she had walked out were rumours.[43]

Rao Ramesh was cast in a crucial role.[44] Although Arjun Sarja was reported to be the film's antagonist in mid-August 2014,[45] [46] Sarja later confirmed that he was not part of the project due to other commitments.[47] Sneha confirmed in mid-September 2014 that she had an important role in the film.[48] Upendra and Rajendra Prasad were said to play important roles in the film,[49] and Upendra later confirmed his inclusion.[50] Vennela Kishore and Surekha Vani were selected to play supporting roles. Kota Srinivasa Rao was cast at the end of November 2014,[51] and Mamilla Shailaja Priya was cast in a supporting role.[52]

Supporting character actor M. S. Narayana died after most of his portions in the film was completed. Although Srinivas decided not to delete any of his scenes, he faced a dilemma: whether to use a double or make do with what he had filmed.[53] After evaluating many mimics, Srinivas and Arjun reportedly decided to use Siva Reddy to dub for Narayana's role.[54] Sampath Raj was cast in early February 2015.[55]

Characters

S/O Satyamurthy was considered an image makeover for Arjun.[56] Although his character's name (Viraj Anand) was intended for another role in the film, he requested Srinivas to use the name for the titular character's son.[57] Arjun learned flips, somersaults and other gymnastic skills to perform his stunts.[58] He, his brother Allu Sirish and stylist Ashwin bought his costumes in Dubai, and he lost 10kg (20lb) with a customised diet and workout.[59] [60] Sneha was rumoured to play Arjun's sister-in-law.[61]

Upendra was confirmed in a role paralleling Arjun's in the film,[62] and Sharma reportedly wore a traditional attire to suit her role. Sharma's character was revealed to be unstable, while Arjun's character was nuanced;[63] he was confirmed as an event manager in late October 2014.[64] Nithya Menen would reportedly play a negative role as Upendra's sister in the film.[65] About Arjun's look, stylist Ashwin said it would reflect the current fashion trends in Milan, Paris and London (incorporating pieces from the autumn-winter 2014 and spring-summer 2015 collections).[66]

Ashwin said that they shopped in Dubai because Arjun wanted to select his costumes, and the European capitals at that time had only winter collections. Arjun would have several hairstyles in the film. Upendra's role was reported to be a Tamil living in Madurai,[67] and he was confirmed as the landlord at the end of January 2015.[68] He was not included in the film's promotional activities since Srinivas did not want to reveal what he considered a crucial character. The way Kamal Haasan and Wasim Akram handled diabetes in real life inspired Srinivas to make Samantha's character diabetic in the film.[69] Samantha was comfortable in the role, since she too had been diagnosed with the disease two years earlier.[70]

Prakash Raj had a limited role, since Srinivas wanted to tell the story of a father by not showing him but instead showing his son's love and his influence on his life. The death of Sampath Raj's character was an accident because Srinivas did not believe in killing his antagonists directly, but to have them die as a result of their mistakes. Srinivas added that his death was planned so the film would have a good ending.

Filming

In early December 2013 it was announced that filming would begin the following February, after Arjun finished Race Gurram. At the end of March 2014, shooting was postponed to the following month and it was later announced that filming would start during the third week of April. In June, filming was again postponed to the following month, when Arjun was scheduled to finish Rudramadevi;[71] he completed the film on 30 July.[72]

Principal photography began on 19 September at a Hyderabad-based shopping mall.[73] Samantha arrived at the set on 1 October 2014, after completing Kaththi,[74] and Sharma joined the production unit five days later.[75] A week-long shooting schedule planned at Ooty for scenes with Arjun, Upendra, Samantha and Sneha was disrupted because of unrest in Tamil Nadu due to Jayalalithaa's conviction, and the scenes were filmed near Shamshabad in Hyderabad.[76] [77] Art director Ravinder built a large outdoor set for the destination-wedding scene, with flowers flown in from Bangkok.[78]

A fight scene with Arjun was shot at Ramoji Film City under the supervision of Peter Hein.[79] A residential set was built at a cost of 3 crore by Ravinder in Kokapet, where scenes with Brahmanandam and Srinivasa Rao were filmed in late November 2014.[80] The Kokapet set, of a Tamil house in Madurai, required three truckloads of trees from a farmhouse in Kadiam (near Rajahmundry) and materials from Delhi and Chennai. For the set, Srinivas and Ravinder travelled to a small city near Madurai and researched houses. By then, filming was nearly complete and the producers confirmed that the dialogue would be finished by the end of November and the songs shot the following month.

Filming was suspended because of a strike by Film Federation employees and the Memu Saitham Cyclone Hudhud relief fundraiser at Visakhapatnam. The strike was called off, and shooting resumed on 6 December.[81] [82] When Upendra finished his first shooting schedule for the film, he returned to the set of Uppi 2 on 10 December.[83] In addition to Arjun's action sequences,[84] Some more scenes were filmed at Ramoji Film City.[85] Comedy sequences featuring Arjun and Samantha were shot at Hyderabad in late December.[86]

Arjun spent the New Year with his wife and son in South Africa, and was scheduled to return to the set during the second week of January 2015.[87] The final shooting schedule began on 6 January in Hyderabad.[88] Additional filming of action and romantic scenes began on 20 January.[89] S/O Satyamurthy climactic scenes were filmed on the Kokapet house set in late January.[90]

Shooting was scheduled to continue there until the first week of February, when the dialogue would be completed. A fight scene with Arjun and hundreds of other fighters was filmed in early February,[91] and Upendra returned to the Hyderabad set for his scenes.[92] A song, choreographed by Shekhar and featuring Arjun, Samantha and Menen, was filmed on the Kokapet house set in late February.[93] The film unit then went to Spain to film three songs[94] also featuring Arjun, Samantha and Menen, returning on 6 March.[95] S/O Satyamurthy principal photography completed when the last song (choreographed by Jani and featuring Arjun, Samantha and Sharma) was filmed on 11 March 2015 in a specially erected set at Annapurna Studios.[96]

Themes and influences

Although S/O Satyamurthy was reportedly about a conflict between two families,[97] according to Upendra it revolves around three characters: one who follows his heart, a second who uses his brain and a third who uses his brawn. The characters are a wedding planner (Arjun), a wealthy businessman (Prasad) and a boss (Upendra).[98] Srinivas told the Indo-Asian News Service that his film would highlight a father's role in a person's life, because more films dramatise relationships with mothers.[99] S/O Satyamurthy has urban and rural settings similar to the director's previous film, Attarintiki Daredi (2013).

The film refers to situations in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata in the lives of Rama, Sita, Ravana, Yudhishthira and Karna and to the dowry system. Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote in her review that the film "attempts to break away from staid portrayal of women and notions of machismo in Telugu cinema". Upendra's character wants his wife to be happy, and hides his dark side from her; Samantha's character is diabetic, and the wall full of post-it notes in Rajendra Prasad's house illustrates marriages where communication has broken down. Dundoo notes lines of dialogue which "scoff" at people who call a girl unlucky if her engagement is broken.

For the scenes between M. S. Narayana and Rao Ramesh, Srinivas was inspired by his mother's maternal uncles in the village of Vegeswarapuram in West Godavari district.[100] In an interview, the director said that the screenplay was based on situations faced by people close to him and how they handled them.

Music

The soundtrack was scheduled to be released on 18 March.[101] The complete album was released on 21 March 2015, coinciding with the Ugadi celebrations, on the H. I. C. C. Novotel Hotel in Hyderabad.[102]

S/O Satyamurthy release date was originally scheduled for 20 February 2015 in late November 2014,[103] and was later postponed to 2 April (after the 2015 Cricket World Cup) due to post-production delays.[104] [105] After the film's review by the censors on 30 March 2015, its release date was rescheduled for 9 April.[106]

S/O Satyamurthy was one of the rare Telugu films to be released in Tamil Nadu with English subtitles.[107] The film was confirmed for release on 100 screens across Karnataka, at the same time as Rana Vikrama.[108] Its global screen count was 1375, the largest Telugu film release of the year; however, it did not break the record 1450 screens set by 2014's Aagadu.[109] S/O Satyamurthy dubbed Malayalam version was released on 24 April.[110] The Hindi dubbing rights of the film were bought by Goldmines Telefilms. At first, the Hindi dubbed version was titled as Bunny – The Perfect Gentleman, later the title was changed to Son of Satyamurthy and had a theatrical release in 2016. Allu Arjun's voice was dubbed by Sanket Mhatre.[111]

S/O Satyamurthy overseas theatrical rights were sold to Classics Entertainment for an undisclosed sum in late October 2014,[112] and days later its Karnataka rights were also sold for an undisclosed price.[113] Dil Raju acquired the Nizam regional rights for 14 crore, one of the highest prices paid for Nizam rights to a film.[114] Bhopal Reddy acquired the Karnataka regional distribution rights for 6 crore.[115] The film's theatrical rights were sold for a total of 54 crore.[116]

In a press release, the producers announced that the film's promotion would be in full swing at the soundtrack release party, with party passes awarded to those predicting the sixteen actors on the preview poster.[120]

Its 45-second advance-preview video was released on 7 March,[121] receiving a good response on YouTube (where it was viewed by more than 300,000 people within 12 hours of its release).[122] The film's logo was disclosed the following day.[123] Thirty-one-second 2D and 3D motion posters featuring Arjun, created by Prawin Pudi and designed by Siva Kiran of Working Title, were released on 9 March and two preview posters of Arjun were distributed the following day.[124] [125] [126]

Critical response

S/O Satyamurthy had a lukewarm reception from critics, with the International Business Times calling the film a "mass entertainer" and criticising its predictability and length.[162] According to Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu, "We've seen enough films with characters placed in the villain's den. Thankfully, the drama is lively and fun moments come through Ali and Brahmanandam. Allu Arjun shoulders the film with his remarkable performance and seems to be getting better with each film. The film's biggest undoing is its length. A trimmer version would be far more engaging".[163] Pranitha Jonnalagedda of The Hans India wrote, "No denying that there are moments of crazy laughter, witty remarks and some thought-provoking words, but Trivikram's benchmark is set so high that the writing of this film doesn't excite us enough. All said and done, if you are a lover of a Telugu cinema who enjoys watching the hero being the Good Samaritan and fancy a few tear-jerking moments, this film is definitely for you!"[164] IndiaGlitz gave S/O Satyamurthy 4.25 out of five stars, calling the film a "family entertainer sans memorable heroism" and adding that its second half "will work with a good many number of audience".[165] Madhavi Tata of Outlook India gave the film three out of five stars, writing that Trivikram's screenplay "has too many sub-plots, but the dialogues sparkle, especially when mouthed by veteran actors". Tata called the film's humour a "big draw", with the best saved for Brahmanandam.[166] Hemanth Kumar of The Times of India gave S/O Satyamurthy three out of five stars, writing that the film "works well as an idea, and leaves you with enough questions and thoughts to reflect upon your own life, but as a cinematic experience, it leaves a lot to be desired".[167] Pravallika Anjuri of Oneindia also gave the film three out of five stars, calling it a "perfect entertainer" despite being the "weakest work of Trivikram till date": "Nevertheless it is shall be a great fun to watch Son of Satyamurthy along with your family. Cut down the expectations and you will definitely love the movie".[168] Behindwoods gave it 2.75 out of five stars: "Without a concrete villain, [the film] still manages to tell us the painful journey of the hero. Thanks to the powerful and meaningful dialogues in the voice-over, [the film] becomes a charming drama", calling it a "family drama that also entertains" and "another winner for the Trivikram-Allu Arjun combo".[169]

Suresh Kavirayani of Deccan Chronicle gave S/O Satyamurthy 2.5 out of five stars: "Trivikram has continued the Attarintiki Daredi trend of rich-kid-giving-up-luxuries in this film too. But, the hallmark of the director is missing from this movie. The punch dialogues associated with his films are missing and the screenplay is so-so".[170] Karthik Keramalu of CNN-IBN also gave the film 2.5 out of five stars, calling it an "inconsistent drama with over-the-top action and a grand message" and adding: "If only the screenplay had matched the quality of Allu Arjun's style, which is impeccably taken care of, Trivikram would have won the S/O Satyamurthy lottery".[171] IANS gave S/O Satyamurthy two out of five stars: "While all the quintessential Trivikram trademark moments can be found in S/O Satyamurthy, what you miss is the magic he created in his career's best film Athadu", adding that the film is a "predictable and sloppy family drama with a few high and mostly low moments".[172]

Legacy

A dialogue from the film, Maa nanna drushtilo, bharyante nacchi techukune badhyata, pillalu moyyalanipinche baruvu. Kani naa drushtilo nannante marchipoleni gnapakam ("According to my father, a wife is a voluntary duty and kids are the burden we love to bear. But for me, my father is an unforgettable memory") was spoofed by the producers of the film Kobbari Matta in its promotion.[175] Sakshi published a spoof of the film on 19 May 2015 in which Prakash Raj was replaced by Brahmanandam as the protagonist's father, who tells his son not to follow ethics and values but to give importance only to money.[176]
