Tiger Harischandra Prasad is a 2003 Indian Telugu-language action drama film directed by V. Samudra starring Nandamuri Harikrishna, Ramya Krishna, Dasari Arun Kumar and Sangeetha. The film is based on the problems of peasants.[1]
The film received pre-release hype,[2] but it was released to mixed reviews. This film marked Posani Krishna Murali's sixth collaboration with Nandamuri Harikrishna and their only unsuccessful film.[3]
The film was produced by P. Naga Lakshmi, who previously produced Aadi (2002).[1] In October 2003, the film was shot in Chilakaluripet, Guntur (at Jinnah Tower) and Narasaraopet.[4] As of 24 November 2003, the shooting of the film was complete except for two songs.[1]
The soundtrack was composed by S. A. Rajkumar.[5]
Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu wrote that "Harikrishna gets a tailor made role well cut out for his style of acting, with rugged appeal. But some frivolous scenes including the comedy featuring Brahmanandam and Kovai Sarala, puts the film on a sidetrack".[6] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film three out of five and wrote that "The last 20 minutes of the film is impressive. The rest of the film is narrated in old fashion. This film would take Hari Krishna close to the masses".[7] In a negative review, a critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "This might've as well been a B-grade Narayana Murthy revolutionary pain, but one doesn't associate pains with Ramya Krishna around. But that's the pain: she's hardly around. This seems like an emerging trend in Tollywood. Not Ramya Krishna's absence, but movies with social messages".[8]
