Simhasanam is a block buster movie starring Krishna in dual appearance and was the first ever Telugu Film made in 70MM stereophonic sound technology. The film has been a huge rage during the time of its release for its high production values, performances, songs and storyline.
Story Details:
The kingdom of Dasharna’s has a brave and able army chief by the name Vikrama Simha (Krishna). Princess Alaknanda Devi (Jayapradha) is in love with him. The chief minister devises plans to dethrone the king and procure the throne for his son. But as long as Vikrama Singha is present, his plans cannot be fulfilled. So he traps Vikrama Simha by getting false witnesses to testify that he has tried to kill the princess. Vikrama Simha is exiled. Meanwhile, the neighboring kingdom of Avanti has the crown prince Aditya Vardhana (Krishna) who looks exactly like Vikrama Simha is very jovial and tries to spend his time with Jaswanthi (Radha), a dancer who dances in the king’s court. The Queen of Avanti is not happy with this behavior of Aditya Vardhana and she tries to change his behavior and she succeeds in that. She always wanted Aditya Vardhana to get married to Alakananda Devi. But when Aditya Vardhana goes for hunting in the forest, he finds Chandana or Vishakanya ( Mandakini) and falls in love with her. Chandana also loves him. Later after some incidents Chandana learns that she is a Vishakanya. She tries to commit Suicide but later is saved by Vikrama Simha. He changes Chandana. Aditya Vardhana convinces Vikrama Simha to rule his kingdom till some problems in the kingdom are solved. Vikrama Simha accepts to that and later returns the throne to Aditya Vardhana. The Raja Guru of Avanti contrives to procure the throne for his son. Aditya Vardhana marries Chandana. Vikrama Simha finally dampens the chief minister’s plans to acquire the throne of Dasharna. Vikrama Simha marries Alakananda Devi.
Performances:
Krishna excels in two contrasting roles of Vikrama Simha and Aditya Vardhana with ease. He looks great in the royal attire and carries the stunts, and emotional scenes very well. Jayaprada does a great job as the female lead and performs well along with glamour quotient. Mandakini, a huge heart throb of Indian Cinema after starring in Raj Kapoor’s Ram Teri Ganga Maili is seen in the film adorning a crucial role of Visha Kanya. Radha is confined to glamour in the role of dancer . Gummadi, M. Balayya, Prabhakar Reddy and Kantha Rao suit their respective roles.
Technical Aspects:
The film was penned by Krishna himself and the veteran writer Tripurineni Maharadhi with great perfection. Music by Bappi Lahari stands out with “Akasamlo Oka Taara” becoming a huge hit. The film is made on high production values and superior technologies. Direction by Krishna is very good.
