Balam Movie Review :
Balam, Aravind Vinod and Deepachari are in lead character. The hero bets on each thing. The hero who is out of work, having a bet is his simply amusement. At one top of point in time there is a wage on the young woman who he loves. Whether he won the put money on or not is the account of this motion picture.
Before loosing out to other equally attractive foreign locales in the early ninties, Ooty in Tamil Nadu, was the most favored outdoor location for our film-makers. This hill station on Niligiri hills was so popular that it became an un-written norm of Telugu Cinema to shoot at least few songs there.
But the locations and facilities available in the queen of hill stations were little known to our film fraternity till Annapoorna Pictures first shot its super-hit film Mangalya Balam there. The top honchos of Annapoorna Pictures—Duggipati Madhusudhana Rao, Adurthi Subba Rao, and A.N.R. — were apparently spellbound by its beauty during their pilot visit and thought of shooting a significant portion of this film in a months schedule. But after shooting the famous Vaadina Poolee Vikasinchanee song on the lead pair (A.N.R. and Savithri), the unit had to leave the hill station because of the adverse weather. But the unit did not return to Ooty again as planned as Savithri was carrying by the time the weather returned to normalcy.
Trivia:
*Mangalya Balam is based on a Bengali Novel Agnipariksha written by Aasaapoorna Devi.
