The Telugu Film Industry and its makers have never shied away from experimenting when it comes to films. There have been numerous experimental films in the history of Tollywood, with varying degrees of success. One such unforgettable and spectacular classic is Aditya 369, which completes 30 years of its release today. Aditya 369 was directed by legendary filmmaker Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, and Nandamuri Balakrishna and Mohini played the leading roles in the film.
Aditya 369 is the first film in the history of Indian cinema to experiment with the concept of time travelling. The story of Aditya 369 is all about how a couple ends up in a time machine created by Professor Ramdas – that can travel to the past and to the present – and what sort of problems they face. The film has been a pioneer in Indian cinema and a wonder that no one has been able to recreate.
To date, Aditya 369 remains one of the most popular and frequently watched Telugu films, and a beloved film by the audiences as well. Aditya 369 is that rare family film that can be enjoyed by all age groups while continuing to experiment with its genre and tropes. The music of Aditya 369, provided by legendary music director Ilayaraaja, also continues to be iconic even now.
