Hero Krishna’s 1973 classic Alluri Sitaramaraju is memorable in Tripuraneni Maharadhi’s body of film work. The patriotic, idealistic and inspiring dialogues in the film were imbued with a rare fervour in Krishna’s quivering voice. Note the resonance and poetic quality of the exchange of words between Ruthorford (Jaggaiah) and Alluri (Krishna) in the climax scene from the film.
