Not Everyone Has the Same 24 Hours

During his lifetime, legendary filmmaker "Darshakaratna" Dasari Narayana Rao garu—a Guinness World Record holder—directed 151 films.

In 1980, 1981, and 1982, for three consecutive years, he made 10 films per year.

And no, these weren’t rushed or careless productions. Nearly 80% of them became hits, super hits, or Silver Jubilee films.

Classics like Swapna, Srivari Muchatlu, Circus Ramudu, Sardar Paparayudu, and Seetaramaulu belong to that list. Even Hindi films like Yeh Kaisa Insaaf and Jyoti Bane Jwala came out during the same period.

Cut to today.

If it was possible to make so many films in the era of film negatives, why is it so hard to make even one film a year in this digital age?

Cinema rewards courage, not comfort.
