Aa Naluguru (meaning “Those Four People”) is a 2004 Telugu drama directed by Chandra Siddhartha, produced by Sarita Patra and presented by P. Prem Kumar under Prem Movies. Rajendra Prasad plays an idealistic newspaper editor, with Aamani as his wife and Kota Srinivasa Rao as a cynical moneylender. R. P. Patnaik composed the music. Released on 9 December 2004, it won the Nandi Award for Best Feature Film (Gold) and Nandi Awards for Rajendra Prasad and Kota Srinivasa Rao, and was remade in Kannada as Sirivantha (2006).
What the story is about
The film begins after a death. Raghuram has died, and in the afterlife he asks the messengers of death to let him watch his own funeral, expecting his family and friends to be grieving. Instead he is shocked by their indifference and their preoccupation with money. He tells the messengers his story: a newspaper editor and committed altruist who always put others first, gave away much of what he earned, and refused to compromise his principles, to the frustration of his family and the scorn of a loan shark, Kotaiah, who insists money matters more than humanity. What his life actually meant to the people around him is the question the film answers.
