తోడికోడళ్ళు (1957)

Curiosidades

Thodi Kodallu (transl. Sisters-in-law) is a 1957 Indian Telugu-language drama film directed and edited by Adurthi Subba Rao, who co-wrote the script with D. Madhusudhana Rao and Acharya Aatreya. Madhusudhana Rao produced the film for Annapurna Pictures. It stars Akkineni Nageswara Rao and Savitri, with music composed by Master Venu. It is a remake of the 1953 Bengali film Nishkriti, which itself is based on the eponymous novel by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. It was simultaneously made in the Tamil language as Engal Veettu Mahalakshmi. Both films were made by the same banner and director, and share some of the cast and scenes.

Production

After the success of Donga Ramudu, producer D. Madhusudhana Rao wanted to continue his success by collaborating again with Nageswara Rao and wanted K. V. Reddy to direct the film. Reddy was busy with prior commitments and suggested Adurthi Subba Rao; however, Nageswara Rao claimed that he had suggested Subba Rao as the director.

An avid fan of literature, Madhusudhana Rao bought the rights to the Bengali novel Nishkriti by Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay. He wrote the screenplay along with Acharya Athreya and Subba Rao, retaining the major characters and situations from the original novel but making changes to suit local sensibilities, such as changing the character of the second brother from a lawyer to a caretaker of farmland.
