Chitram! Bhalare Vichitram!!
Chitram! Bhalare Vichitram!! () a 1991 Indian Telugu-language comedy film directed by P. N. Ramachandra Rao. It features an ensemble cast consisting of Naresh, Rajeevi, Subhalekha Sudhakar, Tulasi, Brahmanandam, Bindu Ghosh, Maharshi Raghava, Jaya Latha and Kota Srinivasa Rao. The film is a Telugu adaptation of Sailesh Dey's Bengali play Joymakali Boarding. Upon release, the film received widely positive reviews for its close-to-life performances by the lead actors, which bought a rather comical storyline a sense of authenticity at a time when the industry was being filled with unnecessary commercial fillers. It was successful at the box office, and went on to gather a cult following. Naresh went onto to win Nandi Special Jury Award for his performance in the film. It was later remade into Kannada as Bombat Hendthi (1992) and  Tamil as Aanazhagan (1995). Plot 
Raja (Naresh), Sudhakar (Subhalekha Sudhakar), Raghava (Maharshi Raghava), and Brahmanandam (Brahmanandam) are friends and are tenants in Gorojanala Garudachalam's house (Kota Srinivasa Rao). After being thrown out of the house, they start searching for a new house for rent, but no one is ready to rent out their house to bachelors. Finally, they end up in a place where the landlady insists on having a family as her tenants. The four bachelors dress up to be a man (Sudhakar), his retarded brother (Raghava), his father (Brahmanandam) and his wife "Prema" (Raja). Raja's girlfriend happens to be the landlady's daughter, and all hell breaks loose. Cast

Soundtrack 
Vidyasagar, a relatively newcomer at that time, gave a few really good tunes with the notable ones being  "Seetalu Yerugani" and "Maddela Daruvei". The melodious former, sung by Sailaja and Chitra, and shot on the occasion of Prema's Seemantam ceremony, which is still being played at Seemantam functions in Hyderabad, is borrowed from the Marathi original tune "Kuneetari YeNaara YeNaara guh" from Ashi Hi Banwa Banwi (shot similarly on a Godh-barai), customised to suit the Telugu/South Indian taste. "Brahmachaarulam"
 "Navvukune Mana"
 "Mahasaya Mathuga"
 "Maddela Daruvei"
 "Seetalu Yerugani"
