'Simha' - A movie which has stood out as one of the biggest milestone's in the career of Nandamuri Balakrishna. A movie, which has served all the intensity and masala, that is expected from Balakrishna's film. A movie, which has projected Balakrishna in two never seen before powerful roles.

Simha was released at a time, when Balakrishna fans are eagerly waiting for a big hit. Boyapati Srinu has joined the list of star directors overnight with it. He has used Balakrishna intensity in acting very efficiently and delivered a blockbuster.

After 'Simha',both Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu's films have not done well at the box-office.Both are hungry to give a big hit and joined hands again to recreate the magic of 'Simha'. Fans of Balayya have been euphoric and are also sure of a good treat from the moment,both have teamed up.When the title of the film was announced as 'Legend', there were no boundaries to the excitement of the fans.

Now, let's see if Balakrishna and Boyapti recreate that magic at the box-office.

When Jagapathi Babu was said to be playing the negative role, many have doubted if he fits the role challenging Balakrishna's role. But all the doubts were cleared when the trailers were out.His rugged looks with dark shades have got a very good response.

From the posters and the trailers, many have opined that the film has slightly the shades of 'Simha' in it . The dual roles and the get-up's of both the roles look some what like those in 'Simha'.

But Boyapati has stressed many times that 'Legend', will be very different from 'Simha'. From it, it could be understood that he has taken care so that both will have no similarities.

But when working with a star like Balakrishna, one certainly should design characters with many limitations keeping their star image in mind. It is when, some doesn't dare to make experiments and repeats the same old formula.Hope Boyapati has overcome that pressure.

The main reason for the super success of 'Simha',is the freshness in the characterizations. If Boyapati has taken that care for this film and shows novelty,he surely can hit the bull's eye or else there is a chance of comparisons,which eventually lead to disappointments.

But Boyapati has already learnt the nuances of film making and lets hope he doesn't repeat the mistakes he has made for his previous film 'Dammu'.

The expectations on 'Legend' movie have been doubled with the theatrical trailer. Especially the dialogues of Balakrishna have been received very well by the viewers.The production values also seem very good.The election fever has added fuel to the already high expectations.

Hope the lion starts roaring at the box-office from 28th of this month and the film becomes a memorable hit for all the team.
