City of Hyderabad always had a special seat in Director Karunakaran’s heart. When ever he gets an opportunity to emote the beauty of Hyderabad in his movie, he jumps on to the opportunity else he creates one for himself to express his special feelings on Hyderabad.
It was in ‘Balu’ with Pawan Kalyan that Karunakaran has picturized a special song on hero with lyrics based on Hyderabad and the same happened even in ‘Happy’ of Allu Arjun where Karunakaran speaks about the charm of Hyderabad. It is known that, this kind of art of incorporating the heritage of a city in a movie in the form of a song is actually the natural skill of Pawan Kalyan and Karunakaran has mastered it more than what is needed. Although the result of ‘Balu’ and ‘Happy’ was disappointing but ‘Darling’ gave Karunakran a last reason to smile.
The way Karunakaran visualized Switzerland climate in Hyderabad with Golconda fort, Tank Bund, Hussain Sagar, Buddha Statue, Charminar filling with thick layers of snow in a song of ‘Darling’ was a master piece in DI and graphics department. It is learnt that true Hyderabadis have already started to watch the movie for second time and that too especially only for that single song. Karunakaran proves that he is once again the best at Montage work.
