D. Yoganand (Director) – Show Filmography

(b. 1922) Telugu and Tamil director born in Madras. Son of the estate manager of an Andhra nawab; adopted at an early age by D. Subbaiah of Bandar, owner of a watch-repairing and photography shop. Studied radiology briefly while developing his skills as a photographer. Joined films as assistant to Ramabrahmam’s editor, Manikyam (Mayalokam, 1945). Also assisted famous South Indian technicians Jiten Bannerjee and Rehman. After Ramabrahmam, worked with L.V. Prasad, whose notions of the reformist social left their imprint on his films. In his use of genre he is perhaps the most inventive of the post-Prasad film-makers: his début, the sentimental Ammalakkalu, is a musical hit attacking feudalist practices; his second film, Todu Dongalu, produced by and starring NTR, is an influential realist melodrama which flopped. Telugu and Hindi star Waheeda Rehman acted in his folk musical Jayasimha. Best-known 50s films are the successful Tamil folk legend Madurai Veeran, one of MGR’s most influential roles, and Parthiban Kanavu.
