What happens

Dongala Mutha (transl. Gang of thieves) is a 2011 Indian Telugu-language comedy action thriller film directed by Ram Gopal Varma. The film stars Ravi Teja, Charmy, Prakash Raj, Lakshmi Manchu, Sunil, Bramhanandam, Subbaraju and Supreeth Reddy. This film is the first of its kind in Indian cinema as it was shot with just 7 crew members and in a record of 5 days. Prior to filming, Varma announced that this film has no budget and that the cast and crew will not be taking remunerations until the film hits theaters. Puri Jagannadh is co-director while director Harish Shankar (Mirapakaya fame) is associate director. Music is composed by Sathyam while the background score has been rendered by Amar Mohile (of Sarkar Raj fame). Dongala Mutha was released on 18 March 2011, which was exactly 33 days after the shooting ended. The filmmaking process was revolutionized through Canon 5D cameras. The film remained an instant hit at the box office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
