Pushpaka Vimanam aka Pushpak, directed by Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, was one of the best films made in India. This silent film was released in 1987. Today it is regarded as a classic. The film is going to be screened at Shanghai International Film Festival to be held in June this year.
The film will be screened at its special Indian section. Rajamouli's Eega is also going to be screened at this festival.
Starring Kamal Haasan and Amala, the silent film also won National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment in 1988. Kamal Haasan won great appreciation for pulling off the film on his shoulders without mouthing a word in the entire movie. The film is a black comedy.

Interestingly, this "silent" movie [PUSHPAKA VIMANM (Telugu)/PUSHPAK (Hindi)] was titled PESUM PADAM in Tamil. Needless to say, it was a Kamal classic directed by Singeetham Srinivasa Rao. Because there was no dialogue, it was the same video/audio print in all versions with the titles shown in different languages.
