Donga Ramudu (Telugu: దొంగ రాముడు) is a 1955 Telugu Drama film directed by Kadiri Venkata Reddy and produced by D. Madhusudhana Rao. Lyrics are penned by Samudrala Raghavacharya including the ''Bhale Tatha Mana Bapuji'' song on Mahatma Gandhi. The film was archived in the curriculum of the Film and Television Institute of India By the turn of the 1950s Akkineni Nageswara Rao was a sought-after star. His friend-philosopher-guide and mentor from his stage days, Dukkipati Madhusudana Rao felt it was the right time to launch an own production house. Thus was born Annapurna Pictures (P) Ltd, named after Madhusudana Rao’s stepmother. Besides Madhusudana Rao and ANR, Katragadda Srinivasa Rao, Koratala Prakasa Rao and T.V.A. Subbarao were its partners. ‘Bharani’ P.S. Ramakrishna Rao who gave memorable hits with ANR was approached to direct their debut venture. Though he accepted the offer, for some reasons he backed out. P.Pullaiah who introduced ANR in films, too was busy with the Tamil version of Ardhangi and other commitments. ANR had a wish to work with K.V. Reddi and when they met him K.V. obliged on condition that they have to wait till he completed Peddamanushulu. The wait was worth its moolah as Donga Ramudu established Annapurna Pictures as a top banner. D.V. Narasaraju, the writer of Peddamanushulu was chosen to pen the story and dialogues. Since he was directing ANR for the first time, K.V. thought it should be different from the actor’s earlier movies. He suggested that he pen a story on a brother-sister sentiment with the brother going to any extent, even committing a murder for the sake of his sister. Madhusudana Rao recollected a short story, ‘Loving Brothers’ that he had read in an anthology of American short stories. In the story, the elder brother commits robberies to educate his younger brother. Taking that point replacing the younger brother with a sister, Narasaraju, Madhusudana Rao and K.V. Reddi wrote the story of Donga Ramudu.〔 http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-columns/donga-ramudu-1955/article6169986.ece〕 The film was remakec at the same time into Tamil and was released as Thiruttu Raman ((タミル語:திருட்டு இராமன்)). ==The plot== Ramudu (Akkineni Nageshwara Rao) after serving a jail sentence for a theft he had committed during childhood to buy medicines for his mother (Hemalatha) lands in a job as a servant at moneylender Veerabhadraiah’s (Relangi Venkata Ramaiah) house.

Lakshmi escapes an attack by Babulu (Rajanala Nageswara Rao) a local thug, with the help of Seetha (Savitri) the vegetable vendor with whom Ramudu is in love. Seetha gets shelter for her at Dr. Mohan’s (Jaggaiah) house. Impressed by her virtues, the doctor decides to marry Lakshmi. Ramudu joins as a driver with Mohan. He warns his sister not to reveal that they are siblings. But Veerabhadraiah who is angry that the doctor has not married his daughter (Swarajyalakshmi), reveals their identity and that Ramudu is a thief. Veerabhadraiah is murdered by Babulu but the blame falls on Ramudu. Seetha helps prove Ramudu’s innocence by bringing Babulu to book.
