90’s kids childhood lo chusina ‘Little Soldiers’ movie lo konni frames ippatiki mind lo nundi povu. Naa lage ee movie ayina, movie lo characters ayina, andariki ishtame. Chinna pillalani petti oka cinema tiyadam ante chala risk. Kani ento risk antha tana tiskoni mana andariki nostalgic movie iccharu director Gunnam Gangaraju. Kani ee movie gurunchi matladina prathi sari cinematographer Rasool Ellore work gurinchi kuda matladali.
Ee movie lo prathi frame manaki ippatiki fresh ga gurthunnayi ante adi antha Rasool gari camera work eh. Idi okate kadu Gulabi, Gayam movies nundi, Nuvvu Nenu movie varaku tisina movie cinematography is the best. But, still underutilised and an underrated cinematographer ga migilipoyaru Rasool Ellore.
1. Gaayam – Debut as cinematographer (Rasool Won The Best Cinematographer – Nandi Award)
Mafia backdrop movies ante regular movies la kadu. Aa movie chuse audience ni aa feel loki tiskellali so cinematography plays a major role. Mari Gaayam lanti mafia movie ki tint frames, fighting and chasing sequences lo lighting and frames tho tana Rasool Ellore ee movie ki pranam pettesadu. Cinematographer ga work chesina first movie ke Rasool ki best cinematographer award vacchindi ante e movie lo cinematography elantidho meere ardam chesukondi.

2. Gulabi
Ee movie lo Meghalalo thelipomanadhi…. song vinagane mana andariki first aa song picturistation gurthostundi. Such a beautiful video song but ee song venaka risk gurinchi matladuthu Krishna Vamsi garu oka interview lo song shoot ki chala dare chesamu..producer Ram Gopal Varma garu assala ala vaddu normal ga cheyandi ani annaranta director Krishna Vamsi garu. Cut chesthe idi is one of the best cinematographed video song in telugu movies. Not only song but movie lo prathi frame aa lighting anni chala kotthaga untayi.
Krishna Vamsi about this song making in an interview:
3. Little Soldiers
Chinna pillala tho shooting ante antha easy kadu…okati rendu scenes cheyali antene pedda risk. Alantidhi oka movie mottham kids tho ante inka pedda risk mari mukhyanga cinematographer ki. Kani..Little Soldiers movie Rasool tana best icharu…still some 90’s kids ki idi favourite movie. Gunnam Gangaraju story ee movie ki heart aithe Rasool cinematography ee movie ki soul lantidhi.
4. Chitram
Chitram ee movie release iana time lo telugu states lo oka vibe and sensation create chesindi. Teja direction oka etthu aithe thadi vision tana lens dwara movie lo college scenes and especially songs picturisation chala kotthaga untayi, refreshing ga untayi.
5. Nuvvu Nenu – (Won Nandi Award )
Chitram taruvatha Teja & Rasool iddaru kalisi work chesina ee Nuvvu Nenu chala movie telugu states lo oka sensation ni create chesindi. Ee movie lo songs picturisation nundi forest episodes dwara the best icchina Rasool ki maro Nandi Award vacchindi after Gaayam.
6. Kick
Oka commercial movie ni ila kuda chupichochhu ani tana cinematography work dwara chesi chupincharu Rasool. If you keen observe Kick movie mottham blue tint lo untundi. Ila movie ki particular ga oka…tint anukoni adi aa visual ga aa movie ki pranam pettesaru Rasool. Ileana intro, Gore Gore songs picturisation nundi movie lo interval and climax ki mundu vacche konni scenes lo cinematography baguntadhi kick lo.
7. Oosaravelli
Movie name vinagane indulo Jr NTR into scene, Sri Anjaneyam and Niharika…Niharikaa songs picturisation…ila first konni visuals gurthu vasthayi. Yes,, aa visuals venaka unnadi mana Rasool Ellore gare eh.
9. Neeku Naku Dash Dash
Just like Kick….ee movie ki oka tint untadhi. Kick antha blue color tint lo unte…ee movie antha black & white frames lo unatadhi. Movie adaledu kani picturisation and visuals aithe crazy untayi ee movie lo.
10. Shivam
Mana energetic star Ram chesina ee movie career lone pedda disaster. Kani movie lo DSP mark tunes….aa tunes ki tagga choreography ee enditini match chesthu mana Rasool Ellore gari cinematography.
Andamaina lokam song lo locations and Gunde Agipotunde song lo visuals are the best examples of what Rasool Ellore can deliver with camera anedi.
Special Mention and Note: Rasool also made films like Okariki Okaru, Bhagiratha as director. Indulo Okariki Okaru movie as director ga Rasool ki manchi fame tecchi pedithe Bhagiratha matram pedda disaster ni icchindi and he never dared to direct movies after this movie result.
