Alludu Seenu (transl. Son-in-law Seenu) is a 2014 Indian Telugu-language action comedy film directed by V. V. Vinayak. Produced by Bellamkonda Suresh on his banner Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Productions, the film marks the debut of his son Bellamkonda Sreenivas with Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Prakash Raj, Pradeep Rawat, and Brahmanandam in lead roles.[3][4][5] Devi Sri Prasad composed the music for this film while Chota K. Naidu and Gautham Raju handled the cinematography and editing of the film, respectively.
The film was officially launched on 15 February 2013 in Hyderabad.[6] After altering the bound script twice, the film's principal photography commenced at Annapoorna Studios in Hyderabad in October 2013. Majority of the film was shot in and around Hyderabad while significant portions were shot at Alleppey in Kerala. The songs were shot in the locales of Japan, Dubai and Italy apart from the sets built in Hyderabad. After completion of a few action sequences at Gachibowli Aluminium Factory in Hyderabad, the film's principal photography came to an end on 14 June 2014.[7]
The film released worldwide on 25 July 2014.[8] Upon release, the film was met with mixed reviews, with critics naming the film a commercial entertainer. While they praised the cast performances(Sreenivas and Samantha), and Brahmanandam's and Prakash Raj's supporting performances, they were unsupportive of the film's predictable narrative and placement of the song numbers. Even though the critics called it a "commercial entertainer," the film failed to recoup its budget at the box office, grossing under ₹39 crores worldwide. Later the film was dubbed in Hindi as Mard Ka Badla (2019).[9][10] Sai Srinivas won Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut – South.[11] Later the film was dubbed into Malayalam as Aliyan Sreeni and Tamil as Mappilai Seenu.
