Brahmanandam is not a person. Its an emotion.
You just need to see him on the screen to start laughing.
No twitter thread can do justice to his versatile talent.
But today, lets go on a ride down nostalgia lane with all of Brahmanandam's characters with caps and hats.
1.Music director JayaSurya from King(2008). The ultimate opener for the thread.
This Delta Force cap has a separate fan base of its own. I am sure people remember Brahmanandam more than Nagarjuna from this movie.
Im Telling That!
2. Jayasurya from King (2008). Once again. Though this is a bandana rather than a cap, we all died laughing as Sri Hari painted Brahmi.
Memorable role.
3. Ramakrishna from Dubai Seenu (2007).
The famous Red Cap.
"Idhi Mandapeta kaadu, Mumbai"
"Bhagwaan Achcha Karega toh Saadhu Bichcha Karega"
And the evergreen "Arey Ho!!!"
4. Jilebi from Naayak (2013). In every scene, he dominates the rest of the characters. Very few dialogues, only comedy gold.
The famous pink cap and the bathroom crying scene. This pic has made meme history.
5. Kill Bill Pandey from Race Gurram (2014).
On screen only for less than 15 minutes, Brahmi steals the show !
"Frustration Sir, Frustration!"
"Happy Diwali"
6. Brahmi Software Engineer from Pokiri (2006).
The original trendsetter and blockbuster of Telugu cinema.
Brahmanandam is in full form here.
"Shruti Shruti Shruti. How girls are mad about me i say"
7. Baddam Bhaskar from Attarintiki Daaredi (2013).
Remember The Black hat. ?
8. Lie Detector from Super (2005).
Just a role of five minutes has made movie history, with his reverse cap interrogation with the lie detector.
9. Shankar Dada RMP from Evadi Gola Vaadidi (2005).
The inept professional killer who spends the entire movie trying to assassinate Kovai Sarala, to fail spectacularly each time.
10. Giri from Mangalagiri from Santosham. (2002)
The French beret, and the non stop questions. Non stop fun.
11. John Abraham from Party (2006)
The weird cane cowboy hat, the type you get on Goa beaches
12. Creative Genius Prabhakar from Anjaneyulu (2009)
Another masterstroke with the reverse cap.
"Yes. Thats what I want"
13. Crazy Mohan from Balupu (2013).
Only Brahmi can pull off that cap and that dress!
14. Bhattu from Adhurs (2010).
Although he is in typical orthodox Brahmin getup the whole movie, this pub scene gives us the glimpse with a black cap!
Dominates Jr NTR at every turn. Comedy goldmine!
15. Padmanabha Simha from Badshah (2013).
Although he has donned the police cap in many movies, this is the ultimate comedy routine among them all!
'Don't fire the fire. If you fire the fire.. fire fires you. I am fire, I am the fire."
16. Rahul from Mr Nookayya (2012).
The Rastafari cap is perfect meme material for all us. None of us remember the rest of the movie I am sure!
17. Suzuki Subramanyam from Bruce Lee (2015).
Yet another reverse cap trick.
18. Variety Pullarao from Maa Alludu Very Good (2003).
The cowboy hat and the Sanmaana Sabha have become part of Telugu movie comedy history.
Remember the cauliflowers, the widows with the mangala haarathi, the kireetam, the rug, and the chitikeluRolling on the floor laughing
19. Chintakaya from Subramanyam for Sale (2015).
The funny chef and the funny chef hat!
20. Chitragupta from Yamaleela (1994).
The original trend setter of Telugu comedies. Brahmanandam and his lost Bhavishyavani. Technically a more of a headdress and not a hat, but i think we can let it through.
This isnt a thread to praise Brahmanandam, because that would run into thousands of tweets.
Just an attempt to remind us of all the movies with a cap/hat. These have become synonymous with Brahmi.
A trip down memory lane.
For all the laughter he has shared with us, I firmly believe Brahmanandam deserves a #BharatRatna
End of thread. #BharatRatnaForBrahmanandam
Thanks @supsmadi for the support and @partha_bhaskar who gave me the initial idea with the delta force cap!
