It is known that South Indian great director Shankar has recently announced his next project, which is a bilingual movie made in both Telugu and Tamil languages. Now the strong buzz is that, director Shankar is planning the sequel for ‘Oke Okkadu’ which will be titled as ‘Manalo Okkadu‘ in Telugu. Pawan Kalyan would play the lead in Telugu version of this film, while Surya would play lead in Tamil version.
Continuation to the buzz, A.R.Rehman would compose the music and P.C.Sriram would handle the cinematography for the movie.
Another version of buzz is that, there is no such project is in the pipeline and this is purely a rumor created and circulated by Pawan Kalyan fans. Let’s wait for the official confirmation about this news
NTR’s latest flick Dhammu had thrown the fans into dilemma about the result of the movie. Though the movie is marked as the hit movie, it had been getting mixed reviews from all over the state. Some of the main backlogs in Dhammu made are the main reasons of this confusion. So, let us have glance over the minus points ofDhammu.
Minus Points
- Miscasting is the main minus point of the movie. Most of the actors in the movie had dropped the grace of the characters allotted to them. They failed to show the importance of the character.
- Karthika who played as the second heroine of the movie is one of the main negative of the movie. Earlier Mamata Mohandas was selected to do this role,but duet to the problems in call sheets she missed this chance. Otherwise the character would have been essayed in better way.
- Generally the heroism in a movie can be elevated by having a powerful villain, but Boyapati failed in this pattern. The villains seems to be too week. The director elected aged persons as the villains as NTR’s opponents who looked too weak before the hero.
- Kishore (Happy and Bheemili fame) is one of the main miscasting actor of this movie. Though we have macho villains like Supreeth (Chatrapathi fame) and Subbaraj, he was selected as the main villain which failed to potray the real villainism.
- Abhinaya who was selected as the elder sister role of Tarak was very young and just looked like younger sister.
- Trisha faded out before the glamour of NTR. He looked so young before her and her over make-up killed the naturality of her face. Earlier Priyamani was selected for this role but later she was replaced by Trisha.
- Boyapati Srinu who was more confident about the story, failed to portray the story on silver-screen. Dhammu is naturally a powerful concept which got spoiled by the over-confidence of the director. He should have concentrated more on the second half which made the audience to forget the real flavor in the story.
- Censor board had ruined the movie with their cuttings. The general dialogues that we listen these days in most of the movies like (Pagilipoddhi, Chirigipoddhi, Naakesaaru, Nee Yabba) were edited too which spoiled the emotion and comedy in the movie.
Plus Points:
- The main highlight of the movie is the one and only Young Tiger NTR. The movie is nothing without him.His expressions, dialogues, fights are the flesh and blood of the movie. No, doubt he excelled himself as never before. 95% of marks of the movie should be awarded to the Tarakitself.
- MM Keeravani’s background music is the back bone of the movie during fights and sentiment scenes.
- Dialogues by M.Ratnam are simply superb. His dialogues added salt and pepper to the movie which made the movie tasty.
There are some more positives of the movie which were dominated by the negatives of the movie. Despite all these negatives, Tarak took the responsibility to lead the movie ahead on his shoulders with his one man show.
So far, the entire NTR clan had one set of common fans and followers, particularly Balakrishna and Jr NTR who enjoyed the same fan following. Fans of Balakrishna were by default fans of Jr NTR and vice versa. But things have changed overnight. Last Friday, when Jr NTR’s much-awaited flick ‘Dammu’ hit the screens, hate messages started doing the rounds within hours of the film’s release saying that Balakrishna’s fans should not support the film.While mixed talks are continuing, there are those who are trying to figure ou the reasons for the film not doing well. And a very shocking talk has begun to make rounds.
It is heard that Nandamuri Balakrishna is one of the key reasons to kill the film. Sources say he has given instructions to his fans and followers to spread negative talk through SMS. It is also heard that with his influence he has got the police forces to be stationed across many theatres in the state.
Usually, giving ‘A’ certificate is censor board’s job but implementing it is police department’s job. However, due to their various other assignments they don’t really care. But if they have a special force or pressure they will do it. Only someone powerful can do that. Buzz is that through Chandrababu Naidu, Balayya is using influence and the police is involving and sending away family audience.
The other point is, Balayya scored hit with ‘Simha’ under Boyapati’s direction but if ‘Dammu’ also becomes a hit then credit will go to Boyapati. And it is heard that Balayya wants to prove that because he was there the film became a hit. If this talk is true then it sure is a major damage for ‘Dammu’.
The question now is whether ‘Dammu’, starring Jr NTR and Trisha, will do well in the box office. Well, if it doesn’t, we know who Jr NTR would blame.
Jr.NTR’s ‘Dammu’ and Hollywood flick ‘Avengers’ are in side by side theatres at many A centres across the state. The effect is in turn seen on the second show and first show of the movies.The comparison is not between these two films, as Jr’s movie will have an upper hand in Telugu circuit anyways. It is heard that kids and teens are opting to watch ‘Avengers’ if they get a slightest inconvenience at ‘Dammu’ ticket counters. With fans still rushing in to watch Junior’s flick on Monday too, kids who cannot stand all the way in line are jumping to the counters of that Hollywood movie available next.
They feel that both the movies have same number of fights, but ‘Avengers’ had an upper hand with five Hollywood Hero characters taking centre stage in the movie. One can easily say that kids love to watch Hulk and Iron Man than Jr.NTR!
Salman and Ram Charan’s newfound friendship just went a notch higher! Just days after reports of Sallu sending biryani across to Ram Charanon the sets “ Zanjeer” surfaced, the dabangg Khan invited Charan to a mini-bash that he hosted at his guesthouse in Panvel.Sallu was flanked by brother Sohail Khan and his closest circle of trusted friends. According to an insider, Sallu bonded with the Hyderabad-based actor all through the night. “The party went on all through Saturday night, past dawn on Sunday morning. Salman and Ram Charan are good friends and it’s great to see the duo bond so well.”
Sallu, on Saturday afternoon, had voiced his disappointment on hotspots and nightclubs in Bandra shutting as early as 12:30 pm. So don’t be surprised if the actor hosts a whole lot of parties at his Panvel guesthouse in the near future. Following the bash, Charan flew down to Hyderabad on Sunday.
Although critics and reviewers usually belittle mass films with poor ratings and adverse backbites, our Telugu audience always adored these kinds of flicks majority of times. When it comes to presence of big heroes like junior ntr or Ramcharan, obviously the success rate gets further brighter. Recent example of ‘Dammu’ throws more light on the strength of a Telugu mass masala film. In spite of disheartening reviews and divided mouth talk reported on first day, now fresh reports from overseas, Nizam area and few centers in Coastal Andhra are proving of ‘Dammu’ being set to play a long innings creating new industry records. One of our close US trade sources was happy to share that, many of the exhibitors in overseas are getting near to breakeven with in the first week and ‘Dammu’ might even offer them profits. This is good news. Coming to domestic market, we have heard of Dil Raju already added more theatres in Nizam area looking at the response from audience.
With the early estimates NTR’s Dammu to stand at No:6 position for the first week ,Dhammu which has already collected 14+ crores till weekend .Now has to face tough time from monday as working days started ,estimate of another 5-6 crores for 4 days is guaranteed, it means Dammu has a fair chance for surpassing Dookudu and Oosaravelli to stand at 4th position or else it has to satisfy with 6th positionTop five 1st Week Shares:
1.Racha 25.75Cr
2.Business Man 24.4Cr
3.Magadheera 21.57Cr
4.Dookudu 20.55Cr
5.Oosaravelli 20.31Cr
Ram Charan’s mass entertainer Racha collected huge revenue, despite its mixed talk from audience. Currently Magadheera and Dookudu were the only telugu films which crossed 50 crores collection.
Now the latest news is that Racha too joined the 50 crores club. Telugu version of this flick collected 45 crores of share. With good revenues from tamil and Malayalam versions, the film makers are calculating the total collection to 50 crores!
Now the latest news is that Racha too joined the 50 crores club. Telugu version of this flick collected 45 crores of share. With good revenues from tamil and Malayalam versions, the film makers are calculating the total collection to 50 crores!
So we can consider that Racha too joined the 50 crores club. Among three films to make this feat, two of them are of Ram Charan. This shows his huge fan following, which he got from his father.
Sampath Nandi directed this flick. Tamanna is the female lead. Manisharma is the music director. This film was produced under Mega Supergoodfilms.
In Tollywood industry, if any film actor likes another actor, they rarely praise them openly and almost never do they agree that they have reached the stage of another actor. But these days, trnd hass changed and here is an example of it.In an interview to newspaper, Rana Daggubati talked about NTR, about whom Rana said:
“See, with Tarak (NTR Jr) people just want to watch Tarak… he does not have to play a police officer or a lawyer or a politician. I don’t think I have reached that stage yet where people would like to see just Rana.”
Milky White Beauty Tamanna in an interview to english daily said as followsThe producers of Mahesh’s film did approach me, but the dates that they were expecting from me were not matching with the dates I had. I was actually looking forward to working with Mahesh. I loved him in “Pokiri”. Unfortunately, our first film together did not work out. And then Pawan’s movie came along and the dates they asked for matched my schedule. I guess this happens very often with actresses who are doing three or four films at a time. The work schedule gets cramped. I might have lost Mahesh’s film, but I am confident I will get to work with him again. Right now I am happy to work with Pawan and Puri sir. This is the first time I am working with them. I am also working with Lawrence and Prabhas for the first time in “Rebel” apart from doing a film with Ram and Karunakaran sir in “Endukante Premanta”.
In the pecking list of leading ladies of Telugu cinema, Tapsee Pannu will come behind the likes of Tamannah, Ileana, Anushka and Samantha. But looks like soon Tapsee Pannu could be joining the list. At least that’s what her growing popularity on Twitter suggests. Very few Tollywood actresses boast of a Twitter following of over one lakh and Tapsee Pannu has joined that elite list. Only Ileana who has over 1,28,000 followers is ahead of the curly haired actress. “I didn’t realize that I had crossed one lakh followers on twitter. I am super excited. I thank each and every one of my followers. It feels great to be loved by so many of them,” beamed the actress.The list of films in her kitty would make anyone proud. She is eagerly awaiting the release ofDaruvu whhere she is paired opposite Ravi Teja. She is also playing the lead opposite Venkatesh in Shadow and there is Gundello Godari produced by Lakshmi Manchu. She has just signed up a film with director Chandrasekhar Elelti. And last but not the least, she will soon be making herBollywood debut with David Dhawan’s remake of Chashme Badoor. Looks like the actress’s popularity is on the rise and how. Looks like there is more exciting news on the anvil. “Started believing a lot in vastu all of a sudden. Some really nice stuff to b declared very soon. Patience is gonna b worth it,” wrote the actress on the twitter page.
Junior NTR disappointed yet again with his recent release Dammu as far as his dances are concerned. He used to be one of the top contenders for the best dancer among Tollywood heroes. But he has not been putting any efforts in improving his skills and has been giving just Ok performances but not great dance performances in recent times.On the other hand, Allu Arjun is improving movie to movie and trying out all kind of variations. The surprising package is from Ram who seems to have performed amazing dance performance in his upcoming film Endukante Premanta. The trailer has been released recently and the audience are getting stunned watching Ram’s dance moments.
NTR fans are getting disappointed as other heroes have started dominating NTR in dances. It looks like they are going to go for a serious protest to force NTR to perform extraordinary dances in his next film. Let us wait and see what happens.
Trisha has every reason to be happy. Her Telugu flick, Dammu, which hit the screens recently, seems to be enjoying a good run at the box office.
However, the petite actress is not surprised at the success of the film. “It’s not just me,” she says, “All of us had a really good feeling during the making of the film.It has all the elements of a hit; there’s action, drama, and family sentiments. We all knew it would do very well, but it still feels fantastic!” The film, which also stars Karthika of Ko fame, has Trisha in a very glamorous role. Did she do anything special to achieve the look?
“Most of the credit goes to my designer Shweta. It was our first time working together and when you work with someone new, it gives you a fresh perspective that can translate into something different on screen.
I wore a lot of lehengas in the second half of the film — something that I haven’t done before. It complemented my look very well,” she explains.
With all the hype surrounding the film, we wonder if the focus will now shift to her performances and movies instead of her personal life.
She diplomatically replies, “There are two sides to everything. If my movies are not being written about, then it is my personal life. At the end of the day, what matters is news.”
It’s not an easy ride to the top and being the numero uno heroine in not one, but two industries is no mean feat.
Trisha, however, claims to be unaffected by it all, “Honestly, I don’t believe in the numbers game. You do a film, it works, and you are number one.
Then someone else comes along and the number one changes. I have believed in sustaining myself with good credible roles and that has worked.”
In an industry where actresses have a short shelf life, what does she want to be remembered for? “You know, to be a star, you need to be backed up by great roles and great characters.
I want to be remembered for roles I did in films such as VTV, and other Telugu films, in which the roles were written for me,” she smiles.
It’s not all work and no play for Trisha, and we hear that she is off to Thailand with her girlfriends to celebrate her birthday on May 4.
“Well, that’s what we have planned, but things can change,” she laughs. Post the holiday, she will be back to work shooting for Samaran with Vishal, and her next K’wood project with Jiiva.
The big success of the small film Ee Rojullo has inspired many T-town dream merchants to dish out small-budget films with novel content. We are told that there are nearly 10 such films in the making already. “It’s a trend-setting film in more ways than one,” says one of the producers, Srinivas Kumar, who worked for big films like Maghadheera and Badrinath. “I turned producer trusting director Maruthi’s storyline. We cut costs in various ways but stuck to the plot and reached our target audience, the youth, and the rest can at best be described as a bonus,” he adds. He claims that his film, which was made with a tight budget of `60 lakh, has earned `8 crore at the box office. “A digital camera, low-cost production and new faces is the new mantra in Tollywood,” he concludes.
Top comedian brahmanandam is already into bad books of film industry for various reasons. Even TV channels broadcasted live programs and upcoming artists, producers spoke against Brahmi who continuously runs behind money and other sorts of pleasures. Yesterday at the audio launch of ‘Endukante Premanta,’ one such embarrassing situation was faced by Brahmi when Srinu Vytla directly exposed the weak point of this comedian.Beautiful lady anchoring the audio release program was questioning guests on, ‘any time in your life, did you say ‘Endukante Premanta’ to any one?’ When it was the turn of brahmanandam, the lady twisted the question asking, ‘Sir, Whom does you Love More?’
Thud was the reply….instead of Brahmi, it was Srinu Vytla who answered the question on behalf of Brahmi saying ‘Dabbu (Money) and only Dabbu (Money).’
Raviteja sitting besides Srinu Vytla got connected with the situation and started to enjoy it. Sensing the insult, a clever brahmanandam sidelined Srinu Vytla’s answer saying, ‘As my wife’s name is Lakshmi, he said the same as Dabbu.’ It was too late…guests at the function who understood the underlying meaning in Srinu’s words were more than accepted at Brahmi’s weak point.
It is the stream of stars heroes turning singers for thier films to give up boost.Tollywood Star heroes like Pawan Kalyan,Jr.Ntr,Mahesh babu,Siddarth etc., has lent their voice for songs.Now it is the turn of Allari Naresh.The latest new is that Allari Naresh has sung a song for his forthcoming movie Sudigaadu in the direction of Bheemineni Sreenivas Rao.Sudigaadu is the remake of tamil movie Tamil Padam.Sources says that the song sung by Allari Naresh to be chartbuster in the audio.
Monal Gajjar is romancing Allari Naresh in the film.Allari Naresh’s Sudigaadu is touted to be a comedy entertainer.Anup Rubens is composing tunes for the film.Sudigaadu will come up with the tagline Okka ticket pai vanda cinemalu.The film shooting has reached its final legs.Sudigaadu might hit the big screens in the month of June.
Boxoffice bonanza Balakrishna starrer Adhinayakudu shooting and post production works have been completed long back but the producer is unable to release this flick, due to the problem created by the film financiers. Now the latest reliable news is that, after much delay, this film is going to release in second week of May, tentatively on 11th.This film has Balakrishna in triple role and as per director, Paruchuri Murali, the three exceptional roles portrayed by Balayya will be highlight of the film. Saloni and Lakshmi Rai are heroines, providing required glamour to the movie. Jayasudha is doing another role. ML Kumar Chowdary is producing this film under Sri Keerthi Combines. Already Kalyani Malik’s music is hit among Nandamuri fans. Lets hope Balayya repeats Simha magic.
With this, the film has is all set to hit the big screen, with small gap 1 day between PowerStar’s GabbarSingh’s release.
Probably, it is time for both Mega and Nandamuri films to clash at box-office again.
Rajamouli who used to be is very calm seems to learnt to give counters , With Release problems and dull business of Eega is frustrating Rajamouli. He not leaving any one who talks abou Eega not even his hero Charan ,Check their recent Tweets …‘@Alwayscharan so, we learnt 3 things here. 1. eega is vry PERSISTENT 2. It is NOT easy 2 get rid off, once it enters your system and more importantly 3. EXPERTS are required to handle eega….:).’ Repeatedly Rajamouli makes us learn that, it’s not alone his ‘eega’ but all the eegas are not that easy to snap. That’s the lesson folks…try to digest this ‘eega’ concept…if you have time.
Based on what script demands, our Tollywood heroes are seen in lady getups in some flicks. Some of them are Chiru’s ‘Chantabbai’, Balayya’s “TopHero”,”PanduRangadu”, Venky’s “Vaasu”,”Bodugaurd”.Now the Tollywood tinsel town talk is that Maheshbabu is also going to be seen in a lady getup in his upcoming flick under Sukumar direction.
Mahesh has earlier been in lady getup on screen in the film ‘BalaChandrudu’, in which he was a child artist!
