They say that fans will not be able to control their thrill after looking Balayya’s new look.

Boyapati Seenu has quickly wrapped up an interesting schedule that was being shot in Nanakramguda from a couple of weeks.

AD to hit 100 crores mark?

Share

Will it, or won’t it? Pawan Kalyan was clear, it’s not crores that matter to him but love of fans. But looks like he’s got the crores and also won crores of fans’ following with the Attarintiki Daredi success. And if numbers are anything to go by the Tollywood trade analysts are looking at 100 crore figure already.

There is no doubt currently Pawan mania is at its peak and Trivikram rightly tapped into the craze that Power Star has got for by making AD a clean family entertainer. The movie is already a big hit and is racing still at the box office.

With Ramayya Vasthavayya garnering average talk and no stiff competition it is still running well and with Nagarjuna’s Bhai and Venky-Ram’s Masala having another week for release the trade analysts feel that there is chance for Attarintiki to make some moolahs, and if Pawan is lucky enough the movie can even hit the magic figure of 100 crores as well!

Pawan-Trivikram bucked Tollywood trend

Share

Power Star Pawan Kalyan-Trivikram Srinivas’ Attarintiki Daaredi is having record breaking run at Tollywood box office. Apart from the film fighting piracy and protests in Andhra Pradesh, Pawan and Trivikram even bucked the sentiment and Tollywood trend.

There was a sentiment that none of the director who directed Pawan for the second time tasted success. This happened with SJ.Surya who tasted failue with Komaram Puli after Khushi and Karunakran with Balu after Toli Prema.Even Puri Jagannath tasted failure with Cameraman Gangato Rambabu after Badri. Many felt even Trivikram Srinivas would meet the same fate after Jalsa with Attarintiki Daaredi. However Pawan and Trivikram bucked the trend and proved that strong and entertaining storyline is what matters to score a hit.

Share

There are reports that Digvijay Singh and Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde are literally waging a war on Telangana issue and even the intervention of Sonia and Ahmed Patel haven’t led to any solution. Sources say that Sushil Kumar Shinde is a very pragmatic individual who has special love for Telugu people.

He also has numerous friends in Coastal Andhra and he also fears Vidharbha issue back at home. He has also reportedly warned high command against any hasty decision on Telangana but eventually he couldn’t raise his voice against Sonia.

At the same time Diggy Raja is reportedly behaving as if he has been appointed exclusively to bifurcate AP and is having some ego problems with Shinde. He is also from upper caste which is reportedly giving him superiority complex over a Dalit like Shinde. Sources say that without coming in open, Shinde is planning to somewhere ensure a slight delay in the current process of GoM and sending T-bill back and forth so that it may not be ready to be passed during winter session!

Telugu Heroine Parted From Husband?

Share

A noted Telugu media reported that former heroine Rambha might have got split from her husband Indran Padbhanathan with whom she relocated to Canada after marrying him in 2010.

Rambha happens to be a hot and promising heroine of the late 90s era, with not just glamour but also she is a talented dancer and performer too. The 37 year old actress has quit her career during the peak of it and married this Chennai based businessman, and the couple have a daughter named Lavanya. Media reports suggest that all is not well between Rambha and her husband, ever since the actress has chosen to return to silver screen after her daughter has grown up. Also the spicy former Telugu siren is said to be living independently from some time in Chennai and is searching for sister-mother kind of roles in Telugu and Tamil cinema.

Though Rambha ruled out these divorce rumours in the first week of August, it is now heard that all those rumours regarding her split are true, the media house claimed. Will our ex-heroine takes it to condemning again, or should we say that there is no smoke without fire?

Sai Kumar in Place of Srihari

Share

The sudden demise of actor Sri Hari has come as a jolt to Tollywood. Especially, his close-aids and directors who shared a bond with him are still stuck with the news.

The case of director Srinu Vytla, who worked with the late actor for Dhee and King, is no different. And this has impact on his upcoming film Aagadu with Mahesh Babu.

Srinu had reportedly wrote a full-length role of Sri Hari in the film and this would had been first combination of Mahesh and Sri Hari if destiny would had been different. Due to this, the makers have postponed the film by a week.

The latest buzz doing rounds in Film Nagar is that Srinu Vytla is considering Sai Kumar for the role. If things fall in place, the movie will go onto floors soon.

But Srinu had written the role in such a way it fit the bill of Sri Hari who could do comedy with ease. But when it comes to Sai Kumar definitely he has not tested comedy earlier. Also, talk is that Srinu is going to make a few changes in Aagadu considering Sai Kumar and his body language. Let’s see how things shape up. An official confirmation regarding this is awaited.

Nag’s plans spoiled!

Share

Nagarjuna Akkineni is not just a versatile actor and handsome star. There’s more to it. He’s a strategic producer and good businessman as well. And definitely, he has big plans for the promotion, release of his production venture Bhai.

Starring Richa Gangopadhyay opposite Nag, the film is due for release of October 25. What’s the buzz is that Nag is apparently in a hurry to release the film considering the fast-changing circumstances in the state. And in that haste, he couldn’t even release the audio of the film in a big way as he had planned before. This was revealed by Nag himself.

“I’d requested my fans to not to come to by birthday celebrations and I assured them that there would be grand release function of the audio of Bhai and asked them to come there. But due to unexpected situations, I need to cancel my previous plans and now releasing the audio in a low-profile way,” Nag reasoned.

What’s conspicuous is the absence of music director Devi Sri Prasad at the audio launch held at Annapurna Seven Acres. And Nag also clarified for that and said Devi was in abroad for a music discussion.

Looks like, Nag has slightly disappointed as his plans to promote the audio and film were disrupted and spoiled. Don’t worry Nag, conditions in the state are now improving and definitely, it may work for Bhai.

Radical Changes To Jr NTR’s Rabhasa

Share

Apparently the misfiring of ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’, has taken heavy toll on Jr NTR it seems. His actual idea is to give back to back hits in 2013 after he opened account with the huge success of Baadshah. Even fans got high expectations on Junior that he will give back to back hits and give strong competition to Mahesh Babu and Pawan Kalyan who are being counted as the top contenders for No.1 throne of Tollywood.

However, things fell flat with Gabbar Singh director Harish Shankar failing to deliver the much needed super hit. Ramayya has travelled high on expectations before its release as the core team of the flick got all blockbusters to their name including hero NTR, director Harish, producer Dil Raju and music director Thaman. Surprisingly, Ramaya Vastavayya opened to negative talk on day one itself and the effect is still continuing.

In the first place, Rabhasa is not the actual title of Young Tiger Jr NTR’s upcoming movie, but it happens to be a fan-made title that got popularized virally. There are now reports that our hero is making some radical changes to the script of this untitled flick. Already there is buzz that Junior sacked his manager who used to take some major decisions about choreographers, stunt masters and sometime about scripts too. Also he decided to listen to Rabhasa script one more time, such that he could understand if there are any lapses and loop holes that will cost him dear.

As the movie is earlier scripted for hero Ram by director Santosh Srinivas, our hero now wants to make necessary changes rather directly acting every scene as directed by the director. Our hero is also focusing on the music tracks of the flicks, and will take a final call about each song rather leaving it to director and producer. For the first time in years, Junior was actually taken down by a flop and he is leaving no stone unturned to make Rabhasa a blockbuster at any cost. That’s the spirit folks. Wish you good luck NTR!

Doosukeltha Movie Review – 3/5

Share

untitled

Rating: 3/5

Film: Doosukeltha
Starring: Manchu Vishnu,Lavanya Tripathi, Brahmanandam
Director: Veeru Potla
Producer: Mohan Babu
Banner: 24 Frames Factory
Music: Manisharma

User Rating: [ratings]

Story

Chinna (Vishnu Manchu) joins for a news channel headed by Posani and makes a deal to shoot a video in a minister’s house. During the process he gets into danger and Alekhya (Lavanya Tripathi) saves him. Impressed with Alekhya, he follows him and saves her when needed. The duo falls for each other but Alekhya gets to know that Chinna is a childhood neighbor whom she hates from 13 years due to the past? What is the past of Alekhya and family? Will Chinna and Alekhya reunite forms the other part of the story.

Performances

Manchu Vishnu is good in action sequences and comedy scenes. He improved in comic timing and dances in Doosukeltha. He could improve a bit more in dialogue delivery.

Lavanya is beautiful and she has good scope since the story revolves around her role. She delivers an okay job.

Brahmanandam is a treat to watch while Vennela Kishore is hilarious. Kota Srinivasa Rao is significant, Bharat, Hema did their jobs as required. Ali is limited. Others were adequate.

Technical Analysis

Mani Sharma’s musical scores are mediocre but they are visually appealing with beautiful locales in the backdrop. Background score is good. Cinematography is neat, editing is crisp. Story is routine while the screenplay is gripping. Dialogues are interesting. Veeru Potla scores as director once again. Production values are good.

Analysis

Veeru Potla made Doosukeltha with right mix of commercial elements. The story though routine is sensible and screenplay is gripping. The first half is filled with ample comedy and Vishnu, Brahmi scenes are a treat to watch. The second half is implemented in Ready style format with punchlines. Brahmanandam and Bharath have done a very good job. Climax looked silly with illogical action scenes. Lakshmi Manchu has nothing to do for the film and it’s just a cameo for few seconds. The makers have hyped her song as a promotional strategy.

Despite Veeru Potla coming up with routine storyline, he presented it an interesting way with loads of hilarious scenes. Right from the word go Doosukeltha offers entertainment. Vishnu Manchu has been opting for a safe route of comedy entertainers rather than experiments and Doosukeltha is one such film that garners positive response for its entertainment.

Final Verdict

Despite routine story, Doosukeltha is worth a watch for its hilarious scenes…

Pawan watches AD; will it cross Magadheera?

Share

Power Star Pawan Kalyan finally watched his amazing entertainer Attarintiki Daaredi. Though Pawan’s fans and even movie lovers enjoyed watching the film twice or thrice, Pawan is watching it for the first time.

Pawan who is not used to watching his own films, watched the film along with his close friends at Prasads Preview labs. He only watches the film in edit room. Pawan along with Trivikram watched the film.

Pawan who is not used to talk about collections about his films, spoke about the collections of Attarintiki Daaredi. His Gabbar Singh 2 is all set to go to regular shooting this month end.

AD collected more than Rs.63 cr so far and Rs.10 cr shy of Magadheera collections. Let’s wait and whether Ad break the Magadheera record and become the highest grosser in the Tollywood history.

Can ‘Aagadu’ succeed without Brahmi?

Share

For any star hero to score big success at the box office, the presence of comedy has become very important. And for comedy to be good, the best comedians have to be there. The first preference always goes to Brahmanandam. And his combination with director Sreenu Vaitla was responsible for many blockbusters.

Films like ‘Dhee’ ‘Ready’ ‘Dookudu’ created a lot of records. But now, one question has come up. It is heard that Sreenu Vaitla is currently busy with preparing the shooting for his new film ‘Aagadu’ and he is reportedly not looking at Brahmanandam in this film. Sources say Vaitla wants to prove his talent without Brahmi.

In a way it is a different attempt but can ‘Aagadu’ really succeed without Brahmi? There is the Mahesh Babu factor but without a strong comedy track and that too in Vaitla’s films, it is difficult. Though nothing is officially confirmed, it is a big challenge for the team of ‘Aagadu’ if Brahmi is really not there.

Jr NTR’s secret meetings

Share

If one takes an average of the last three films that Junior NTR has done it can be said that his success at the box office is way below his caliber and image. And it looks like even he has realized the same after the result of his latest film ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’ at the box office.

There are no complaints on the young tiger’s performance or his contribution but it is going wrong with the director selection and storyline. With this, it is heard that Junior NTR has decided to clean up the whole thing. As a result, buzz is that he has gone into some series of serious meetings with few groups. All this is happening very secretly, as per sources.

First in that list are his fans. It is heard that Junior NTR is very seriously taking the feedback from them and what kind of films he must choose to pick up. He is also working on what problems his fans are facing. He is now busy with the shooting of his new movie ‘Rabhasa’ so let us hope his groundwork really fetches him a blockbuster soon.

Directors Hungama At Charan’s Office

Share

Earlier it used to be very tough to narrate a story to mega Powerstar Ram Charan. But with Thoofan hitting him quite hard, Charan is taking a much needed break and is listening to all the guys who are coming across him. His office turned into a place of hungama with many directors frequently flickering there.

There are speculations that all those directors who scored blockbusters in the past and not in a good form now, are heading to Charan only. First to go is director Krishna Vamsi who is not scoring his trademark hits these days. Already he is confirmed of a project and the ground work is said to be going on. Though the movie announcement is to be made on Dasara eve, due to some unknown reasons it is still kept a secret. Latest buzz is that director Dasarath who scored flop with Nag’s Greekuveerudu is now narrating a script to Charan. Another director, Karunkaran is also heard meeting Mega Powerstar the other day to convince him for a project.

All these directors are not at their best form at the moment, but provided with proper star support, they will no doubt score big blockbusters. Let us whom Charan will pick and what he deliver for his gigantic mega fans.

Lagadapati Shifted His Business Ventures

Share

The more Lagadapati Rajgopal advocates Samaikyandhra, the more he faces criticism from some Telangana based leaders that the Vijayawada MP is only trying to protect his multi-crore worth infrastructure in Hyderabad city. But they say that Lagadapati is now moving all of his assets to Vijayawada and Delhi, and Hyderabad is not his lunch box anymore.

Time and again, Lagadapati says that state will be united and assures that he will take political celibacy if at all Congress party splits the state of Andhra Pradesh. Irrespective of his promises and rants, high-command has decided to split AP and the process is already under way. TDP general secretary Anuradha has vent fumes at the Vijayawada MP for fooling people with his false show, and for trying to steal attention like a warrior for Seemandhra people. ‘When  Lagadapati is so confident about united-AP, why he is shifting his business ventures to other cities?’ asked Anuradha. Also she pointed out why Lagadapati is not able to make all Cong Seemandhra MPs resign.

Anyway, like Telangana leaders accused many times that some rich Andhra leaders are fighting for united-AP only for the cause of their businesses, those accusations will come true if Lagadapati really shifts his business ventures and state gets bifurcated. Let us see.

Pawan Kalyan meets Ramoji Rao?

Share

Pawan Kalyan’s fire filled speech at Attarintiki Daredi has become talk of the town. TV Media has been focusing big on this and carrying long stories by reading between the lines. Pawan opined that piracy of AD was a conspiracy and few big names were involved in it. He warned them that he would make sure to bring them to justice. These topics are being discussed all over social media networks and other circles. However, if you had keenly followed Pawan’s speech, he has made it clear that he is having bigger plans. “Piracy is a petty issue. We have bigger things to deal with. I will be meeting you many more times and we shall DO…,” Pawan spoke in a determined tone.

 What are those bigger things? What was Pawan Kalyan referring to? There were rumors about his political plans in the recent past and Pawan’s speech indicates that he is inclined to make a political entry. Pawan has a burning zeal to do something to the society and the people. He has worked hard to make it possible by giving his hundred percent to his brother’s Praja Rajyam party. But that didn’t happen as PRP failed and Pawan Kalyan too was not pleased with the things had turned out. He has been staying away from politics from that time. But off late we have been hearing reports about discussions happening around him about his political entry.

As per grapevine, Pawan Kalyan has met media baron, King maker Ramoji Rao twice in the recent past and had long talks with him. If this were true, the rumors about Pawan Kalyan joining Telugu Desam Party can’t be taken lightly. As of now Pawan Kalyan is a huge force in Andhra Pradesh state. Youth are going mad for him. Even the middle class people feel that Pawan Kalyan is an honest man. During the recent agitations in Seemandhra region, many felt that Pawan Kalyan can be the leader to lead them. A political analyst said “Pawan Kalyan may not float a new party after closely looking at the fate of Chiranjeevi’s party. He may join with some existing party and he is not a great supporter of Congress party. So he will have to choose between TDP and YSRCP. If that’s the case, he will definitely go with TDP as Pawan openly opposed YSR’s administration during 2009 election campaign. Recently I have seen few hoardings being erected for Attarintiki Daredi movie by TDP leaders. Have you seen TDP leaders supporting Pawan Kalyan’s movie in the past? I am not saying that these things have a role to play. But we can’t ignore them too. After hearing to what Pawan Kalyan spoke at Attarintiki Daredi function, I can sense that the actor is planning to enter politics very soon. He may or may not do that immediately. But the rumors about his meetings with media barons and other indications do give us an idea about where the star hero is heading..!”
