Pawanism! The Second Religion Of Tollywood

Share
The first religion of Tollywood is none other than ‘cinema’. Now, there is a serious rise of the followers of this particular theme called ‘Pawanism’, making it the second largest religion of cine-folks.
From directors to actors to producers who worked with Powerstar Pawan Kalyan, it has become a habit to describe their hero as a God. If a couple of producers and directors say this, we can write off it as an exaggeration. What if, the whole of Tollywood’s folks keep chanting the word ‘Pawan’, making ‘Pawanism’ the second religion of Telugu Cinema Industry. ‘It is not because of his stardom, but due to his attitude and abnormal human qualities’, felt a film critic. People like Raviteja and Ram rose to stardom only after imitating Pawan Kalyan in their initial movies. Others like Ganesh, Harish Shankar and Karunakaran got their break only after associating with him and hence they show that extreme courtesy. Top directors like Rajamouli, Sreenu Vytla and Trivikram die to make movies with Pawan, because of his extreme down to earth nature.
Even audiences love Pawan Kalyan from the bottom of their heart and that is the reason for his flop movies to recover the full investment. They say it is difficult to peel out the reasons behind this craze for Pawan, but his positive energy and helping nature are one of the facts that create vibrations in the hearts of his fans. Interestingly, this ‘Pawanism’ has fans of many heroes as its followers.

Tamanna is best at Mingling with Co Heroines

Share
Most of the times star heroine throw tantrums when they come across other starlets of the tinsel town. But, Tamanna is worth mentioning for her easy mingling nature despite her craze.
At the recent audio launch of Ram’s upcoming ‘Endukante Premanta’, Tamanna is witnessed courting her best nature. The stage became quite glamorous with the presence of ravishing damsels like Shriya and Kajal along with our milky beauty. Most of the time, Tammu is seen engaging with everyone at the function, including the other two hotties. While Shriya and Kajal maintained distance with each other, Tamanna mingled with both of them at ease.
‘There is no sign of attitude or hot headedness in Tamanna even after scoring back to back hits these days’, an onlooker revealed. If glamour and performance gets you back to back movies, right attitude gets you a long run and the best example is Tamanna. What is your say, guys?

Brahmanandam’s Dream Project with Triple Role

Share
He is called the comedy king of Tollywood and atleast six out of ten films that release have him in one role or other. He is Brahmanandam fondly known as Brahmi and while he has carved a special niche of his own in the comedy league, it is heard that he has decided to come up with something different.
News is that Brahmi is working on a special project wherein he would be seen in triple role. And here is the best part. The three roles would be that of grandfather, father and son. Not only that, the role of the son would be of a mentally challenged individual so it is more of a message oriented flick with entertainment.
It is heard that this is the dream project of Brahmi and he has been working on that since quite a while. Given the current demand for his presence in many movies and various other obligations, Brahmi is reportedly going at a slow pace but the day is not far when his dream project will become a reality.

Star Heroes making Films only for Fans ?

Share
A look at the recent audio releases and the films releasing makes you clear about one thing, films are made for fans. But experts say that there is a difference between fans and audiences. Here goes the story! 
Filmmakers like Boyapati and Harish Shankar recently gave statements that they are making films keeping the taste of fans in view to match their expectations. Are these directors and their star heroes distancing from audiences with these statements is a big question now. If only Mahesh fans had watched ‘Pokiri’ and ‘Dookudu’, both could not garner huge collections. ‘Businessman’ failed to recreate magic, because the film is intended only for fans. ‘Magadheera’ became a big hit only due to the viewership of all heroes’ fans but not just mega-fans. Irrespective of the mega-craze, ‘Racha’ is able to collect its investment back, but didn’t turn up a trend setter. 
Critics say that directors should change their mindsets to make movies for ‘audience’ but not just for ‘fans’. With their fan-loving movies, industry will get work but it cannot get a page for itself in history. Till date, 2012 has not seen a proper movie that is loved by all sections of audiences. Let us see if any director could come up with a movie that everyone loves to watch!

Handsome Hunk in love with Hyderabadi Girl !?

Share
Daggubati Rana didn’t achieve much as an actor yet. He is still trying to learn the basics of acting and we have to see when he will really impress us as an actor. Although his acting and dancing has nothing to rave about, there is one thing that attracts the media about him. He tries to be close with his female costars and that keeps him in news.
Bollywood grapevine still believes that he is having an affair with Bipasha Basu. But Rana says she is just his friend and there is no place for romance between them. He was also linked to Trisha in the recent times. He laughed off those rumors and said that Trisha is his 3 AM friend. Okay, is there anyone in the film industry that he wants to be romantically involved with?
Rana says he is not seeing anyone from the industry because he has a girlfriend and she is a non-filmy girl from Hyderabad. Rana didn’t give any details about her other than this information. He said that marriage is not on the cards for him right now. Now it’s up to the paparazzi to find out that mysterious girl in Rana’s life.

Pawan’s Gabbarsingh fears with High Expectations

Share
Films having high expectations can rest assured of a grand opening, but most of the times they would turn dangerous for the film’s prospects at box office. A film with high expectations should meet those to survive at the box office. Or else it would be rejected right on day 1. Even average content won’t help the film to stay afloat!
NTR’s Dammu is a prime example for over hype turning into the biggest disadvantage for the movie. This film was overly hyped by the makers and they didn’t try to lower the expectations at all. Audiences and fans expected this film to be a great visual treat, but Dammu was average at best. Had this film released with a minimum expectations, the response would have been different.
Racha was released amidst nil expectations and turned out to be an average fare. Audiences were more than pleased with that and made the film a blockbuster. The next big release Gabbar Singh is riding on high expectations like Dammu. So the film should live up to the expectations to satisfy the viewers. Or else Gabbar too will have to suffer the consequences of over hype.

Hot Heroine takes break from Dammu disappointment

Share
Like expected, this petite beauty is looking like ‘sister’ to Jr.NTR in his latest film ‘Dammu’. Unable to face the severe criticism, she is heard taking a month break from all activities before she joins another Telugu film crew for a shoot.
Trisha is slowly losing her grip on Tollywood and her latest ‘Dammu’ is the perfect example. If you keep the casting debacle which made her an inappropriate pick beside NTR aside, Trisha’s role is also limited and just for songs. A hot beauty that has done meaty roles in terms of both performance and glamour has chosen a pretty ordinary role to add just another movie to her credit with this flick.
However, she revealed that she is taking a break for the whole month of May before she announces the details of her upcoming Telugu projects. Sources revealed that she has only Raviteja’s untitled movie in her hands, otherwise her stint with Tollywood is over. Anyways, let her forget all bad memories in May and see what she is offering for TFI next!

No Good Dances from Jr NTR in Dammu ?

Share
Jr. NTR is one of the best dancers that Telugu cinema has ever seen. After Chiranjeevi’s era, he was the first to make a lasting impression on audiences with razor speed dance moves. Later Allu Arjun arrived and proved to be an equally good dancer. NTR was once ranked as the best among the current generation heroes in the dancing department.
Allu Arjun has put in lot of efforts to beat him in dances and with Arya 2 and Badrinath, Arjun took the number one slot in the best dancers list. At the same time NTR stopped to thrill his fans with extra ordinary dance moves. After Adurs, NTR is not dancing like before. In Dammu, even his fans are being shocked to see NTR moving like a very ordinary dancer.
The speed and grace are completely missing. He is one of the heroes who can bring repeat audiences just for dances. But in Dammu, the dancer in NTR was missing. Is this because of poor choreography or lack of interest or due to the injury he suffered during that fatal accident? Whatever may be the reason, NTR fans are badly missing the great dancer. Let’s hope he bounces back very soon and takes over the top place yet again.
