April 10, 2012

Ram Charan’s Racha has turned into a huge money spinner at the Box Office. The first week share of the film is expected to be anywhere between Rs. 25-30 crore.

The trade pundits say, if Racha continues its strong run for the next couple of weeks then it will find a place in the All Time Top 5 Grossers list. As the next biggie ‘Dammu’ was postponed to April 27th of this month, there seems to be no stopping for Racha now.

In a four films career, two of his films (Magadheera – No.1, Racha – No. 5) sealed place in the list of TOP 5 Grosser movies in the Industry. This is a remarkable achievement and a benchmark set by the heir of Megastar Chiranjeevi. Great going Charan!

Naga Chaitanya and Samantha are coming up with their next venture ‘Autonagar Surya’ very soon. Already, we’ve seen their perfect chemistry in ‘Ye Maya Chesave’ and one can expect them to take it to next level with Autonagar Surya.

Raviteja comes face to face with NTR

April 10, 2012

Few days ago there was talk that Raviteja’s Daruvu movie release has been postponed indefinitely due to heavy competition. But the makers of Daruvu released a press statement that their film is going to release on time without fail. As per the producer Daruvu will be released on May 4th. That means it will be released exactly a week after NTR’s Dammu is released.

Dammu is going for an all out release with more than thousand theaters on its first day. Although it is releasing so big, it is impossible to collect all its costs in one week. So Dammu will need another week without much competition to enter the safe zone. But Raviteja is not going to take the back step as of now.

With so many biggies lined up for release in May and June, Daruvu makers feel that May 4th is the ideal date to release their film. This clash can affect Dammu as well as Daruvu. Let’s see if D and D come to an agreement and maintain good gap to the benefit of each other.

Racha blockbuster @ Ram Charan’s dedication

April 10, 2012

After doing record business over the first weekend, Racha continued to impress on Monday too. The collections on the fifth day are as good as third day, which indicates that Racha is going super strong at the box office. At this rate Racha will break first week record (AP and India) of Businessman by a very good margin.

Luckily, for Racha there is no major release in this week. Adhinayakudu was postponed to 19th of April and therefore Racha will still remain the first choice film for audience even in its second week. Added to that tenth class exams are over now and students and their families will throng to the theaters to catch the latest blockbuster.

Racha is being benefitted by superb timing of release, which would have not been possible if Ram Charan didn’t take the risk. Charan was injured during the last phase of Racha shooting and the film’s release looked almost impossible at one point. But Charan has completed Singareni Undi song by taking painkillers. His dedication ensured the film’s release on time and Racha attained blockbuster status with the help of the long weekend and summer holidays.

April 10, 2012

Bollywood beauty Priyanka Chopra was paid Rs 36 lakhs to turn spiritual for 5 minute. If you can’t believe this, read the story below.

“This life which was given by the God is very beautiful, as I have two hands, I can walk, I can talk with you and I can hear you. God has given to me everything because he thinks I’m his child. Coming to here and sitting on this stage reminded me of this words after a long time. For that, I thank you,” said Priyanka, while speaking at the event.

Hearing Priyanka’s words if you come to a conclusion that the hot beauty turned spiritual, then you are mistaken. The organisers have paid for her every word and for her every minute stay at the event. For this event, Priyanka came straight away from the airport and she was accompanied by her father. She pocketed Rs 36 lakhs for a 5 minute appearance at the event.

However, Piggy Chops avoided the media after sensing that they might question about she getting pricey. In the past, we have seen many celebs charging money for their presence at events, weddings and other promotional activities. But, Priyanka has taken this to a next level by charging the staggering amount per 5 minutes. Who hates having money?

‘Chiru-ness Vs Charan’ In Long Run!

April 10, 2012

While magnum opus ‘Magadheera’ unveiled the striking performance him, ‘Racha’ proved that he is a stupendous extension to his father, megastar Chiranjeevi. But, can this ‘Chiru-ness’ help him win accolades in the coming future is the question.

Chiranjeevi’s mannerisms are the ones that bowled out fans after his spectacular dances and fights. Likewise, Charan also started to adopt those mannerisms in ‘Racha’. However, he hasn’t tried anything new, but simply carbon copied his dad’s work from movies like ‘Gangleader’ and ‘Gharanamogudu’. In delivering punch dialogues, walking crazily and while talking with villains, it’s Chiru we feel rather Charan. Critics are saying that in the long run ‘Chiru-ness’ may not help him grow in terms of a star-hero as people are bored with such ‘mass’ gestures already.

But, fans are denying this, saying ‘We’ll be happy if Charan continues as an extension to Megastar. He has already proved his mettle as an actor. So, let him now do his dad’s stuff to enthrall us’. As long as story supports the film, any characterization suits these star-kids well for the kind of fan-base they have.

Biggest weak link of Gabbar Singh

April 10, 2012

Pawan Kalyan’s Gabbar Singh is raising expectations with even a ten second teaser. Recently released teaser about the audio release has clicked with Power fans. Pawan’s dance and his expressions are instantly liked by his fans and followers. However there is one weak link that is worrying them. That is none other than the heroine of Gabbar Singh, Shruti Haasan.

Two shots of Shruti were shown in the teaser and she looked very odd in the village belle attire. Besides, her makeup is awkward in those scenes. Pawan fans are hoping for the best and praying that Shruti looks better on the screen. As far as fans are concerned, they are hoping Gabbar Singh to be a blockbuster and they don’t want any weak link to mar the film’s success range.

Shruti has been termed as the ‘iron leg lady’ as all her films she starred in were ended up as flops. Therefore Pawan fans are a little bit worried about her ‘luck’ factor to affect the fate of Gabbar Singh. Nowadays heroines are playing big role in making a film super hit. Hence, Shruti should be on the list of Gabbar Singh’s highlights but not among the drawbacks.

Luck favoured me : Akkineni Nageshwara Rao

April 9, 2012

“I am the luckiest man in the world,” said veteran actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao, who was jointly felicitated by TSR Kala Parishat and Telugu filmdom at a star-studded function held at Shiplakavedikda on Monday, for completing 75 years as an actor on film and stage.

Attributing his success to luck, he said he believed in hard work to overcome the struggles he faced at varied phases of an illustrious career. “Maybe luck favours the brave, and I should thank my mother who allowed me to be an actor from the age of nine, since I wasn’t good at studies and did stage plays before getting into films,” he said.

His biggest luck, he says, was having filmmaker Bhalaramaiyah spot him at a railway station. “That changed my destiny,” ANR said, expressing his thanks to those present for their support. Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, who was the chief guest on the occasion, said, “It’s an impeccable achievement. I enjoyed watching his movies from childhood and I would like to see more of his films.”

Rajya Sabha member T. Subbarami Reddy, who jointly organised the event with the Telugu film fraternity, and who has known the actor for 40 years, felt that ANR deserved the Bharat Ratna “for his memorable acting career and for being a great human being, also having a sharp mind”.

‘Gabbar Singh’ is far above Salman Khan

April 9, 2012

For all those constructively thinking critics, here is somewhat dissimilar analysis going in film circles on pawan kalyan and his upcoming ‘Gabbar Singh.’ For any hero who is attempting a remake with other language super duper hit films, logically comparisons are to bob up with original to do damage the remake. Unlikely feature happening these days with ‘Gabbar Singh’ is expectations are rising far and far.

More than Salman’s actual mannerisms in ‘Dabangg,’ our Telugu people are finding pawan kalyan as perfectly suitable for the cop character. However, just one dialogue in first teaser and two dance movements in today released audio promo are seen as enough samples to witness a Powerful Comedy Treat in coming days. With few more days left for audio launch function, clear observation is ‘Gabbar Singh’ will not have any adverse effects either from superb run of ‘Dabangg’ or its hero Salman because Pawan Is Special and just incomparable.

Whom should Charan follow ? – Chiru or Pawan ?

April 9, 2012

For any actor to have a long life and everlasting recognition, he or she needs to develop a style of own. For the young breed of actors coming from celebrity families, achieving stardom hasn’t become a big bother. They are rendering super duper/industry hits just with in the early stages. But, how long will they sustain this speed and what is the mantra to always be a heart throb for Fans.

On a case study, we can take the name of Junior NTR who for most of the time tried to follow the paths of either Babai Balakrishna or Grand Pa NTR, both in selection of films and emulation of their mannerisms. Some how, this formula was just a partial success. On the other side, if we take Pawan Kalyan…he never put up a show of imitating Mega Star chiranjeevi. In fact, Pawan has dug his own passage to reach stardom. That is in fact the major reason why he is still in demand even with very bad track record from last few years.

Coming to the core point, Ramcharan for most of time copying the actions of his dad chiranjeevi in ‘Rachcha’ isn’t liked by many. For one or two mannerisms, it can be reasoned on hereditary traits but trying to become a ditto copy of Chiru isn’t appreciable. So, a kind suggestion from Fans for Charan is better to follow the course of his Babai and strive for originality which will develop individuality.

Hot hero expresses desire for Ileana

April 9, 2012

She is called the sexy hip beauty and though she hails from Goa, she has become the ruling queen of hearts in Tollywood. She is none other than Ileana and right now it appears that Ileana is silently climbing her way in Bollywood. The reason we say this is after hearing this interesting bit from Mumbai.

It is heard that the vegetarian hunk Shahid Kapoor has been appealed by the glamour of Ileana and has expressed a desire to pair with her in his new movie. This happens to be the remake of the Tamil movie ‘Vettai’. Buzz is that the makers have already informed Ileana and are waiting for her to return from Bangkok to have further discussions.

Already, Ileana is almost ready with her debut movie in Bollywood titled as ‘Barfee’ wherein she is pairing up with young hunk Ranbir Kapoor. And if the second biggie also gets confirmed then the hardcore fans of Ileana in Andhra Pradesh may better get prepared to not see her on Telugu screens for a while.

Hot Actress becomes Ram Charan’s villain

April 9, 2012

Ram Gopal Varma has a specialized hand when it comes to choosing his villains. Right from Raghuvaran as ‘Bhavani’ in ‘Shiva’ to Abhimanyu Singh as ‘Bukka Reddy’ in ‘Rakta Charitra’, he is class apart. The same goes to his taste towards the ladies of his movie.

One such girl who shot to limelight due to Ramu is Mahie Gill. She was seen in the Hindi movie ‘Not A Love Story’ and gave a riveting performance. Now, it is heard that Mahie will be seen as the bad girl in mega powerstar Ram Charan Tej’s film. We are talking about his Bollywood debut the remake of ‘Zanjeer’.

Buzz is that Mahie has bagged the highly coveted role of ‘Mona Darling’ and she would be seen alongside the powerhouse actor Prakash Raj. Known for that extra dose of oomph and a wild sex appeal, Mahie’s presence is surely increasing the brand value of the film. Let us see who else joins the list.

‘Racha’ Is Show-Reel For Ram Charan

April 9, 2012

Some movies never stand out as ‘masterpiece’ but they lay foundation for the prosperity of their hero. Looks like, same thing is happening with ‘Racha’ for our Mega Power Star.

Irrespective of an old fashioned story and simple narration, Racha is doing wonders at Box Office only due to the stamina of RamCharan. ‘With that thumping energy and thunderous voice, Charan proved the real star in him. It is working in his favor to woo producers from different cine circuits’, say critics. Right from Bollywood to Kollywood many big production houses are now gearing up to sign deals with Charan after watching his sparkling show in this latest flick.

A source from Hindi circuit reveals that if Charan scores marks with his Bolly debut ‘Zanjeer’, then there is no doubt he will become ‘star’ across the Indian film circuits. One can now say, Racha is more of a showreel of Charan to impress producers than a blockbuster movie.
