Nani is bettering his previous records with each new release. His films have huge market in the US and it has been proved once again.

As per a report in ToI, Ninnu Kori collected $170K from its premiers on Thursday in US. The official numbers are yet to come in from distributors and exhibitors but the rough estimate reportedly stands at $170K. This number is just a tad higher than the premier collections of Nani’s last film, ‘Nenu Local’ which had collected $167K in US.

Given the craze of Nani starrers, Ninnu Kori was released in 145 screens in US. The film’s overseas distribution rights were reportedly acquired for 3.50 crore.The film has opened to decent collections in the Telugu states as well, according to early trade reports.

Mom, a highly anticipated feature film starring veteran diva Sridevi in lead role, hit screens today. The response for the film is underwhelming despite Sridevi’s believable performance.

The film belongs to rape-revenge drama genre. How a mother takes law in her own hands and avenges when her daughter’s rapists are acquitted for the lack of incriminating evidence is the film’s basic story line.

The film has a connecting emotional touch, sometimes over-melodramatic though, but logic goes missing often. How a vulnerable and an elderly woman plans and executes strong and influential men with such unbelievable ease..wonder the viewers of ‘Mom’.

With her powerful performance, Sridevi brought alive the vulnerabilities in her character.. Nawazudding Siddiqui’s creepy performance as a detective is another factor that makes one sit through this unconvincing drama. The rest of the cast has also done neat job. The cliched execution has let down Sridevi’s efforts in ‘Mom’.

Rana Daggubati and Kajal look to have shared some scintillating chemistry in their upcoming film ‘Nene Raju Nene Manthri’. Kajal looks extremely gorgeous in sarees and her romantic scenes with Rana promise a titillating treat to her fans.

Directed by Teja, this political thriller is slated for release on August 11.

The rumors of Akkineni Nagarjuna joining Jagan’s YSRC party have been doing rounds for past few days. When we contacted our reliable sources, they have quashed these reports as baseless.

Nagarjuna used to maintain close association with late CM YS Rajasekhara Reddy when he was in power, and now he has become a close pal of TS CM KCR and his son KTR. He keeps good association with all parties but refrains from directly involving in politics.

When YSR was the CM of united AP, Nag endorsed a few government schemes allegedly in lieu of the CM’s support for his business endeavors. He however never campaigned for any party. Because of his close ties with Nimmagadda Prasad, an acquaintance of Jagan, gossipmongers have started speculating that the actor was inclined towards joining YCP.

Nagarjuna is based in Hyderabad, he has most of his business ventures in and around the city. Why would he join YCP which has almost zero existence in Telangana? Why not join TRS if he has political ambitions?

With the kind of stardom and popularity he has, Nag would have joined politics very long back if he had such intentions. He has been staying distant from politics because he doesn’t want himself to limit to one party, and have amicable relation with whoever is in power. To summarize in one sentence, Nagarjuna is a clever businessman who plays to the galleries.

If we have to go by the reports being published by NTR Arts, the production house that is coming up with “Jai Lava Kusa” movie featuring Jr NTR in the lead, other day’s teaser of the movie has created a storm. In less than 22 hours, it got 7 million hits when all the hits on various digital platforms combined.

Needless to say, the teaser of the “Jai” character that has negative shades is very impressive for its dialogue and visuals. And Jr NTR presented himself in a new way to outshine all the heroes who have done negative shaded roles till date. But it’s not just a good teaser that attracts many viewers, but there should be some strong promotions too.

In the recent times, we’ve seen Katamarayudu and Spyder teasers heavily promoted on Facebook with 1 in every 5th post showcasing a ‘promoted’ featurette of these teasers. Now, Jai Lava Kusa team has carved out another interesting idea to promote the teaser. Generally, we see many skippable ads during the starting of a video on YouTube and JLK team is using that.

Many people in Telugu states and those browsers filled with cookies related to Telugu films and content close it, are now watching JLK teaser as an advertisement during the start of many videos. That will obviously pique curiosity and help the teaser get more clicks.

The teaser introducing the character of ‘Jai’ from NTR’s ‘Jai Lava Kusa’ is breaking internet. Fans and celebs alike are floored by NTR’s impeccable dialogue delivery and menacing expressions in the teaser.

While everyone is pouring compliments on NTR, veteran director K Raghavendra Rao has applauded him with some heroism-elevating words.

The veteran took to twitter to praise NTR. He said that a Star needs guts to do a character like Jai, and NTR has such courage. ‘I am waiting to see NTR’s ‘Da Da…Dhairyam’ (Guts) on silver screen.’ he wrote.

Not just KRR, but the Telugu film lovers in general are wowed by the teaser, and now they are eagerly waiting to witness NTR’s ‘Nata Viswaroopam’ on big screen. The film is tentatively slated for release on September 21.
