The Jungle Book of Jon Favreau is out in theaters and it garnered best reviews all over for its emotions and connectivity. The reboot and high end graphical version of 1967 classic ‘The Jurassic Park’ is paying a huge tribute to the original and we have to say it is better than the classic itself at many points.

A lost toddler ‘Mowgli’ in Jungle is being raised by Wolf pack leader Akela (voice by Giancarlo Esposito) and later protected by the leopard Bagheera (Ben Kingsley) from the tiger Sher Khan (Idris Elba). He gets deep into the Jungle in a mishap and finds all new friends bear Baloo (Bill Murray) and Snake Kaa (Scarlett Johannson) and others. The voices by popular movie stars just pumped the life into CGI characters and director gets the credit for choosing each one of them.

The detailing and CGI elements shaped the movie like a real world and the graphics part does not look unreal and distracting, thanks to the blending.

Hero of the movie ‘the Mowgli’ Neel Sethi deserves an applause for fitting the bill. He added more charm to the character with his animated talk to other graphic characters at times. Neel Sethi has had a lot of burden which he carried with ease and one can hardly realize how tough it was for a 11 year old kid to be the only human on screen.

The Jungle Book is one of the best movies in recent times and it deserves to be watched in theatres for best experience.

One of the leading actresses down south, Samantha made her silver screen debut with Naga Chaitanya’s Ye Maya Chesave. Their pair was a super hit and both Sam and Chay appeared together in two more films, Autonagar Surya and Manam.

Of late, there has been a lot of buzz about the growing ‘friendship’ between these two young stars and some rumours even have it that both Chay and Sam are seeing each other. And Samantha’s latest Twitter act is adding fuel to these rumours.

Yesterday, Chay tweeted a new poster of his upcoming film Premam as a Ugadi treat. In her reaction, Samantha not only retweeted Chay’s poster but also tweeted two ‘hearts’ to Chay. Rarely does Sam tweet about other films and this got people reading between the lines in her response to Chay’s film.

Sam’s excitement is clearly hinting that she is spilling the beans about her fondness for Chay. Also, this is not the first time that both Samantha and Naga Chaitanya displayed some PDA on Twitter. Well, let’s wait until the cat is out of the bag.

Young Rebel Star Prabhas almost toiled for three years with Baahubali – The Beginning and finally it became memorable by becoming one of the biggest hits in the history of Indian Cinema. Again he will not have any release in 2016 and his Baahubali – The Conclusion will only release in April 2017.

The actor reportedly is planning to start 2-3 films in 2017 itself. The actor reportedly wants to work with young talent and is also eyeing the subjects which can be completed in 70-80 days. Two of these projects will be produced by his friends on their UV Creations. They made their debut to Telugu Cinema with Prabhas’ Mirchi.

It will be really tough for Prabhas to handle the expectations after the release of Baahubali-The Conclusion. So in order to keep them under check, he will work with young directors so that the hype is under check. Anyways Prabhas fans will have a big treat in 2017 from their favourite star.

Stylish Star Allu Arjun’s Sarainodu will also have a simultaneous release in Malayalam. The Malayalam version is titled Yodhaav – The Warrior and the dubbing works are going on at brisk pace. The audio of the film is already out in the market and is garnering decent response.

The makers are planning to increase their promotions with a Pre-release hungama function in Vishakapatnam on tomorrow at RK Beach, Vishakapatnam. They are planning to release the movie on April 22nd as Summer Special.

Both Bunny and Boyapati are on a high after their recent successes – S/O Satyamurthy and Legend. Anjali will be dancing for an item song in the film. Rakul Preet Singh is romancing Bunny for the first time in this film.

Catherine Tresa who already romanced Bunny in Iddarammayilatho, is playing the second female lead in the movie. Gundello Godari fame Aadi Pinnisetty is turning baddie with this movie. Bunny’s father Allu Aravind is producing the film on his Geeta Arts Banner. SS Thaman is scoring the music.

Baahubali – The Conclusion release is about an year away but the movie had already started creating new records. The rights of the film for West Godavari were picked up for a whopping 6.25 Crore. This is the highest price ever offered for any Telugu film in West. Back then, Baahubali – The Beginning was sold out for 4.8 Crore back then with 50 Lakhs Recovery in it.

In the past, we have several rumours about leading stars like Hrithik Roshan, Suriya, Shriya etc playing crucial roles in the film, but they all ended up as mere gossips. The makers more or less confirmed that there will not be any new additions for the film in the second part.

The movie shooting is going on at brisk pace. The makers of SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus film, Baahubali – The Conclusion have already revealed their plans of releasing the film on April 14th, 2017 as Summer Special.

On the other side, the makers of the film are planning to release the First Look Teaser of the movie on the eve of Dussehra. 14th April, 2017 is considered as excellent release timing for the film as Summer, Tamil New Year, Good Friday and No Bollywood biggies before or after 50 days.

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s Sardaar Gabbar Singh had taken a sensational opening on its release day, despite all that negative talk. The movie had collected 20.92 Crore Share from both the Telugu States which is a non-Baahubali record. The movie replaced Srimanthudu from the Second Spot with a convenient margin.

The movie had a clear lead from Baahubali in the Coastal Andhra Collections but Baahubali is ahead in Ceeded and Nizam region. Given the talk and reviews are disappointing, we will have to see how the film fares from Monday. Pawan Kalyan’s Star Power will do the trick for the first weekend.

Here is the breakup of Sardaar Gabbar Singh First day Collections: 

Nizam: 5.02 Crore
Ceeded: 4.1 Crore
