Tollywood Box Office Report »>>

1. Happy Days: The film is still going unbeatable and theaters are still seen with housefuls. The film proved to be tremendous hit at home and abroad. Sekhar Kammula proved his mettle once again and the film sits in position-1 of the toppers list of the week.

2. Tulasi : The film bagged big opening collections, it being the film of a big star. The talk on the film is now divided everywhere. But Venkatesh’s films run well if the positive talk is at least somewhere. The film is made with full commercial punch targeting all sets of audiences. The film sits in position-2 of the toppers list of the week.

3. Chiruta: There is some drop in the collections everywhere. Except weekends, the other days are not seen housefuls. Now the only hope is that as the dasara season started, the film goes to safe zone. All that depends on the talk of Athidhi as well that is releasing this week. The film sits in position-3 of the toppers list of the week.

4. Chandamama: The film has gone into safe zone long back and the collections are still impressive. Family audiences have patronized the film a lot. Although there are some feeble knots with respect to story line, many considered it to be a violence free family entertainer. It sits in position-4 of toppers list of the week.

5. Yamadonga: The collections have come down drastically but still surviving in some theaters. Although 50 day run proved to be an easy walk for this film, the run towards 100 days proves to be very difficult. The competition from new films also disturbed the tempo of this flick. It sits in position-5 of the toppers list of the week.

Dirty politics creeping into the film industry by FAN ASSOCIATIONS



Fan associations in Andhra Pradesh are very much playing mind politics in their cinema Promos. In the previous days in the period of ANR and NTR regime cinema publicity was in newspapers and by mouth talk. They used to distribute pamphlets and also announce orally about the star cast and about the brief story and also the theatre names in which the film was being screened

.

Then the period of Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna came and they ruled the industry for a brief period . The publicity was through news papers and other media sources .As the time passed the competition among the hero’s grew as some of the films of every hero was a hit .

As time passed the films publicity also grew in parallel to its substance. Nowadays the films are releasing but only few films are going upto the theatres and this may be due to several reasons like poor Star Cast, Lack of Budget or lack of film Distributers. Distributers also are not willing to risk by pushing the low budget films with dull subjects and star casts to the theatres .

But now a days from about 10 years some heroe’s like Chiru, Nagarjuna, Venkatesh , Mahesh, Junior NTR,etc……….are not only acting in the films but they are also maintaining their Fan Associations by giving them Financial Support and also the required Political Background .
These fan association’s duty is to block the theatres with their hero’s films and forcibly ,without any crowds in them, run the movie for 50 days or 100 days till their hero’s support them from behind in all aspects .As this will increase their hero’s value

They publish false reports that their film has run for 50 days or 100 days or else to utter surprise sometimes 200 days also in about 100 centres and the collections has touched 40,50,60 Crores . These are all false reports and are baseless.
One such incident is that our megastar hero Chiranjeevi who recently came up with the movie “Shaker Dada Zindabad” was a big Flop . But in Hyderabad it was made to run for 100 days in theatres like Deepak and also laxmi kala Mandir for 100 days . But the truth is that after its release for 2 weeks it was house full then after that in the 4 th week the theatre could not gather not even 50 people as crowds/ show but still it ran for 100 days . This was also done in Andhra districts also and wantedly the movie was made to run for 100 days by the help of So called “Fans Association” .

Last year Pokkiri was released and it was a genuine hit . it collected more than 60 crores .
The hero’s this year are very much interested in breaking this record. What they offer in the film is of less interest and lacks substance but they are in a greed to break the Pokkiri records and this achieved by them by Their Fan Associations .

Recently and incident came into light . Pokkiri which was released in last year in April was still made to run in the theatre named Bhagiradha which is in the Andhra district . It is said that a fan association of Mahesh Babu of that region is planning to run this film for 561 days and for that to be achieved they took the theatre for a lease period of 3 years . this is backed by Mahesh from behind the scenes.

The same is also followed by the stars like Pawan Kalyan ,Venkatesh and so on………
Ram Charan Teja who is the son of Chiru is also said to follow this tradition with the help of his fathers back up . His film is an average film . But it is advertised in such a manner that it has gained 36 crores in three weeks . These reports are all false & baseless according to the box office collections . But still these are published in the media.

And now the latest is “Athidi” which is publishing that it has gathered 40 crores in 2 weeks which are also baseless when enquired .
If this continues than a day will come soon that no human will be interested in going to the theatre to watch the film . Only the hero and the director with the producer must watch them .


Mafia leaders and Goons in disguise of fan associations are ruling and making merry at their film release of their super stars as they get a huge amount, free liquor as long the film is made to run .

Please Big hero’s Chiru Etc it must be you,who started this evil tradition and who have to stop this .Otherwise till now only the next generation hero’s like Mahesh, Junior NTR,Gopichand …who are continuing this saga . But if it is not blocked this false records and the evil deeds of the So called ur “Fan associations” will continue to ruin the tollywood and some day not a single person will be interested atleast to look into the theatres .

Sreekanth and Jagapathi are going to work Together .


“Sreemitra” estates which is one of the leading real estate company in hyderabad is all set to lead the film industry . It is entering the film industry with the film Titled “Nagaram” .

This films tittle was announced on Sunday . they organized a fashion show after which the launch of this film was announced . Hero Jagapathi Babu , Sreekanth,Allu Arjun,Rajshekhar and directors like Rajamouli and Sv. Krishna reddy were present there .

Speaking on this ocassion director Rajamouli said that Sreekanth is going through the better phase of his life after the release of the Films “Opp. Duryodhana” and “Shanker Dada Zindabad” and wished him to achieve all the success.

Hero Rajshekhar spoke on this ocassion saying his well wishes to Sreekanth and Jagapathi babu .

Jagapathi babu said that he was excited to work with hero Sreekanth .

Tulip Joshi acts in Tollywood



Tulip joshi who made her debut in the film Mere Yaar ki Shadi along with uday chopra is all set to sway in tollywood to her tunes . She has no hesitation in exposing and has the dare to bare seminude on the screen. She made her debut film’s look filled with oomph as she wore all revealing clothes in some scenes

This daring babe is going to act a telugu film tittled “Koncham Kothaga”.Hero Venkat is going to be her Reel life hero ,.

Dr. Satish Paulraj is going to be the producer for this film under Sapara art pictures.Abraham kalvakuri is directing this film . this film is made to be released in both Hindi & Telugu.

Venkat who made his debut in the year 1997 to Tollywood with the film “Sree Seetha Ramula kalyanam Chutaham Rarandi ” was later not aceepted by the telugu audience as all his films as a hero flopped .

So now he is going to test his luck again. Except Ashish Vidhyarthy all the cast will be in common.

Megastar returns to Hyderabad at Last



Megastar:From the past 25-30 days Megastar Chiranjeevi was very much upset with his personnel life. His elopement of his second daughter Sreeja and her marriage episode made the whole family so guilty that megastar with his whole family went to London. Later this month on November 10th he returned to Chennai and was staying there. Now yesterday he returned to his jubilee hills residence and did not like to speak to the media and others on anything.
It is said that Chiru is not even speaking to his close pals and is very much silent and viewing the media reports which are publishing about him and his daughter. He is also careful gathering all the information about the people who were behind Sreeja’s marriage and who helped them in all ways and is said that he will take the correct decision soon and will be appearing before the media.

And the latest political news says that Congress MLA’s were behind the conspiracy and the TDP are making all arrangements to bring those people into limelight trough their lady leader ‘Nannapaneni Rajkumari’.

So let us see what is going to happen in few days.

Venkatesh used his own costumes in Tulasi



“Tulasi” the recently released film of Victory Venkatesh was released at the time of Dussera and now it has completed 35 days and is running towards 50 days . Venkatesh previous film was “Aduvari matalaki Ardhalu Verule” which was a super hit . Now his next film “Tulasi” is also said to be a super hit .

In this film Venkatesh was looking very handsome in whatever dress he was wearing and that credit goes to Venky himself.

Every hero in a film uses a branded wardrobe to look the best in the film. The cost of the costumes is up to 80 –90 lakhs if it is a big hero’s wardrobe. And this cost is surely a burden on the producer. And the brands the hero’s use are international brands.

In the film “Tulasi” Venky used a lavish wardrobe. But it was not at the cost of the producer.

His brother Suresh produced this film. So Venkatesh to make the production burden less on his brother opted for costumes, which were of his, own. He was entirely shot in his own costumes.

This shows how much he loves his brother and how dedicated he is to his brother

Baba Sehgal spices up -Jalsa



It seems that Pawan Kalyan is leaving no stones unturned to make his next film ‘Jalsa’ a super hit. In the film “Rikshaoodu” of Megastar Chiranjeevi the song ‘Roop thera mastana’ was sung by the famous pop singer of India, Baba Sehgal and was a super hit .
So known Chiru’s brother has offered a song to Baba Sehgal and it is said that the song is recorded very recently. Devi sri prasad is the music director for this song .
Speaking about the recent experience Baba Sehgal told that it was a pleasure singing in the film of Pawan Kalyan . He also reconciled about the day he came to hyderabad to sing the song ‘roop thera mastana’ as he said that Chiru came to the airport to receive him at the time of recording the song . He said that he felt very happy that his first telugu song was a super hit . And now he hope’s that the same will continue and even Pawan ‘s film as well as the song he sung will be a super hit.
“Jalsa” is also starring illeyana as a lead heroine and this film is said to be released on January 14th next year.

So let us see how the audience will receive the song.

“Chirutha” which was released on 28th September has successfully completed its 50 days and is in the path to complete 100 days . this films total collections till dat are expected to be reaching to around 40 crores and may also fetch more . this film is only 50 days old and lets hope that this will get more success to reach the 100 day mark as not many films will reach this mark successfully.
Charan who is the son of megastar who made a debut with this film seems like a senior artist in all departments like Acting,dancing ,Expression and action scenes. He has dominated the whole film with class and lived upto the expectations of his 8 his father’s fans.

Recently the producer Aswini dutt went to chiru’s house to give the remuneration of 3.5 crores to charan teja.. It was first decided that charan will be taking the remuneration after the film completes 50 days . And the producer gave the cheque of 3.5 crores to charan . But he diverted Aswini dutt to hand it over to his mother Surekha. This shows how much he loves his parents and ofcourse they have given him everything he is enjoying. And this is only a small token of gratitude towards them he showed .
Well hope chirutha will be reaching upto 100 days mark and will be a good launching pad for charan .

It is said that our chirutha is going to act in a film directed by rajamouli and its shooting will begin in December.

So let us all wish Chirutha all the success for his present and also for his future projects and in the future may be he gets a success in such a way that Chiranjeevi will be introduced as the father of Charan .
This day Chiru will be very happy to be recognized as a successful son’s father.
