Vishnu for long has been trying hard for success. He starred in many films but none of the them impressed viewers. Right from ‘Astram’ till ‘Vastadu Na Raju’, Vishnu tried different directors, different script writers but nothing worked out for him.
 

Vishnu is testing his luck this time with Denikaina Ready on Dasara, and hope that on this auspicious occasion, lady luck will present success sweets for him. Vishnu’s father Collection King Mohan Babu revealed that he sacrificed a film and asked Kona Venkat and Gopi Mohan to prepare a script for his son and they together with B.Ravi came with this wonderful script.
 

Vishnu will be seen romancing hot beauty Hansika in the film and also will be trying to impress movie lovers coming as Suleman and Krishna Sastry. The film was shot lavishly at Malaysia and Bangkok. Now it has to be seen whether father’s sacrifice will work for Vishnu or not. Vishnu’s results will be out on 24th for which he is eagerly waiting as already the film completed its censor.
 

The film’s music is tuned by two music directors for the first time. Chakri tuned three songs while Yuvan Shankar Raja scored music for another two songs.

No two persons will be alike and think similarly. In the same way films also come in different manner but now a days hit ratio is reducing drastically. Though N number of films are releasing in theaters, people are staying away from insipid films. Some film makers knowingly or unknowingly touch upon controversial subjects. This may some time help in publicity generating interest but the same may effect the performance of the film.

Some decades back Ramoji Rao’s Pratighatana on Usha Kiron Movies was engulfed in controversy and it helped in the film minting money at box office. The film generated lot of controversy as it was based on some unsocial elements in Vijayawada. Now T activists are venting their anger on Cameraman Ganga to Rambabu.

This is not for the first time Pawan Kalyan’s film is in controversy. Earlier protesters cooled only after his film’s title ‘Komaram Puli’ was changed to ‘Puli’. Even for Mahesh-Puri’s ‘Business Man’lot of hue and cry was witnessed over the song ‘we are bad boys’ which hurt feelings of hindus. No one can beat RGV when it comes to controversies. His film ‘Rakta Charitra’ based on Anantapuram faction leaders courted trouble even before its release. Similarly he generated trouble by announcing ‘Bezawada Rowdeelu’ with Naga Chaitanya. Later it was changed to ‘Bezawada’. More recently he even announced ‘Reddygaru Poyaru’ for his new film.

Controversy on Vidya Balan’s ‘Dirty Picture’ is well known. Silk Smitha’s relatives even approached court to stall the release of the film. Innocence of Muslims was banned across the world for its controversy.

On one or the other emotive issue some few people take to streets, hold huge demonstrations, damage public and private properties. But one wonder whether those who are protesting are sincere in their protests. During their protests they in their media meets mix up all issues and try to strike chord with people on one or the other issue.
 

Yesterday saw huge demonstrations against Pawan Kalyan, Puri Jagannath’s ‘Cameraman Gangato Rambabu’. They alleged that their feelings were hurt but instead of confining themselves to the scenes which hurt their sentiments they targeted personal lives.They spit venom on the film that women are shown in bad taste, media in bad taste etc, etc.
One wonder why protesters have the double standards on these following issues

1. On women shown in bad light, there are many films in which women was shown just as glamor doll. These are the same people who enjoy to mass beats and item numbers. At that time did they not remember these issues. Why did they not protest for ‘Sorry Teacher’ and other A rated films. Most of the songs have vulgar meanings, double meaning dialogues. Hero will be seen teasing heroine, forcing them to love him irrespective of her disinterest. It is a well known fact that due to love story trash films, there were many acid attacks. Where were all these protestors. Many feel that even they indulge in eve teasing but when the same happen to their mom and sisters they will be up in arms.

2. When Nayanatara was selected for Sri Rama Rajyam many protested how could she be selected for Seetha role. But does not the same apply for Balakrishna who acted in many roles in which he killed many people. Now they allege that Pawan is a womaniser, left one and married another. They are aware that personal and professional should not be mixed. Should be confined to the topic. Pawan married another person long time back. Did they not remember this while watching Gabbar Singh and dancing to his dances.

3. They allege media is shown in bad light. Everyone is aware media is not sincere. They support one party or other. While Studio N and ETV,ABN support TDP , Sakshi supports YSRCP, T News TRS and others Cong. So where is impartiality. They only work for TRP ratings.

4. They call for attacks on personal properties. They know that they have political links and they can get away with what ever they do. Other wise any person will have fear for police cases.

5. Everyone praised Jai Bolo Telangana. Even censor board cut 12 scenes for the objectionable content. 

 Many wonder how it was selected as best film for national integration. Now Shankar is issuing statements on feelings. Did he not think twice while hurting sentiments of other region.Some are calling for ban on andhra film makers in telangana. Anyway from now onwards they will think twice on releasing their films in Nizam as they crushed their own son Dil Raju. It will affect lot of lives of telangana people who are dependent on films.
 

6.Everyone knows KCR and TJAC needs one issue to get into media as they are facing identity crisis. They are using the film for their advantage.

Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu had collected 8.53C share only in Andhra Pradesh on its first day of release. Here is the break up of major areas:

Krishna  – 66,07,150 (including FHs and SGs) (All Time Record)
Nellore  – 35,40,173/-
West –  69.8L
Nizam – 2.89C (All Time Record)
Ceeded – 1.56C
Guntur – 94L (Including SGs and FHs)
Uttarandhra – 50L

Only AP Total share – 8.53C

It seems TJAC and other organisations that are fighting for the cause of telangana with their actions are out to destroy Tollywood. They may take shelter citing sentiments and feelings but the way they attacked Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Cameraman Gangato Ramababu’ producer and director’s properties even after they gave press statements that their film doesn’t contain anything objectionable that hurts their feelings and if they come they will delete those scenes shows they are not for telangana or sentiments but to extract money in the name of sentiment.
 

Top tollywood personalities many times issued statements that they are not against any region and everyone is equal for them. Inspite of that many times TJAC and OU like some hooligans disrupted shootings on trivial issues. Tollywood film makers in private feel that if this continues it will be huge loss to the industry and in future film makers may think of even shifting the base to some other safer regions.
 

Many times even law enforcing authorities denied permissions to film makers citing law and order problem for the films on telangana issue and people feel that this kind of acts from any organisation will have direct bearing on lakhs of people who make their livelihood depending on the industry.

Anjali who impressed Telugu audience with her homely role in ‘Journey’ is all set to romance Ravi Teja in his upcoming movie ‘Balupu’. While Shruti Hassan is the main lead in the film, Anjali is the second heroine.

The muhurtham of the movie will take place on 25th of this month and the regular shooting of the movie will begin very soon. Gopi Chand Mallineni who directed Don Seenu with Ravi Teja is once again wielding megaphone for this movie. Anjali is a Telugu girl but got break as an actress in Tamil films. She is already doing the most coveted role in mutli-starrer Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu.

Pawan Kalyan’s Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu has been facing the ire of Telangana students and activists. They have stopped the screening of Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu in Hyderabad and Warangal. The film’s screening was stopped at Aradhana theatre this morning and Osmania Universtity’s students took away the reel box from the theatre. In Warangal, T-activists tore away the cutouts and flexis of the movie put up at the Amrutha theatre.

The activists alleged that the director Puri and actor Pawan Kalyan belittled the great Telangana movement with their half-knowledge dialogues in the film and scenes on Telugu Talli and ‘Udyamam’.

This year the decision making for Nandi awards for Jury became extremely easy. Their work of satisfying heroes, fans associations and different groups in the industry was solved even before the jury was constituted. This is because of the entries that came for each category and while this reduced the opposition and criticism from various circles in the aftermath of jury decision, this time quid pro quo according to telangana and andhra regions also solved their problem. In order to pacify both of them the jury gave one award to andhraite and another to telanganaite.
 

One look a Committee Chairman Gopla Reddy’s comments that a star is different and an actor. He said for the award one should consider whehte an actor did justice to the story and his role. He went on to add that Balakrishna and Nagarjuna did justice to their roles in Sri Rama Rajyam and Rajanna but in those films, other things come into prominence unlike Dookudu where the entire film revolves around Mahesh Babu. Since SRR and Rajanna’s script did not revolve around heroes, they did not become best actors.
 

This is really startling. If Chairman wants to support Mahesh he could refer to his performance in Dookudu rather than belittling other stars. Stars performance should be analysed according to their role and how well they performed rather than other aspects. One should not forget that Jagapathy Babu’s role in Antapuram was of limited duration but still fetched him bet support cast some time back. Silmilar is the case of other awards. One gets feeling that since other small makers couldn’t afford to pay Rs 5000 and enter in the fray the awards selection got easy. Jury selected 100% Love for best family film. How can they select the film as in one of the song ‘pilla nee bavanistava song.. consisted of vulgar lyrics in the middle. How could they have neglected ‘Solo’ with decent storyline?.
 

Best song award went to ‘Amma Awani’. true that the song is well written but the lyrics are nothing new. How could the jury missed Seetaramasastry’s ‘Jagore Jago’ in Golkonda High School and his innovative and creative usage of words. Similar is Best book on films for Eswar biography. The book is not on films but is just a biography. Only Jury can answer these pertinent questions.

Kollywood film makers are renowned for their creativity and this special aspect made many in Tollywood wonder looking at them in awe. Be it Shankar, Maniratnam, KV.Anand, Murugadoss, all spellbound movie lovers with their out of the box subjects. To the top of it stars like Surya, Vikram, Kamal, Rajani and even youngsters never shy away from experimenting unlike tollywood heroes.
 

Recently two films came amidst huge expectations and they are VIkram’s ‘Siva Tandavam’ and Surya’s ‘Brothers’. Both the heroes are known for their penchant for creativity and this time both tried to attract all with their acting. While Chiya Vikram turned blind intelligence officer who was out to prove his innocence, Surya came as conjoint twins in dual role. Both had extremely innovative script and were filmed beautifully in exotic locations of overseas. However slow pace in the films killed the kollywood film makers creativity.
 

Many who watched the films felt though the films storyline is unique, the slow narration tested the patience of the viewers. They even expressed surprise that though Tandavam film makers shortened the film in the original, the film makers did not release the shortened version. Brothers film makers after the first day talk took steps and shorted the film by 30 min.

New era in Tollywood is ushering golden days in the industry much to the delight of all. This resulted in increase in market range for Tollywood heroes and the overseas collections itself vouch for it as a powerful proof. Though some in the industry are highlighting negatives like increase in piracy and even increased cost in production of films they were proven wrong as many small films with strong storyline made it big at box office.
 

Top heroes films are also minting money at box office and the Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s latest release ‘Cameraman Gangato Rambabu’ already got the hit talk and is all set for collections tsunami at box office. This year Tollywood’s collection saga is on a high starting from ‘Business Man’ and with ‘Racha’, ‘Julai’, ‘Gabbar Singh’ among others.
 

To the top of it bollywood film makers are competing with each other to bag the rights of top heroes films and with a popular media channel spending lavishly for satellite rights of top heroes films, though film makers are spending more, they are making huge profits happily.
 

Upcoming films Damarukam, SVSC, Badshah, Shadow, Mirchi are eying silver screen success. However film makers should understand that investing in spineless films will spell doom for them from which they can never recover.

Tollywood has witnessed many fascinating battles but this is something new. Power Star Pawan Kalyan is engaged in a powerful battle with Leader Rana. If one thinks that he is on virtual war with Tollywood hot hunk Leader Rana then they are mistaken as both of them share cordial relationship and are best friends.
 

In his powerful media entertainer ‘Cameraman Gangato Rambabu’, Pawan as Rambabu took on aspiring CM, Rana Babu played by Prakash Raj. One wonder why Puri created a role naming it after Leader Rana. Fans are already speculating whether Pawan or Puri at any time had any issues with Rana Daggubati.
 

However while many are thinking on these lines, main opposition party TDP had different views and they even vent their anger by tearing off posters and burning the flexis of the CGR. They allege that Pawan and Puri are targeting their president Chandra Babu Naidu and his son Lokesh. They reason out that Kota’s name Jawahar ‘Naidu’ and Prakash Raj name Rana ‘Babu’ resemble that of Chandra Babu ‘Naidu’ and Lokesh ‘Babu’.
 

Only film makers, Puri Jagannath or Pawan can clear the rumors and misunderstandings before these become big. Mega fans however are delighted at their hero’s powerful media war on political leaders.
