Tollywoo’s 50 = Bollywood’s 100?

Till recently film makers are used to go by hit meters which pointed to films only that scored 100 days or more. In that way tollywood has many sensations like ‘Lavakusa’ and ‘Alluri Seetarama Raju’ to name a few. However all that changed for the past five years and from then on according to new hit meters films are termed hits only when they gross Rs 40-Rs 50 crs. In that way till now tollywood has five sensational hits. They include Ram Charan’s Magadheera, Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Gabbar Singh’, Mahesh Babu’s ‘Dookudu’, Ram Charan’s ‘Racha’ and Allu Arjun’s ‘Julaayi’ and Rajamouli’s ‘Eega’.
However while most of the tollywood film makers are content with rating the film as super hit when it grosses Rs 50crs mark bollywood film makers are busy scoring sensational hits crossing Rs 100crs mark. Now Salman’s latest sensation ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ already crossed Rs 100crs and is in supersonic speed towards Rs 200crs. Many are left wondering whether tollywood film industry can also make Rs 100crs grossers. Some feel it is possible in near future but many feel it is not right comparing bollywood and tollywood industries as such. While bollywood has pan India presence which makes it easier for their stars to cross Rs 100crs easily, for tollywood it would be difficult to do the same.
As such they feel that Rs 50crs grossers in tollywood are equivalent to Rs 100crs grossers in Bollywood. One has to wait and see what will be the reaction of film makers of both industries on these analysis.

Our readers are aware that Hansika and Andrea Jeremiah would reprise the roles of Amala Paul and Sameera Reddy in the Telugu remake of Vettai, there is now a twist in the tale. Andrea still remains in the film but the latest development is that Tamannaah has replaced Hansika as the makers of the movie like to have some one ‘hot and happening’ actress in the movie.
However, Tamannaah is yet to sign the dotted line. She is yet to give green signal since her diary is full

Politicians for Guinness Records

Political field and politicians are the only ones who did not feature in Guinness Book of World Records or any other records. None in the media or any organisation give awards for any politicians for breaking records. This is leaving many politicians rue their field as if any awards are instituted for politicians they are confident that all would be bagged by Indian Politcians and that too from the state of Andhra Pradesh, doing India proud. They cite the examples of how film makers are advertising success of their films and heroes and also highlighting collection records broken now and then by various films. Similar is the case where whenever sports persons create records, their names will be mentioned till eternity. These facilities are deprived for politicians.
Now politicians say they have decided to break records and enter into the record books. It seems many are inspired by TDP’s Chandra Babu Naidu who is making his workers to do something or the other and send it on his name to the Guinness Book of World Records. Congress is ruing the fact that when they are thinking of rewriting existing records in giving good governance all that is stopping only with promos and ads. Some who are watching and hearing the words of politicians say that if any they need any awards, they will surely emerge winners with out any competition in corruption and getting arrested while in power.

Logic behind Lady Amitabh’s long silence

Yesteryear tollywood star Vijayashanthi has lot of fans among movie lovers. Many are smitten by her daring and dashing skills and hail her as the Lady Amitabh of Indian Film Industry. True to the title she attained superstardom competing against top heroes during her time. Her roles in ‘Pratighatana’ and ‘Kartavyam’ are still remembered and most of the new comers dream of doing such kind of roles. At that time there was a saying that all the top heroes envied her for her stardom equivalent to them and some even postponed their film’s releases when her film was due for release.
She dabbled in politics and tried to create her own brand image and become firebrand politician. She tried her luck with BJP and then floated her own party before settling in TRS. She tried to whip up telangana passions but her wrong timing during death of babies at Nilofer Hospital backfired on her. From then on she has been maintaining stoic silence. Many wondered what was the logic behind Lady Amitabh’s long silence.
Some say she is planning to quit TRS as she doesn’t have any future as the party is fast becoming family kingdom and with KCR’s daughter Kavitha making known her political ambitions, she will soon be minimized. 
TDP and Congress parties have their own fire brand women leaders and even YSRCP. She is once again eying a home coming to BJP. It has to be seen how her stars will shine in the next assembly elections.

Ulaganayakan Kamal Hasan’s daughter Shruti Hasan tried her luck in all the three languages Hindi, Telugu and Tamil but all her hopes of a dream debut were dashed as her debut films turned out to be disasters. She was at her wits end as she was unable to find the reasons behind her films failures. When all film makers started branding her as iron leg and were seen running away from giving her offers, Bandla Ganesh offered her the role in Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Gabbar Singh’. Harish Shankar with his sensational script and Devi Sri Prasad with his deadly music and Pawan with his powerful punches and dashing dances turned the film to a stunning sensation.
Suddenly she became a overnight star and with this she started showing her starry taunts on Tollywood film makers. She is now busy trying her luck not even in kollywood but in Bollywood. Prabhu Deva the dancing sensation who became the most wanted director in Bollywood with two back to back Rs 100 crs hits is casting her in the Tollywood remake of ‘Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana’.Many film makers, movie lovers and film critics feel that she is committing a grave blunder by concentrating on Bollywood, when Tollywood film makers are running after her. They feel that if she doesn’t cash in to her success in the industry then she will be losing tempting offers to other heroines in Tollywood.

Ever since Mega Star Chiranjeevi merged his much maligned political party PRP in Congress, his opponents attacked him that he entered into a deal with Congress High Command at the Center. Even his estranged party members said that Chiru would be offered key post either at the State or at the Center and started informing to media that Chiru was not interested other than CM post at State or Union Minister at Centre.

Many of his fans started waiting eagerly for the good news everytime Chiru flew to Del or when ever there was some crucial meeting in Delhi. More recently there was even news that Chiru would be made Chairman of TTD. However now that TTD’s current chairman Bapiraju was asked to continue in the same post, Chiru’s one hope has evaporated. Now it has to be seen out of CM and Union Minister which will be offered to Chiru.
Many wonder what is going on in Megastar’s mind. Many times something important in his favor was expected but he always faced disappointments. Political analysts also feel that being branded as Botsa’s close aide and confining himself to just one cast may be his draw backs. Moreover CM Kiran sees him as his enemy and is using all his influence to checkmate him. Now that Botsa in the doc, many feel Megastar Chiranjeevi is checkmated.

Simha becomes spoof property !

Till recently none in Tollywood dared to even look into the eyes of Natasimha Balakrishna. However many are getting courage and are becoming more vocal in making fun of him and even mocking his dialogue delivery in public functions. Since two to three years comedy heroes like Naresh and Sunil started making fun of him and at times even comedian Srinivasa Reddy. Nandamuri fans took it with a tinge of salt and though it was insulting in the name of comedy, digested the bitter pill. Prior to two years also many on internet used to mock fun at Balakrishna creating hate photos and abusing him in the name of comedy. However law officials some how managed to put a full stop to them.
Now more recently in Sudigadu it was not Naresh who mocked fun at him and his more popular thigh slapping scene from ‘Samara Simha Reddy’. It is once again comedian and small screen anchor Kishore Das and small school children who mocks fun of Balayya enmasse. As if this was not enough debutant beauty mesmerising Monal Gajjar slapped her beautiful and tender thighs to scare away villains. All this is becoming intolerable for Balakrishna fans though they can not find out what was going on in Natasimha’s minds. Many feel unless until Simha scores sensational hit as ‘Srimannarayana’, he will become hot property for spoofs.

Special songs turning double edged swords

Movie lovers, general public and film makers are of the opinion that special songs or raunchy item numbers are the sure and safe way to success. Even from aspiring stars to top heroines everyone believe they are the shortcut to stardom. While in the olden days there used to be special actress’ specialized for the item numbers or club songs, that difference has been erased long time back. Many top beauties sizzled in item numbers providing delicious treat to movie lovers and masses. Now film makers can not think of making a film without including an item number. However film critics and trade analysts are having different opinion on item songs being the shortcut to stardom.
They feel if a item number become a superhit then a new comer is sure to graduate from item gal to heroine but it is not the same case with a established star. If a top heroine decides to do a item number then many rumors do around. Many say she is doing the song as she is starved of offers. If the song turns out to be a hit it will be a plus point to heroine or else she will be branded as failure and film makers stops making offers to her as heroine also.
Beauties like Malaika Khan in ‘Dil Se’ or Sonali Bendre in ‘Bombay’ achieved stardom and became top stars. But it is not the same case with all. In tollywood more recently Parvathi Melton turned heroine after her ‘Dookudu’ hit number ‘Poove Poove’. Similar is the case with Meenakshi Dixit who turned heroine in ‘Devaraya’. One has to wait and watch what will be the fate of Bertante who starred in ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ and said ‘Disturb Chestande’.

Botsa is on tenterhooks with Current Happenings !

Many people for months wondered what magic APCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana cast on Congress High Command. This is because even when serious allegations of corruption charges in Volkswagen case or Liquor mafia in his Vijayanagaram constituency, no concrete action was taken against him. In fact Botsa managed to stall ACB raids on his liquor syndicate in his constituent, though officials were in full swing across the state. He got its chief transferred from the department itself.
This signified the immense clout he has at the Center and powers that matter. Many thought in the ongoing bitter battle with CM Kiran Kumar Reddy, he will emerged winner hands down. However much to the shock of many, it was other way round. It seems Botsa confidently hooked deadly bouncer bowled by Kiran but was caught at the boundary line. Many feel third umpire (High Command) decision is awaited and any moment it will be in favor of Kiran.
This is a major victory and a coup of sorts for Kiran. If he manages to get Botsa out, he would have successfully weakened the victory march of his enemies successfully. Botsa has been for long eying his CM post and many times he expressed his wish in personal and private meetings. Botsa is currently busy in Delhi trying to meet the High Command and influence the decision. It has to be seen how successful he will be in his efforts.

Masses scared of stars ‘Mass Attacks’

Tollywood’s star heroes and top directors are always of the opinion that masses are the heart of the success formula and to win silver screen wars, one should entertain masses. So right from the olden days they used to make films that are completely loaded with mass dialogues, double meaning stuff , breathtaking stunts, hero teasing heroines before romancing them, and then thrashing villains knocking living day lights out of them. Films like ‘Samarasimha Reddy’ gave new dimension to mass entertainers and many similar films flooded tollywood to entertain. However masses used their intelligence and sent many of them packing.
Though many times they drove home the point that they appreciate creativity and innovativeness in storyline, heroes and directors did not give importance to their feelings. Even young and upcoming heroes like Naga Chaitanya who entertained all with ‘Yemaya Chesave’ and Prabhas with ‘Mr.Perfect’ started trying for mass image. Chaitu is undeterred even though masses showed him his true place making ‘100% love’ super hit while detesting ‘Dada’ and ‘Bezawaad’. Balakrishna tasted failure with ‘Adhinayakudu’ and NTR with ‘Dammu’. Even Mass Raja Ravi Teja failed to entertain masses with ‘Nippu’, ‘Veera’, ‘Daruvu’ and more recently ‘Deuvud Chesina Manushulu’.
All this shows that masses are scared of stars’ ‘mass attacks’. However they are not halting as films like Autonagar Surya, Rebel, Srimannarayana, Adda and others are waiting to attack masses.

The year started off in a grand manner for Mega Family and with lady luck smiling on sliver screen for all the mega heroes, festive atmosphere is on in the family. While Power Star Pawan Kalyan created a sensation scoring a hit after a decade, rewriting all tollywood records turning ‘Gabbar Singh’, Mega Power Star Ram Charan is on song after creating ‘Racha’ at box office after tasting a disaster with ‘Orange’. He is busy with his bollywood debut venture ‘Zanjeer’ and simultaneously turning ‘Nayak’ and ‘Yevadu’ under VV.Vinayak and Srinu Vytla’s direction. Stylish Star Allu Arjun also gave jolly ride to mega fans with ‘Julaayi’ after ‘Badrinath’ bombed at the box office. He is readying to romance with Iddaru Ammayilu soon.
Mega cousins Cherry and Bunny entertained all with their betting games on silver screen. While Cherry became Betting Raj in Racha and won all the bets in the film and also at box office, Bunny as ‘Julaayi’ went on to win a bet but later drove home the point that one should not look for easy money in an indirect reference to Cherry. How fans receive it and how Cherry reacts to his advice has to be seen in his future films. However it seems there is no hard feelings between them as Bunny is starring in a special role in Cherry’s ‘Yevadu’.

Signal less KCR-Still strong

People may be making fun of TRS chief KCR who had been till recently boasting about receiving signals from Central Govt on the formation of Telangana State. For more than two months, KCR after the byelections has been harping on signals he was receiving from UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and the then home minister Chidambaram. Chidambaram however had lucky escape now that his portfolio has been changed. When media carried out stories and analysis of how KCR is taking people of telangana for a ride, he fumed at them, asking them to stop making provocative statements and even made fun of them mocking if not he, will useless people like them get signals. Many started believing his statements and expected some kind of announcement from Centre on Telangana after by elections or later President and Vice President Polls. Nothing happened.
However KCR was undeterred as he told everyone that if by Aug 20th something comes out then it will be festival for telangana or will be going on an all out war. Nothing happened and KCR is not even opening his mouth. Many started writing off signal less KCR. But people will be writing him off at their own peril. KCR is a witty and wily politician. He knows at present everyone is against him and even JAC of which Kondandaram is the president. Students are angry with him and so he don’t want to take any unilateral action. He knows very well that he can not force by elections with just 18 months for general elections.
He is just bidding his time and knowing KCR’s nature one can expect him to whip up passions in the run for general elections putting all parties in a bind.
