NTR Is Not 'Baadshah's Hero !!

Young tiger Junior NTR has been doing a severe penance to score a hit. His much hyped film 'Dammu' didn't work as expected and now the young star has pinned his hopes on the ongoing film 'Baadshah'. The shooting has been progressing briskly and this is directed by jackpot hit director Sreenu Vytla.

Technically, Junior NTR is the hero of the film but then many are saying it is not so. They state that the real hero of the film is Sreenu Vytla. Apparently, Vytla has huge market in overseas. His last film 'Dookudu' will have a positive effect on 'Baadshah's overseas prices.

The Vytla brand comedy is also quite known and it is now upto NTR to fit into that comedy and score a hit. Sources say even this film will be quite entertaining but the dose of action is quite high. So, it remains to be seen what is that extra thing Jr NTR would do to prove his presence and stand out..

Asin's Over Action With Telugu Producer !!

This Mallu babe is always known for her tantrums and once again she showed them to the fullest when a Telugu producer approached. While she is not able to rise to top-starlet position, these over actions are raising automatically.

Asin is struggling to become a big starlet in Bollywood, though she is having three films to her kitty, which crossed the 100 crore mark. Recently she has scored a hit with 'Bol Bachchan' and now she is getting ready with Akshay Kumar's 'Khiladi 786' again. As she is sending feelers that she loves Telugu industry a lot, a producer approached her for dates. Reports have that Asin rejected the offer saying that she is not free for the next two years. Also, she gave him an offer saying that if he could shed 2 crores, she is ready to adjust dates. Shocked with her over action, the producer booked a regular starlet of Tollywood, who got all big movies but no hits.

The point is so clear in Asin's case that she wants to make as much as possible before she finally vanishes. Already Tollywood has forgotten her, and she might not bring any fresh look even though she is roped in now.

Salman Khan eyes Chiru's 'Pay It Forward' !!

Grapevine is that Salman Khan is all set to star in the Hindi remake of Chiranjeevi's hit flick Stalin which has an undercurrent message 'Pay It Forward'.

Stalin's message which says if an individual could extend unconditional help to the three needy people, then it will pave way for a massive change in the society seems to have caught the attention of Bollywood. While AR Murugadoss directed the original, Nagababu and Tagore Madhu jointly produced it.

However, Murugadoss willn't be directing the remake as he is currently busy with Hindi remake of Tupaki with Akshay Kumar. And the chance for wielding the megaphone has gone to none other than Salman's Brother Sohail Khan. Already Salman's younger brother, Arbaaz Khan, turned director with the film Dabangg 2. Now, another brother has chosen the same path!

Stalin's message will reach out to a wider section of audience if its remade in Hindi and star like Salman could increase the reach of the film in a big way. Hopefully the remake will be an another Rs 100-crore club film!

Shocker: Zanjeer Remake Contract Terminated! !!

Ram Charan's Bollywood project Zanjeer remake landed in legal tangle with the producer failing to fulfill the terms of the contract!
Prakash Mehra produced the 1973 super hit flick Zanjeer which stars Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan. As Prakash Mehra is no more, his sons hold the remake rights of the film.

When quizzed about the contract termination, Amit stated he is making efforts to settle the dues as early as possible and release the film without any glitches. On the other hand, his brothers are firm on upholding the termination of the contract till they were paid the amount. Wish the legal problems end soon for a smooth release of Zanjeer Remake!

NTR far ahead of his Opponents !!

Off late NTR is open to try something different in his every film to reach out to a wider audience. The makers of his upcoming entertainer Baadshah were confident of giving a new dimension to the actor's image.

Srinu Vytla reveals his hero banks on the mind game and always far ahead of his opponents. "Intelligent moves are the key for winning the game of chess. Similarly if we could read the minds of our opponents and play the game, then a win will be much easier. Baadshah's character was designed in the same fashion. Ones if he decides, the war will be one-sided. The protagonist always sees himself as a leader, no matter what the situation might be! NTR's look, histrionics and comic timing will be different from what he has done all these years. Apart from all the elements one would expect from an NTR's film, there will be a lot of entertainment in my style. This film will be a treat for Nandamuri fans," he assures.

Bollywood Actors In Rajamouli-Prabhas Film !!

The tough taskmaster S S Rajamouli has been riding high with the success of his recent release 'Eega' and though it didn't work commercially in Bollywood he got enough fame and name in Mumbai. Now, it is heard that his next project will have a good presence of Bollywood actors.

Wow! Anushka Is Back With Nag !!

Ever since, 'Damarukam' has hit theatres, the big talk is about our Sweety only. Despite of the superb chemistry she shared with Nag in this socio-fantasy flick, Cine lovers lashed at her for not coming to promotions. So, here is a full-stop for all that stuff!

Gorgeous and Arabian horse looking Anushka has finally twinkled with her cute presence at the success meet of 'Damarukam'. As anticipated by many critics, Anushka haven't shown any signs of uneasy for participating in the event. She thoroughly enjoyed for being part of a press-meet in Tollywood after a long time. 'This is my fourth movie with Nag and I'm happy for that. I've watched Damarukam as an audience and felt thrilled rather watching it as an actress of the movie', said Anushka.

Film lovers are feeling happy for getting a tinge of their favourite actress after a long time in the tinsel town. In the same lines, we have to see if she continues to do string of films in Telugu from now.

Anushka's disinterest in Dhamarukam ? !!

Anushka is one of the very few heroines that can act and carry the whole film on her shoulders. We don't need a better example than Arundhati to prove it. An actress of Anushka's caliber was expected to add value to the magnum opus Dhamarukam. But for some reason she didn't.

The actress looked pale and dull throughout the film. It was director's fault to write a character that is so weak for Anushka, but even when she has a chance to perform, Anushka failed to give the required expressions and show right emotions. She looked disinterested in this film for some unknown reasons.

Anushka is a very active participant in promoting the films that she starred in. But for Dhamarukam she is staying out of action in terms of publicity. The entire burden is being carried by Nagarjuna and Anushka just left away the film as if she doesn't have any responsibility towards it. We all know that Dhamarukam has undergone severe pains prior to release and everyone in the unit needs to do their bit to promote it. But Anushka is currently busy with her other assignments. Looks like the gossips about her not being in good terms with Nagarjuna have something to do with this unusual behavior of Anushka.

Trisha-Poorna-Archana For 'RUM' !!

Three big heroines and their spicy association is always big news for movie lovers as it is like watching three movies on single ticket. And when that association is for 'RUM', it will be giving more kick.

To be more precise, RUM is an upcoming Telugu movie that features petite siren Trisha, glamour queen Poorna and Telugu heroine Archana Sastry. The creativity behind this alcoholic title is that it stands for Ramba-Urvasi-Menaka. Producer MS Raju is the creative sculptor of this title and he has taken this heroine oriented project after failing to launch his son Sumanth Ashwin with a dreamy debut. Though it is still unclear about the director of this flick, it is heard that already Trisha and Poorna are signed, and third lead may be changed if not Archana. While Trisha shot to fame in Tollywood with Raju's 'Varsham', she and Archana have worked with MS Raju earlier for 'Nuvvu Vastanantey Nenoddantana'.

What looks like a big hurdle for this flick is the title itself. Because, three women in the lead and the title 'RUM' is something that disturbs our Censor Board for sure.

NTR's Producer ruins hopes of Kona Venkat !!

Star Writer Kona Venkat is one of the contenders for acquiring the USA theatrical rights of NTR's upcoming film Baadshah. He even publicly declared the news on the social networking platform few months ago. "I offered to take the US rights of BAADSHAH from my brother Bandla Ganesh.. Waiting for his positive reply.. Price doesn't matter," he posted.

However, Kona's role as script writer & dialogue writer for Baadshah and his sweet talk failed to get him what he has desired. Disappointment is a small word to describe the current state of this celebrated writer for losing an opportunity which could earn him some big bucks.

Great India Films have acquired the overseas rights of Baadshah for a record price of about Rs 4.5 crore which is said to be highest in NTR's career. Srinu Vytla brand image has played a big role here and it was he who reportedly insisted the producer to sell the rights to this particular distribution house.

Touted to be a stylish action entertainer, Baadshah will appeal to the urban audiences in a big way and so the competition is such high for bagging rights. Wish it lives up to the expectations!

Nani-Sam's New Angle On Dec 14 !!

The second half of 2012 seems to be a bit dry for Telugu Film Industry with no proper blockbuster on the run for film lovers. But still there are a couple of hopes, and hero Nani's latest flick is one among them.

Nani, whose last outing happens to be super hit 'Eega' is back again with another aesthetic love story. 'Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu' seems to be that movie, and our hero is pairing up with enchantress Samantha for second time. Director Gautham Menon says that this is new-angle altogether and the film will be a farewell treat to 2012. 'Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu is the king of love of stories and it will redefine the course of Tollywood', said producer C Kalyan. But love stories are expected on lover's day (Feb 14), but this film is going to enthral Telugu audiences on Dec 14 itself.

With YVM's release confirmed, this December happens to be an interesting season for Tollywood as many other commercial movies like 'Sarocharu', 'Okkadine' and others.

Ram Charan admits his weakness openly !!

With good screen presence, fantastic grace in dances and the ability to perform breath-taking stunts, Ram Charan is capable of making other stars in the Industry go green with envy. Although he has a couple of blockbusters under his belt and huge success rate, this Mega hero is yet to prove himself in the comedy department. The actor admitted his weakness openly during Alari Naresh's Yamudiki Mogudu audio launch for which he was invited as a chief guest. 

Speaking at the event, Charan said,"I don't know whether to start my speech with the Title or Allari Naresh. When I heard about this film for the first time from producer Addala Chanti, I felt like 'Abba Naresh Tesukunnada Ee Title. But, only Naresh can do justice to this title among our generation heroes as we can't generate the comedy like he does. I even told Naresh just now that he should also do the film Chantabhai and play the role of James Bond (Pandu). I hope Naresh will do that! I wish this film will be a milestone in Naresh's career, just alike Magadheera happened for Me."

Directors like Srinu Vytla and Trivikram Srinivas are known for bringing out the best from the actors, in term of comic timing. Hope Charan teams up with these two hotshot filmmakers as soon as possible to nurture his acting skills.

Rare Honour for Balakrishna !!

Nandamuri Balakrishna who was invited as a chief guest for the closing ceremony of 43rd International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa is all set to highlight the achievements of the Tollywood legends, the contribution of Telugu Cinema and it's impact on 100 years of Indian Cinema.

After a long time, a Telugu star was offered to be the 'guest of honor' at IFFI. Mokshagna, the successor of Balayya, will be accompanying his actor-father to the film festival.

On the other hand, Telugu Film Fraternity is fuming at the organizers of IFFI for ignoring Tollywood completely in the documentary which was intended to pay tribute to 100 years of Indian Cinema. Few of the biggies were even thinking on holding a press meet to take potshot at the IFFI organizers for the unpardonable mistake.

Notably, none of the Telugu films have been qualified for screening at the 43rd International Film Festival of India which kickstarted from November 19 in Goa. IFFI is where India's best films will be showcased to International audience. The central committee has picked up 18 films from various language, which according to them would bring recognition to Indian Cinema.

Richa's 'First Lead' Dreams Come True !!

As long as a heroine sizzles as a second fiddle in movies, no matter how many big projects you do, you are just a glam-doll with no purpose. Our Bengali Bomb realized this fact a bit late, but is trying to correct it now.

Chubby siren Richa Gangaopadhyay hasn't got that dream debut in Telugu, with hero Rana and director Sekhar Kammula taking the complete credits (positive and negative) for her debut flick 'Leader'. Since then, she sizzled as second lead in a couple of hits but never got the chance to become a solo queen. Even her upcoming 'Sarocharu' and 'Mirchi' with two star Telugu heroes are also featuring her as second lead only. But things are not same always, and finally Richa is signed as solo lead opposite King Nagarjuna and that film 'Bhai' is rolling onto floors from today. If this film rings registers, then first-lead bells will ring for Richa.

However, Critics are saying that Richa Gangopadhyay should first focus on her sex-appeal, as she is growing a bit fat these days. With Nag's film in hand, maybe Richa will do all the needed things to turn eyes.

Are Nag And Chaitu Brothers Or Friends? !!

The news of three generation Akkineni heroes in a single movie is doing rounds everywhere. Apart from the stories doing rounds about its title, here is insider information about the movie.

With Annapurna Studios registering the title 'Hum' a couple of days back, gossip guns have blasted that this is the title for ANR-Nag-Chaitu film. Most interestingly, these three people are said to be not playing father-son-grandson in this movie. An insider shared that Nag and Chaitu will be playing either elder brother and young brother or just friends. If we have to believe these reports, we can say that this movie will become another family drama and multi starrer like 'Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu'. But how far audience will digest the fact that these two celebrated father and son and grandson will fit into these different relations on-screen.

Cine analysts are however saying that the probability of this film working out in the near future is very low, as both Nag and Chaitu are busy with their respective ventures.

The tattoo culture is quite prominent in Bollywood but lately this trend has been on the rise in Tollywood. And one heroine who grabbed a lot of attention with her tattoo is the petite beauty Trisha.

Now, the news about Trisha is that she is all set to show her new angle. According to reports, Trisha has been approached by the noted producer M S Raju for a film which is totally woman-oriented. Trisha would be the title role holder and it is heard that she jumped in joy when she heard the storyline.

Hero and Heroine laughs off Lip-Lock rumors !!

Controversies and Amala Paul go hand-in-hand. In the very beginning of her career, she has witnessed the other side of glamour world. The actress gave a detailed explanation of the controversies and rumors she was linked till date.

On the reports of 'Arya saying he was uncomfortable doing the lip-lock scene in the film Vettai, but Amala was at ease and took the initiative' and that statement led to clash between the duo, Amala replied,"I don't know from where this news has come from!

On the controversial film 'Sindhu Samaveli' in which she plays the role of a girl who has an illicit relationship with her Father-in-law: "I was 18 when I did that film.

Only thing I choose to do the film as my role has lot of scope for acting, but never expected that it will become controversial."

On how she handles rumors: "In fact, I'm a very emotional person and I can't handle negativity.

Lawrence's Special B'Day gift for Superstar !!

Choreographer-turned-Director Lawrence who is a die-hard fan of Rajinikanth has decided to give a special birthday gift to his matinee idol on December 2012.

Lawrence is making arrangements to unveil a special album dedicated to Superstar on his birthday. "I am one of those crores of fans of Superstar Rajinikanth.

Recollecting his association with producer Dil Raju and the output of SVSC, Mickey said,"Even 1 year after my father's death, I couldn't become normal.

Director digging his own grave! !!

Although it's too harsh to make such statement, one gets the same feeling looking at the desperate attempts of director Gunasekhar to make a strong comeback. This fading director has chosen a woman oriented script now and being the producer, he has prepared himself to spend nothing short of Rs 40 crore on it! Why does he want to take such a huge risk when he has a series of flops under his belt?

A film like Damarukam which was made with a budget of over Rs 40 crore with stars Nagarjuna & Anushka failed to recover all of it's investment prior to the release and now due to the average talk, everyone associated with the film including the producer, distributors and buyers will be incurring heavy losses. Then how could Rudrama Devi which has Anushka alone end up making table profits? Seems like Gunasekhar has learnt nothing from the huge failures he tasted due to lavish sets starting from Arjun to Varudu.

When a magnum opus film like Arundathi which has perfect blend of gripping screenplay and breathtaking visuals can be made with a budget of Rs 13 crore, why can't Gunasekhar focus on making Rudrama Devi at least on a moderate budget around Rs 25 crore? Point to be noted!

Producer Leaks Balayya's 100th Film Details !!

The two most special moments in Nandamuri Balakrishna's career may be the release of his 100th film and his entry into electoral politics. As the actor has already declared that he would be contesting the elections from one of the Assembly constituencies, the focus has been now shifted to the landmark film.

A strong buzz in the film circles is that K Raghavendra Rao's son Prakash (Anaganaga O Dheerudu fame) will direct Balayya. However, producer Sai Baba (Sri Rama Rajyam fame) condemned the reports and confirmed that he would be producing Balakrishna's 100th film and the directer will be the one who is quite popular in both Tollywood and Bollywood. He also gave a hint that the director may be a debutant and two foreign beauties have been confirmed to play the female leads. This project which was expected to be made with a high-budget will go to the floors in the first half of 2013.

Speculations about the 100th film might have prompted the producer to leak the information and now it's up to the fans to guess who will be directing Balakrishna's landmark film. Balayya seems to be taking his time to make it a memorable one. For now let's believe the wait is worth it!

The Kollywood actor filed a complaint against Manoj, but later withdrawn it after a compromise between both the parties.

Mega family heroes are growing in numbers with each passing day. But they all are not happening to be lucky for one guy and here is that talk going on in Film Nagar at the moment.

The whole mega bunch of heroes has graced for the launching function of Sai Dharam Tej and that movie is YVS Chowdary's 'Rey'.

Akshay And Prabhas Should Stop This !!

One is hunk hero of Tollywood and other one is aged superstar of B-town. Both are said to be doing some common things now, which are looking a bit 'extra' though they may call them as masala elements for fans.

When Prabhas kicks the bonnet of a car with his leg, the front two wheels of the car just bolt out and fly away from their position. And, if Akshay Kumar thumps the jeep of goons with his leg, all those goons just scatter away from the vehicle. Prabhas is doing that stunt for 'Mirchi', while Akshay is performing it for his forthcoming 'Khiladi 786'. Both these stunts look unreal and even fans of our star-heroes are not accepting them. Hitting 100 goons in a style is okay, but these impossible things are somewhat unacceptable these days. So, what our heroes will say about this is something we need to wait for.

On the other hand, Prabhas' Mirchi is said to be moving away from Sankranthi race, as two big flicks including Charan's Naayak and Mahesh-Venky's Seethamma Vaakitlo are hitting the marquee.

Director's 'Brainwash' for NTR Fans !!

It's never easy for a director who was branded as the one belonging to a certain filmy family to work without any distractions. Harish Shankar, the self-proclaimed die-hard fan of Pawan Kalyan, is in the same zone. As this hotshot director's next film is with NTR, the fans had their doubts on how he would direct their star and how the project would shape up.

Touted to be a master at preparing the scripts that suits the stars image, Harish seems to be brainwashing NTR's fans now. "Many directors may have their own favt Heros just as common audience. But am sure every director will love the hero he is working with. Hero ni love cheyakundaa heroism choopinchadam kastam. Oka manishini premichakunda adbhuthangaa elaa choopistaaro Naaku theliyadhu...," he clarifies.

In Film Industry, Directors work with several Heroes & vice versa, and all they want is to entertain the audience. Everyone gets inspired from something, be it from individuals or books or nature and there is nothing fault anyone here. Hope caste system will erase from society!

Hero admits Love Affair with Actress !!

Not very often does we come across a hero who admits he was in relationship with an actress and that too in South Film Industry. And Vishal is one of those rare finds! "It's true that I had been in relationship with an actress. After sometime things didn't work out as we planned and we broke up. So, I don't want to discuss much about it as people accuse me of craving for publicity," said the actor.

Vishal, however, condemned the reports that he is currently dating actor Sharath Kumar's daughter Varalakshmi who turned actress recently. "We are just childhood friend and known each other since 20 years. There is nothing other than that!," he clarifies.

ROUTINE LOVE STORY Movie Review !!

Movie : ROUTINE LOVE STORY
Rating: 3/5
Cast : Sundeep Kishan, Regina Cassandra, MS Narayana, Vennela Kishore, Tagubothu Ramesh and others
Directed by : Praveen Sattaru
Produced by : Chanakya B
Banner : A Working Dream Production
Music : Mickey J Meyer
Release Date : 2012-11-24



Praveen Sattaru, who made critically acclaimed LBW film is back with Routine Love Story. Sundeep and Regina played the lead roles in the urbane love tale which is targeted at class audiences and youngsters.

What is it about?

Sanjay (Sundeep) and Tanvi (Regina) become friends on a condition that the latter should agree to love the former in six months. After six months feelings towards each other changes and what happens to their love story is what this film is about.

Performances:

Sundeep is natural. He is very good in the confrontation scenes with Regina. He is a decent actor with loads of confidence. Regina is the show stealer. She has good looks and can act well. This combination is a rarity in Telugu films. She can go miles if she picks right films. MS Narayana's comedy is okay and Vennela Kishore did a cameo. Tagubothu Ramesh is fine and rest of the star cast played their parts well.

On the Technical Front:

As this is a love story, the colors are vibrant and it has cool locales. Art department and Camera department gelled well. Dialogues are alright and editing is adequate. Technical crew has been led by Mickey J Meyer's music, which is the major asset for this film. Production values are good.

Director did a decent job in ably handling his resources. He has a different style and approach towards film and that is evident in all the scenes. His debut film scores on the content front and this one falls short of expectations, especially for the people that have seen LBW.

Analysis:

Director opened the story in a funny flashback format which is nice. Hero's approach towards love and Heroine's clarity have been explained well. First half races ahead until the interval point and later on it gets stuck for a while.

This is a typical story that doesn't move ahead and fixes to a point and moves back and forth. Dealing with such subjects is a huge risk. Director challenged himself, but couldn't come out with desired results. Last half hour of the film didn't click as the comedy scenes and the climax backfired.

Despite the short comings, Routine Love Story scores due to the freshness in narration and good performances topped by cool musical score. Audiences who love to watch routine films with different approach can watch it. RLS appeals to young audience.

Verdict: Routine yet Different Love Story

Charan's Lift To Aunty - Fans Unhappy !!

Whatever a star hero does, his fans always take that into their hearts. Any slight missing of judgement will hurt them for sure. Latest thing to happen is to Mega fans who are unhappy with Charan's acts.

Fans are unable to digest the fact that Charan is asking an 'aunty' that if he can give her a lift to home. Not once, but he is asking the same aunty twice about this. This is happening in the recently released Tata Docomo commercial for which Megapowerstar is the brand ambassador. Fans are asking how come Charan accepted to give lift for an aunty, rather insisting for a girl. Maybe the ad-filmmakers might have not thought this way and hence they have kept an aunty character.

Also, some fans say that Ramcharan's sudden exit from Twitter is also a bitter thing for them, as they are not able to hear from their favourite hero often. Let us see what Charan will say about this.

The Man who made Pawan & Mahesh 'Actors' !!

Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu are the two biggest stars of Tollywood right now, but they too have undergone a rigorous training sessions before making foray into films. And the man who groomed them is Lanka Satyanand.

Recalling his past and how Pawan became his student, Satyanand said,"Wayback in 1982, Chiranjeevi liked the way I train new actors for theatre and he appreciated me. After 10 years, he called me and asked me to train Pawan. Till that time, I had no idea that Chiru has a brother, other than Nagababu."

"One day, Chiru placed a video camera in front of Pawan and asked him to deliver a single line 'Ent Ra! Nagurinchi Emi Anukuntunnav?'. Everybody including Charan who was a kid then, encouraged him, but he wasn't able to do that! Then Chiru asked his sister Madhavi to utter the same dialogue and she did it! Then Chiru told to Pawan,'When a girl is able to do it, why can't you? Why do you want to enter this field? Choose some other business'. Then Pawan replied if proper training was given to him, he can prove his mettle. That's how I was chosen. After the training, all the members of Chiru family were shocked to see a drastic change in Pawan. I feel very happy to see him doing so well now," he added.

Satyanand has produced 61 heroes including Prabhas, Brahmi's Son and Puri's brother till date. He has opened a film school in Vizag and traines 4-5 people for a batch with a common syllabus for one and all.

DHAMARUKAM Movie Review !!

Movie : DHAMARUKAM
Rating: 3/5
Cast : Nagarjuna, Anushka, Prakash Raj, Ganesh Venkatraman
Directed by : Srinivas Reddy
Produced by : Venkat
Banner : R R Movie Makers
Music : Devisri prasad
Release Date : 2012-11-23



Dhamarukam has finally hit screens today much to the relief of Nagarjuna and his fans. Is the movie worth the wait? Is it going to be a visual feast as promised?

What is it about?

Andhakasura (Ravi Shankar) is a Rakshasa who wants to destroy Earth and its existence. For that he has to marry Maheshwari (Anushka) who was born on an auspicious day. But her lover Malli (Nagarjuna) doesn't allow Andhakasura to execute his plan. Malli gets help from Lord Shiva to counter Andhakasura.

Performances:

Nagarjuna is at ease as Malli. He mouthed few massy dialogues and also looked strikingly handsome in this film. Anushka is alright as the female lead. Ravi Shankar steals the show as Andhakasura. He is a revelation. Everyone that watched the movie will praise him for his wonderful portrayal of the character. Prakash Raj somehow didn't fit the role of Lord Shiva. Ganesh Venkatraman is good as the bad guy. Rest of the star cast are okay.

On the Technical Front:

Cinematography is good and editing is not up to the mark. There are far too many jumps in the flow of the film. Very poorly edited. Music by Devi Sri Prasad is the highlight of the film. Songs are nice and the background score is very good. He has rocked in the scenes connected to Lord Shiva and Andhakasura. Well done Devi.

Director Srinivasa Reddy handled the movie well up to certain level. But beyond that he failed as a director. This film needs excellent visualization and wonderful directorial sparks to keep the audiences glued. But Srinivasa Reddy doesn't possess those skills or maybe he didn't use them to perfection. As a director he scores below average marks. Producer will get hundred for uncompromising production values.

Analysis:

Dhamarukam opens with an interesting premise. The basic plot reminds you of Bhairava Dweepam and Anaganaga O Dheerudu etc. that are made in similar lines. Director tried to make it commercially viable by dealing it in contemporary fashion.

There is comedy and also a romantic track between the lead pair. Both these tracks are not dealt well and more importantly they have brought down the final impact. Second half purely runs on villain character and hence the second hour has better moments than the first half. Last twenty minutes of the film is good with nice visual effects.

Director should have taken extra care on the script as it remains flat throughout without any thrilling moments. Despite using visually generated monsters in the film, the director didn't make use of them. There are many loop holes in the screenplay as well. Saying so, films like Dhamarukam are rarely made in Tollywood. Hope our audiences laps this up despite the drawbacks.

Verdict: Low volume Dhamarukam!

Chaitu Missing Real Punch Of ANS !!

'Auto Nagar Surya' will be big movie for Naga Chaitanya when it comes to turning his career. The outcome of this flick is going to decide about his mass image. The talk now is about a comparison of this movie's previous teaser and present teaser.

This project got more craze only due to one single thing, the voice teaser released by director Deva Katta long back. More than Deva's base voice, the music given by Mahesh Shankar for that short voice-clip did an amazing magic on the audiences that time. But now, the background score given by Anup Rubens seems not enthralling as the previous one. Cine Observers are saying that Chaitu's voice is doing the magic but the score given for it is not living up to expectations. That way the young romantic hero is missing the real punch of 'Auto Nagar Surya'.

Anyways, this is just a teaser and we need to see in the whole film to find out if the background score has that real punch or not. Except a couple of songs, ANS is said to be totally wrapped and maybe this film also stand in Sankranthi race.

Dhamarukam received an instant super hit talk from all the shows. We didn't hear any single negative report about the film and that is a super positive sign.

First half of Dhamarukam is fine with good entertainment and the real story starts in the second half. Last half an hour is the best part of the film, sources said. Dhamarukam is an experience that has to be experienced in the theaters itself told a source who watched the film at Bellary. All other friends of his were equally pleased with the movie, he told.

Graphics in the movie are spectacular and Ravi Shankar who played the evil man has put up a shocking show it seems. If this talk comes out from regular shows on Friday, then there will be no stopping for Dhamarukam. As Nagarjuna predicted this would be his biggest hit. Let's see how far Damarukam goes.
