NTR's Revenge On Telugu Film Industry !!

Even though he worked hard for years, Telugu Film Industry has not given him a single hit to his credit. At least a commercially feasible movie would have made him happy, but that became a distant dream for him. That is why he started taking revenge!

As Tollywood has not given him offers for a long time, he is now doing all possible roles in one year as he got three offers in hand. Nandamuri Taraka Ratna is now the talk of town for the kind of roles he is accepting. On one hand he is acting as a 'Drama Artist' in 'Mike Testing 143' movie, while he is playing a funny Yamudu in 'Nenu Chala Worst' and a lover boy role in 'Vijetha' movie. Latest entry is this devotee role 'Bhakta Siriyala', which is getting filmed with the same name. No doubt, this must be a revenge of NTR as he is firing all flicks by almost same time on audiences.

Even though NTR had no hits and mettle proving, he seems quite lucky to get roles with such variations. Can he deliver at least single hit with any one of them?

Nag's Damarukam plays the spoilsport !!

Nagarjuna's much-awaited Damarukam has disturbed the release dates of all the other films scheduled in the month of November.

Although both Damarukam and Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum are expected to hit the screens on November 9th, that's not gonna happen now. Despite completing the Censor formalities on Monday, the makers of KVJ are in two minds whether to postpone or release it on the same day. Director Krish is determined to release KVJ on 9th itself to cash in on the Diwali season, but the theatres availability is a big concern. Most probably, KVJ is gearing up for either Nov 10th or Nov 23rd release.

On the other hand, Vijay-AR Murugadoss's action entertainer Tupaki release has been pushed to Nov 13, teenage comedy Bus Stop to Nov 23 and the love subject Routine Love Story to Nov 29. Finally, Damarukam is having a solo release and considering the huge budget spent on this film such advantage is a must to recover the investments.

Trade pundits say, the openings and the first week collections will decide the fate of Damarukam. This graphical extravaganza will have to recover at least 65 percent of cost of production at the end of first week to be in the safe zone, or else the people associated with the film would suffer huge losses.
