Sexy Bollywood Bomb's Love For Balayya

Here mere presence on the screen is enough to tighten the pants of the male audience. As if that is not enough, she comes up with raunchy and steamy appearances that ooze saliva from many mouths. Her name is Neha Dhupia and right now, she has revealed a strong desire.

It is heard that after ‘Parama Veera Chakra’ Neha has developed a rapport with Nandamuri Balakrishna and has fallen for him. While it is not sure what she liked about Balayya but sources say she is getting very desperate about meeting him once again.

Cine folks say maybe Neha wants to do spicy roles in the Nandamuri camp and make her presence felt. As such, she doesn’t have any projects in Bollywood. However, few say that usually Balayyya doesn’t fall for all this. Only time will tell whether it is Neha’s natural sex appeal or Nandamuri Andagaadu’s will power that will win…

'Parama Veera Chakra' Piracy In Internet Centres

This might sound like a shock to you but then the major disaster ‘Parama Veera Chakra’ is currently making rounds in the internet parlours. Wondering why? Well, it is noticed that the film is being watched the pirated version of the film in full blast sound without any problem.

Well, the point to notice is no one is caring even if it is pirated and have ignored it completely. The film is in that much pitiable condition. Recently, one of the busiest internet centres in the Lakdi Ka Pul area was spotted with the ‘PVC’ film being seen in one of the systems.

The consolation for director Dasari Narayana Rao is, atleast the film is being watched though in a pirated version. But then, it has clearly shown that at the end of the day, it is not words but stuff in the film that matters to the audience to give it a hit or phat. 

Balakrishna Fires Dasari Not For 'PVC' Flop

Just like the way he is on the screen, Nandamuri Balakrishna is a very vibrant person who is not only strict but has also got his own set of rules. However, a recent incident has come to light which is now unleashing the volcano inside him and one man in particular is getting burnt by that. He is none other than Darsakaratna Dasari Narayana Rao. 

Apparently, his latest venture ‘Parama Veera Chakra’ has become a major flop and though all knew it as soon as it hit the screens, Balayya was kept in the dark. Dasari and a few ‘bhajana batch’ kept Balayya in mesmerizing mode giving him false reports about the result of the project.

Now he knew the truth and so he is blasting Dasari Narayana Rao, as per sources.

What is more paining for him than the flop is ‘calling a flop a hit’. That is most disturbing and Dasari did exactly that. Balayya is one man who doesn’t like cheating or lies. He strongly believes that success and failure of any film are not in our hands. But when he realized that Dasari cheated him, he is hitting the roof. It is very difficult to control Balayya if he gets angry, reveal his household staff.

As if that is not enough, Dasari’s statements like ‘PVC’ will get Balayya a National Award and Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt planning to remake in Hindi were the heights. The cine folks make it clear - never mess with Balayya, but what Dasari has done, the consequences he has to pay might be quite high.

Report: Tollywood's Festive Collection Dismal

Hyderabad: The Sankranti festival is usually a money-spinner for Tollywood filmmakers and distributors. This year it is different. The collection from three big films combined has not crossed the `10 crore mark in the first week.

According to industry sources, the three-day festival pulled in `21 crore in 2010 and `19 cores in 2009, which means that this year’s collection has dropped by 50 per cent.

The repetitive content of the films, the squeeze on farmers who make up much of the audience at this time, inflation and the cautious mood among fans are said to be the cause of the poor box-office takings.

If Arundhati alone grossed `11 crore in 2009 in the first week, Adurs swept the 2010 collections with `13 crore. In contrast, this season all the three releases — Param Veera Chakra, Mirapakai and Anaganaga Oka Dheerudu — have made far from record-breaking collections.

“New releases haven’t fared well because audiences want to be doubly sure before stepping into theatres. The screening of new films like Robo on TV during the festival also affected our viewership," says Mr Vijayender Reddy, president, Telangana Film Chambers of Commerce. The Sankranti festival has in the past made blockbusters of films such as Samarasimhareddy, Narasimhanaidu, Arundhati, Desamuduru, Samarasimhareddy, Varsham, and Nuvvu Vasthanante Nenoddantana. Producer Chintalapudi Srinivas blames the floods and inflation for the dip in viewership.

“Farmers form the major chunk of the audience during Sankranti but the recent floods have affected their livelihood. The spiralling cost of vegetables and groceries has diminished the purchasing power of lower and middle class viewers. Even die-hard fans seem to be adopting a wait and watch approach,” he says.

“The first audiences cause a lot of damage by SMSing reports of the films, while others make nasty remarks, which discourages fence-sitters. Thus, regular viewers are reluctant to spend `200 on what they are told is a bad film,” says Mr Srinivas, a distributor.

Sankranthi Report: Fate Of 4 Releases

The festival of Sankranthi is the most auspicious for the Telugu people and the culture is imbibed into the Tollywood circuit as well.

The cine folks believe that since it is the opening of the year, they feel that a good start to the box office will always lead to good results down the line. Therefore, they come up with the best of the big budget movies and want to be the first winners in the list.

Now, the Sankranthi for 2011 is complete and four films were in the race for top honors. Three out of the four were big banner and big star flicks while the fourth was more of a urban treat. So, here is a look at the fate of all the films now that the festival frenzy is over.

Parama Veera Chakra:This was the most hyped and much awaited film from Nandamuri Balakrishna. After the blockbuster hit of ‘Simha’, many expected Balayya to repeat the magic and the fact that this was also the 150th directorial venture of Dasari Narayana Rao added to the hype. However, the film turned out to be a colossal disaster at the box office.

Though Balayya did justice to his act, many blamed the weak handling by Dasari which resulted in the flop. A film which is reportedly made at Rs 20 crore budget is currently scrambling to touch even Rs 2 crores.

Anaganaga Oka Dheerudu:
A super hyped fantasy flick, the film had many highlights. It marked the debut of Shruti Haasan and Lakshmi Manchu in Telugu. It also welcomed the Hollywood giant Walt Disney into Telugu. Above all, this had Siddarth in an ambitious role of a warrior while the director if Kovelamudi Prakash, son of K Raghavendar Rao.  Despite so many plusses, the film still turned out to be a dud. Yet again, the cause for that is Prakash and his poor directorial abilities, said many.

Mirapakaya:
Mass maharaja Ravi Teja seems to be riding on luck somewhat. His earlier venture was ‘Don Seenu’ which scraped into a safe zone thanks to few external factors and the glamour of Shriya. This time, he has emerged to be the lucky winner once again. Though the film was not worthy of being given a pass mark, the poor performance of other two films and the crowd pulling factor of Ravi Teja worked the trick and reports say that the film is inching towards a commercial hit. This in a way, is relief to the box office.

Golconda High School:
The soft spoken hero Sumanth has arrived with an offbeat venture this time and this is the rather unconventional treat from director Indraganti Mohana Krishna of ‘Ashta Chemma’ fame. With cricket as the backdrop and sticking to the environment of the school like the title suggests, the film has got a mixed response. While few connected to the film very well on nostalgic grounds and love for cricket, few felt that it lacked the velocity and intensity to grip the audience. Overall, this is a clean film amidst the lot of masala flicks and with a message.

So folks, the Sankranthi season has given an overall disappointing result and now, the focus will be on the summer releases. Let us see if the heat picks up by then or not.
