Nagavalli Actress Special Song Shoot Stills
2010 Roundup- Hits and Flops
teluguveera.com is bringing you the hits and flops of 2010.
To start up, the Telugu Film Industry has almost witnessed 115 straight Telugu films (more than 150 including dubbed films) in 2010. However, it has hardly single digit hits, few average to above average films and many disasters. Most awaited films of the year sank at the Box-Office. The success percentage of films has dipped down drastically this year with a series of big flops and the reports says that Tollywood has approximately lost 200 Crores at the Box-Office. Here is our analysis, Take a look!
2010 Hit Flicks
To be frank, Tollywood has not had its range of hits this year. Bala Krishna’s Simha is the only straight noteworthy hit to be talked of. The Yuvaratna received the much needed hit at the right time in the form of ‘Simha’ after many long years. The fans were quite happy to see their star back in form and the film had good collections at Box-Office.
Jr.NTR too was flying high this year with two decent hits,Adhurs and Brindavanam.Prabhas and director Karunakaran came up with a typical youthful love story Darlingthat was liked by the audience. Director Rajamouli has earned yet another feather in his cap with Maryada Ramanna in 2010. Unlike his earlier films, Maryada Ramanna has no star heroes and not a mega budget too, but had a new plot and good screenplay.
Unfortunate Disasters:
The list of debacles, this year is too big. Industry had high expectations on these, but the biggies failed with these complete no-shows at the Box-Office. Nagarjuna starrerKedi, Allu Arjun starrer Varudu, Dil Raju-Varun Sandesh starrer Maro Charitra,Siddharth starrer Bava, Mahesh starrer Khaleja, Ram Charan’s Orange failed badly and left tears for producers and distributors. Big names, high expectations, heavy budgets and much hype couldn’t save these films in making steady collections for the very first week too.
Low Budget Winners:
The big-budget failures have turned out as a blessing to medium budget and low budgets as the crowds showed their attention towards these films. Allari Naresh has created a niche for himself in the last couple of years. He is said to be one of the most bankable stars of all-time. His Betting Bangarraju, Katti Kanta Rao brought good profits at B-O. The Tamil remake, Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu turned out as unexpected success.
Critically-Acclaimed Films
Few films may not start up with great collections but they will indeed manage to gather much appreciation from the critics as well as the paying audience. Deva Katta- Sharwanand’s Prasthanam, Sharwanand starrer Andhari Bhandhuvaya, multi-starrer flick Vedam are such films. Sekhar kammula made a good attempt with Leader which showed the dark reality of modern day politics.
Prasthanam and Andhari Bhandhuvaya might have done well if the producers have concentrated on more publicity.
Prasthanam was a political backdrop film with the shades of human emotions. The lust and greed for power will lead a man to any extremity is the concept behind the film. Sai Kumar has put in riveting performance beside Sharwanad.
Chandra Siddharth of ‘Aa Naluguru’ fame came up with yet another inspiring and heart touching film Andhari Banduvayya. This strong script speaks about the human values and morals that reached to many hearts
These critically praised films had decent run at B-O.
2010 Lucky Actors/ Average Scorers:
Apart from other star heroes, Manchu Manoj is one of the luckiest actors of 2010 who came up with three films. He received success with Bindaas and Jhummandi Nadamand Vedam turned out above average. Naga Chaitanya scored his first hit withGautham Menon’s romantic entertainer Ye Maya Chesave. Comedian turned hero,Sunil received a good success by proving his mettle with Maryada Ramanna. Kajal Agarwal bagged two hits into her account this year with Darling and Brindavanam
Clicked Debutants
Amidst of many debutant ladies and many top heroines, Samantha needs a special mention this year. The gorgeous lady has become an overnight star with her debut flick and turned as heartthrob to many youngsters. Promising debutants Rana Daggubati, Richa Gangopadhyay and Priya Anand (Telugu) gave notable performances in Sekhar Kammula’s political drama Leader. Deeksha Seth, the former Miss India finalist, managed well with her performance in Vedam.
Dubbed Hits:
Dubbed flicks occupied a special place in 2010. Infact, the Telugu Film Industry faced heavy competition with Tamil dubbed films. It has been raining hits from Kollywood this year with Rajini Kanth’s Robo, Kamal’s Manmadha Banam, Karthi’s Awara, Suriya’sYamudu etc. Rajini Kanth, Shankar’s Magnum opus, Robo occupied tollywood’s throne this year, by collecting 47 crores at B-O. Looks like few roles are made only for Rajini, he just created magic on-screen as Robo. Robo has set a new benchmark for the special effects on the Indian screens. On the other hand, Rakta Charitra-1 (dubbed version from Hindi) impressed audience.
Here is the list of the films released with high expectations in 2010
Well, let’s hope the industry analyses on what went wrong and bounces back with hits in 2011.2010 remained as a worst year that Tollywood has ever faced. The industry failed to set the cash registers ringing despite huge budget outings and top star casts. 2010 gave a harsh lesson to Tollywood film-makers that a film becomes success only if it has a strong content irrespective of the budget they pump in.
Buzz about the original ‘Nagavalli’!
Victory Venkatesh’s upcoming film, ‘Nagavalli’ is creating waves with its interesting logo, trailers and freshly, with its songs. The whole unit of ‘Nagavalli’ gave the outline of the story that the film revolves around five women and they have stated that, only in the climax you will come to know the original ‘Nagavalli’ of the film.
Who is the original ‘Nagavalli’ out of Anushka, Shradda Das, Kamalini Mukerjee, Richa Gangopadhyaya and Poonam Kaur is the million dollar question? However for people who can’t wait for the film to be released, here’s the buzz of original ‘Nagavalli’ making rounds.
Anushka is portraying the role of ‘Nagavalli’ in the film, who is the dancer in the court for King Venkatesh four hundred years ago. Kamalinee Mukherjee will be seen as a dance teacher while Poonam Kaur in the supporting role. So, excluding the above three actresses, it must be between Richa Gangopadhyay and Shradda Das. As per the buzz, it is Shradda Das who will be chased by Nagavalli and her soul gets into Shradda’s body. The actress is said to have given a great performance in the climax part like Jyothika in Chandramukhi.
Tabu finds her new companion!
Actress Tabu seems to have found her new companion. The actress is being graced at several places with the Bollywood director, Lovely Singh in the last couple of weeks. The director is one among the invitees of her Diwali bash apart from her close friends and family.
Bollywood is at buzz that these both are hanging out together. Well, the other news is that Lovely Singh who is planning to direct ad films is trying to cast this National Award winning actress by leaving all the younger actresses of today. Lovely happens to be the close friend of Tusshar Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor too.
What might be the reason behind this is a million dollar question!
Tarun’s CACA in post-production works
Tarun , Vimala Raman starrer Chukkalanti Ammayi Chakkanaina Abbayi (CACA) has hit the floors an year ago, but failed to see the light of the day till date. Tarun has no single release since his Sasi Rekha Parinayam (2009). However, he has signed up a multistarrer film Anucharudu with Srikanth and a new film under the production of Natti Kumar.
CACA has completed its entire part of the shooting, which was mostly shot in Bangkok. The film has moved into the post-production phases. The audio is likely to release by the end of January.
Chukkalanti Ammayi Chakkanaina Abbayi is being directed by Kanmani and produced by Raj Harwani and Gogineni Srinivasa Rao jointly on the banner of Supreme Movies.
Deeksha Seth, the most Wanted lady?
Deeksha Seth, the former Miss India finalist, who made her presence in Vedam with a small role, has grabbed the attention of many. She later bagged the roles in Mirapakaya and Wanted.
The interesting news is both these films Mirapakaya and Wanted are hitting the big-screens in January. Mirapakaya opposite Ravi Teja is slated for a big release world-wide tomorrow and Wanted with Gopichand is gearing up for its release on 21st January.
Deeksha’s fate in Tollywood will rely on the result of these two flicks. However, Tollywood is at buzz that Deeksha has already bagged two more big projects, which are yet to be announced officially. So, this Wanted heroine almost became the most wanted heroine of Tollywood.
Mahesh walks out of ‘3-Idiots’ remake!
The news of ‘3-Idiots’ remake in Telugu and Tamil versions are making rounds in web media and all the popular TV channels from past few weeks. Earlier, there was news that Shankar wields the megaphone of this big-budget in both the versions and Mahesh and Vijay are roped in for Telugu and Tamil versions respectively.
For starters, the remake of ‘3-Idiots’ was earlier supposed to start its shoot from Decemeber. However, Mahesh has reported that there is a clash of dates between ‘Dookudu’ and ‘3-Idiots’. The actor initially allocated his December diary to Srinu Vaitla’s ‘Dookudu’. So, the speculations are making rounds that Mahesh is out of this remake. On the other hand, there is also news that Vijay who has been roped in for the Tamil Version also had walked out of the project for his own other reasons.
Well, before coming into our own conclusions, let’s wait for the official announcement of the film’s status from the producers.
