Dookudu Beating Magadheera In all Centers!



The much awaited movie ‘Dookudu’ has finally hit the screens and it appears that it is bouncing with a bang. Box office pundits are predicting that ‘Dookudu’ will turn out to be the biggest hit in terms of collections history of Tollywood. As such, the openings have shown thumping collections.
So far, the highest collections in this year have gone for ‘Mr Perfect’ followed by ‘Kandireega’ and then ‘100% Love’. Even ‘Badrinath’ to an extent made some collections. Going by the current trend, ‘Dookudu’ will beat all of them comfortably and runs ahead to beat all time industry hits Pokiri and Magadheera. Thanks to long vacations.
Among the upcoming straight films, the only competition ‘Dookudu’ has is in the form of ‘Oosaravelli’ and ‘Rajanna’. There is also ‘Srirama Rajyam’ but it will not fit into this genre of banging the box office. For now, the coast is clear till the next two weeks for ‘Dookudu’ and since the talk is positive, it has all potential to become the highest collection maker of the industry because of 80 percent of theatres were occupied by it.
Already the trade reports are coming from Guntur, Vizag, Nellore and Tirupathi that Magadheera record is going to be broken by Dookudu within first 3 days.
Coming to the figures, Magadheera made a gross of around Rs 4.5 Cr in USA and now ‘Dookudu’ is expected to make Rs 6.5 crore very comfortably.
At home, the first day collection itself was around Rs 7-8 Cr which is whopping and crossed the first day collection of ‘Magadheera’. Even though Oosaravelli gets hit talk, it can lift the advantage of vacations just for 4 days. But Dookudu is enjoying the advantage from release date Sep 23rd to Oct 10th.
Mahesh Babu’s potentiality is proved again.

Mahesh Dominates Samantha On Screen


Samantha looked stunningly gorgeous in Ye Maya Chesave and extremely charming in Brindavanam. She dominated the heroes in those films and looked like an angel. But that is not the case when she is cast opposite most handsome hero of South Mahesh Babu.

Samantha looked pale and dull compared to Mahesh in each and every scene and song. Although she has pretty looks and also a decent actress, Samantha completely failed before Mahesh in every aspect. Prince in a scene points out at her complexion and says that she is not at all suitable for him. He comments about her height too.

Mahesh Babu also makes a crude remark 'Pitta Moham' at her in a scene that got thunderous applause from the audience. This is not the first time for Mahesh to dominate his costar. Many gorgeous heroines looked very dull when paired up with him. Such is the charm of Prince and Samantha need not be ashamed of herself for being outshined.

Balakrishna @ No Trisha, Then No Film


Speculations are already on a rise about this flick and the news is that it is not on cards anymore. Reportedly, heroine Trisha is said to be the cause for the trouble.

Apparently, Mass Hero Balakrishna is supposed to star in HARA HARA MAHADEVA, under the production of his close associate Bellamkonda Suresh. Right from the launch of the movie, it faced severe criticism. The posters that were created by using the pictures of other heroes and replacing with Balayya's head caused a stir. However, the movie finally got shelved as ravishing siren Trisha walked out of the project. Though there is no official confirmation about the trouble, sources are saying it is true.

An insider shared that Balayya said a serious no to the project sighting two reasons. If we could expect one reason to be the storyline and belief on B.Gopal, then what is the second one? 'It is only Trisha that made Balayya change his mind and he cannot accept Taapsee who is roped in as an alternative', the source added.

NTR fans Worried about Dookudu


Theatres playing Mahesh Babu's Dookudu are thronged by lakhs of film buffs on Friday and it is no wonder that it has rewritten history on its first day. Especially the benefit shows of Dookudu got a huge response that the tickets were sold for more than thousand rupees in few areas. Generally benefit shows are meant for fans but for Dookudu, the tension among NTR fans too helped to fetch superb demand for benefit show tickets.

Nandamuri fans were in large numbers at the Dookudu premieres/fan shows/benefit shows. They are so concerned about Dookudu result because NTR's Oosaravelli is lined up for release soon. They wanted this film to flop so that their hero doesn't have competition from Mahesh for some time. They are the ones who spread the negative talk about the film after the initial shows, allege Prince fans. Whatever it may be finally the truth prevails and Dookudu has been getting excellent response from all corners. So, NTR fans have now realized that they couldn't stop its sensations through bad propaganda and are only praying that Oosaravelli is a better film. Last year it was NTR who dominated the show with Brindavanam over Khaleja. This time Mahesh throws a bigger challenge to Junior and we have to see how he responds.

Parvathy Melton Sex Appeal Talk


It has been a while since Parvathy Melton has been seen onscreen and some said she left India to lead a new life abroad. However, all that has been put to rest as Parvathy is back and that too with vengeance. Well, the item song in ‘Dookudu’ which goes ‘Poovai poovai….’ has pumped up the libido levels of all the male audience.

The prime reason for that is this red wine beauty. The sex appeal of Parvathi Melton has become a major talk among the film circles. Though she has cut down her weight, many say Parvathi has oozed the same heat that she showed in ‘Jalsa’. Now, all of them are thanking only one man for that.  He is none other than director Deva Katta. Apparently, Deva was the man who introduced Parvathi Melton to Telugu cinema through his film ‘Vennela’. Sources say he has been getting messages from his friends saying, “your heroine is testing testosterone”…”great deva! U r lucky to work with such sexy damsel..”  etc!! That’s the power this 5 feet 9 inches beauty is generating.

Puri Jagannadh On Cloud-9 For Mahesh Babu


From a long time, many have been waiting to see when Mahesh Babu will score a hit. After his blockbuster ‘Pokiri’ there has been no success. But now, all those wishes are being answered and many are happy with the way his latest offering ‘Dookudu’ is being received across all centers.

One man in particular is jumping in joy, as per sources. He is none other than Puri Jagannadh and though he has no connection with ‘Dookudu’ here is the reason. Sources say this has boosted Puri’s confidence that his project ‘The Businessman’ starring Mahesh Babu will work out well. Currently, the shooting is going on at Mumbai and buzz is that Puri feels the business expectations and market value of ‘The Businessman’ will rise by atleast 30%-40% due to the ‘Dookudu’ impact. Already, the Puri- Mahesh combo is called the crazy combo as they gave the blockbuster ‘Pokiri’.
