Due to the bomb blasts here, no major films were released barring "Raghavan", the dubbed Telugu version of Goutham Menon's "Vettaiyadu Vilayadu". "Yamadonga" continues to be on the top.
THE TOP FIVE TELUGU MOVIES:
1. MOVIE NAME: YAMADONGA
CAST: Mohan Babu, NTR, Priyamani, Mamata Mohandas, Kushboo, Rambha, Jaya Prakash Reddy, Narendra Jha, Rajiv Kanakala, Naresh, Ali, Brahmanandam, MS Narayana, Raghubabu, Preeti Jingyani, Navaneet Kaur, Archana, Narsing Yadav, Siva Parvati etc
SCREENPLAY - DIRECTION: SS Rajamouli
MUSIC: MM Keeravani
PRODUCER: Cherry and Urmila Gunnam
RELEASE DATE: 15 August 2007
BOX-OFFICE VERDICT: Even after two weeks the film is running in more than a dozen theatres. Director S.S. Rajamouli and actor NTR Jr. combo seems to have worked at the box office as it has emerged as a big grosser despite unfavourable reviews. Huge sets, especially the Yamalokam by Anand Sai, presence of several heroines and good music by Keeravani have also helped in luring the crowd.
2. MOVIE NAME: RAGHAVAN
CAST: kamal Hassan, kamalinee Mukherjee, Jyothika, Prakash Raj, Lev Gorn, Ajay Naidu, Salim Baig and Mumaith Khan (item song)
SCREENPLAY - DIRECTION: Gowtam Menon
MUSIC: Harris Jayaraj
PRODUCER: KVV Satyanarayana
RELEASE DATE: 1 September 2007
BOX-OFFICE VERDICT:The dubbed Telugu version of "Vettaiyadu Vilayadu" opened in quite a few theatres and has got good reviews. This Goutham Menon film, starring Kamal Haasan and Jyothika, is now in the second spot. It is likely to do well as it is a well-made film.
3. MOVIE NAME: YAMAGOLA MALLI MODALAYYINDI
CAST: Srikanth, Venu, Meera Jasmine, Reema Sen
MUSIC: Jeevan Thomas
DIRECTOR: Srinivasa Reddy
PRODUCER: Amar, Rajasekhar, Satish
RELEASE DATE: 23rd August, 2007
BOX-OFFICE VERDICT:The laugh riot, which has an impressive star cast, was released a week ago. But it seems to be doing only average business.
4. MOVIE NAME: LAKSHYAM
CAST: Gopichand, Jagapati Babu, Anushka, Kalyani, Kota, Yashpal Sharma, Asish Vidyardhi, Amit, Raghubabu, Brahmanandam, Venu Madhav, Srinivasa Reddy, Chalapati Rao, Ahuti Prasad, Ravi Babu, Dharmavarapu, Pragati, Vijaya Singh, Surya etc
STORY - SCREENPLAY - DIRECTION: Srivas
MUSIC: Mani Sharma
PRODUCER: Nallamalupu Srinivas (Bujji)
RELEASE DATE: 5 July 2007
BOX-OFFICE VERDICT: Actor Gopichand seems to have a good run as "Lakshyam" is doing well. It overtook Chiranjeevi-starrer "Shankar Dada Zindabad", thanks to a decent blend of entertainment and action from director Srivas.
5. MOVIE NAME: SHANKAR DADA ZINDABAD
CAST:Chiranjeevi, Karishma Kotak, Srikanth, Sayaji Shinde, Sarath Babu, Sada, Rohit, Brahmanandam, MS Narayana, Venu Madhav, Dharmavarapu Subramanyam, Melkote, Kantha Rao, Sundaram Master, Gundu Hanmantha Rao, Jeeva, Sunil, Tirupati Prakash, Yana Gupta (item song) & Pawan Kalyan (special appearance)
SCREENPLAY - DIRECTION: Prabhudeva
MUSIC: Devi Sri Prasad
PRODUCER: Gemini Film Circuit
RELEASE DATE: 27 July 2007
BOX-OFFICE VERDICT: A remake of Bollywood hit "Lage Raho Munna Bhai", the film failed to live up to expectations despite the presence of megastar Chiranjeevi. It is running in a theatre or two. The directors should think twice before making Telugu remakes of Hindi films.
