      <strong>Telugu Dumb Charades(Damsharas): Top 100 Movie Titles, Songs, Dialogues</strong>
      Telugu Dumb Charades(Damsharas): Top 100 Movie Titles, Songs, Dialogues
      [toc] Summer has arrived, and now both children and adults will be spending more time at home. They enjoy themselves at family functions and get-togethers with friends. During such occasions, they have fun playing light-hearted games like Dumb Charades with neighbors. In this game, one person whispers the name of a movie, song, or hero into another's ear, and then that person has to convey it through gestures instead of speaking. The time constraint in this game adds an element of excitement and humor. Many players enjoy selecting challenging names for others to act out in Dumb Charades, which makes it difficult for the other person to convey these names through gestures alone. How to Play Dumb Charade? Form Teams: No matter how many participants there are, split into teams. It could be two, three, or more teams, but ensure each has an equal number of members. Follow these tips for Dumb Charade(Damsharas): Use Gestures: Before starting the game, agree on some common gestures with your team members. For example, to signify a 'movie', you might join your thumb and index finger. To indicate a 'song', place your hand near your mouth and pretend to hum. For portraying a hero, mimic the action of raising a collar; for a heroine, place a hand on your waist and stroll elegantly. These basic gestures can help convey the essence of the Dumb Charade topic effectively. Scoring &amp; Prizes: Having a judge for the Dumb Charades game is advisable. The judge assists in resolving any conflicts between teams and allocates points to the winners of each round. The team that accumulates the most points by the end of the pre-determined number of rounds is declared the winner. To enhance the fun, small prizes can be given to the members of the winning team. In Dumb Charades, participants frequently choose movie titles, songs, and names of actors and actresses. To add a twist and make the game more distinctive, incorporating professions into Dumb Charades can really liven things up. Please review the list of professions provided below. Profession Singer- గాయకుడుDentist- దంతవైద్యుడుArchitect- ఆర్కిటెక్ట్Carpenter-&nbsp; వడ్రంగిWaiter- వెయిటర్Detective-&nbsp; గూఢాచారిPoet- కవిLawyer- న్యాయవాదిModel-&nbsp; మోడల్Goldsmith- బంగారు పని చేసేవారుFarmer-&nbsp; రైతుSoldier- సైనికుడుVehicle Driver– డ్రైవర్Dancer- నృత్యకారుడుNurse- నర్స్Blacksmith-&nbsp; లోహాలు తయారు చేసే వ్యక్తి(కమ్మరి)Writer- రచయితWasherman-&nbsp; బట్టలు ఉతికే వ్యక్తిFlorist- పూల ఆలంకరణ చేసే వ్యక్తిPilot- పైలెట్Cook- వంటవాడుLibrarian- లైబ్రెరియన్Clown- విదిషకుడు( కామెడీ చేసే వ్యక్తిFisherman- చేపలు పట్టే వ్యక్తిMechanic-&nbsp; మెకానిక్Artist- చిత్రకారుడుJeweler- ఆభరణాలు తయారు చేేేసే వ్యక్తిClerk- క్లర్క్( గుమస్తా)Policeman- పోలీస్Journalist- విలేఖరిSecurity Guard- సెక్యురిటీగార్డ్Accountant- అకౌంటెంట్Astrologer- జ్యోతిష్కుడుPhotographer- ఫొటోగ్రాఫర్Betel-seller- తమలపాకులు అమ్మె వ్యక్తిGardener- తోటమాలిTeacher- ఉపాధ్యాయుడుActor-&nbsp; నటుడుAthlete- అథ్లెట్Servant/Maid-&nbsp; పనిమనిషి In Damsharas, participants must mimic the typical activities of individuals from various professions. For instance, if portraying a doctor, you could pretend to use a stethoscope or administer an injection. Likewise, other professions should be depicted with actions that highlight their main duties. To enhance patriotism in schools and educational institutions, you can include the names of freedom fighters in this game. This makes the game not only more unique but also more engaging. When players successfully guess the name and then learn about the significance of that freedom fighter, it significantly enhances the gameplay experience. Here is a list of Indian freedom fighters that you can incorporate into your game: Dumb Charades Telugu Freedom Fighters Telugu freedom fightersస్వాతంత్ర్య సమరయోధులుTanguturi Prakasam Pantuluటంగుటూరి ప్రకాశంAlluri Sitarama Rajuఅల్లూరి సీతారామరాజుPingali Venkayyaపింగళి వెంకయ్యPotti Sreeramuluపొట్టి శ్రీరాములుKomaram Bheemకొమరం భీంKonda Venkatappaiahకొండా వెంకటప్పయ్యVavilala Gopalakrishnayyaవావిలాల గోపాల కృష్ణMadapati Hanumantha Raoమాడపాటి హన్మంతరావుDurgabai Deshmukhదుర్గాబాయ్ దేశ్‌ముఖ్Ravi Narayana Reddyరావి నారాయణ రెడ్డిChakali Ailammaచాకలి అయిలమ్మSuravaram Pratapareddyసురవరం ప్రతాప్ రెడ్డిMahatma Gandhiమహాత్మ గాంధీJawaharlal Nehruజవహార్ లాల్ నెహ్రూSubhas Chandra Boseసుభాష్ చంద్రబోస్Bhagat Singhభగత్ సింగ్Sardar Vallabhbhai Patelసర్దార్ వల్లాభాబయ్ పటేల్Rani Lakshmibaiరాణి లక్ష్మి భాయ్ Telugu Movies for Dumb Charades Consider adding recently released movies to your Dumb Charades game.

      Kalki 2898 AD Day 1 Collections: Increased Ticket Prices still missed to beat RRR.
      Kalki 2898 AD Day 1 Collections: Increased Ticket Prices still missed to beat RRR.
      The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' directed by Nag Ashwin and starring pan-India star Prabhas, was released worldwide on Thursday, June 27th, and is receiving rave reviews everywhere. With the positive talk coming from all sides, audiences are showing great enthusiasm for this movie. As 'Kalki' becomes a super hit, everyone's attention is now focused on its first-day collections. The film, a visual wonder in the mythology-futuristic genre, was estimated by trade circles to collect over ₹200 crores on its first day. Did 'Kalki' reach that mark? How did Prabhas' mania impact the box office? What all-time record did 'Kalki' create in the US? Let's find out in this review. Day 1 Collections All eyes are currently on the Day 1 collections of 'Kalki 2898 AD.' The production house, Vyjayanthi Movies, has officially announced the first day's earnings. The makers declared that 'Kalki' amassed ₹191.5 crores (GROSS) worldwide on its first day. They also released a special poster with the caption "Let's Celebrate Cinema." Initially, trade circles had predicted that 'Kalki' would collect over ₹200 crores on its first day, with analyses suggesting that all previous Day 1 records would be broken. However, 'Kalki' narrowly missed the ₹200 crore mark. Despite this, industry experts predict that 'Kalki' will surely join the ₹500 crore club by the end of this weekend. All-Time Record Prabhas' 'Kalki' is creating a sensation in North America. The local audience is impressed by the performances of Prabhas and other top stars. Consequently, 'Kalki' set an all-time record in North America. It garnered a whopping $3.8 million from North American premieres, the highest collection for an Indian film in that region. 'Kalki' has thus achieved the distinction of being the first Indian film to earn this much. Following 'Kalki' are 'RRR' ($3.46 million), 'Salaar' ($2.6 million), and 'Baahubali 2' ($2.45 million). Overseas Collections Combining premieres and first-day collections, trade circles report that 'Kalki' collected $5 million on its first day in America. Among Telugu films, 'Kalki' secured the 5th position for the highest collections in just one day. It also set a record as the fastest film to collect $5 million. If these collections continue, 'Kalki' is expected to set a benchmark overseas. Experts predict that the collections will increase further over the weekend. 'RRR' Record Safe! According to trade figures, 'Kalki 2898 AD' could not surpass the 'RRR' record. 'RRR' collected ₹223 crores (GROSS) on its first day, making it the top Indian film in terms of Day 1 collections. As per trade estimates, 'Kalki 2898 AD' halted at ₹180 crores, leaving the 'RRR' record intact. 'Baahubali 2' stands in second place with ₹217 crores. While 'Kalki' couldn't break these records, it surpassed the records of 'KGF 2' (₹164.5 crores), 'Salaar' (₹158 crores), 'Adipurush' (₹136.8 crores), and 'Saaho' (₹125.6 crores) to secure a place in the top three. Match Effect on Collections The 'Kalki 2898 AD' team lagged in promoting the film on a grand scale like 'Baahubali 2' and 'RRR.' If they had done extensive promotions, the movie might have created new records. The T20 World Cup also affected the film's collections. The audience's interest in watching the India-England semi-final match on Thursday evening turned into a slight disadvantage. Additionally, Thursday being a working day impacted 'Kalki's' collections. However, with positive talk everywhere, the collections of 'Kalki' are expected to increase significantly over the weekend. Top 10 Highest Opening Day Collections in India 1. RRR (2022)&nbsp; Directed by S.S. Rajamouli and starring Jr. NTR and Ram Charan, RRR set the record for the highest grossing film on its opening day, collecting Rs. 223.5 crores and sweeping all previous records. 2. Baahubali 2 (2017)&nbsp; Also directed by Rajamouli, 'Baahubali 2' is second on this list, with an opening day worldwide gross of Rs. 214.5 crores, holding the record for the highest Indian opening grosser for five years until RRR. 3. Salaar (2023)&nbsp; Featuring Prabhas under the direction of Prashant Neel, 'Salaar' collected Rs. 178.7 crores on its opening day, making it the highest-grossing film of 2023. Prabhas’s formidable presence was well received in action sequences, making 'Salaar' a fan favorite. 4. KGF 2 (2022)&nbsp; Directed by Prashant Neel and starring Yash, 'KGF 2' broke several box office records, becoming the third highest grossing film on its opening day with collections of Rs. 164.5 crores. 5. Adipurush (2023)&nbsp; Despite being a dud, 'Adipurush', directed by Om Raut and starring Prabhas as Ram and Kriti Sanon as Sita, managed good gross collections on its first day of Rs. 136.8 crores. 6. Jawan (2023)&nbsp; Starring Bollywood's Shah Rukh Khan and directed by prominent South Indian director Atlee, 'Jawan' collected Rs. 129.6 crores on its opening day, setting a record for the highest opening day collection in Hindi cinema history. 7. Saaho (2019)&nbsp; This action-packed film starring Prabhas and directed by Sujeeth, collected over Rs. 125.6 crores on its first day, confirming its blockbuster status. 8. Robo 2.0 (2018)&nbsp; Starring Rajinikanth and directed by Shankar, with Akshay Kumar as the villain, 'Robo 2.0' collected Rs. 105.6 crores on its opening day but couldn’t maintain its momentum later. 9. Pathaan (2023)&nbsp; Featuring Shah Rukh Khan, 'Pathaan' began the year with an opening day collection of Rs. 104.8 crores, giving Shah Rukh Khan a much-needed hit. 10. Jailer (2023)&nbsp; The latest movie starring Rajinikanth, 'Jailer' also set a record by collecting Rs. 91.2 crores on its first day, becoming the first Tamil film to achieve such high collections and overall grossing over Rs. 650 crores. The film is also performing well on OTT platforms.

He has been rapidly completing projects, offering double the entertainment to his fans. In 2023, he presented 'Adipurush' and 'Salaar' to his audience. This year, he has already entertained his fans with 'Kalki', and he is poised to appear in a cameo in 'Kannappa' this December. Looking ahead, he has three films lined up for 2025, and he is gearing up for 'Salaar 2' and a new project with Hanu Raghavapudi for 2026. While other leading actors like Tarak, Allu Arjun, and Ram Charan are planning their releases with more time in between, Prabhas is swiftly producing movies, especially pan-India films, which is astonishing to everyone in the industry. Prabhas races to lead! The makers have officially announced that Prabhas's upcoming film 'Raja Saab' will be a summer treat in 2025, releasing globally in five languages (Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi) on April 10. However, many major films have already entered the 2025 summer race. Naga Chaitanya's 'Thandel' and a multistarrer featuring Nagarjuna and Dhanush titled 'Kubera' are planned for next summer. Additionally, 'Toxic' starring Yash of 'KGF' fame and 'Sikandar' featuring Salman Khan are also targeting the summer of 2025. With Prabhas's film date locked, it's intriguing to see if these films will stick to their summer release plans or if they will adjust their schedules.

      Kalki 2898 AD Day 2 Collections
      Kalki 2898 AD Day 2 Collections
      The film "Kalki 2898 AD," directed by Nag Ashwin starring Prabhas, is successfully being showcased globally. Released in theaters worldwide on June 27, the film is creating a storm at the box office, with house-full boards lighting up across the country. On its opening day, the movie grossed a sensational Rs. 191.50 crores, drawing all eyes to its second-day performance. Let's now look at how it fared on the second day. How much did it collect on Day 2? Vyjayanthi Movies officially announced the second-day collections of "Kalki 2898 AD." After bagging Rs. 191.5 crores on the first day, the film managed to gather Rs. 298.5 crores (GROSS) worldwide over two days, as stated by the makers who also posted a special poster on social media to mark the occasion. According to the producers, "Kalki" continued its strong performance by adding another Rs. 107 crores (GROSS) on the second day. However, compared to the first day's collections, there was a significant drop of 80% in the revenues. This downturn has led to disappointment among Prabhas’s fans as the film failed to reach the anticipated Rs. 350 crores mark within the first two days, barely crossing Rs. 300 crores instead. First Day All-Time Record The film "Kalki" has created a sensation in North America, winning over audiences with the performances of Prabhas and other leading actors. In this region, "Kalki" set an all-time record by earning $3.8 million from the premieres on its opening day, marking the highest first-day collection ever achieved by an Indian film in North America. This milestone placed "Kalki" at the top, followed by "RRR" (which made $3.46 million), "Salaar" ($2.6 million), and "Baahubali 2" ($2.45 million) in the subsequent positions. RRR's Record Remains Safe! According to trade experts, "Kalki 2898 AD" could not surpass the record set by "RRR," which remains the top-grossing Indian film on day one with Rs. 223 crores (GROSS). "Kalki" ended its first day with Rs. 180 crores, failing to break the record held by "Baahubali 2," which is in second place with Rs. 217 crores. However, "Kalki" did surpass other major films like "KGF 2" (Rs. 164.5 crores), "Salaar" (Rs. 158 crores), "Adipurush" (Rs. 136.8 crores), and "Saaho" (Rs. 125.6 crores), securing its place in the top three. Impact of Match on Collections! The promotional efforts for "Kalki 2898 AD" fell short compared to films like "Baahubali 2" and "RRR." Greater promotional activities could have potentially led to new box office records. Additionally, the T-20 World Cup match between India and England on Thursday evening (June 27) diverted the audience’s attention, negatively impacting the film's collections on its opening day. The fact that it was a working day also affected the revenue. With the World Cup final scheduled for today (June 29), there's a possibility of further impacts on the movie's third-day collections.

      'Devara’ Breaks the 23-Year Rajamouli Sentiment: NTR’s Film Triumphs After RRR
      'Devara’ Breaks the 23-Year Rajamouli Sentiment: NTR’s Film Triumphs After RRR
      The latest film featuring the Man of the Masses, Tarak, titled 'Devara' has been released grandly today (September 27). Despite some mixed opinions, the film overall is being touted as a hit. The music by Anirudh is reportedly next level. Having shattered several records even before its release, the film is expected to achieve even more milestones, with fans confident about its success. Interestingly, it's said that Tarak has broken a flop record of Rajamouli that has been ongoing for 23 years, declared by none other than Rajamouli's son. Rajamouli’s Flop Sentiment! It’s a well-known fact that a film with director Rajamouli is a blockbuster. However, post a Rajamouli film, no hero until now has managed an immediate hit. Every hero has faced a box office disaster following their film with Rajamouli, a sentiment that started 23 years ago with Rajamouli’s first film 'Student No.1'. Following 'Student No.1' and 'Simhadri', Tarak faced major failures. Similarly, post 'Vikramarkudu' Ravi Teja, post 'Maryada Ramanna' Sunil, and post 'Eega' Nani all faced flops. After 'Baahubali 2', Prabhas, Rana, and Anushka also failed in their subsequent films. Naturally, there were apprehensions about 'Devara' following 'RRR' with Tarak. Breaking the 23-Year Record The flop sentiment with Rajamouli started with Tarak on September 27, 2001, with the release of 'Student No.1'. 23 years later, on the same day, 'Devara' was released and has garnered hit talk, thus ending the flop cycle that started on the same day with the same person 23 years ago. This has sparked a flurry of comments on social media that Tarak has shattered the bad sentiment linked with Rajamouli. Now, fans believe that no hero needs to worry about the Rajamouli flop sentiment anymore. Karthikeya’s Special Post Karthikeya, Rajamouli's son, also tweeted about this, "Finally, the 23-year myth has been broken. It ended on the same day it began with the same person. I grew up watching him closely, seeing his growth and success. Now I see the wonders he's performing. I am speechless at the contribution he’s making to Telugu cinema. This is a big gift he has given to the fans. Devara is the biggest mass celebration in cinema. Now, even the madness speaks. All hail the tiger," along with a photo taken with NTR. https://twitter.com/ssk1122/status/1839476779175567669 Rajamouli Watching Devara with Fans The buzz around 'Devara' is evident across theaters in the Telugu states. After nearly six years, NTR's solo movie has his fans ecstatic. Amid this festive atmosphere, Rajamouli watched the film. Accompanied by his family, he greeted movie enthusiasts at the Maithri Vimal theater in Balanagar and watched the film with them. Videos related to this are going viral online. Producer Dil Raju and director Anil Ravipudi watched the movie at Sriramulu theater. Meanwhile, in a theater in Chennai, music director Anirudh watched the movie with fans and charged up the atmosphere by singing the Fear song. https://twitter.com/ArtistryBuzz/status/1839517947548794958 https://twitter.com/AnirudhTrend/status/1839516079560802450

      Prabhas New Projects: Prabhas Keeps His Promise with Three Films Simultaneously on the Sets!
      Prabhas New Projects: Prabhas Keeps His Promise with Three Films Simultaneously on the Sets!
      Pan-India star Prabhas is making rapid strides with a series of films. With back-to-back hits, he stands unmatched in stature among national cinema stars. Having recently hit the ₹1200 crore mark with his project 'Kalki', Prabhas has once again proven his box office prowess. Moreover, he's on a roll announcing consecutive pan-India projects. Following a strategy once employed by superstar Krishna, he's fully focused on his films. Prabhas is set to keep his promise to fans by launching three films at once. Let's explore more about this in this special report. Prabhas' Promise! Prabhas has become synonymous with pan-India films. Every film he takes on escalates to a national project. Until 'Adipurush' (2023), Prabhas would spend at least two years on each film, a pattern that began with 'Baahubali' in 2015. There was a two-year gap between 'Baahubali' and 'Baahubali 2', and a three-year interval between 'Saaho' (2019) and 'Radhe Shyam' (2022), which initially disappointed fans. Frustrations grew over the gaps between his films. Understanding his fans' disappointment, Prabhas promised to release at least one film per year going forward. Keeping his word, he's been vigorously announcing new projects. Superstar Krishna’s Strategy! Prabhas is much more focused on his projects than before, ditching the consecutive project routine to adopt a strategy used by superstar Krishna, who used to work on three or more films simultaneously. Prabhas is now preparing to bring three projects to the sets simultaneously, following in Krishna's footsteps. Indeed, during 'Salaar', he also engaged in shooting 'Kalki 2898 AD', releasing both within a span of six months. Currently, Prabhas is working on 'Raja Saab' directed by Maruthi. He has also recently launched a new project with Hanu Raghavapudi and is planning to start 'Spirit' directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga by November. Prabhas is planning to participate in the shootings of these three films simultaneously and release each within a year. Additionally, there's potential to launch 'Salaar 2' and 'Kalki 2' next year. India’s No.1 Hero: Prabhas A recent July report by Bollywood media firm Ormax listed the most popular heroes, with Prabhas securing the number one position. Following Prabhas, Tamil star Vijay and Bollywood's Shah Rukh Khan filled the next top spots, with superstar Mahesh Babu and Junior NTR also featuring prominently. Prabhas has consistently topped these lists since May and June, much to the delight of fans and movie enthusiasts. Comments are flooding the internet celebrating Prabhas' ascension as the number one star, surpassing other Bollywood heroes.

      From Screen to Stream: 'Kalki 2898 AD' Sets Sights on OTT Debut
      The film 'Kalki 2898 AD', featuring Rebel Star Prabhas and director Nag Ashwin, has shaken the box office, garnering over ₹1100 crores globally. Since its release on June 27, this mythological science fiction movie has been breaking numerous records at the box office and continues to dominate theaters even after 50 days. Many are eagerly anticipating when 'Kalki' will be available on OTT. A recent update related to its streaming has come out, exciting the fans of Prabhas immensely. Is the OTT Date for Kalki Locked? It appears that Amazon Prime has secured the digital streaming rights for 'Kalki 2898 AD'. There is strong buzz that the film will be brought to streaming on August 23. However, it is rumored that the film will be slightly trimmed compared to the theatrical version, with about 6 minutes of footage potentially being cut. Official announcements regarding the OTT release and the runtime are expected soon. However, Prabhas' fans are expressing dissatisfaction with the decision to trim the runtime, questioning why scenes that were not in the theatrical version aren't being added instead. Prabhas Pushes Shah Rukh Back In 2024, 'Kalki 2898 AD' stood out as the biggest hit among all the releases so far, continuously setting new records and garnering immense popularity. It has reportedly collected over ₹760 crores across all languages nationwide, surpassing the all-time Indian collection record of Shah Rukh Khan's movie 'Jawan', which had collections amounting to ₹760 crores. Prior to 'Kalki', 'Jawan' held the fourth position in the list of highest-grossing Indian films. As per the latest collections, 'Kalki 2898 AD' now ranks as the fourth highest-grossing Indian film, following 'Baahubali 2', 'KGF 2', and 'RRR' in the top three spots. Looks Like No Kalki 2 Anytime Soon! With the blockbuster success of 'Kalki 2898 AD', anticipation is high for a sequel. Producer Ashwani Dutt previously hinted that 'Kalki 2' could be released around June or July next year, with 60% of the shooting already completed. However, recent buzz suggests that the remaining shooting might face delays due to Deepika Padukone, who is currently pregnant and due in September. Post-delivery, she plans to take at least a year's break from films, having already stepped back from a much-loved project by Rohit Shetty and a major Bollywood show. This indicates that Deepika might also be unavailable for 'Kalki 2's' shooting, potentially pushing its release to 2026 if this scenario unfolds. Prabhas in Full Swing! Currently, Prabhas has more pan-India films in his pipeline than any other star in the country. Any project with Prabhas isn't expected to start before 2026. Currently, he is working on 'Raja Saab' under the direction of Maruthi, which is progressing rapidly. He is also set to collaborate with Sandeep Reddy Vanga for a movie titled 'Spirit', and a sequel to 'Salaar' directed by Prashanth Neel is in the works post 'NTR 31'. Prabhas is also set to portray Lord Shiva in 'Kannappa' starring Manchu Vishnu, and has another project lined up with Hanu Raghavapudi. All these projects are likely to take at least two years to complete.

Interestingly, the rumored heroine Kareena Kapoor happens to be Saif Ali Khan’s wife, adding intrigue to the dynamics as the heroine’s husband will be seen as the villain. If true, this setup is expected to elevate the expectations from 'Spirit' to a new level. Police vs. Mafia Don! There is a strong buzz that Prabhas will perform dual roles in 'Spirit'. The script work is reportedly complete, and only the dialogues are left to finalize. According to the buzz, Prabhas will play both a police officer and a mafia don, with the don character having negative shades. If this turns out to be true, a blockbuster at the box office is assured. Additionally, a special poster is expected to be released on Prabhas' birthday on October 10, and the film is set to go on floors by January 25 next year. Prabhas has previously played dual roles in three films. His first dual role was in 'Billa', followed by 'Baahubali' and 'Baahubali 2'. Recently, there has been talk that Prabhas will also appear in dual roles in the upcoming 'Raja Saab'. How Many Crores for Spirit's Budget? Any film with Pan-India Rebel Star Prabhas is a guaranteed blockbuster at the box office, prompting producers to confidently invest in his projects. Producers are not shying away from allocating massive budgets for Prabhas’ films, which are often produced with hundreds of crores. In line with this, there is talk circulating online about the budget for Sandeep Reddy Vanga's directorial 'Spirit', produced in collaboration with Bollywood production house T-Series. This film is anticipated to have a budget of Rs. 500 crores, positioning it as one of the most expensive undertakings in Prabhas’ career. After 'Adipurush' with a budget of Rs. 700 crores and the recently released 'Kalki' at Rs. 600 crores, 'Spirit' is set to be the third most expensive film in his career.

      As Predicted by YouSay,  Prabhas's 'Kalki 2898 AD' Breaks ₹1000 Crore Barrier in Just 15 Days
      Rebel star Prabhas, directed by Nag Ashwin, has unleashed a box office storm with 'Kalki 2898 AD'. Although it was released just 15 days ago, the film's earnings continue to soar, breaking new global records. The excitement around Prabhas's latest film is palpable. Recently, Vyjayanthi Movies, the production company, officially announced that 'Kalki' has surpassed the ₹1000 crore mark. This raises questions about which other films have achieved this milestone and how 'Kalki' compares to them. We will explore these aspects in this special report. How much did the collections amount to in 15 days? The film 'Kalki 2898 AD' has been successfully running in theaters for 15 days. The production company Vyjayanthi Movies has officially announced the collections so far. The Kalki movie has grossed over ₹1000 crores in these 15 days. A special poster was released on this occasion, showcasing Prabhas in a Karna avatar targeting the ₹1000 crore mark. This poster is currently captivating netizens. Fans are reiterating Prabhas's prowess once again. https://twitter.com/Kalki2898AD/status/1812023448681750927 Prabhas, the Unique South Hero Through 'Kalki 2898 AD', hero Prabhas has set a record. He is the only South Indian hero to have joined the ₹1000 crore club twice. Prabhas first joined this club with 'Baahubali 2'. Although it was anticipated that he would touch ₹1000 crores again with 'Salaar', it stalled around ₹705–715 crores. However, with Kalki, he has achieved this feat for the second time. With collections exceeding ₹1000 crores, he has proven himself unstoppable at the box office, thereby equalling Bollywood's Shahrukh Khan's record. Currently, these two stars are the only ones to have placed their films in the ₹1000 crore club twice, with Shahrukh doing so with 'Jawan' and 'Pathaan'. Soon Into the Top-3 With the latest collections, Kalki has placed seventh in the list of films with the highest gross in Indian cinema history. 'Dangal', starring Aamir Khan, continues to lead with ₹2,023 crores. Prabhas's own 'Baahubali 2' holds second place with ₹1,810 crores. 'RRR' with ₹1,387 crores, 'KGF 2' with ₹1,200–1,250 crores, 'Jawan' with ₹1,148 crores, and 'Pathaan' with ₹1,050 crores follow in subsequent positions. However, with Kalki joining the ₹1000 crore club within just two weeks, it is poised to break more records in the coming days and easily move into the third position, giving a tough time to the films currently in third, fourth, and fifth places. How Much Did Day 1 Collections Bring In? All eyes are currently on the Day 1 collections of the 'Kalki 2898 AD' movie. Vyjayanthi Movies, the production company, has officially announced the first day's earnings. 'Kalki' grossed ₹191.5 crores worldwide on its first day. A special poster was also released with the caption 'Let's Celebrate Cinema'. Initially, trade circles predicted that Kalki would gross over ₹200 crores on its first day. However, the film narrowly missed the ₹200 crore mark. How Much Did the First Weekend Yield? Directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, the movie 'Kalki 2898 AD' grossed ₹555 crores worldwide in its first weekend. A special poster featuring major stars such as Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone, along with the lead, was posted last week by the production company. The caption read, 'Dominating the global box office with no signs of slowing down'. https://twitter.com/VyjayanthiFilms/status/1807678411529506945

      Diverse and Bold: Young Telugu Heroes Redefining Cinema with Unique Script Choices
      Telugu cinema's young heroes are being particularly careful with their choice of scripts, showing interest only if the story offers something new. Otherwise, they unhesitatingly reject routine stories, setting an example that even veterans like Nagarjuna, Venkatesh, Ravi Teja, Ram Pothineni, Nithiin, and Gopichand could take note of. Young actor Suhas is soon to appear in a unique story titled 'Gorre Puranam'. This backdrop has reignited discussions about the innovative subjects young heroes are choosing. Who are these young heroes bringing new stories to life? What movies have they done? Let's delve into this special report. Suhas Starting with minor roles in the industry, Suhas became famous almost overnight with the movie 'Colour Photo'. Building on the fame from his short films, he seized opportunities in cinema. He earned good recognition from the audience by acting in diverse films like 'Writer Padmabhushan', 'Ambajipeta Marriage Band', 'Sriranga Neethulu', and 'Prasanna Vadanam'. Moreover, he made an impact as a villain in the movie 'HIT 2'. Recently, he's gearing up to present another novel subject with 'Gorrepuranam', releasing this Friday (September 20). Teja Sajja Starting as a child actor, Teja Sajja transitioned to a lead role with 'Zombie Reddy'. Despite his first film establishing him as hero material, subsequent diverse films like 'Ishq' and 'Adbhutham' did not earn much fame. However, he achieved a solid hit nationally with 'Hanuman', directed by Prasanth Varma. This success resonated well, enhancing Teja Sajja's reputation. Currently, he's involved in another pan-India film titled 'Miraya', where Manchu Manoj plays the villain. The already released teaser of 'Miraya' has raised expectations. Nikhil Siddhartha Nikhil Siddhartha grabbed everyone’s attention with 'Happy Days'. Post that film, he continued to captivate the youth with solo hero films. His journey includes significant roles in films like 'Swamy Ra Ra', 'Karthikeya', 'Surya vs Surya', 'Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada', and 'Karthikeya 2', establishing him as a reliable hero. Currently, he's part of the historical film 'Swayambhu', produced by Ram Charan, and also 'Karthikeya 3' is in his lineup. Vishwak Sen Vishwak Sen, known among the youth as a mass hero, has been careful to ensure diversity in his films from the start. His initial movie 'Vellipomakey' didn't make a big splash, but 'Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi' brought him significant youth following. Following that, 'Falaknuma Das', a mass action drama, secured another success. His roles in 'HIT', 'Paagal', 'Ashoka Vanamlo Arjuna Kalyanam', 'Ori Devuda', 'Das Ka Dhamki', 'Gaami', and 'Gangs of Godavari' further cemented his status as a star in Telugu cinema. Currently, he's involved in 'Mechanic Rocky' and 'Laila', where his appearance in a lady getup in 'Laila' is noteworthy. Adivi Sesh Adivi Sesh initially appeared in a minor role in the movie 'Sontham' led by Aryan Rajesh. His breakout role as a hero was in 'Karma'. He gained recognition as a villain in Pawan Kalyan’s 'Panjaa'. With important roles in 'Run Raja Run', 'Baahubali', and a series of diverse films like 'Kshanam', 'Goodachari', 'Evaru', 'Major', and 'HIT 2', Adivi Sesh transformed into a reputable hero. Especially with 'Major', his market reach significantly expanded. He's currently working on the sequel to 'Goodachari', expected to be a pan-India release, poised to further boost his career if successful. Siddhu Jonnalagadda Starting with a role in Naga Chaitanya’s debut 'Josh', Siddhu Jonnalagadda didn't see much career growth despite diverse roles in movies like 'Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu', 'Orange', and 'Guntur Talkies'. However, he struck blockbuster success with 'DJ Tillu', and its sequel continued this trend. The sequel, 'Tillu Square', notably grossed ₹135 crore. He is currently acting in 'Jack' and 'Telusu Kada', with 'Tillu Cube' also in the pipeline. Narne Nithiin Junior NTR’s brother-in-law, Narne Nithiin made his debut with the youthful entertainer 'MAD', which was a success at the box office and connected well with the youth due to its college backdrop. His subsequent film 'Aay', set in a village backdrop, showcased his diversity and was also successful. After a subdued presence in 'MAD', Nithiin’s performance in 'Aay' was much improved, excelling in acting, dance, and comedy, and effectively conveying emotions.

He has surprised everyone in the past by making reels of various dialogues and songs related to Telugu movies. Videos of him imitating heroes like Allu Arjun, Prabhas, and Mahesh Babu had become trending on social media previously.

Netizens speculate that this look is from 'Pushpa 2'. However, there's no confirmation from the makers of 'Pushpa 2' yet, but Warner's fans are hoping this news is true. https://twitter.com/AuTelugu_Films/status/1837406285702074497 Sukumar's Plan? David Warner has a special connection with 'Pushpa' (Pushpa: The Rise), starring Icon Star Allu Arjun. The song 'Srivalli' from this movie was a huge hit across India, and Warner had also made reels to it which went viral back then. Moreover, Warner had repeatedly mimicked Allu Arjun's signature style on the field, endearing him to the Telugu audience.

Warner reciprocated by dancing to Telugu songs and quoting movie dialogues in his reels, thus becoming closer to the Telugu folks. He has often expressed his love for Hyderabad and its people, mentioning how much he misses Hyderabad. Many are hoping that Sunrisers Hyderabad will pick Warner again in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Ad Shoot with Rajamouli For a popular payments app CRED, Rajamouli and David Warner once acted together in a humorous ad. In the opening of the ad, Rajamouli asks Warner what needs to be done to get discounts on match tickets. Warner replies, "Raja sir.. if you have the CRED UPI app, you get cashback." Rajamouli responds, asking if it wouldn’t work with a normal UPI app, prompting Warner to ask for a favor to act in his movie, wondering what it would be like if Warner truly starred as a hero in his film. Imagining Warner in a Baahubali-like getup causing mischief and performing dance steps and dialogues, Rajamouli is momentarily frightened. This ad had gone extremely viral at the time.

      Devara Movie Review: : Jr. NTR’s Stellar Acting Overshadowed by an Uneven Narrative
      Devara Movie Review: : Jr. NTR’s Stellar Acting Overshadowed by an Uneven Narrative
      Cast: NTR, Janhvi Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Shruti Marathe, Prakash Raj, Srikanth, Shine Tom Chacko, and others. Written and Directed by: Koratala Siva Music by: Anirudh Ravichander Cinematography by: R. Rathnavelu Editing by: A. Sreekar Prasad Produced by: Sudhakar Mikkilineni, Kosaraju Harikrishna, Nandamuri Kalyan Ram Release Date: September 27, 2024 NTR stars in an action drama 'Devara', directed by Koratala Siva, with Janhvi Kapoor as the heroine. NTR returns to dual roles after many years, portraying the characters of Devara and Vara. The promotional materials already released have heightened expectations. Saif Ali Khan plays the antagonist, with significant roles being filled by Prakash Raj, Srikanth, and Shine Tom Chacko. The movie has completed all its schedules and released worldwide on September 27. But how is the film? Does it meet the expectations? Has it impressed the audience or not? Let's find out in this review. The Story Located on a hill at the border between Andhra and Tamil Nadu are four villages collectively known as the Red Sea. Here, Devara (NTR) along with Bhairava (Saif Ali Khan), Rayappa (Srikanth), and Kunjara (Shine Tom Chacko) serve as the heads of each village. Their job involves smuggling goods through the sea to Murugan (Murali Sharma) without getting caught by authorities. However, realizing the damage caused, Devara decides to put an end to their smuggling activities. Bhairava disagrees, sparking a conflict between them. Devara instills deep fear in everyone. Bhairava then plans to kill Devara. Does his plan succeed? What pivotal decision does Devara make to stop the smuggling? Why does his son Vara (NTR) become fearful? Who kills Bhairava's men trying to enter the sea? How does Vara's romance with Thangam (Janhvi Kapoor) develop? What is Devara’s connection with gangster Yathi? Watch the movie to know. Performances There's no need to specifically mention Tarak's acting; he immerses himself in any role he takes. In this movie, too, he impresses as both Devara and Vara, bringing variations that captivate the audience. He reaffirms his prowess in action scenes and dazzles in dance sequences. Janhvi Kapoor, making her Tollywood debut, fits perfectly as the village girl Thangam, appearing authentic as a Telugu girl, though her screen time is brief. Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan captivates as the villain, making a strong impact in a role that competes with Tarak's. Srikanth, Prakash Raj, Ajay, Murali Sharma, Shruti, and others play significant roles, with other actors performing well within their limits. Direction Director Koratala Siva creates a new world named 'Red Sea' and attempts to weave drama and emotions in his unique style. The first half unfolds the story of the Red Sea, the characters Devara and Bhaira, their transformation into smugglers, their conflicts, songs, and the terror Devara instills, all showcased effectively by Koratala. The interval bang is also excellently planned. While the first half revolves around Devara, the second half introduces Vara. The entry of the second NTR is well-executed, but the story seems stretched afterwards. Janhvi Kapoor’s scenes feel forced, except for a song, and the rest seem tedious. The pre-climax action scenes inside the sea are spectacular, but the climax, while engaging, reminds one of the movie Baahubali. Koratala sets up for a part two, ending Devara's story. However, the second part lacks the impact of the first, with a weak love track, dragged scenes, predictable narrative, and missing the typical Koratala mark being the downsides. Technically On the technical front, all departments have performed well. Anirudh's background music is another major strength of the movie, enhancing the film with his distinctive BGM. The songs are good, with 'Chuttammalle' likely to generate whistles in theatres. Rathnavelu's cinematography is excellent, richly presenting each scene. Editing is decent. The production values are high, sparing no expense. Plus Points - NTR's performance - First half - Cinematography - Music Minus Points - Second part - Weak love track Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 3/5 Devara Public Talk: What Are Netizens Saying? Viewers who have watched 'Devara' are expressing their opinions on Twitter. There's a shower of praise for Tarak's acting and the action sequences. Particularly, the songs and background music provided by Anirudh have been outstanding, as per the comments. At the same time, there are some negative posts also appearing about 'Devara'. Let's take a look at them. One netizen commented that NTR's performance in 'Devara' is outstanding. He posted that 'Devara' would appeal to audiences from all segments. https://twitter.com/vamsikaka/status/1839539465427263788 Netizens are saying that the background music Anirudh provided for 'Devara' is next level. One netizen's post directed at Anirudh, saying "What a beat, man!" is going viral. https://twitter.com/NaveenKRaju22/status/1839415238132924882? Another netizen posted that theaters are packed because of 'Devara'. He commented that the first half is fantastic.. the second half is superb.. and the BGM is high-voltage. https://twitter.com/Keerthan0712/status/1839544841291825305 Another netizen posted that the first part of 'Devara' is very good. However, he mentioned that the second part is quite predictable but overall, 'Devara' is satisfying. https://twitter.com/venkyreviews/status/1839437743883178036 One netizen expressed deep disappointment with the film 'Devara', stating it failed to meet expectations. He questioned why Janhvi was chosen as the heroine, indicating it was a puzzling decision. https://twitter.com/Fukkard/status/1839446863818162549 Devara Public Talk

His high praise for the film prior to its making has generated significant buzz online. Let's explore what Varma had to say. 'Baap of All' Director Ram Gopal Varma, who has become synonymous with controversies, recently made headlines again during an interview. He lavished praise on the upcoming Mahesh-Rajamouli film, proclaiming 'SSMB29' as the 'Baap of All'. Varma highlighted that Rajamouli has put significant effort into this film following 'RRR'. He confidently stated that the film would exceed all expectations. His comments have gone viral on social media, extensively shared by Mahesh’s fans. https://twitter.com/i/status/1815971837337297111 Luxury Life Beyond Rajamouli: RGV Varma also praised director Rajamouli, mentioning that even Bollywood films couldn’t match the collections of 'Baahubali'. He stated, “Rajamouli's success isn’t just about Telugu cinema; it's all about him. Perhaps he would have made the same impact no matter where he was born. The action sequences in 'RRR' are incredibly unique. It's because of 'RRR' that many countries learned about Indian cinema. No matter how big a hit his films are, Rajamouli doesn’t boast. I lead a more luxurious life than Rajamouli.” These comments by RGV have also trended on social media. Regarding Hardik Pandya’s Divorce... Recently, the news about Hardik Pandya and Natasha Stankovic's divorce was announced. Varma responded in his unique style, stating, "If marriages are decided in hell, divorces are decided in heaven. It’s better to hire a nurse for care than to marry. Divorce cases are increasingly becoming common. It’s foolish for poor people to spend money on this. If love blinds you, marriage will surely open your eyes." These posts too went viral on social media. https://twitter.com/RGVzoomin/status/1814612480649535830 https://twitter.com/RGVzoomin/status/1814614163593044241 https://twitter.com/RGVzoomin/status/1814615965612863618 In September On the Sets! Pre-production work for 'SSMB29' is near to completion, and the remaining tasks are expected to be finished soon, with plans to start shooting in September. Recently, there have been rumors online that Mahesh will play dual roles in the film, one of which includes negative shades. Mahesh has never played a double role or a character with negative shades in any of his previous 28 films, making this update particularly intriguing to his fans. The truth of these rumors needs to be confirmed by Rajamouli’s team.

He sets conditions for his heroes to ensure their looks are not revealed during the shooting. This was followed by Prabhas, Ram Charan, and Tarak during the shoots of 'Baahubali' and 'RRR'. However, Mahesh has been freely posing for cameras at various events, revealing his makeover in one form or another. But this freedom might be because this look isn’t the final one. Once the real look is finalized, there’s a chance Mahesh will be more cautious about not being exposed. Rajamouli’s Master Plan! For the upcoming film 'SSMB29' starring Mahesh Babu, director Rajamouli has decided to proceed with a new strategy. Typically, Rajamouli's movies involve significant VFX work, requiring simultaneous progress with the shooting. To address this, he has planned to shoot VFX-heavy scenes first and has already begun pre-production works. These scenes will be handed over to VFX companies in advance, and Rajamouli will then focus on the remaining shooting. This approach will allow both VFX work and shooting to be completed concurrently, speeding up the film's completion, which is making the fans extremely happy. Answering the Critics SS Rajamouli holds a top spot among India’s most esteemed directors. However, he has been critiqued lately for taking three to four years to release a film. Throughout his 23-year career, he has only released 12 films. His decision regarding VFX work is seen as a strategic move by the film industry. This could potentially allow for the film to be released within a couple of years. Estimates suggest that 'SSMB 29' could hit the screens by the end of 2026, even if it starts rolling next year.
