In Tollywood, some pairings create a strong fan base. One such duo is Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and the beautiful Pooja Hegde. Their combo in the movie 'Oka Laila Kosam' captured the audience's attention well, and there were rave reviews about their chemistry. However, they haven't acted together since then. To date, no other films featuring this duo have been released. But there's strong buzz that this pair will be acting together again soon. Akkineni fans are eagerly waiting to see them together on screen once more.



With the Director of Virupaksha...



The film 'Virupaksha' starring Sai Dharam Tej created a sensation in Tollywood, and the director Karthik Varma Dandu received widespread acclaim. Now, there's talk that Naga Chaitanya is set to do a movie with this director. Film circles are discussing that this will be a supernatural thriller. It's reported that Pooja Hegde is being considered for the heroine role. Director Karthik Varma is expected to meet her soon to narrate the story. The film team is hopeful that she will agree to star opposite Chaitu. The movie announcement is likely to include the names of the hero and heroine. However, netizens are humorously commenting that the romance might be slightly awkward since Pooja is taller than Naga Chaitanya.







Pooja Hegde's Future Projects



For the past three years, things haven't been going well for Pooja Hegde. Starting with 'Radhe Shyam' with Prabhas, her series of flops continued with 'Beast,' 'Acharya,' 'Circus,' and 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.' After taking a break from films, she spent quality time with her family. Meanwhile, makers also sidelined her for a while. However, she recently started receiving new offers. She has secured roles in the movies 'Deva,' 'Surya 44,' and 'Thalapathy 69.' If the project with Chaitu goes ahead, it will be her first Telugu film after 'Acharya.'







Chaitu Coming with 'Thandel'



Currently, Akkineni Naga Chaitanya is acting in the film 'Thandel.' Sai Pallavi is starring alongside him. This is their second film together after the blockbuster 'Love Story,' so expectations are high for 'Thandel.' In this film, Naga Chaitanya will be seen as a fisherman. Currently, all his hopes are pinned on this movie. His recent films 'Bangarraju,' 'Thank You,' 'Laal Singh Chaddha,' and last year's 'Custody' were not successful at the box office. Thus, he is determined to achieve success with 'Thandel.' The movie is scheduled to release on February 7, 2025. It is being produced by Bunny Vas under the GA 2 Pictures banner, presented by Allu Aravind. Geetha Arts previously produced '100% Love' with Naga Chaitanya as the hero.







Chai - Sobhita Wedding in December!



After his divorce from Samantha, Tollywood star Akkineni Naga Chaitanya is set to marry actress Sobhita Dhulipala. The wedding is scheduled to take place on December 4. The festivities will begin with the Sangeet on December 2, Mehendi on December 3, and the wedding on December 4. A grand reception is also planned for December 10. The wedding will take place at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. Preparations at Annapurna Studios have already begun, with ongoing setting and decoration work. It's known that only a few people will be invited to the wedding, but the reception will include family, friends, and notable figures from the cinema and political spheres.






Naga Chaitanya and Pooja Hegde Reunite? Fans Buzzing About Their Next Blockbuster!


Tollywood has released countless films throughout its history. Naturally, not all of these films achieve blockbuster status. Audience responses can be mixed—while some movies become hits, others do not fare as well. The films we're going to discuss next, however, were particularly flops. Reports indicate that audiences walked out of the theaters before these movies even reached the halfway mark. Let's take a look at these films.

Extra Ordinary Man



From the day of its release, the recent film featuring Nithiin and Sreeleela , 'Extra Ordinary Man', encountered heavy criticism and trolling on social media. Critics admitted struggling to watch it even until the interval. Viewers were puzzled by the protagonist's actions, which seemed entirely controlled by the villain. 'Extra Ordinary Man' quickly became one of the most trolled films in Nithiin's career.







Shaakuntalam



'Shaakuntalam', starring Samantha, arrived with high expectations, being her first venture into mythological cinema, and the promotional content had amplified these anticipations. However, the reception took a downturn after its release. Critics believed Samantha was not well-suited for the role of Shaakuntala, and pointed out issues with the dubbing. Online commenters also noted that the film was difficult to watch even through the first half.







Radhe Shyam



'Radhe Shyam', featuring Prabhas and Pooja Hegde, fell short of audience expectations. Although Prabhas's dashing vintage appearance had raised hopes, the film's blend of astrology and romance failed to connect with viewers. Social media was a buzz with comments from fans who felt bored within the first hour and many reported leaving the theater at the interval.







World Famous Lover



The film 'World Famous Lover', featuring Vijay Deverakonda with heroines Raashii Khanna, Aishwarya Rajesh, Catherine, and Izabelle, began facing trolls from its release. Critics targeted the movie for its focus solely on romance, lacking a substantial plot. Some netizens harshly commented that Vijay might be better suited for adult films. Social media posts reflected anticipation for the interval, with viewers eager to exit the theater.







Brahmotsavam



'Brahmotsavam' is often cited as a significant disappointment in Mahesh Babu's career, leaving a lasting mark, as per his fans. Despite featuring a star-studded ensemble including Kajal Aggarwal, Samantha, and Pranitha, along with Satyaraj, Jayasudha, Revathi, Tulasi, and Rao Ramesh, the film did not engage audiences. Trolling started from the very first showing on its release day, with even Mahesh Babu's own fans admitting they walked out halfway through the movie.







Son Of India



'Son Of India', featuring the veteran actor Manchu Mohan Babu, encountered significant negativity even before its release. Notably, only two tickets were sold for the first show on opening day at one theater, an incident that quickly went viral on social media, with speculations that even those tickets might have been purchased by the Manchu family themselves. The few who did watch the film gave it negative reviews, resulting in its rapid withdrawal from theaters. It is considered the biggest disaster in Mohan Babu's career.







Vinaya Vidheya Rama



'Vinaya Vidheya Rama', a film by Ram Charan and director Boyapati Srinu, faced widespread criticism from its first showing. People took to social media to label the film as extremely poor and expressed eagerness for the interval so they could leave. Audiences found certain scenes, like Ram Charan standing on a moving train to Bihar or him beheading the villain's henchmen and carrying their heads, hard to accept.







Liger



'Liger', another disaster in Vijay Deverakonda's career, was directed by Puri Jagannadh and released on a Pan-India scale, only to receive a flop response. Interest in the film faded within the first hour of its release, leading to a flood of posts on the internet. Critics questioned why Vijay put so much effort into a role that ultimately did not seem to fit him well.







Sakthi



When you think of disasters in Telugu cinema, 'Sakthi' is often the first film that comes to mind. Its director, Meher Ramesh, is still playfully criticized by NTR fans. Viewers questioned how Tarak (NTR ) agreed to the script after just the first show. Criticisms also targeted the flashback scenes, noting that Tarak's look was completely unsuitable. The same director's film 'Shadow' with Venkatesh also ended up as a disaster. Interestingly, 'Shakthi' was still being mentioned during the release of Meher Ramesh's recent film 'Bhola Shankar'.







Saleem



'Saleem', featuring Manchu Vishnu and Ileana D'Cruz, stands out as one of the notable failures in Telugu cinema. Manchu Vishnu notably slimmed down for his role in the film. Critics remarked that the movie appeared to be a jumble of four to five different film scripts combined. Comments indicated that the film turned dull before even reaching the midpoint of the first part.






Exclusive: The Top Telugu Movie Flops That Had Audiences Leaving Before the Interval in Recent Times.


Directed by Koratala Siva and featuring Jr NTR as the hero, the film 'Devara: Part 1' is creating a storm at the box office. Despite being released 18 days ago, the film's momentum hasn't slowed down. It broke even in all areas shortly after release and continues to perform strongly. Even though there was some negative talk on the first day, it did not impact the collections. Having already set several records, the film recently achieved another milestone by surpassing the record set by Rajamouli’s 'RRR'. Moreover, it accomplished a feat that even global star Prabhas hasn’t achieved yet.



A New Chapter in Telugu Cinema!



The film 'Devara', starring Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor, has set another box office record. In 18 days since its release, it has consistently brought in more than a crore each day in AP and Telangana. This film has become the first Telugu film post-COVID to achieve such a feat, a record previously held by 'RRR' for 17 consecutive days of similar earnings. Now, Jr NTR's impact has broken that record. Reports suggest that even Prabhas' recent films (Radhe Shyam, Adipurush, Salaar, Kalki 2898 AD) did not achieve this milestone, highlighting Tarak’s strong pull at the box office.




https://twitter.com/AndhraBoxOffice/status/1846039904913863146




How Much Did Devara Collect?



The film 'Devara' grossed ₹509 crores worldwide in just the first 16 days, as officially announced by the makers. Adding the collections of the last two days, it is expected to reach ₹520 crores. The combined gross for AP and Telangana has been ₹222.60 crores. Karnataka contributed ₹17.70 crores, Tamil Nadu ₹4.13 crores, Kerala ₹97 lakhs, and Hindi + Rest of India ₹33.55 crores. If the trend continues, reaching ₹550 crores seems easily feasible. It remains to be seen how far this film will go in the long run.







Has the Streaming Date Been Set?



Netflix has acquired the digital streaming rights to 'Devara' for a substantial amount. With 18 days past since the film’s theatrical release, everyone is eagerly awaiting its OTT release. The latest buzz suggests that 'Devara' might hit OTT as a Diwali treat. An official announcement is expected soon. If it doesn’t happen by Diwali, the release is likely in the second week of November. Netflix secured the rights for ₹150 crores, with a contract to stream the movie 50 days post-theatrical release.







'NTR 31' Loading!



Following the blockbuster success of 'Devara: Part 1', it is known that Jr NTR will collaborate with Prashanth Neel in the upcoming 'NTR 31'. Initially expected as a sequel, Prashanth Neel has decided to make 'NTR 31' a single part film, surprising everyone. Tarak will reportedly play a farmer from Bangladesh, with the entire story set against a Bangladeshi backdrop. The heroine has also been confirmed for this movie, with Kannada beauty Rukmini Vasanth set to star opposite Jr NTR. She is currently working with Nikhil in 'Appudo Ippudo Eppudo'.






'Devara' Sets a New Record, Surpassing 'RRR' at the Box Office – Jr NTR’s Reign Continues!


Jr. NTR's latest film 'Devara' has achieved remarkable success at the box office, raking in ₹300 crores in just the first three days and is now swiftly marching towards the ₹500 crore club. In this film, Tarak is paired with Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor, while Saif Ali Khan plays the antagonist. 'Devara' has brought several intriguing aspects of Tarak's capabilities to the forefront, providing him a victory that even a global star like Prabhas has not achieved. Once again, Tarak has proven to be a boon for directors who have previously experienced flops.



Hits with Flop Directors!



It can be said that Jr. NTR has become a savior for Tollywood directors who have previously faced failures. Directors who lost their fame due to massive disasters have seen their fortunes revive when teaming up with Tarak. This was recently proven with 'Devara' as well. Director Koratala Siva, who faced criticism with the disaster of 'Acharya', achieved solid success with Tarak in 'Devara'. Tarak has also revived the careers of directors like Puri Jagannadh with 'Temper' after his series of flops, Sukumar with 'Nannaku Prematho' after the failure of '1: Nenokkadine', and Bobby with 'Jai Lava Kusa' after a flop with Ravi Teja. He also brought Trivikram back from the brink after the disaster of 'Agnyaathavaasi' with 'Aravinda Sametha'. In this way, Tarak continues to create new records by turning flop directors into hit-makers.







The Only Unbeaten Hero: Tarak



In any hero's career, hits and flops are common. Even big star heroes cannot guarantee that every film will be embraced by the audience. Even global star Prabhas faced flops with films like 'Saaho', 'Radhe Shyam', and 'Adipurush' following 'Baahubali'. However, Tarak has been unstoppable in the industry without a single flop over the last nine years. His last seven films have been blockbusters at the box office, including 'Temper', 'Nannaku Prematho', 'Janatha Garage', 'Jai Lava Kusa', 'Aravinda Sametha', 'RRR', and 'Devara'. Tarak stands out as the only hero of his generation to achieve this feat. With big upcoming projects like 'Devara 2', 'NTR 31' with Prashanth Neel, and a rumored film with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Tarak's winning streak looks set to continue.







Breaking a 23-Year-Old Flop Record



It is well-known that a film with director SS Rajamouli is bound to be a blockbuster. However, no hero has managed to hit immediately following a film with Rajamouli. But with 'Devara', Tarak has broken this flop sentiment. After 'RRR' with Rajamouli, Tarak immediately achieved a solid victory with 'Devara'. Interestingly, Tarak, who kick-started this flop sentiment with Rajamouli's first film 'Student No.1', has himself broken it exactly 23 years after the release of 'Student No.1'.







Tarak in the Role of a Farmer!



Under the direction of Prashanth Neel, the upcoming project 'NTR 31', produced by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, is generating buzz in Tollywood. Rumored to be a periodic action drama, the film is said to be set in Bangladesh and will portray Tarak as a young farmer who becomes embroiled in unexpected events, fighting for the locals. The film will reportedly showcase Tarak in two different variations, promising a next-level character portrayal and performance different from his previous roles.







Rashmika as the Heroine?



Director Prashanth Neel is currently busy with the pre-production work for 'NTR 31', focusing on casting the main roles. Reports suggest that Rashmika Mandanna is being considered to star opposite Tarak, which would mark their first film together if confirmed. 'NTR 31' is planned for release as a Sankranthi gift in 2026, with shooting expected to start soon. The music for the movie will be composed by Ravi Basrur, with cinematography handled by Bhuvan Gowda.






Jr. NTR's 'Devara' Shatters Records: A ₹300 Crore Triumph in 3 Days, Tarak Breaks a 23-Year-Old Flop Streak


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.






Prabhas New Projects: Prabhas Keeps His Promise with Three Films Simultaneously on the Sets!


There's just a week left until the release of Tarak's latest film 'Devara', and it’s the talk of the town. Matching the buzz, the movie team is also intensively promoting it, creating substantial hype. Reports suggest that 'Devara' has achieved record-breaking pre-release business, marking unprecedented theatrical business in NTR's career. How much is 'Devara's pre-release business? What is the break-even target? What are the top-10 Telugu films that have done the highest pre-release business so far? Let’s find out about this special feature.

How much is Devara's pre-release business?



Directed by Koratala Siva and starring NTR, 'Devara' reportedly saw massive pre-release business. The theatrical rights alone are said to have been sold for Rs. 185 crores. In the two Telugu states, the rights went for Rs. 115 crores. It's reported that 'Devara' fetched Rs. 45 crores in the Nizam area alone. In Ceded, the business is said to be around Rs. 22 crores. Karnataka witnessed a business of Rs. 15 crores, Tamil Nadu Rs. 6 crores, and Kerala Rs. 50 lakhs. In the US, it’s Rs. 26 crores and in the Hindi belt, Rs. 15 crores, totaling Rs. 185 crores in all areas combined. To break even, 'Devara' needs to recover Rs. 200 crores.







Star Directors as Chief Guests!



Grand arrangements are being made for the pre-release event of 'Devara', scheduled for the 22nd of this month in Hyderabad. According to the latest buzz, three star directors are expected to attend the event. Directors Rajamouli, Prashanth Neel, and Trivikram are said to be participating. There’s also a chance that superstar Mahesh Babu will attend. However, clarity on this is awaited. Amidst criticisms that the team focused more on promotions in the north, inviting these star directors and Mahesh as a guest seems to be a strategy to counteract these criticisms.







Top Movies in Pre-release Business



Previously, only Bollywood and Hollywood films were thought capable of huge pre-release business, but director Rajamouli changed that perception entirely for Tollywood. Telugu films have now demonstrated their capability by conducting pre-release business north of Rs. 350 crores. Let’s look at the top-10 Telugu films with the highest pre-release business:







RRR 



Directed by SS Rajamouli and starring NTR and Ram Charan, this movie topped the charts with the highest pre-release business among Telugu films.

It did business of Rs. 180 crores in the Telugu states, Rs. 70 crores overseas, and Rs. 85 crores in the Hindi market. It grossed over Rs. 1200 crores worldwide.







Baahubali 2

Post-Baahubali, Prabhas starred in 'Saaho', directed by Sujeeth, which made waves with its pre-release business of Rs. 280 crores. It notably made Rs. 120 crores in North India alone.







Adipurush&nbsp;



Directed by Om Raut and featuring Prabhas, this mythological film based on the Ramayana, with Kriti Sanon as Sita, drew significant expectations and did pre-release business over Rs. 240 crores.







Radhe Shyam



Directed by Radha Krishna Kumar and starring Prabhas and Pooja Hegde, 'Radhe Shyam' showcased Prabhas in a completely different look and managed a worldwide pre-release business of Rs. 202.80 crores, with Rs. 107 crores from the Telugu states alone.







Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy&nbsp;



Starring Chiranjeevi, this film achieved pre-release business of Rs. 187.25 crores, marking it as the highest in Chiranjeevi’s career. Notably, it broke even just in the Telugu states.







Devara



This Koratala Siva and Junior NTR collaboration did pre-release business of Rs. 185 crores, securing its place in the top-9. This is noted as the highest in NTR's solo career.







Pushpa



Directed by creative director Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, 'Pushpa: The Rise' impressed with its collection storm. It did business of Rs. 160 crores, combining theatrical rights in five languages, satellite, dubbing, and digital rights, demonstrating Allu Arjun's box office stamina.

Top Telugu Romantic Songs with Iconic Lyrics Like 'Samajavaragamana' and 'Inkem Inkem Kaavaale'


In cinema, we often first recall heroes, heroines, and directors, followed by music directors, other cast members, and the technical team. Lastly, cinephiles might ponder who produced the film. Indeed, it's the producers who shoulder the bulk of a movie's production efforts, ensuring no expense is spared to deliver a quality film. While actors and directors may move on to other projects, producers face a tougher challenge if a film flops after significant investment. Now, amidst this high-risk scenario, daughters of stars are stepping into production roles, determined to prove their mettle alongside their brothers, who are entering the scene as actors. Let’s discover who these young producers are in this special report.



Tejaswini Nandamuri

Cast: Raj Tarun, Manisha Kandkur, Abhirami, Ammu Abhirami, Hyper Aadi, Goparaju Ramana, Srikanth Iyengar, Krishna Bhagavan, VTV Ganesh, Singeetam Srinivasa, Leela Samson, Rachcha Ravi, and others.



Director: J. Sivasai Vardhan



Music: Shekhar Chandra



Cinematography: Nagesh Banell



Producer: N.V. Kiran Kumar



Presented by: Maruthi



Release Date: 13-09-2024



Raj Tarun stars in the recently released film 'Bhale Unnade!' with Manisha Kandkur as the heroine, directed by J. Sivasai Vardhan. Produced by N.V. Kiran Kumar under the Ravi Kiran Arts banner and presented by Maruthi's team, the film's trailer and teaser have already garnered interest. This is Raj Tarun's third film released within a month. After the previous two films failed to impress, Raj Tarun has high hopes for 'Bhale Unnade!' How does the film fare? Did it bring success to Raj Tarun? Let's find out in this review.







Plot



Radha (Raj Tarun) works as a saree draper in Visakhapatnam. Raised by his mother Gauri (Abhirami) after his father's early death, he helps her out. Krishna (Manisha), a new employee at the bank where Gauri works, becomes close to Gauri. Krishna enjoys the lunch boxes Radha prepares for his mother and falls in love with Radha's cooking without even seeing his face. Similarly, Radha falls for Krishna through the letters she sends with the lunch box without meeting her. As they prepare for marriage with their elders' consent, Krishna's friend reveals something shocking at the engagement. This raises doubts about Radha's suitability. What happens next? What test does Krishna set for Radha? Why does Radha keep a distance from women? Did their wedding take place?







Performance



Raj Tarun, as Radha, is captivating throughout the film. His acting has more scope compared to his previous films, and his emotional expressions are compelling. Manisha looks beautiful as Krishna, and their chemistry is well-portrayed. Abhirami, as the mother, captures the audience's attention. Even though Singeetam Srinivasa appears only in a few scenes, he leaves a strong impact. Ammu Abhirami, Goparaju Ramana, and Srikanth Iyengar play their parts within their limits. Hyper Aadi and Nellore Sudarshan provide occasional comic relief. The rest of the cast performed adequately within their roles.







Direction



Director J. Sivasai Vardhan crafted this film with a concept of how modern society and women perceive a man aspiring to be like Lord Rama. The first half flows pleasantly with the love track between the hero and heroine and the bond between mother and son, anchored around the lunch box as a medium of their love letters. The twist at the engagement concludes the first half. The second half takes Radha on a background of why he distances himself from women, although it drags compared to the first half. The tests imposed on the hero in a Kerala ashram and the antics of Srikanth Iyengar do not pan out well. The way Radha and Krishna break up also lacks novelty. The climax is another weak point of the film.







Technically



Technically, the cinematographer does a great job with vibrant and fresh visuals. Shekhar Chandra’s music does not leave a lasting impression. The background score is passable, and the editing is fine. The production values are high.







Plus Points



- Raj Tarun's acting



- Story background



- First half



Minus Points



- Lack of commercial elements



- Second half
