      Janhvi Kapoor and Bhagyashri Borse: Unexpected Setbacks and New Hopes in Tollywood
      Janhvi Kapoor and Bhagyashri Borse: Unexpected Setbacks and New Hopes in Tollywood
      Bollywood beauties Bhagyashri Borse and Janhvi Kapoor have been gaining recognition as the future heroines of Tollywood for some time now. There was considerable buzz that a solid hit could ensure a series of opportunities for these actresses. However, their first films did not captivate the audience as expected. Bhagyashri Borse faced a flop with the movie 'Mr. Bachchan'. Although Janhvi Kapoor had a successful film with 'Devara', her role was too brief to be highlighted significantly. Both actresses are now pinning high hopes on their upcoming films. The Burden is All on Charan! Entering Tollywood with the big star Tarak in 'Devara', Janhvi Kapoor, the daughter of Sridevi, had created a significant buzz even before its release. She was actively involved in promotions and managed to attract everyone's attention. However, after the release, Janhvi’s character left much to be desired, reminiscent of a guest role, which greatly disappointed her fans. Now, Janhvi’s hopes are all pinned on the upcoming project 'RC 16', a collaboration between Ram Charan and Buchi Babu. Whether she will get a substantial role in this film remains a question among her fans. If Janhvi proved her mettle as an actress, she could also become popular in Telugu cinema. It remains to be seen how well she will impress in RC 16. Bhagyashri Borse's Bright Future! Until the release of 'Mr. Bachchan', Bhagyashri Borse's name resonated strongly in Tollywood, hailed as the future queen. However, an unexpected disaster with 'Mr. Bachchan' evaporated all the high hopes placed on her. Yet, she has managed to make a mark as an actress. Currently, she is reportedly acting in 'VD12' alongside Vijay Deverakonda and has recently embarked on a pan-India project with Dulquer Salman titled 'Kaanta'. Furthermore, many young actors are keen to work with Bhagyashri, suggesting that despite the flop of 'Mr. Bachchan', her fame remains untarnished. Film analysts predict that a proper hit could easily catapult her into the top tier of Telugu heroines. From Sridevi's Daughter to a Star Heroine! Janhvi made her entry into Bollywood as Sridevi’s daughter with the Marathi film 'Sairat' remake, 'Dhadak'. She then acted in 'Gunjan Saxena', earning acclaim for her performance based on a real-life story. While she continued to take on roles in films like 'Good Luck Jerry', 'Mili', and 'Bawaal', major success eluded her. However, her appearance in a special song in 'Rakhi Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani' caught everyone's eye. Recently, she has received praise for her roles as the female lead in Bollywood films 'Mr. and Mrs. Mahi' and 'Ulaaj'. Currently, Janhvi is filming 'Sunny Sanskriti ki Tulsi Kumari' in Hindi. Background of Bhagyashri! Bhagyashri Borse hails from Pune, Maharashtra. She made her silver screen debut with the Hindi film 'Yaariyan 2' after modeling in various ads, notably gaining fame with Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk commercials. Impressed by her acting in 'Yaariyan 2', director Harish Shankar gave her a chance in 'Mr. Bachchan'. Since then, this actress has created a buzz in Tollywood, securing more offers. Known for her cute looks, Bhagyashri is also very active on social media, frequently treating fans to glamorous updates and thus enhancing her popularity beyond cinema.

      'Devara' Fever: Jr NTR’s Grand Release Poised for Record-Breaking ₹125 Crore Opening Day
      'Devara' Fever: Jr NTR’s Grand Release Poised for Record-Breaking ₹125 Crore Opening Day
      Just a few hours remain until the premiere of 'Devara' (Devara: Part 1). Directed by Koratala Siva and starring Jr NTR, the film is set for a grand worldwide release tomorrow (September 27). Janhvi Kapoor, daughter of Sridevi and Bollywood beauty, stars opposite Tarak, while noted Hindi actor Saif Ali Khan plays the antagonist, generating nationwide buzz. With over 500 premieres in the Telugu states, the advance booking trends worldwide suggest that 'Devara' will easily garner over ₹120 crores on its first day. Let's explore how this is possible. ₹125 Crores Confirmed for Day One! Tarak's 'Devara' has already broken several records before its release, creating massive hype. Tickets worldwide are selling like hotcakes. The governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have even allowed an increase in ticket prices. Record-breaking presales are happening overseas. Given this backdrop, it is evident that 'Devara' will easily gross over ₹125 crores on its first day, and industry insiders estimate that an additional ₹10-15 crores wouldn't be surprising. According to pre-bookings, the film is expected to earn ₹65 crores in the two Telugu states alone, with ₹8-10 crores coming from Hindi-speaking regions. Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and the rest of India could collectively contribute another ₹10-15 crores. Overseas, 'Devara' is set to make a significant impact, with trade circles predicting an easy ₹30-35 crores on the first day alone. Overall, the film is firmly expected to cross ₹125 crores on its opening day. What's the Break-Even Target? The pre-release business for 'Devara,' directed by Koratala Siva and starring NTR, has been phenomenal. Theatrical rights alone have been sold for ₹185 crores, according to trade sources. In the two Telugu states, the rights went for ₹115 crores, with the Nizam area alone fetching ₹45 crores. Ceded region reported ₹22 crores in business, while Karnataka saw ₹15 crores, Tamil Nadu ₹6 crores, and Kerala ₹0.5 crores. In the US, the film sold for ₹26 crores and ₹15 crores in the Hindi belt. In total, all areas combined for a pre-release business of ₹185 crores. If the film collects a share of ₹200 crores, it will break even. Anirudh's First Review of 'Devara' Young music sensation Anirudh Ravichander provided the soundtrack for 'Devara.' In a recent interview, he commented on the film's hype: "I was amazed during the scoring of the background music. I kept wondering how they managed to make such a great film. It's a wonderful action drama. Such films allow for creative experiments in music. We aimed to provide a fresh experience for the audience, completing 95% of the recording work overseas. Watching 'Devara' will give you a feeling similar to watching Hollywood films like Avengers and Batman. It has emotion, drama, action, and intensity. Audiences coming to the theaters are in for a phenomenal experience. I'm looking forward to seeing this movie on the first day, first show," said Anirudh. A Telugu Actress as Saif's Wife It's known that Saif Ali Khan plays the villain in 'Devara.' Telugu senior actress Chaitra Rai stars as his wife, causing her name to surge in popularity. "Getting the opportunity to act alongside stars like NTR and Saif Ali Khan is my good fortune," said Chaitra. She was thrilled to meet Tarak and Saif on set. Chaitra first became known through the 'Ashta Chamma' serial and is currently acting in the 'Radhaku Neevera Pranam' serial. She hopes that a good recognition from 'Devara' could keep her busy in movies too. A Rare Feat in Two Countries 'Devara' is currently trending on social media and has achieved a new milestone by setting a record in Australia and New Zealand. It will be the first Indian film to be shown in a significant number of Dolby Atmos shows in these two countries, with 13 screens in Australia and 3 in New Zealand. Additionally, 'Devara' recently set a record in North America's ticket presales, becoming the fastest Indian film to reach the $1 million mark in presales.

      ANR 100th Birth Anniversary: Celebrating Akkineni Nageswara Rao, the Pioneer of Dance in Tollywood
      ANR 100th Birth Anniversary: Celebrating Akkineni Nageswara Rao, the Pioneer of Dance in Tollywood
      Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR), one of the foundational pillars of Tollywood, needs no special introduction. Recognized as a Dadasaheb Phalke Award recipient, Padma Vibhushan, and Natasamrat, he left an indelible mark on the industry. Born on September 20, 1924, as his centenary completes today, fans globally are celebrating his 100th birth anniversary. Although widely known as a legendary actor, not everyone is aware that he was also an excellent dancer. In fact, he was the one who introduced dance to Tollywood, a fact that might be unknown to this generation. Let’s delve into this special report to learn more about it. [toc] The Pioneer of Dance in Tollywood Looking back to the early days of Tollywood, dance was not a primary focus when the industry first began. Leading actors were not keen on dancing; their focus was entirely on how to act and express emotions to captivate the audience. This was particularly noticeable between the 1960s and 1970s. When heroines danced, heroes would often just stand by, a point of criticism at the time. However, Akkineni Nageswara Rao completely changed these dynamics. While many associate Tollywood dance primarily with Megastar Chiranjeevi, it was Nageswara Rao who laid the groundwork for dance in the industry, making it an essential skill for heroes, matching and even excelling alongside heroines in dance. At one point, seeing Nageswara Rao’s dance, contemporaries like Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, Superstar Krishna, Shobhan Babu, and Krishnam Raju also began to emphasize dance in their films. Audiences Mesmerized by Akkineni's Steps! In the 1971 film 'Dasara Bullodu', ANR’s performance in the song ‘Ettage Unnadi Olammi’ was mesmerizing. Similarly, in 'Bangaru Babu', his dance to 'Chengavi Rangu Cheera' electrified audiences who, until then, primarily enjoyed songs for their auditory appeal. Specifically, his dance in 'Prem Nagar' for the song ‘Nenu Puttanu Lokam Navvindi’ became a trendsetter. Additionally, his competitive dance with Sridevi in 'Premabhishekam' for the song 'Ne Kallu Chebuthunnayi' delighted everyone. He also matched steps with Megastar Chiranjeevi in the film 'Mechanic Alludu'. There’s a long list of such performances, some of which are linked below for a glimpse into his prowess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG_H1fNnWJA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWhPlHc0yoU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTt-kp2Lndc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA_uVs7H7G0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_p90nJNsB8 Inspired by Nageswara Rao... Even Megastar Chiranjeevi, known for his dance, was inspired by Nageswara Rao at one point. It’s said that Chiru enhanced the importance of dance in films after watching Nageswara Rao’s movies. In an event, Chiranjeevi made interesting remarks about ANR's influence, noting that after watching Chiru’s dance, one might wonder if his body actually had any bones at all. Over the decades, as Chiranjeevi became a peerless hero in acting and dancing, he carried forward the legacy initiated by Nageswara Rao, which now continues with stars like Allu Arjun, Ram Charan, NTR, and Ram Pothineni. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFTIlMls-98 Interesting Post by Balakrishna On the occasion of ANR's 100th birth anniversary, actor Balakrishna posted a touching tribute, expressing pride in remembering Nageswara Rao. He noted that ANR's iconic roles and invaluable contributions to Telugu cinema are unforgettable and serve as a guiding light to all actors. Balakrishna urged everyone to express their gratitude for the immense services ANR provided to the film industry, from theater to cinema. His journey is an inspiration to all. ANR's Top-10 Film Re-Releases To commemorate Akkineni Nageswara Rao's centennial, a series titled 'ANR 100: King of the Silver Screen' is re-releasing ten of his classic films from September 20-22 across various cities including Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Warangal, Kakinada, Tumkur, Vadodara, Jalandhar, and Rourkela, among a total of 25 locations.
