KALCHAs SEEMA SASTRY MOVIE BOX-OFFICE PREDICTION...
2007-11-18 02:58:00
SEEMA SASTRY is a very crudely made PARODY of SEEMA movies. So, is it all that bad? Hmmm... I have no problem with ridiculing the caste system, no problem with parodies, no problem with vulgarity if demanded... but I have a serious problem with crudely made movies. Ohhh, many of you must be thinking... cut this bullshit and just spill the beans. Well, read on...IN A NUTSHELLHITSEEMA SASTRY will open to a 60+% OCCUPANCY RATES overall. It will never get over 80%... and I mean ever. But will not fall to 30% either... The movie will give enough laughs to enough people (There are always exceptions) to sustain with an average of 30%-50% for 50 days. And if it does manage to do that... then it would have made enough GROSS collections to give at least 50% NETT PROFITS. In the end, the movie would be a decent enough HIT making it a 2nd SUCCESSFUL FILM of ALLARI NARESH this year after the success of ATTILI SATTIBABU LKG in the first half of the year.

First Nayanatara Shed Weight, Now It Is Her Clothes...
2007-11-13 20:19:00
NAYANATARA is one of the sweetest looking heroines around. But since her break up with SIMBU, she seems to be on a path of constant change.She started paying more attention to her career. And then she mercifully shed a lot of wait. Not satisfied by being JUST BEAUTIFUL, she tried to shed some clothes in THULASI. But the audiences obviously wanted more. So, very consciously, she gave her consent to do a 2-PIECE BIKINI shoot for her upcoming Tamil movie BILLA 2007. The movie is a remake of Hindi DON. Now it is beyond clear that she is focussed on looking SENSUOUS and BEAUTIFUL. Lets wait to see how she carries herself in a 2-PIECE BIKINI... The significance of this particular decision is the fact that, this is the first time a heroine is trying to wear a 2-PIECE BIKINI in recent years in South Indian Cinema. If she succeeds, more and more heroines will surely take this path to success.

Reportedly, Railway Staions Are Being Banned From Shootings...
2007-11-13 16:35:00
RAILWAY STATIONS and their Departments are being banned from being used for shooting Movies and the like. Railway Ministry released a circular in this regard. Reportedly, all the Railway Divisional offices have received these circulars already.So, from now on, the producers have to shell out more for some realistic looking sets. I just hope that this improves the quality of the ART DIRECTION. Now, how many of you guys/gals have seen THE TERMINAL by STEVEN SPEILBERG staring TOM HANKS? 99% of the movie is picturized in a huge airport terminal set. It has to be seen to believe it... I know that for a single scene, it would be foolish for any producer to erect such sets. But you gotta understand that the film studios like Ramoji Film City have standard sets for such brief scenes. But the problem is that these standard sets are being used as is and without any customization of any sort. So, when ever we see these stations or airports on screen, they all look alike. And moreover they alwa...

TEJAs CHITRAM MOVIES and SURESH PRODUCTIONS are teaming up to produce an ALL-NEW-COMER flick. Producer D Suresh Babu informed the media that he liked the script developed by TEJA and came forward to produce it. Teja and we are producing it jointly, he said."This is the time that fresh water should flow in Tollywood. With the success of Happy Days, it is again proved that newcomers and new heroes are welcomed, " TEJA reasoned.The film will begin in February next year. Grapevine is that Teja was supposed to direct a film with Venkatesh on Suresh Productions banner but thankfully it didn't materialize. One of the most OVER-RATED Directors of Tollywood... Mr. TEJA takes pride in HEROINE-BEATING to give us the SUPPOSED BEST QUALITY. I cannot speak for others but if that is the cost of my pleasure... I certainly don't need that quality guys/gals...

KALCHAs THULASI BOX-OFFICE UPDATE
2007-11-12 13:14:00
I AM really GLAD to inform you all that I have been PARTLY WRONG and PARTLY CORRECT in THULASIs Box-Office Prediction. Very obviously, I am Glad for being PARTLY CORRECT. But also GLAD that I am PARTLY WRONG. The reason being that at least A center Telugu film audiences are showing signs of maturity and rejecting even the STAR movies. The recent examples are CHIRUTHA, ATHIDHI and THULASI. Coming to the Thulasi, it is one of the weakest movies of Venkatesh. I reviewed it so badly that it was in stark contrast with my Box-Office Prediction. But still, I was expecting a Blockbuster. So, did it really make it? The answer is NOOO. But it is a HIT anyway. THULASI is doing AVERAGE business in A centers, ABOVE AVERAGE business in B centers and BLOCKBUSTER business in C centers. So, overall THULASI is a HIT. But many of the A center audiences would perceive it as just an AVERAGE film.Let me give you an example of an obscure film that many of you might not even remember. It is PUTTINTIKIRA CH...

Pawan Kalyan Has Sachin Tendulkar's Tennis Elbow!!!
2007-11-11 19:32:00
PAWAN KALYAN has been creating a lot of sensations off-late for all the wrong reasons and other than CINEMA. But the latest revelation has been that the strapping band that he is sporting now-a-days on his right elbow is a TENNIS ELBOW!!! I think many of you would remember SACHIN TENDULKAR had a similar one and was in news for some time. So, how did PAWAN got this Tennis Elbow ? Well, according to a popular website Telugulo.com, Pawan used to do farming activities in his free time at his farmhouse in Sankarpalli. According to them, while doing so... he must have used his right hand for plucking out the weeds to the extent that it gave him TENNIS ELBOW. And so following his doctor's advise, he is wearing a strapping. How ridiculous is that? I am not a medical expert, but heard that SACHIN got it because of his illustrious but punishing career. I wonder what must be the real reason behind this TENNIS ELBOW?

RAM CHARAN might not have had the best of debuts with CHIRUTHA, but his next movie's director RAJA MOULI is certainly putting a lot in to the script as per the film industry talk. Raja Mouli is scripting an out and out ACTION movie. Unlike Ram Char an, Raja Mouli is fresh from a HIT movie YAMADONGA. So, I just hope that it won't end up as cliched as Chirutha.

KALCHAs "VIYYALA VARI KAYYALU" BOX-OFFICE PREDICTION...
2007-11-02 07:21:00
VIYYALA VARI KAYYALU is an utter disrespect to the Telugu film audiences. I don't think Tollywood audiences have such a cheap taste. And my dear friends, when ever U see the producer of this movie, please demand your 50 Bucks back (Assuming that you are one of the victims of VVK).IN A NUTSHELLVIYYALA VARI KAYYALU will open to 50-60% all over A.P. By the third day of the release, that is November 3rd, VVK would be averaging around 30-40%. If I am proven correct, then this movie is yet another disaster of the year. So, all in all 2007 is one of the worst years that Tollywood has ever seen. And these setbacks are both in terms of Box-Office and Quality. Anyway, please don't ruin your beautiful DEEPAVALI by venturing in to the hell zone namely VIYYALA VARI KAYYALU. ---KALCHA

PRABHAS Is Very Keen To Act In Multi-Starers...
2007-10-31 19:52:00
MULTI-STARERS have traditionally been among the highest grossing movies in BOLLYWOOD... from SHOLAY to RDB... and many more before, after and in between. Same was the case with Tollywood as well with frequently made successful multi-starers. From MAYABAZAR to MAJOR CHANDRAKANTH... there are many examples. But, the trend took a severe beating in recent times in Tollywood. As of today, Telugu film stars are being given the status of DEMI-GODS. This trend is very unhealthy. Someone has to take the initiative. Actor PRABHAS is the only hero who is now keen to act in multi-starer films. He said that if any director comes forward to make multi-starer films, he would be ready to act in them.Now, the real question is... "If the directors and actors have no time to work on the SCRIPTS for SOLO films (This year's examples of Poorly scripted FLOPS are ANNAVARAM, YOGI, MAHARADHI, MUNNA, CHIRUTHA, ATHIDHI), where would they get the time to work on MULTI-STARER scripts?"

KALCHAs ATHIDHI Box-Office Prediction...
2007-10-19 01:08:00
I really was of the opinion that it would be extremely hard for me to predict ATHIDHIs fate at the box-office. The reason being that... undoubtedly, MAHESH BABU is the biggest star of Tollywood as of today. Otherwise, nothing explains the fact... "While POKIRI grossed Rs. 65+ Crores in its entire run... the nearest grossers are stuck at Rs. 35+ Crores as of today... (Not taking Inflation in to account...)" So, it is beyond doubt that Mahesh Babu is at least TWICE A STAR when it comes to Box-Office . So, with UTV entering the Tollywood Film Market, Bollywood babe AMRITA RAO making her South Indian debut, MAHESH BABU for being just who he is (Undoubtedly, the most Handsome Star of Tollywood), SURENDER REDDY for being among the highly paid directors AND with a huge budget of Rs.20+ Crores... CAN ATHIDHI GO WRONG? The answer is YESSS... ATHIDHI can not only go wrong but makes me advice you... DO NOT LET THIS ATHIDHI STEAL Rs. 50+ HARD EARNED BUCKS FROM YOUR POCKET...IN A NUTSHELL: With ...

PRIYAMANI has always been consistently telling us that PELLAINA KOTHALO(2006) was her first film... What do you say guys n gals?

But the truth is different and bitter for her...Can you recognize the actress in the below picture...Well, no prizes for guessing... Yes, she is Priyamani in her debut movie EVARE ATHAGADU. She played the second female lead in that disastrous movie. The male co-star was VALLABHA, son of the producer K.S.Rama Rao. And I don't find fault with Priyamani for hiding the truth. Because no sensible actress would want herself to be identified as a debutant opposite that weird guy... (or is he?)
