'Gaganam' is good but .. - JustTollywood.com News



Gaganam movie that was released a couple of weeks back has got positive reviews from the critics.Audience who love to see different cinema lapped it up.Word of mouth is good that Gaganam is still holding its ground in A centers. Movies like these don’t get ground breaking collections and Gaganam too has been a slow starter at the box office. First week collections of Gaganam in Andhra Pradesh are just over Rs. 4 crore. This is less for a Nagarjuna film and good for an experimental one. Gaganam is getting decent collections in A centers in its second week but the Telangana bandh will prove costly for it. Gaganam is particularly strong in Hyderabad and two days bandh call will affect the revenue. Piracy is also hijacking many audience from watching it in theatres.

'Shakthi' sets a new record in Nizam? - JustTollywood.com News



Jr NTR a brand name for hits these days is on a record breaking spree courtesy with Shakthi movie. Trade circles are expecting Shakthi to become the biggest hit of Tollywood and buyers are betting big on it. Shakti is being sold at high prices in almost all the territories. If the reports are to be believed, Siri Media bagged the Nizam rights for a whopping 10 Crores.This is a record to date. Interestingly none of NTR Jr. films have collected 10 Crores in this region until now. Except Magadheera, Robo and Pokiri none of the films crossed this mark.Therefore to get back the invested amount Shakthi has to do as good as above mentioned block busters. This is a big test for NTR stamina.

Only Rajamouli can break 'Magadheera' record? - JustTollywood.com News



Unlike any other director in the Tollywood, SS Rajamouli had a separate identity and recognition. Almost all the films directed by him were commercial successes.Though a sentiment prevails in the Telugu film industry that the heroes who work with Rajamouli will face flops for their immediate next films, Rajamouli remains unperturbed because none of the directors would match him and give an equal or above success to the director.It is not a blot on Rajamouli but that sentiment proves the stamina of the director. His recent film ‘Magadheera’ rewrote the records of the Telugu film industry in many ways in terms of making and business.His next film with a comedian turned hero is also a commercial success.Now, Rajamouli announced his forthcoming project with Prabhas and the film even before going to sets earns a socio-fantasy talk that it would surpass the range of ‘Magadheera’ given the budget (Rs 60 crores) the producers are going to invest.Let us expect other directors too join this race.
