Buzz was extremely positive on Superstar Mahesh Babu's Brahmotsavam, before release of the movie. However, things have completely reversed post the release. The movie got unenthusiastic response from critics as well as public, owing to poor writing and bad making by director Srikanth Addala. Unrealistic emotions and unnecessary drama has turned spoilsport for the movie.

Brahmotsavam grossed $556,660 through premieres in USA from 149 screens. As per trade analysts, sales have slowed down in the territory owing to negative mouth talk. Early estimates suggest that, Brahmotsavam day 1 shares are around Rs 13 crores in Telugu states.

Heavy rains in Andhra have affected the movie collections in the zone. Due to over class making and poor mouth talk, the movie is doing average to below average business in ceded. Although day one collections are good in Nizam, response is weak on day 2.

Reports state that, day two starts on dull note in all the centers, including Nizam. Seems like, nothing even the nature is helping Brahmotsavam to sustain at box office!

Superstar Mahesh Babu and his Brahmotsavam movie producer Prasad Vara Potluri are heard to be planning to compensate for distributors who approached them to payback money. The Srikanth Addala directed film released yesterday got lukewarm response and chances are meager for this movie sustaining at box office.

Brahmotsavam theatrical rights for most of the areas were sold on NRA (Non-Refundable Amount) basis. Producer pocketed 20 Cr table profits, but now if a speculation is to be believed he has decided to give back some amount to the distributors. Mahesh Babu who acted as well as co-produced the movie is heard to be willing to reimburse from his remuneration.

It may be recalled here that, Mahesh Babu compensated to distributors who lost big with Aagadu. While some are opposing the idea of actors, directors and producers repaying distributors when they incur losses, others say the current distribution system should be changed. 

They say that, why distributors accept buying film rights for high rates on NRA basis and what rights they have to demand paying back money.

Distributors of Abhishek Pictures demanded compensation for Loafer losses from director Puri Jagannadh who refused the proposal. The same distributors have released Brahmotsavam in Nizam and are expected to face losses.

Ravi Teja caught by police

Don’t fret, and we are not kidding. The actor was really caught by cops last night. The black UV film on cars has been banned for long time now.
Yet, high profile people continue to use them to protect their privacy. In the recent times even Young Tiger NTR was caught red handed when he
was in the car with the banned film on the windows and wind shields.
Now Ravi Teja did the same. His car bearing the registration number AP 28 DK 4742 had the black film and Jubilee Hills police stopped and fined Rs 800 to Mass Maharaja!

Mahesh Babu’s Brahmotsavam opened to poor talk all over. Even the class audience are not liking this family documentary drama. 
Reports from overseas too aren’t encouraging. Makers were alerted by the poor talk and public response and are planning to take some damage control steps. 
As per reliable sources Brahmotsavam will be trimmed down by 18 minutes. The trimmed version will be screened from tomorrow.
We didn’t get the details about the footage that is going to be edited out. One of the songs in the first half might be removed as per the feedback. 
Brahmotsavam is off to below par start in the Telugu states. Disaster reports are coming in from Ceded area. It is unlikely to beat Sardaar Gabbar Singh premieres collection in US. 
It is interesting to see if Mahesh comes out and aggressively promote the film or simply accept the failure and move on.

People started trolling about “Jabardast” program on the internet. There are many fans for this programme which is being telecast on ETV and they watch it without missing even a single episode.
At the same time, there are many people who hate this show and take a dig at describing it as an extremely vulgar show.
Now, the programme has come under severe criticism for a different reason and that is laughter. People have started finding fault with the way Naga Babu and Roja are laughing at every skit performed by the participants.
Nobody feels bad, if the judges really laugh heartily at the performances of the participants. But it is irritating to see them laughing artificially for every skit. This is what is doing rounds on the net.
Netizens are poking fun at the programme, saying if anybody wants people to laugh at his joke which does not evoke laughter, he should go to Naga Babu. People are of the view that Naga Babu and Roja are forced to laugh for every silly joke, just because they are being paid a hefty remuneration of Rs 1 lakh each for every episode.
Unfortunately, they have become a laughing stock along with the anchors, who enjoy vulgar comments made at them by the artistes!

Even 5 months after releasing 'Loafer', Varun Tej is yet to kick-start his new project. Though he signed a film with Srinu Vytla titled as 'Mister', the film is yet to go on floors. Latest reports say that Varun is interested in starting another film now.

We already knew that Shekar Kammula narrated a script to Varun Tej. This Mega hero was impressed by his script and is reportedly thinking of sidelining 'Mister' and starting Kammula's film first. The film will be produced by Dil Raju. Kammula's films are usually soft in nature and Varun Tej too tried to be versatile from the beginning of his career.

But there is another talk that as Vytla's film is planning a foreign shoot first, it is taking time. Inspite of this, Varun Tej will first work on Sreenu Vytla's project and then move on to Shekar Kammula's film. We need to wait and see for further updates.

Telangana CM KCR has kept his promise of offering financial assistance to veteran character artiste Pavala Syamala. In the past, KCR assured Syamala of Rs. 10,000 pension every month and instructed the State's Cultural Department's Director to come to Syamala's rescue.

Yesterday, the Cultural Department deposited Rs. 20,000 towards the senior actress' pension for the months of March and April in Syamala's bank account. Expressing her gratitude, Syamala met KCR and hailed his kindhearted gesture and hoped that KCR  will aid other financially ailing veteran actors.

Known for her typical dialogue delivery and comedy in numerous hit films, Pavala Syamala has been away from the arc lights since a long time following severe illness. With his latest gesture, KCR has once again won the hearts of film industry people and common people. -

Mahesh Babu's much awaited family saga Brahmotsavam released today amidst huge expectations. With nearly 80 crores at stake, the film received severe flak from critics and movie-goers for its TV serial like narration, and the major complaint from all quartets has been the film's long duration.

With negative word of mouth spreading fast with each show, the makers have acted quickly and have reportedly decided to edit out at least 18 minutes from the film. The freshly trimmed version will be played from tomorrow in all the screens.

As per the inside buzz, a major chunk of scenes in the second half including a song in the first half will be chopped off to make the film even crisper. With the film already suffering from the negative feedback, we will have to wait and see if the edited version will work wonders for the film. -

After watching Brahmotsavam today, many might have got a thought that we are left with only few heroines like Samantha, Kajal, Tamanna in star league and it is really a high time for new heroines to take over their place. 

Turning back a page or two, we can recall how pale and lean Samantha looked in Son of Satyamurthy and in recent 24. Kajal too lost her charm and no one can disagree with that if they watched her in Sardaar Gabbar Singh. Tamanna never really got anywhere near these two, though she had films like Baahubali and Oopiri, thanks to her overacting. Anushka went out of shape often, though her admirers want to justify the changes as a need for films like Size zero, Rudramadevi and Baahubali. 

It is a fact that new heroines are not really able to reach the virtual benchmark set by these heroines and hence they were not being roped into star heroes films. Shruti Haasan and Rakul Preet have been giving some serious threats to seniors, but there is still a lot of space for new talented beauties. The ratio of heroes and successful heroines is not the same and repeated combinations are more like monotonous and deja vu. 

Nitya menon is too selective and glamour roles is not what she usually prefers. Lavanya Tripathi, Raashi Khanna and Regina somehow look better with mid range heroes. After the set of heroines like Trisha, Shriya and Ileana, there are Samantha, Kajal, Tamanna and Anushka who took over without much gap. But, it is time for new faces to replace them too. -

The mixed talk of Brahmotsavam has given a huge relief to the makers of A..Aa. Renowned banner Haarika and Hasini creations were quite confused as to when to release their film in the mahem of Brahmotsavam and finally settled down for a June 1st week release.

But to their good luck the Mahesh Babu starrer has opened to some mixed reviews and has given them a huge advantage as they can now happily release their film without much tension and competition.

Chances are there that they can even prepone the release to May end to get a smoother run at the box office. Initially Trivikram and his team were fearing that the collections of their film will hamper big time because of Brahmotsavam but now things look happy for them.

Being a Trivikram film the craze is huge and with some.good buzz the team should have an clear advantage and now release their film happily according to their plans.

Sarabjit is a real life based film with a lot of fiction added up to make it interesting, but the movie seems to have ended up more melodramatic, thanks to over-acting of comeback queen Aishwarya Rai. 

Though the movie is about wrongfully convicted farmer Sarabjit, theme is his sister Dalbir's fight to prove his innocence when he was incarcerated in Pakistan prison for nearly two decades. Sarabjit died in a gruesome assault in jail. 

Randeep Hooda lived in Sarabjit character. his looks and performance remain flawless while Dalbir's character played by Aishwarya Rai highly disappoints with her over shouting, chest thumping and failure to fit in a Punjabi woman character. She often slips from Punjabi accent and her striding voice irritates at most parts, almost everywhere. Aishwarya Rai totally failed to justify her role and another talented actress Richa Chadda as Sarabjit's wife is totally wasted in star domination. 

Altogether, the movie would have been far better when Randeep Hooda was given a little more space and cut down Aishwarya's long noisy boring lectures. -

Ground is set for the grand release of Prince Mahesh's 'Brahmotsavam' on May 20. Early morning shows in some of the centers across the Telugu states will start at 5 am onwards. It is a known news that the Telangana government has given permission to screen extra show in all single theaters on the day one of the movie's release in Telangana. This show will start at 8:00 am in Telangana districts. 
On the other side, crispy run time of 2 hours and 31 minutes is said to be an advantage for the movie. The family emotions and touching sentiments in the film are likely to attract family audiences in big numbers to theaters. 
Mahesh's previous film 'Srimanthudu' was one of the biggest blockbusters of last year. 'Brahmotsavam' is expected to be nothing less than the range of 'Srimanthudu'. Kajal, Samantha and Pranitha are adding colour and fragrance to the film. Mickey J Meyer has composed decent tunes. This Srikanth Addala's directorial venture was produced by Potluri Vara Prasad on PVP Cinema.

If it is not one of the rarest cases, no person love to share their space or apartment with ex girlfriend after breakup. But here is a hero who is living with his ex girlfriend and her current boyfriend! 

Telugu hero Harshavardhan Rane reveals it by himself and he denies having any qualms in that. Rane acted in more heroine-centric films in Telugu and recently bagged a film offer in Bollywood. The movie 'Sanam tere Kasam' turned out to be an average performer and Rane shifted to Mumbai after finding three more solid offers there. 

There were rumors that Rane decided to settle down in Mumbai and even sold his Hyderabad residence. When asked about the same, Rane laughed at it and revealed the actual fact that he never had a house in Hyderabad and he used to stay in hotels most of the time. Neither he had a house in Mumbai and never wanted to buy one. Then he said that he moved into an apartment with his ex girlfriend and her boyfriend. 

We don't know how spacious is his apartment, but his heart is sure s big one! - See more at:

As expected 'Brahmotsavam' is a complete family entertainer. The film has a dream cast with consists of seasoned actors like Jayasudha, Satyaraj, Revathi and many others. Mahesh Babu said that everything was fine but the main problem was with its heroines.

He explained that after roping in Samantha and Pranitha, we approached other heroines for Kajal's role. After listening that there were two heroines already, many of them rejected this film even without listening to the story. After getting rejected by many heroines, the script went into the hands of Kajal. When she listened the script, she was impressed by it and immediately accepted the film.

This made the makers very happy and Mahesh thanked Kajal and Samantha for accepting this roles. But, rejecting a film without listening to the script is something awkward. Isn't it? -

It was all about exchanging harsh comments and taking sides when we hear about Nadigar Sangam elections few months back in Tamil film association. Hero Vishal along with Karthi and Nasser locked horns with seniors like Sarath Kumar and finally won the elections. Well, Vishal reveals what was it all about and what really is happening now. 

Vishal speaks how his opinions varied from that of Sarath kumar about helping the thousands of poor senior artists when they could not build a Nadigar Sangam building through which many were planned to get pensions to live with. The difference is visible with new general secretary Vishal and new treasurer Karthi as they cleared Rs. 2 Cr loan and already accumulated Rs 9 Cr through star cricket match for construction of Nadigar Sangam building. 

As a second initiative to build a state of the art auditorium and other cultural buildings in a vast 110 acres, Vishal and Karthi decided to act free for a film to fill the shortage of some Rs 26 Cr. These young heroes even cut down their sleeping hours to work more on these developments. That shows the true dedication of young Tamil stars in a true intention to help the poor artists and hope they achieve what they started. -

Tamil settled Telugu guy Vishal speaks out about his rumored love affair with Sharath kumar's daughter Varalakshmi and still leaves us few things to imagine. 

Vishal admits being in love with Varalakshmi Sarath Kumar, but as a close friend from childhood. When asked about getting married to her, Vishal still gives no clarity on it saying that marriage is a big step to take and he himself is not clear in his head on it yet. 

Speaking about the rumors that Varalakshmi is the reason for his scuffle with Sarath Kumar, the young hero ridiculed it to core calling it as a disgusting rumor. Vishal is confident that neither Sarath Kumar too knows very well that it is not about Varalakshmi in anyway, but sure is about difference of opinions regarding Nadigar Sangam building.

Young mega hero Sai Dharam Tej whose recent outing Supreme is turning out to be a decent hit is giving nod for flop makers. The young hero is presently working for Thikka being directed by Sunil Reddy whose maiden directorial venture Om 3D was a disaster. 

He will next team up with Gopichand Malineni whose last movie Pandaga Chesko was a commercial failure. Meanwhile, Sai has given green signal for a film with writer-turned-director BVS Ravi who is yet to score a hit as director.

Now, as per a buzz, AS Ravikumar Chowdary who provided first hit to Sai Dharam Tej with Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitam has narrated a story to the young hero who has told the director to come up with a bounded script. 

If things materialize, Sai will work with Ravikumar Chowdary whose last movie Soukhyam was a debacle at box office. Sai Dharam Tej is giving preference to winning scripts, rather than successful directors, it seems. - S

Megastar Chiranjeevi's 150th film tentatively titled Kathilantodu will go on floors soon. Directed by VV Vinayak, Anushka Shetty is almost confirmed to play leading lady opposite Chiranjeevi in the movie billed to be a commercial entertainer. 

Latest buzz is that, Catherine Tresa who was seen as MLA in Allu Arjun starred Sarainodu has been approached for a cameo role in the movie. The buzz adds that, Catherine will also shake her leg opposite Chiranjeevi in a mass song. If this news is true, Catherine is lucky getting to work with megastar.

While speaking at a promotional event of Sarainodu, Catherine stated that, she is getting good offers in Tamil, but she is neglected in Telugu. Seems like, the success of Sarrainodu is helping the starlet to bag some plum offers in Telugu.
