Its raining movies this summer!!!. Tollywood has dozens of movies lined up for release. Few movies have already hit the theaters in the last 10 days while most of them are still awaiting.
Post exam season, Elections and IPL have made their presence in a strong way where the heat is directly felt by the film industry. Slowly but steadily producers are now daring to release their movies as they expect audience njoy this summer as usual.
Already Prabhas's Billa, Jagapathi Babu's Adhinetha & Bangaru Babu, Bala Krishna's Mitrudu, Surya's Vedokkade have hit the theaters. Ravi Teja's Kick, released a fortnight back is creating waves. Collections swelled and theaters are showed House Full boards for a long time.
Post IPL many movies have hit the theaters including Vishal & Shriya's bilingual Pista, Dairy, Ee Vayasulo, Kavya's Dairy, Chandrashekar Yeleti's Prayanam, Superstar Krishna's Neramu Siksha, Ride & Ajay's Aa Okkadu.
Ram Charan Teja's Magadheera turned out to be the biggest hit this season. It literally broke all the existing records in tollywood including collections. Its only his second movie and Ram Charan Teja is Numerouno. Naga Chaitanya's debut movie "JOSH", though released with a lot of expectations, bombed at the box office. Siddarth Narayan's "OYE" & Vikram's "Mallana" also proved to be dud at the BO. Ravi Teja's Anjaneyulu also followed the loosers list. Allari Naresh's Bendu Appa Rao RMP was an execption of the lot which grossed good revenue inspite of being a small budget movie. Stylish Star Allu Arjun's much awaited movie Arya-2 released under a lot of hype. The openings were good & the movie collections average.
While movies from NTR Jr, RaNa which are from big banners and with bigger budget infact are awaiting for release. Small movies are also competing equally in number with new concepts again.
The year 2009 had as many as 100 movies released to the theaters. Maximum of them are direct telugu movies then comes the dubbed movies from regional languages like Tamil, Hindi & finally dubbed movies from English. Surprisingly dubbed English movies did well this year. Movies like 2012 & AVATAR had collections which were equavalent to a super hit bollywood Movie.
The year 2009 for tollywood has closed on a mixed note with few notable but big hits, good number of average grossers and at the same time many flops too. Lets wait & Watch what Year 2010 has for Tollywood :)
