Director Puri Jagannath could have definitely expected his ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ to score a minimum average at BO. But, the result has been completely dismal with critics shunting the film for poor screenplay and lack of Puri’s trademark treatment. For what ever the reasons, Puri Jagan is most popularized for punch dialogues and powerful narration of scenes which Fans of top heroes like the most.
The shocking result of ‘DCM’ is known to have finally forced pawan kalyan to finger in the making of ‘Camerman Ganga Tho Ram Babu.’ Insiders are murmuring that, Pawan asked Puri to re-check the entire footage shot till now before taking the film on to final editing table. Even, a disturbed Puri did not want to take any chances of losing his complete reputation has accepted to work with Pawan’s directions from now on. In a pressure cooker situation, Puri and Pawan are jointly monitoring the quality of shots. Wish that ‘CMGR’ will come out as best product ever seen in Tollywood from this rare combination who earlier gave a super hit 'Badri.

Now, Pawan started directing Puri
'Pawan Hates All These Collection Dramas'
Finally, producer Ganesh has cleared the air regarding the real reasons behind the secrecy of 'Gabbar Singh' collections. With GS finishing 100 days today, here comes a word from the producer's mouth about collections and so.
'Many people feel that this film hasn't collected much, but I don't care. Pawan Kalyan hates all these collection dramas and he asked to me not to reveal any numbers', says Bandla Ganesh, producer of blockbuster 'Gabbar Singh'. He added that making movie with Pawan itself is a big achievement and there is no need to depend on collections and fake-records.
Coming to 100 days function, Ganesh says that if Pawan is busy and okay with it, he is ready for that. Mega fans are waiting for the big-events of both 'Racha' and 'Gabbar Singh' 100 days functions from a time and just one 'rain' could fulfil their drought.
Congratulations to team 'Gabbar Singh' for successful 100 days in 65 centres.

Can you believe that megastar chiranjeevi's 'Indra' is still holding the record of town highest share record in one of the towns of the state? Since the movie released ten years ago, it is hard to imagine that its collections could not be broken by any other movie. However, the unbelievable took place and the town where 'Indra's record safe was 'Tuni', which belongs to East Godavari area. Going by the details, the movie was released on 24th July, 2002 and ran 175 days in Tuni and collected a share of Rs.18 lakhs. No movie of tollywood has crossed this share mark including 'Magadheera' in this town.
Interestingly, there is one more town in the state where 'Indra' occupied number two position even today and the town is 'Mandapeta'. In 'Mandapeta', 'Magadheera' collected a share of Rs.21 lakhs whereas, 'Indra' collected a share of Rs.19 lakhs. No movie has touched the shares of these two movies till now. Hope, forthcoming big projects will break these records.

Bunny Surpasses Jr.NTR

stylish star allu arjun's 'Julayi' movie is getting very good collections at the box office. The movie has collected a share of Rs. 28.09 crores at the end of its first week run. As per the current trends, the trade sources are expecting that the movie will cross the mark of Rs.40 crores share quite easily at the box office in its full run. Interesting thing is that earlier, Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan and Mahesh Babu crossed Rs.40 crores share through their movies such as 'Gabbar Singh', 'Magadheera', 'Rachcha' and 'Dookudu'. Rajamouli's 'Eega' has also crossed this share without having a hero in it, including all the versions of the movie. However, Jr. NTR's highest grosser 'Dammu' has collected a share of Rs.34 crores at the end of its full run. So, it is said that Allu Arjun surpassed Jr.NTR through his 'Julayi' at least for some time until Jr. NTR gives a blockbuster hit through his forthcoming 'Baadshah' movie.
Sexy actress Ileana has paired up with Bunny in this movie. Rajendra Prasad played a hilarious role in the movie while Sonu Sood did the antagonist. The music has been rendered by Devi Sri Prasad. Ace director Trivikram directed this movie. Radhakrishna produced this movie under Haarika and Hassine Creations.

Cherry throws challenge to NTR!

With in few days after Junior NTR’s producer Bandla Ganesh Babu announcing the release date of his ‘Baadshah’ as January 11 that is for Sankranti, now we have Mega Power Star too getting himself ready to enter into battle field with ‘Nayak.’ Although unofficial, we are reported that ‘Nayak’ directed by VV Vinayak will also be one of the tough contenders in Pongal race.
Of course, it is too early to estimate the strengths of ‘Baadshah’ and ‘Nayak’ which are purely based on machismo of these two young heroes. However, when seen from director’s point of view, Vinayak is surely on back foot compared to Srinu Vytla’s winning spirits of ‘Dookudu.’ So, the first two positions for Sankranti are full. Now, it is time for other heroes to announce their release dates. This is the most favorable period for which producers wait throughout the year.

Devudu Chesina Manushulu Review
by sai
| |
Behind the Movie DCM: Surely a combination of Raviteja, Ileana and Puri Jagannath looks promising. With an interesting title and good music, let us see how far Puri repeated his magic?
In the Movie DCM: Story begins with Goddess Lakshmi Devi (Kovai Sarala) requesting husband Vishnu Murthy (Brahmanandam) to narrate a story. Then Vishnu begins to show her a live love story between two orphans, one Raviteja (Raviteja) in Hyderabad and two Ileana (Ileana) in Bangkok. While Raviteja is a mediator who resolves petty issues between any two parties, Ileana is a taxi driver.
Now, Lakshmi Devi takes the task of bringing these two personalities together with her screenplay using an ‘Arati Thokka’ thrown by a stranger Papayya (MS Narayana). This ‘Thokka’ leads to Jubilee Hills Circle Inspector Subba Raju (Subab Raju) accidentally killing Sandy, a key member in Prakashraj (Prakashraj)’s mafia gang operated from Bangkok. Prakashjaj burns to take revenge on Subba Raju. To escape from the clutches of Prakashraj, CI Subba Raju sends Raviteja to Bangkok for a settlement where our hero obviously has to fall in love with Ileana. During the final negotiations, Prakashraj asks Raviteja to give Ileana for one night pleasure which results in small misunderstandings between these new lovers.
Taking the cue from Lakshmi Devi, now Vishnu wants a complete rewind of story and he doesn’t want that ‘Arati Thokka’ to be thrown by Papayya. So, story begins again from the first. As the beginning, CI Subba Raju and Raviteja both go to Bangkok for arbitration with Prakashraj in order to leave Sandy from Police Custody. Then it is time for taxi driver Ileana to again fall in love with Raviteja. The new twist here is Prakashraj senses a ‘Sisterly’ feeling in Ileana and he does not want her to marry a broker like Raviteja. Meanwhile, Subba Raju plays the spoilsport with Thai Police and arrests Prakashraj. Will Raviteja and Ileana get united forms the climax!
Values of the Movie DCM: The only value of this movie is Puri Jagannath’s innovative storyline which is inspired from a Tamil movie ’12 B’ of 2001 or Gwyneth Paltrow’s 1998 released ‘Sliding Doors.’ Apparently, Puri failed in presenting the same on screen. Of course there are few patches where Puri left his mark as a writer but as a director he was unconvincing. Screenplay goes haywire as we proceed into second half. Sam K Naidu’s cinematography is full of regular cum trademark Puri film camera angles. Editing by Sekhar is also habitual. Raghu Kunche’s music was good for a couple of songs and background was hilarious when he used some peculiar Thai words. SVCC and BVSN Prasad’s production values are appreciative.
Performance wise Raviteja slowed down his mass mannerisms to an extent delivering a settled act. Now and then, he went overboard but majority of time suppressive. Ileana looked glamorous and hot in songs. Prakashraj was at his general ease. Subba Raju got a lengthy character. Ali as Goli was bearable first but then became monotonous. Finally, the kind of ending Puri gave for Goili’s role is message oriented and purposeful. Brahmi and Kovai are completely in opposite shades from their conventional attitudes. While Jyothi Rana was red hot as Prakashraj keep, Fish Venkat did his part well and MS Narayana was for name sake.
Out of the Movie DCM: Basic problem with this project is commercialization of an experimental subject. Puri scored full marks for his dissimilar thinking with a new storyline. In execution part, he was completely dilly dallying. Neither there was a feel nor did he do any well conceived scenes. Drama looks dull and boring, especially in second half. Out of universe, the brother-sister bonding developed between Prakashraj and Ileana was more cynical. Even the placement of songs was completely rubbish. The way ‘Orphan’ emotion was used throughout the movie was silly. DCM stands as one more confusing project from Puri.
First half was far better than second half. When the exact lock in story gets revealed just before the first half, it is left for audience to visualize a much better show. In contrast, Puri lost his logic and thus magic. Commercially, it might be tough for DCM to connect with any set of audience. However, Puri will get some respite because his thought was to break a new ground by penning a single line story in two different formats which got misfired.
