 The
festive season may have passed away with Sankranti,
but has left moviegoers of three states with many
movies to watch. The release of three mega budget movies
of three leading heroes at the same time, has left the
moviegoers and fans with high expectations to see their
'dream' hero emerge victorious. The whole industry awaits
with bated breath too.
 The
first and foremost among these is Chiranjeevi's
'Mrugaraju'. Simultaneously, Balakrishna
starrer 'Narasimha Naidu' and Deviputhrudu,
starring Venkatesh, hit the big screen.
Together these three movies are supposed to have done
a business of Rs.50 crore. The cost of production of
these pictures might have been around Rs.30 Crore. Just
three pictures doing business of such a magnitude is
a sort of record for Tollywood. These three movies will
have simultaneious release in 350 to 400 theatres in
Andhra Pradesh, as well as Karnataka and
Orissa. As all these movies happen to be made
in DTS they are taking extra precautions to select only
theatres with good sound system.
 All
eyes are set on the Chiranjeevi starrer Mrugaraju. His
fans have waited eagerly for this movie, especially
since this is his first movie after a year's hiatus.
The major attraction for this movie is an African
lion, which plays an important role. A part of the
movie was shot on location in South Africa to
bring the reality on to the screen. Perhaps this is
the first movie in Telugu to be made with such a novel
story line. "Lion is called the king of animals.
Since the hero in this movie conquers that king, he
too can be called a king, or rather king of kings",
says Devi Varaprasad, Producer of the film. Gunasekhar
directed this film, which is reported to have done
a record business.
 Venkatesh's
dual rolled Devi Puthrudu was also made with a fat budget.
This is a graphic oriented socio-fantasy movie. Kodi
Ramakrishna, past-master of Graphic films has directed
the movie. It is perhaps the first time in the history
of Indian films that any banner has used 3D virtual
sets to recreate history and fantasy all in one. This
technologically superior movie is made with a story,
which is different from the usual and with a different
narration.
 After
being successful as Samarasimha Reddy, this
time Balakrishna is appearing in a new avatar,
Narasimha Naidu. The film Narasimha Naidu is a regular
commercial film. Once again, B.Gopal, who directed
the all-time record film, Samarasimha Reddy is directing
this film. This new movie, with the combination of these
two, has created enough interest unlike the otehr Balakrishna
starrers. Balakrishna's fans are expecting more and
awaiting its fate with interest.
Every spectator is a judge for this colourful competetion
in an auspicious season. Be a part of it.
