Dammu beats Racha by huge margin!

NTR's summer release Dammu has already started showing signs of creating a tsunami at the box office. The film is going to release in record number of theaters across the globe. Dammu is going to be screened in almost all the screens in Guntur and Vijayawada on the first day, except for the theaters playing Racha.

Dammu is all set to create new record for release centers in Karnataka state. Recently a GO was passed lifting away the limitations of other language films release in Karnataka. Racha was the first to be benefitted with it. It was released in about hundred theaters in Karnataka on first day. Due to gigantic release, Racha raked in more than 2 crores share in first week from Karnataka alone.

Now Dammu is going to release in more than 150 theaters in Karnataka thus beating Racha record by a huge margin. If Dammu gets positive talk then the first week share from Karnataka will be huge. Odds are fully in positive of Dammu to set a new record in opening day collections. If everything is in its favor, it will beat Racha first week collections record to be the numero uno in first week records.

Pressure On Boyapati For Budget Recovery

Boyapati Seenu has become a sought after mass-director to deal with action oriented mass movies in the likes of VV Vinayak. His latest movie's producers are said to be forcing him a bit to recover the whole budget.

While it is known to everyone that Boyapati's previous three films, Bhadra, Tulasi and Simha are stupendous hits, reports say a different angle about them. Other than 'Simha', his rest two movies have incurred losses for distributors in a couple of places. Insiders are saying that his upcoming movie 'Dammu' producers are pressurizing him to trim the second half of this flick. Say it 'Bhadra' or 'Tulasi', both go a bit over board regarding sentiment and this may not work with Jr.NTR, the producer has felt like.

It is heard that the producers of 'Dammu' are leaving no stone unturned to recover their complete investment in first week itself irrespective of movie's fate. Critics feel that forcing a director to do some unsatisfied cuts for the sake of budget recovery may not go well. When director looses pace of his movie with these trimmings, results may come out different. Wait for 'Dammu' to know more.

Ntr’s Dammu Movie is a Family Entertainer

Jr.NTR’s most anticipated film Dammu has wrapped up the censor formalities and is set for a release on April 27 on a grand scale in record number of theaters.

Boyapati Srinu who is riding high with 100% success rate has wielded the megaphone for Dammu.
The film is being regarded as an out and out mass entertainer by many but the film’s presenter KS Rama Rao says that Dammu is a family entertainer that has commercial elements.

He says that the film has good commercial elements that can be watched by entire family.
Trisha and Karthika played the leading ladies in Dammu. Jr.NTR and the other unit members of Dammu are quite confident on the outcome while NTR’s fans are expecting not less than a blockbuster from Dammu team. Let’s hope the Dammu lives up to the expectations.

Will 'A' certificate damage 'Dammu'?

The most talked about movie of the summer season is 'Dammu' and this has young tiger Jr NTR in the lead while Boyapati Srinu is the director. Now, for any movie, the censor certificate plays a key role and 'Dammu' has been given a clean 'A' certificate owing to its heavy violence and bloodshed.

The cine pundits are speculating over the chances of an 'A' damaging the film's collections. As such, 'Dammu' is touted as a full length commercial masala entertainer so it is meant for the masses. But the certification would damage Dammu in the way family audience avoid it.

However, there are many films which got 'A' but still scored blockbusters. And 'Dammu' has the potential to be one. In a way, the censor certificate has got an indirect impact on the public feel but with NTR's fan following and the tremendous hype created for it, 'Dammu' might show its Dammu at the box office.

NTR got punished with 'A' for refusing cuts

Jr NTR's action entertainer Dammu has completed its censor formalities on Thursday. The film was awarded an 'A' certificate, as the makers refused for the cuts suggested by members of the board.

According to the censor officials, the film contains several scenes with extreme violence, bloodshed and provoking dialogues. So, the members have suggested many cuts for issuing an U/A certificate. However, Dammu team refused to chop the scenes as it wouldn't go down well with the masses and so they are forced to settle with an 'A'. This A certificate will have an impact on the overall collections, as the family audience prefer to stay away from such films.

Huge expectations were riding on the film and the theatrical trailer received tremendous response. Three more trailers will be released starting from 20th of this month as part of the promotional campaign. A massive release of the film have been planned on April 27th worldwide. Nandamuri fans were hoping that NTR will regain his lost glory with Dammu. Let's hope there wish comes true!

    As NTR has mighty following in the mass audience, this movie is completely for them. Though this movie had mixed with some family emotions over-violence may affect the family audience.
    Trisha just looked like aunty again. Her pair with Tarak was not too good. Indeed Tarak dominated her with this glamour itself in this movie.

Interval Dialogue:

    NTR to Nazar:  "Charithra ni emana nee amma kanindhaa raa.. Charithra srushtinche vaadu epudu cheppi raadu.. Vasthadu....Charithra Srushtishatu.. Vellipothadu"..


Final Word:

    Young tiger is back with his mass masala action for his die hard fans. This movie will surely satisfy the hunger of Nandamuri fans who were waiting for mass movie after Simha.

'Baadshah' creating trouble for 'Dammu'

Young tiger Junior NTR is currently gearing up to arrive with the most talked about movie 'Dammu' and the film is going for a censor certificate in a day or two. However, the cine analysts are saying that the other project of NTR seems to be causing an indirect trouble for 'Dammu'.

We are talking about the film 'Baadshah' which is being directed by the jackpot hit director Srinu Vaitla. Apparently, the film is yet to commence shooting and already there is a good wave of hype being created. Due to this, the analysts believe that the focus and attention on 'Dhammu' is getting diverted.

They are suggesting that it is better 'Baadshah' holds its breath till 'Dammu' releases on April 27th and then it can take off with its hype creating exercise. 'Dammu' is directed by Boyapati Srinu and it is produced by Alexander Vallabha. The leading ladies are Trisha and Kartheeka.

NTR’s 'Dammu' to be censored on Apr 20 or 21

Young Tiger NTR’s latest movie 'Dammu' is gearing up for April 27th release. As 27th is a friday, first week of this movie will have seven days with record no of prints giving scope to rake in extra bucks. Producer K  S Ramarao is being aggressive in his promotional campaign. Boyapati Srinu is the director. 

Dammu is likely to cross the last hurdle prior to release on April 20th or 21st. The movie will be censored on any of these days. Trisha and Karthika paired up with NTR for the first time in this movie. Recently released Dammu trailers are raising high hopes on the film. Audio songs are already rocking the charts and Nandamuri fans with positive  reviews.

NTR is the next Number 1

In January, when Mahesh broke records with Businessman, right after scoring a blockbuster with Dookudu, many felt that he is the next number one hero of Tollywood after Chiranjeevi. When Mahesh fans firmly believe in their star's potential and when other heroes fans are slowly getting convinced by it, in came Racha and the debate about number one is on again.

Ram Charan posed serious doubts to the people who have written him off from the number one race. With a very weak script and an almost unknown director Ram Charan pulled off a mega heist at the box office with Racha. This shows his caliber and crowd pulling capabilities. Now who all have given full credit to Rajamouli for Magadheera's success are giving Ram Charan his due. As of now anybody among Mahesh, Pawan, NTR and Charan can be the next number one.

Only thing that counts is consistency. Mahesh never delivered more than couple of hits in a row. Pawan used to be immensely consistent in the past and NTR's biggest weakness has been inconsistency. Charan needs to deliver a series of hits to be up there. Until then whoever breaks the first week records with their star power will be considered the number 1 until some other hero come and breaks it. NTR is in the queue and stands a big chance to be the next number one as per this theory. All he needs is a 30+ crore share in the first week!

'Dammu' Finalizes NTR's Berth In TDP?

Jr.NTR is staying away from Telugudesam Party's affairs from a long time. Though reasons are not known behind his staying back, insiders revealed that everything is now linked with the fate of 'Dammu'.

More than their policy making skills and political gaming abilities, actors are very best at pulling crowds for meetings. Junior too did his bit during 2009 election campaigning, but failed to woo the voters. The loss of TDP in that election might have kept him at bay. Insiders say that if he scores as a mass leader with 'Dammu' and the film becomes huge hit, there are chances for him then to take party's canvassing job back on shoulders.

Jr.NTR's political career is now directly linked to the potential of 'Dammu', if at all he wants to do something with politics. Rumors are abuzz in industry that Junior wants to keep off from politics for the next couple of years. Let us see what happens!

Mahesh gives heavy jolt to 'Ruler' NTR!

Jr. NTR will be starring in the film Baadshah under the direction of Srinu Vytla. This title has been getting tremendous response from NTR fans as it is very powerful. Buzz has it that this title was registered for Mahesh Babu. With Dookudu his fans fondly called him Box office Baadshah and it would have been perfect had he done the film with this title.

But NTR was adamant in getting the title and Srinu Vytla somehow convinced the title holders and got the rights of Baadshah. Now it is payback time for Mahesh Babu as the buzz says that he will be doing a film titled Ruler under Boyapati Srinu direction. Ruler word became hugely popular among NTR fans with the powerful song in Boyapati's upcoming film Dammu.

NTR fans expected NTR to do a film with this title. However, Boyapati Srinu is planning to do his next film with Mahesh in the lead. That film will be titled Ruler, as per the filmnagar sources. Hence the Baadshah gets unexpected shock from 'Ruler' Mahesh.

Boyapati's 'B-I-L' sentiment for Dammu

Sentiments and cinema industry go hand in hand. This starts right from the title finalization to the cast and crew. And then there are those directors who tend to have character sentiment in the film too. One such person seems to be the mass hit director Boyapati Srinu and here is an interesting bit about him.

It is heard that Boyapati has got the sentiment of having a 'Brother-In-Law' who essays an important role in the plot of his film. In his debut venture 'Bhadra' Boyapati had Deepak in the role of 'BIL' and he played a crucial role. The same formula was followed for 'Thulasi' which had Sivaji as the brother of Nayantara.

And even the last venture of Boyapati was 'Simha' which had Rehman as the BIL for Nandamuri Balakrishna. Now, Boyapati is arriving with the film 'Dhammu' and it is heard that Thottempudi Venu is essaying the key character of Brother-In-Law to young tiger Junior NTR. Let us see how the sentiment works this time.

Jr Ntr Is Just Excited About Two New Films

NTR’s much awaited film ‘Badshah’ in the combination of director Srinu Vaitla and producer Ganesh Babu is expected to hit floors very soon.

This Parameshwara Arts’ action entertainer will be mainly shot in Italy and other parts of Europe. Kajal Agarwal is pairing up with NTR once again. SS Thaman will score the music.
Both Kajal and Thaman earlier worked with NTR in ‘Brindavanam’. While he appears to be excited about this project, on the other hand he is also very curious about the release of his latest film ‘Dammu’.

NTR's Dammu story is copied..

NTR Jr. fans are having high hopes on Dammu to prove their matinee idol's real capacity at the box office. Dammu is all set to release on April 27 in a grand way. It might be released in record number of theaters across the globe. With so many expectations riding over the film there are as many rumors being circulated about it.

If the buzz is to be believed, Dammu story was copied by Boyapati Srinu from a Malayalam film Aaraam Thampuran. Mohan Lal played the lead role in this film which was released 14 years ago. Almost seventy percent of Dammu's story is directly lifted from Aaraam Thampuran says the buzz. This Malayalam film has a very good story and has ample scope for hero elevation.

If Dammu is really copied from Aaraam Thampuran then it should be good news to NTR fans. Why because, with Boyapati's special touch, it can become a huge hit like Narasimha Naidu. It has a good blend of family sentiment and heroism. If Boyapati gets his screenplay right then sky is the limit for this subject.

Dammu Vs Gabbar Singh

After Ram Charan's 'Racha', these two are the big movies in list that can shake the summer Box Office of Tollywood. With days inching for their release, here is a spotlight on the two sides of 'Dammu' and 'Gabbar Singh'.

Dammu: After scoring two flops last year, Jr.NTR is coming out with an out and out mass masala movie this time. Already, songs and trailers have brought the required craze for this movie though they don't look crazy. However, Trade pundits say that a mass hero doing regular masala stuff under the direction of another mass-director will have all the chances of becoming hit or flop. With NTR all over the trailers, one cannot expect how Trisha and Karthika sizzled on the screen.

Plus Points: Jr.NTR, Boyapati Sreenu, Dialogues and Dances

Gabbar Singh: Pawan Kalyan's fans are waiting from a long time for a hit that can last decades. Songs and teasers of the movie are rocking with high octane energy of Pawan. The generally silent and soft Pawan, if delivers a punch dialogue and performs mass-steps for crazy beats, one can expect the fate of that movie easily. Other than heroine Shruti Hassan, all other technicians are highly proved ones in terms of giving commercial hits.

Plus Points: Pawan Kalyan, Devi Sri Prasad's music and punch dialogues.

One has to wait for these two movies to hit screens for knowing the actual fate of 'Dammu' and 'Gabbar Singh' anyway.

NTR's Love-Interest plays emotional card for offers

Fading actress Trisha, who is playing the love interest of NTR in Dammu, has played emotional card to get media attention.

The actress has shed tears on the last day of shoot for Dammu. When quizzed about the same, Trisha's mother Uma Krishnan said, "Trisha is an emotional person. She couldn't control herself on the last day after the shooting was wrapped up as she is attached to the unit members".

However, Industry sources say this might be a ploy of the actress to garner media attention. Of late, filmmakers were not showing any interest in Trisha. Infact, Dammu was offered to her only after Shruti Hassan walked out of the project citing date issues. She has no offers in hand after the release of Dammu. So, the actress has repeated Nayantara's Sri Rama Rajyam farewell scene, for media glare. Trisha succeeded partially by drawing the attention of media, but will this move fetches her few offers or not is to be seen!

NTR's Dammu gets the 'wholesome' tag

Young Tiger NTR's Dammu is touted to be a wholesome family entertainer. Along with the fans of NTR, this film will be a treat for the family crowds. After a long time, a big hero's film is releasing with this 'wholesome' tag.

The unit surces say, sister sentiment in the film will work big time at the Box Office. Abhinaya, the girl who took everyone by surprise with her mesmerizing performance in the film 'Shambo Shiva Shambo', has shared screen space with NTR and will be seen as his loveable sister.

The pre-release buzz of 'Dammu' is very good and this positive buzz might result in posting earth shattering opening weekend figures. If this comes true, Nandamuri fans can't ask for anything better. Indications are clear that NTR's is getting ready to roar again. So guys, wait till April 27th to have a blast!
