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.

Chiru's Brain Wash Is Working On Charan!

Many mega fans feel that Megapower Star has surpassed Mega Star in many aspects, but the star himself never feels like that. See how his father's brainwash worked on him to get back on track.

RamCharan's rocking career took a slump all of a sudden with his hyped movie 'Orange' going rotten at Box Office. Even before this movie, he has taken considerably long time to commit a film as he basked in the glory of 'Magadeera' for months. After 'Orange', Charan signed 'Merupu' which got no lightning but sound in it. There came Chiru to put things on track. Apparently, Chiru brainwashed his star-kid to not waste time by thinking unnecessarily about quality and meaningful cinema. Megastar forced Charan to accept 'Racha', because he knows the power of mass-movies quite well.

With those tips given by dad, Charan is now shocking everyone with his travelling through multiple projects at same time after scoring a hit with 'Racha'. He is going to work back to back on VV Vinayak movie, Yevadu and Zanjeer. What do you say guys?

Ram Charan kept his word given to fans

Ram Charan has given his nod for the 50 days celebrations of his action entertainer 'Racha' in Kurnool on May 24th. The film opened to an earth shattering collections and it is still going strong in its third week at the Box Office. It also broke the first day, first week records and sealed its place in the list of Top 3 highest grossers in the Industry.

It may be recalled that the audio launch of 'Racha' was about to take place in Kurnool. But due to some issues, the makers had changed the venue to Hyderabad. The local Mega fans had expressed their displeasure at that time over the last minute change of venue. To calm down the fans, Charan has assured to them that the 50 days function will be held at Kurnool. Now, he kept his word and gave them a reason to celebrate.

It was in Kurnool (Lakshmi theatre), Charan's magnum opus 'Magadheera' ran for 2 years at a strecth, which is touted to be a rare record in the Industry. Currently, Racha team has been scouting the venues for the 50 days function of the film in district. Let's hope that the 50 days celebrations would be as big as its audio launch!

Bloody Fights Between Mega and Mahesh Fans

Nellore, Narthaki Centre has become witness for the clashes of Megastar's and Superstar's fans. Reports say that 'records' are the reason for the conflicts between these two fan groups.

When overwhelmed fans of Ram Charan tried to erect flexi-sign board, which state the records of his recent movie 'Racha', Mahesh Babu's admirers obstructed it. They too wanted to erect another sign board that claims all 'Racha' records are bogus and only 'Dookudu' 'Businessman' records are true. With a fight erupting between the two groups, their supporters joined at large to make it a big scene, which eventually led to fighting with sticks. Police have turned up at the scene on time and have taken situation under control according to reports.

Film Nagar is shocked with these happenings in Nellore and big-wigs are saying that fans are going over-board in promoting their heroes. Let us hope stars will interfere into the matter and cool down the issue.

Top 3 spot confirmed for Racha!

Mass movies will never impress critics and they don't get better reviews from anyone, but if they strike the right chords with the target audience, then sky is the limit. Most of the frontline critics have written off Racha as a poorly made film, but they failed to read the commercially viable elements in the film. That is the reason why the film got super hit talk right from the first show.

Other heroes fans and the people who have written it off waited for the film to slow down after first weekend. But Racha's racha continued until the first week records were shattered. Even then it hasn't slowed down. The collections on 13th day are steady without a hint of drop. 2 weeks collections of Racha will stand above 2 weeks collections of Businessman, which is currently in the 3rd spot in all time hits list.

After Magadheera (70+ crores), Dookudu (55+ crores) only Businessman managed to cross 40 crore mark and it is right now in the third position. But Racha is going to take its place for sure as per the collections trend. There will not be any strong opposition for Racha in its third week too. Therefore the dream run will continue until Dammu arrives. Which means Racha in all probabilities will make it to top 3 list. Of course if Dhammu clicks and reach the expectations then Racha's third rank would be at stake. Who knows even Dookudu might be toppled if not Magadheera.

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!

Racha collects record first week share

Ram Charan has set a new benchmark in terms of collections with his recent outing 'Racha'. The film which was released on April 5th turned into a money spinner at the Box Office.

In just one week, the film has raked in Rs 26.92 crore in AP and Karnataka. If the revenues of Overseas, Tamil Nadu (Tamil version Ragalai) and Rest Of India are included, then the first share will be nearly Rs 35 crore. In it's full run, the collections of Racha are expected to cross the 50 crore mark. So, it's celebration time for the Mega fans!

Ram Charan slaps in the face of Critics

The success of Racha might have given a reason for the fans to be happy, but it's definitely not a good news for the critics as their prediction turned wrong. On the first day of release itself, the film was written off by critics. Despite average content and not so encouraging reviews, 'Racha' broke the existing records in the first week.

However, the critics were not ready to give the credit to the film or it's team for the record collections, instead blaming the audience for making it success. "The success of 'Racha' is proof for the bad taste of Telugu people. Encouraging such films (5 songs, 5 fights, editing lapses and illogical scenes) is like given license to few more meaningless projects," commented a senior film critic.

On the other hand, the unit of Racha slam the critics. "Right from its inception, the team of Racha never claimed that they are making a completely different or thought provoking film. All that they said was that their film is a commercial entertainer targeted to please the fans. Giving what people expect/want from us is always the right thing to do. We make films for the Audience, not Critics," said a source close to Charan.

The success of Racha has taught a lesson to the critics - 'Audience Are The Bosses', as they are the ones who can make or break a film! It's like a slap in the face of Critics!

Racha doubles Expectations on Gabbar Singh

Ram Charan's Racha has been doing exceptional business all over. There is no noticeable drop in collections even after seven days. The film is running to packed houses despite being released in many theaters. Mega fans are extremely happy with Racha's success and they are now eagerly waiting to watch Gabbar Singh's Racha at BO.

When Ram Charan's average movie can do these many wonders with a wide release, what can Pawan's film do with a good talk? This is the hottest discussion topic among the Tollywood lovers. None of Pawan's movies received good positive talk on the first day in the last decade. Even then Pawan's craze has been multiplied irrespective of his films performance.

Even other heroes fans agree that Pawan has immense craze and all he needs is a decent talk to pull off a blockbuster. Gabbar Singh looks more than promising in that aspect. Hence, fans are confidently saying that Racha is just a trailer and Gabbar Singh will show the real movie to one and all.

Businessman records shattered!

No one has given a chance for Racha to surpass Businessman's first week records as the film had no pre release hype and due to the less known director. However, Racha surprised even hardcore fans of mega family and turned out to be a massive hit this summer. As per early estimates the film collected Rs. 25 crores share only in AP in first week.

All India share will be around Rs. 28 crores and the worldwide first week share will be more than Rs. 30 crore. This is the genuine first week record for any Telugu movie. Racha has beaten Businessman's record by a good margin emerged as the new number one opener for Tollywood. Producers of Racha didn't get into the fake game and have been announcing real figures and in reality Racha is the new record holder.

Now any movie that releases after Racha has a real record to target. Dammu and Gabbar Singh are the big releases coming very soon and let us see what happens !

Ram Charan no more a one-film wonder

The success of Racha has not only given a grand start to the Tollywood in the summer season but for Ram Charan as well.

Although Ram Charan proved his mettle as an actor with magnum opus Magadheera, most of the credit for the film's success has gone to SS Rajamouli. Finally, Racha has showcased the actual calibre of Ram Charan and its success is also a proof of his strong following among the masses. Though Sampath Nandi is not a big name in the Industry, Charan pulled it off with his star power. It's once again proven that directors can make commercially viable films, but the reach and the collections depend mostly on the heroes.

With this success, Charan got rid of the 'one-film wonder' tag and also sent indications that he is a hot contender for the No.1 slot. Who doesn't want to be on the top? Mahesh and NTR - Are you watching?
