2007 began on a happy note but towards the end of the year, flops flowed. Of the total 102 straight Telugu films released this year, only six films are blockbusters and six other movies made money. There were no trendsetting movies this year. Films that became blockbusters are all neatly packed commercial entertainers.

Allu Arjun and director Puri Jagannadh’s Desamuduru was the first film to hit the screens this year and it collected more than Rs 20 Crores. Puri had continued his success streak with this movie until he slipped off with Chirutha later.

While the ‘numero uno` star of Tollywood, megastar Chiranjeevi could not taste success with Shankardada Zindabad, NTR, who was going through rough patch, bounced back with Yamadonga. The film went to become the biggest grosser of 2007. It is estimated that the film touched Rs 30 Crores figure. Yet, the real star of this year is none other than the Venkatesh. He had two films this year – Adavari Matalaki Arthalu Verule, and Tulasi and both of them are blockbusters and collected Rs 45 Crores collectively.

Another top hero Balakrishna continued his streak of flops this year too. His Maharadhi (directed by P Vasu) could not lift his sagging career. Now he pines all his hopes on Okka Magadu that is hitting on Sankranthi 2008. Mahesh Babu too was down with luck this year. His much-hyped Athidhi that was released by UTV Motion Pictures failed miserably although it set new records in openings. His style was appreciated, though. For Prabhas, 2007 is most unlucky year. Two of his films – Yogi and Munna could not set the cash registers ringing.

Nagarjuna released his much-hyped Don on December 20th and it received thumbs down from critics although collections are encouraging. Among the smaller films that went on to become big hits, two films should be mentioned – Sekhar Kammula’s Happy Days, Srinu Vaitla directed Dhee and Gopichand’s Lakshyam. Sekhar’s campus love story became a rage among youth and the film that made with a shoestring budget of Rs 2.5 Crores collected more than Rs 12 Crores. The film’s songs composed by Mickey J Meyer are best among this year releases.

Regarding, Dhee, it released with no expectations and surprisingly made a huge impact. It established director Sreenu Vaitla who again delivered another hit this year with Ravi Teja and Nayantara starrer Dubai Seenu. Vishnu also became a star with Dhee.

Krishnavamsi’s Chandamama, EVV’s Attili Sattibabu, Charmee starrer Mantra, Operation Duryadhona, Evadaitey Nakenti, Yamagola, Seema Shastry are some of the movies that also made money this year.

Among the dubbed movies, only Rajnikant’s Sivaji became successful and rest of the 100 movies that released were damp squibs.

She is blend of both tradition and modern. She fits for every character,” said Venakesh. “ She got a character, that has scope to perform in Tulasi and her performance is out standing in this flick,” added Venkatesh,” According to filmnagar source she may play the lead lady role in his next film.

There are rumours in Tollywood that Venkatesh is considering a double role in his forthcoming film. Venkatesh hasn’t done a double role in the true sense of the term and naturally, the whole industry is waiting with bated breath to find out if the rumours are true.

It is being said at the Ramanaidu Studios that once the script is finalized, Venkatesh might formally announce the film in the coming days.

It would be interesting to see a top hero in a double role as it has been a long time since we have seen the top stars playing a dual role.

Nag’s last film in a double role was a dud and Chiranjeevi hasn’t done one in a long time. But all his earlier films have been hits.

So, we can only hope that Venkatesh too will manage to woo the audiences with a double role.

Venkatesh´s Tulasi shooting is in final stages and the audio will be released on 20th of this month. The inside sources are saying that Venkatesh´s costumes in the film ´Tulasi´ will be a sensation and people tend to adopt those designs looking at him. The film is made on the lines of action and comedy by Boyapati Sreenivas.
Last year Mahesh Babu created the same sensation in costumes with Pokiri. Now sources say that Venkatesh´s costumes are also such that they create a sensation. Let us wait and see.
Tulasi is a hatrick film for Venkatesh after ´Lakshmi´ and ´AMAV´.
