The incident happened Sunday night.

The fan, Rajendra Prasad aka Raju, suffocated to death in a stampede at the audio launch that also injured some others.

Though producer Bandla Ganesh said he will donate Rs.5 lakh to Raju's family, it hasn't dimmed the anger. One wonders if it is time to stop public audio functions and what could be a possible alternative.

Filmmaker Madhura Sreedhar feels it's time to stop such events.

"I'm saddened by what happened. I feel it is high time we stop encouraging such functions because thousands of fans are wasting time traveling hundreds of kilometers to attend these events. But I believe actors should take a call on whether to hold such functions because it's their fans' lives at stake," Sreedhar said.

One of the best alternatives is to bank on live telecast, he suggested.

"If you can't do away with public audio launches, then organise smaller functions in an auditorium and issue limited passes to fan clubs across the state such that only limited audiences are attracted.

"Secondly, collaborate with one or even two television channels and live telecast the entire event, which can be watched live by lakhs of people," added Sreedhar.

The "Baadshah" event was being live telecast on TV channels, and yet it drew over 25,000 fans across the state.

"Since it was an open air function, controlling over 25,000 fans was a herculean task. We had warned the organisers in advance about the probable situation, but they said they had enough volunteers to handle the event," a police official said.

"We have been part of so many audio functions, but for stars such as Junior NTR, Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu or Prabhas, we always advice to have these events in a closed space," he added.

Actor-filmmaker Ravi Babu feels the need of the hour is to stick to a code of conduct.

"Such incidents are bound to happen if we don't have adequate safety measure. We have over 50,000 fans watching a match in a stadium, but we seldom hear about any such unfortunate event. Have we asked ourselves why? We don't hear so because these events are very well organised and non-chaotic. We need to follow a code of conduct," Ravi Babu said.

"To organise or not to have one is a call taken by a producer and actor. These functions are one of the most important promotional strategies before the release of a film and, therefore, there is no need to stop them," he added.

Poor event management skills could be one of the reasons for management failure, feels Tamil director Krishnan Jayaraj.

"If you have an event in a controlled environment with invites, then I don't see any reason for facing such situations. However, an event amidst masses can turn bitter due to poor event management skills.

"I remember for one of the audio function of a recent Tamil film, fans flocked the venue in large number, but nothing unfortunate happened because it was managed well," he said.

"We can't ban such functions but with better management we can definitely stop any accidents", he added.

We bring up what this day really means to female celebrities. Here is what they have to say:

Actor-filmmaker Lakshmy Ramakrishnan: Women's Day need not necessarily be March 8; it could very well be that day when the Lakshman Rekha in our (women) lives disappears. It's sad but true that even in the 21st century a line, which has only been pushed further with generations, controls a woman's life. As much as I believe, women should be disciplined but that shouldn't strip them off their freedom.

Actor-producer Lakshmi Manchu: I don't find any need for Women's Day because if we are trying to prove that we are different from men on this day, I find it weird. What is the need to prove that we are different from men? What is the need to declare that we are different species?

Actor Sharmila Mandre: This is a day to tell ourselves that we don't have to be scared of anything. Be it going out at a time of our preference or standing up for what we believe in, we have every reason to celebrate. On Women's Day, we can also look at the impact women have left on the country by excelling in every chosen field of their choice. By celebrating Women's Day, we are in turn celebrating the rights of women in the country.

Actor Jhansi: Taking into consideration all sorts of things happening against women in the country, it is very important that we take pride in celebrating the day. It not only gives us hope, but also reminds us that we have to move on. This is a day to stop and look back at the journey we have been through and see if we can learn something from it.

Actor Disha Pandey: The day is of utmost respect to me because it gives me the opportunity to dedicate it to the most important women in my life - my mother and grandmother. It is through this day we could educate so many families in rural India to allow their daughters, sisters and daughters-in-law to do what they aspire in life.

Filmmaker Nandini Reddy: It is one of those days to remind yourself that you are not a weaker sex. Even today, in so many places in India, women are merely discarded as weaker sex. If I can be a filmmaker, then I'm sure so many other women can excel in different arenas provided we encourage talent irrespective of sex.

Actor Shraddha Das: We don't need a certain day to celebrate Women's Day. We can celebrate it every day if women in this country are allowed to be independent financially, emotionally and mentally. It is very important for women in India to be independent in every possible way to prove that they are not weaker sex.

"The Telugu Pongal releases have gone on to be successful at the box-office. While 'Naayak' registered Rs.29.45 crore in opening four days, SVSC collected Rs.24.32 crore in four days," trade analyst Trinath said.

"Both the films did good business in the overseas market too. In its opening weekend in the US, SVSC collected Rs.6.87 crore and 'Naayak' collected Rs.2.11 crore," he added.

"Naayak", directed by V.V. Vinayak released worldwide Jan 9. It featured Ram Charan Teja, Amala Paul and Kajal Agarwal in lead roles.

"The audience lapped up 'Naayak' for its wholesome commercial presentation. Ram's star status also helped the film register bumper openings in Andhra Pradesh. The film collected approximately over Rs.10 crore on its first day in Andhra Pradesh", said Trinath.

In "Nayak", Ram Charan played the role of an angry young man fighting all wrongdoings in the society. He was lauded for his performance and dance moves.

Srikanth Addala's family-drama SVSC released Jan 11 to an overwhelming response. It featured Mahesh Babu and Venkatesh alongside Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Anjali.

"The audience loved SVSC as they felt it to be a good family movie in a long time. The response we have received since its release has been very healthy and we are happy that it is doing good business in the overseas market as well," said producer Dil Raju.

According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film crossed $1 million mark in two days.

"2013 starts with a big bang for Telugu film industry!,” he tweeted. While SVSC has collected a whopping 8.13 crores by its second week, Nayak managed to get 2.53 crores at USA Box-Office.

Be it Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun or Jr.NTR all these actors managed to do only one film in 2012. They will all hope to work faster and release as many films as possible in this year. Mahesh has signed two new films and hopes to finish and release both within the year. Likewise, Pawan Kalyan also hopes to work on multiple projects to save time.

Ram Charan will be seen in three films in 2013.

His most ambitious film "Naayak", directed by V.V. Vinayak and "Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu", another big budget multi-starrer with Mahesh Babu and Victory Venkatesh in the lead, will lock horns on the same day Jan 11.

Two other films of Ram are Telugu action-drama "Yevadu" and Hindi-Telugu bilingual "Zanjeer", a remake of Amitabh Bachchan's super hit film of the same name.

"Leading heroes will continue doing films with a predefined formula because it is safe and a rapidly growing trend in Bollywood too," said Telugu director Madhura Sreedhar.

Jr. NTR will be seen in "Baadshah", directed by Srinu Vaitla, in the summer of next year. And Venkatesh will been as a don in crime-thriller "Shadow", directed by Meher Ramesh.

Some other Telugu films to look forward to in 2013 are "Mirchi", "Auto Nagar Surya", "Bhai", "Balupu" and "Gouravam".

Meanwhile, Bollywood will continue to cash in on regional remakes, feels Srinivasan.

"The number of remakes is sure to increase this year. Bollywood will continue to cash in on regional films, both in Tamil and Telugu, as most remakes of the recent past did exceptionally good business. Most of these films comfortably made it to the Rs.100-crore club", he said.

Let's hope Tollywood Stars live up to audiences expectations in 2013 delivering good hits.

Here is our analysis of Tollywood Box-Office for the year 2012, Take a look folks!!!

2012 Telugu Hits

Mahesh Babu has started off the year with Businessman and being the immediate release after Dookudu, it earned superb openings for Pongal 2012. Siddharth’s debut production movie Love Failure made with a shoestring budget has brought him enough profits while he tasted a good success after a long time. On the other hand, Nithin who was undergoing rough phase of his career has got back his lost glory with romantic comedy Ishq while it’s the same case with Manchu Vishnu who earned success with Dhenikaina Ready. Actor Sunil scored a hit with comedy entertainer Poolarangadu in which he also flaunted six-pack abs that left many in a surprise.

The mega fans are quite happy this year with their stars scoring not less than hits at BO. While Ram Charan scored a commercial hit with Racha that garnered 45 crores plus collection figure, it’s Power Star Pawan Kalyan who took the Box-Office by storm with Gabbar Singh that has also made Harish Shankar a top-league director and the film ending up as second highest grosser of Telugu Cinema industry. Immediately after Gabbar Singh, Allu Arjun-Trivikram’s Julayi managed to entertain also getting into the list of one of the top grossers of 2012 as well as highest grosser in Allu Arjun career by making more than 42 Crores. Star director Rajamouli’s Eega lived up to the expectations and gave Telugu audiences a new experience also being Box-Office blockbuster at US box Office as well.

Low Budget winners

The year saw a bouquet of small-budget films that ended up as miraculous hits. The profits are huge for Maruthi directed Ee Rojullo and Bus Stop considering its low budget. Siddharth-Amala Paul Love Failure also falls under low budget genre. Yet another surprising hit of the year is Oka Romantic Crime Katha directed by Sunil Kumar Reddy. Ravi Babu’s directed Avunu horror thriller also made good sum, thanks to actress Poorna’s impressive acting skills.

Experiments & Critical-acclaims 2012

Star director Rajamouli’s graphical extravaganza Eega impressed tech-savvy. His big-budget experimentation was worth a watch for its brilliant execution and a great narration and audiences made it one of the biggest blockbusters of the year. It even turned a huge hit in Kollywood.  Nagarjuna has shed his stylish image and has chosen devotion flick Shiridi Sai directed by Raghavendra Rao that brought him good critical acclaims. Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum that carried powerful theme has attracted many for its meaningful dialogues. Balasubramanyam’s Midhunam earned good praises and the theaters were even being increased. Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu by Gautham Menon also got good acclaims from critics.

Highly expected yet Failed!!!

Ravi Teja had witnessed quite a number of disasters this year in the form of Nippu, Devudu Chesina Manushulu and the latest one Sarocharu. His Daruvu also failed at the Box-Office this year. Bala Krishna’s Adhinayakudu and Srimannarayana failed to set the cash registers ringing. Prabhas Rebel was one of the most expected films of the year and it garnered superb openings at the Box-Office but due to its whopping budget of over 40 Crores, the film had bite the dust and it has later landed in controversy as well with producers complaining on director Lawrence and the latter was asked to pay 2.5 crores. Manchu Manoj’s UKUP and Mr.Nookayya brought huge losses to producers. Ram-Karunakaran’s Endhukante Premanta shot in the beautiful lavish locales with a huge budget turned out to one of the disasters of the year. Nagarjuna’s Damarukam turned out to biggest grosser of his career but at the end the film failed due to its heavy budget.

Dubbed films- Not a good year

2012 witnessed nearly 100 dubbed films from Tamil, Hindi, Hollywood but neither of them managed to make their mark despite few Super Stars (Vijay, Ajith, Karthi, Suriya, Dhanush)  films hitting the screens. Vijay’s Snehithudu, Karthi’s Shakuni, Dhanush’s 3, Ajith’s David Billa, Jeeva starrer Mask, Brothers starring Suriya, Gajaraju, Nirantharam Nee Oohale were few of the Kollywood big-budget Tamil films dubbed in Telugu but  none of them turned out to be hits though Thuppakki and Brothers resulted as average grossers.

This is one of the good years Tollywood had in terms of the success ratethough few controversial issues set them back. The young actors and stars managed to bag huge openings with their craze that had helped the producers in the revenues and Tollywood is expected to reach new level in the coming years with big films, along with multistarrers to look forward in 2013.

Here is the list of the films released with good expectations in 2012…

"Eega": Who would've possibly imagined that filmmaker S.S Rajamouli can strike gold at the box office with a computer generated housefly? Undoubtedly, one of most successful films of 2012, "Eega" was an effort worth appreciation. The film may have had a wafer-thin story line, but thanks to breathtaking visual effects and impeccable acting by the lead actors, it is very unlikely to ignore it. It is the only film of 2012, which managed to be successful in its Malayalam and Hindi dubbed versions too.

"Ee Rojullo": Neither does this film boast of a star actor nor an item song. Yet, it was highly successful and well-received at the box office. The hero doesn't have a grand entry, nor does he have a glamorous heroine. "Ee Rojullo" is most probably the first film in Telugu to taste success solely with newcomers. Targeted at young adults, with romance and comedy as its ingredients, this film stands testimony to the potential of new age filmmakers. When most mega budget films are finding it difficult to even sustain for 50 days at the ticket window, this film managed to run for 175 days.

"Love Failure": A Tamil-Telugu bilingual, "Love Failure" by debutant Balaji Mohan, based on his eponymous short film, is an impressive tale of love and forgiveness. Revolving around characters in love, the film dives into the psyche, trying to bring forth the expectations of people in a relationship. Aptly performed by Siddharth and Amala Paul, this love story worked mostly because of its sensible screenplay and unusual-yet-amusing characterisation. Music by S.S Thaman and cinematography by Nirav Shah were the perfect icing on the cake.

"Avunu": Known for his offbeat films such as "Anasuya" and "Nuvvila", "Avunu" by Ravi Babu, is a taut horror-thriller that succeeds in implanting fear in the psyche of the audience without exploiting the characters in the film. Revolving around the lead character Mohini, played by Poorna, the story is about the realisation of an unknown presence in Mohini's apartment that indulges in voyeuristic pleasure. Shot under a budget of Rs.50 lakh, this film tasted success at the box office, and it is likely to be remade in Hindi soon. With no songs to entertain, it was very important for the film to keep the audience engaged and thanks to Ravi Babu, it succeeded.

"Midhunam": Based on the Telugu novel of the same name, "Midhunam", revolves around two characters played by S.P Balasubrahmanyam and Lakshmi Narayan. The story revolves around elderly couple, Appa Das and Butchi, who instead of waiting to hear from their children abroad, spend life to the fullest in the company of each other. An ode to marriage, this film harps on the importance of enjoying life's smallest triumphs with one's significant other. This film is proof to the fun and frolic married couple above 60 indulge in. Performances by S.P.B and Lakshmi were outstanding, while Tanikella Bharani's direction hits the right chord.

Here we lists three such films that are lined up to release soon.

"Yamudiki Mogudu": The film, which is named after yesteryear Telugu superhit of the same name, stars Naresh and Richa Panai in the lead roles. Sayaji Shinde plays Yama in the film which revolves around the hero and his humorous expedition to Yamalok. Interestingly, director E. Satthi Babu has introduced a fictitious family of Yama in the film, which also stars Chandra Mohan, Krishna Bhagwan, Tanikella Bharani, Ramya Krishnan and Bharath.

"Yamaho Yamaha": Popular Telugu actor Sri Hari turns Yama in this film, which is directed by Y. Jitendar. Touted to be a socio-fantasy flick, "Yamaho Yamaha" was shot majorly in the US and an important part of the story deals with Yama's visit to the US. Sairam Shankar, Sanjjana and Parvati Melton are playing the lead roles, while comedian M.S. Narayana will be seen in an important role.

"Nenu Chala Worst": This film, directed by Venkat Pampana, is not a socio-fantasy film, but will portray Yama in an important role that will be played by Telugu actor Tarakaratna. If you're given one last chance to turn wrong into right, forms the crux of the story which will highlight details about why Yama permits someone to go back to earth, when originally he's destined to go to hell. The film also stars Bhanu Priya, Murali Mohan and Jayaprakash Reddy in key roles.

Earlier this year, another socio-fantasy Telugu film titled "Daruvu", featuring Tamil actor Prabhu as Yama, was released. It featured Ravi Teja and Tapsee in lead roles.

Some of the films had already hit the big-screens like Tuneega Tuneega, Andhala Rakshasi, Ye Maya Chesave, Devudu Chesina Manushulu while few of them are under production and are set to see the limelight.

The makers are all set to catch the audience’s attention with the title itself regardless of its relevance to the story idea. Some of the recent registered titles remind us of the well-known songs like Chammak Challo, Kevvu Keka Bangaru Kodipetta and so on. Audiences quickly grab such titles as they had a strong impact with the popular songs and they get to connect to them quickly rather than promoting a new identity. Such titles will definitely hold attention since they would have already created the necessary impact.

Filmmakers are going with the chartbusters and are not in a mood to go with the mediocre song lyrics. However, few of the films could not replicate the range of song success.

Tuneega Tuneega, a hit song from MS Raju’s production movie Manasantha Nuvve made under Sumanth Arts banner is picked up as the title for MS Raju’s debut direction film introducing his son Sumanth Ashwin as hero. However, the July released film failed at the Tollywood Box-Office.

Devudu Chesina Manushulu starring Ravi Teja, Ileana is also the old film’s title besides having a popular song with the same lyrics in the NTR, Krishna, S V Ranga Rao starrer. The title of Andhala Rakshasi is of course, from the hit song from Oke Okkadu, a Shankar’s directorial.

The title of Gautham Menon’s Yeto Vellipoindi Manasu has been taken from the evergreen song from Ninne Pelladatha featuring Nagarjuna and Tabu. The song composed by Sandeep Chowta is favorite number for many melody lovers even today. Yeto Vellipoindi Manasu starring Nani and Samantha is a youthful romantic love story.

It is known that the mass beat song Kevvu Keka tuned by Devi Sri Prasad for Gabbar Singh is one of the chartbuster songs of the year. Now it has turned title to Allari Naresh’s movie to be directed by Devi Prasad. Kevvu Keka has hit the floors already. Likewise the Chiranjeevi’s song Bangaru Kodipetta composed by Keeravani and remixed for Ram Charan’s Magadheera is now picked up as the title for Navdeep-Swathi movie to be directed by Raj Pippalla.

Ravi Teja, Kajal’s Sir Ostharu/ Sir Vacharu title is inspired from the catchy track Sir Ostharosthara from Businessman composed by Thaman. Incidentally, Kajal who has sizzled for the song alongside Mahesh will now play Ravi Teja’s love interest in the movie.

Some other film titles inspired by hummable songs which had hit the screens are My heart is beating [Jalsa], Tanish’s Mem Vayasaku Vacham [7/G Brindavan Colony], Siddharth-Dil Raju’s Oh My Friend [Happy Days], Prabhas starrer Mr.Perfect [Arya2], Allari Naresh’s Aha Naa Pellanta [Maya Bazar], Vishnu Manchu’s Vasthadu Naa Raju [ Alluri Seetha Ramaraju], Nithin starrer Seetha Ramula Kalyanam [Sri Seetha Rama Kalyanam], Manchu Manoj’s Jhummandi Nadam [Siri Siri Muvva], Chethilo Cheyyesi [Bombayi Priyudu]…

The trend is not new to Tollywood as it has already started decades back and filmmaker Jandhyala has made it quite famous with films like Aha Naa Pellanta, Vivaha Bhojanambu, Chupulu Kalisina Subhavela, Jayammu Nischayammura, Bava Bava Paneeru, Prema Entha Madhuram; all of these names are the lyrics of the noted songs by then. The latest filmmakers are continuing the trend.

The list doesn’t end here and the trend is here to stay as the titles of some forthcoming movies like Dil Se, Chukkalanti Ammayi Chakkanaina Abbayi, Manasa Thulli Padake, Ringa Ringa, Oh My Love, Its My Life too are inspired by popular melodious songs.

The summer is here and the holiday season has already started. To cash on these two holiday months, the Tollywood top heroes are all set to reach the big-screens with their mass as well as cool films to entertain the audiences the most.

Majority of the releases being the mass entertainers this time is noticeable. Jr.NTR’s Dammu, Bala Krishna’s Adhinayakudu, Ravi Teja’s Daruvu, Pawan Kalyan’s Gabbar Singh, Prabhas’s Rebel and of course the recently released Ram Charan’s Racha are the major mass entertainers of summer 2012. Apart from these, Energetic Star Ram’s stylish romantic entertainer Endhukante Premanta and Star director Rajamouli’s Eega, Gautham Menon’s Yeto Vellipoindi Manasu are also most eagerly awaited films.

It’s not new for our Tollywood heroes chanting mass and commercial entertainers, and the trend keeps continuing as long as the Telugu audiences keep welcoming newly packaged old stories precisely old wine in a new bottle. Ram Charan’s Racha is one example for it.

Summer 2012 has begun with the biggest commercial release, Ram Charan’s Racha and the Mega Power Star has hit the bull’s eye this time in terms of collections. Racha has made a share of 26.92 crores in AP & Karnataka in its first week which is a huge figure. Ram Charan who has faced disaster result through urbane entertainer Orange has opted for a safe mass entertainer teaming up with Sampath Nandi and the perfect timing release of a long weekend has brought miracles to Racha unit. The mega fans were quite happy for showcasing Ram Charan in a way they are looking out for while the critics slammed the film for its regular content. Whatever it is Ram Charan and Racha team has tasted a great success registering the first hit this summer. Way2movies congratulates Racha unit.

Next up is Yuvaratna Bala Krishna’s Adhinayakudu expected to release in April. Paruchuri Murali directed Adhinayakudu showcases Bala Krishna in triple roles of three generations, a grandfather, a father and a son. The grandfather’s role as a politician is the most powerful one. The film shows Jayasudha, Sukanya and Lakshmi Rai pairing opposite the three. Saloni and Lakshmi Rai will provide ample glamour quotient. Despite Adhinayakudu earning positive reports from inside sources, the film has been in news for wrong reasons regarding the financial troubles. The movie produced by ML Kumar Chowdhary of Sri Keerthi Combines has been in production from long time but still failing to get the release date.

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja is gearing up to provide full-fledged entertainment this summer with a socio-fantasy film Daruvu. Ravi Teja, who is quick at wrapping up his films has completed Daruvu shoot with in a short period and entered the summer race. Siva directed the film and Burugupally Sivarama Krishna produced this socio-fantasy genre that has ample commercial elements. Tapsee played the leading lady. All of a sudden, Daruvu is enjoying huge craze due to a pretty good trailer. Ravi Teja’s mark mass entertainment can be seen in the trailers. Daruvu is gearing up for release on May 4. Ravi Teja has not scored a hit post Mirapakaya and Daruvu seem to the one to get clicked at the Box-office.

Young Tiger Jr.NTR and mass movies expert Boyapati Srinu has teamed up for Dammu that turned out to be one of the most awaited films of the season. The actor-director combination has raised the expectations on Dammu and being an out mass entertainer, NTR’s fans are awaiting for it. NTR for the first time paired up with actresses Trisha and Karthika while Alexander Vallabha produced it on Creative Commercials banner. Boyapati has knack of understanding mass pulse and he is currently in top league directors with 100% success rate while NTR has immense mass fan base and he is extremely talented in mass dialogue delivery and of course the dances which can pull heavy crowds to theaters. Dammu has the right mix of action, sentiment, dances, comedy, romance and glamour quotient. Hope Dammu releasing on April 27 lives up to the expectations.

Here comes yet another awaited film of this summer Pawan Kalyan’s Gabbar Singh. Power Star fans have been eagerly waiting for an out and out mass role from their favorite star from many years and director Harish Shankar seized the offer. Mirapakaya director who proved his mettle has shaped up an out and out mass role and penned a good number of mass dialogues for Pawan Kalyan. Ganesh Babu is producing this Dabangg Telugu remake while Harish Shankar made ample changes to the script taking just the main plot. Shruti Haasan stepped into the shoes of Sonakshi Sinha and this time it’s a new and distinct role for the lady unlike her earlier urbane roles. Already Devi Sri Prasad has scored rocking tunes and Pawan Kalyan will be seen dancing for these rocking mass beats. Malaika Arora will shake her leg for the Telugu version of Munni song that goes ‘Kevvu Keka..’ which turned hot favorite to all. Gabbar Singh has all the commercial elements and looks like we are in for a visual treat.

It’s been a year Young Rebel Star Prabhas has reached the screens. After impressing the audiences in classy roles in Darling and Mr.Perfect, Prabhas has chosen a mass entertainer titled Rebel in Raghava Lawrence direction. Tamanna and Deeksha Seth are roped in to provide the glamour quotient in the film. Rebel is being made lavishly and to be precise, the film produced by J.Bhagawana and J.Pulla Rao is the highest budget film so far in Prabhas career. As per the director, Rebel is a tailor made script for Prabhas and the director cum music director of the film incorporated all the needed mass elements in Rebel. The major shooting of Rebel wrapped up and is gearing up for a release this summer.

Energetic Star Ram and Fair beauty Tamanna’s youthful love entertainer Endhukante Premanta is one of the notable film releases this summer. Writer Kona Venkat is debuting as an actor with a negative role in the film. Love stories expert director Karunakaran has crafted the film with a cool story in an ultra stylish way and the lead actors are sure to look their best in the film.

While all the above releases are noticed due to the star actors, here comes the film Eega which is making huge pre-release buzz for its filmmaker and the star director SS Rajamouli. Despite not having star cast, Eega right from the launch has earned good craze since it’s a Rajamouli’s brand film. Just like his earlier films, the Magadheera director has revealed the storyline and as the title says Eega story revolves around a house-fly which seeks for a previous-birth revenge on the antagonist. Featuring Nani, Samantha and Sudeep in the leads, Eega is a graphical extravaganza and the makers allocated majority of its budget for visual effects. The film will be released in bilingual versions in Telugu and Tamil. We are sure Eega is worth all the hype and it would be the coolest summer release 2012.

So folks, Get set to be entertained the most in your nearest theaters this summer with the hottest mass entertainers as well as the coolest refreshing entertainers.

2011 has witnessed 116 direct movie releases at the Tollywood Box-Office which is higher than the previous year. Majority of the movies released in September (15) and December (13).
