Tollywood 2023 Half-yearly Report

Half of 2023 is already done and Tollywood rarely had super hits. With not a single big film releasing in summer, the best season was utterly wasted. The exhibitors struggled badly because of the flops which are high in number this year. Veteran actors Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna had a clash for Sankranthi and both the films ended up as money spinners. Waltair Veerayya was a super hit. Dhanush’s Sir raked huge money in Telugu and Tamil languages. Nani’s pan-Indian attempt Dasara made good money in Nizam and it was an average grosser in Andhra Pradesh. The film failed badly in all the other languages.

Dil Raju’s small film Balagam was a surprising hit of this year. Sai Dharam Tej’s Virupaksha is the only hit for Telugu cinema in this summer. The film ended up as the biggest hit in the actor’s career and it marked a perfect comeback for Tej. All the other summer releases fell flat. Among the dubbed films, Bichagadu 2 brought good profits for the buyers.

Films like Amigos, Das Ka Dhamki, Ranga Maarthaanda, Ravanasura, Meter, Shaakuntalam, Agent, Ramabanam, Ugram, Custody, Anni Manchi Sakunamule, Adipurush and others failed to live up the expectations among the Telugu releases this year.

Weekend AP/TS Box-office: Sir is a Hit, VBVK below par

Dhanush’s Sir has a very good opening weekend in the Telugu States as the film has managed to collected an estimated distributor share of 8.5 Cr. Gross numbers of the film are at 15.5 cr approx. Theatrical rights of the film are valued at 7 Cr and it has already collected way better than that and emerged as a Hit.

Kiran Abbavaram’s Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha has a below par opening weekend with about 1.8 Cr distributor share. Gross numbers of the film are at 4.50 Cr. Theatrical rights of the film are valued at 7 Cr and looking at the trend of the collections of the film it is more likely that it won’t be able to sustain today.

‘ Sir ‘ Movie Review – Right to Quality Education !

SIR Movie Review

Story :
Bala Gangadhara Tilak alias Balu ( Dhanush ) is a junior lecturer in a private college. He works for Tripathi educational institute, which adapts a few government colleges due to a government order. Balu is deployed to a rural government college in which students dropped out due to financial reasons and due to lack of awareness about good education. Balu’s aim is to improve the student’s attendance and achieve state ranks in EAMCET for his students.

Analysis :
The story premise sounds familiar as Hrithik’s ‘Super 30’ film but the comparison ends there. SIR movie deals with the Intermediate college system’s failure. Commercial educational institutes in the 1990s successfully brainwashed parents that quality education comes only with higher fees. This film narrates how private institutions had systematically collapsed the Government ones. The film also touches caste system in rural areas.

Director Venky Atluri quite often plays it to the galleries. Though the scenes are predictable, they are effective in generating emotion. APJ Abdul Kalam Sir Scene, Sai Kumar, and Police Inspector realization scenes are good. They are very forced emotional scenes like the one in which students seek bullock carts ride to go for the EAMCET exam etc. However, the core subject covers up the flaws. If the dramatization is replaced with a few creative or fresh scenes this film would have been standing out.

Production values by Sithara entertainments are good, they have promoted this film aggressively. G V Prakash background score fits into the theme.

Dhanush excelled in the lecturer Balu role. His innocent face gels perfectly with the Balu characterization. Samyuktha Menon as a biology lecturer is fine. Saikumar as siripuram village president appeared on screen after a gap, he is good. Sumanth who played A.S.Murthy character narrates the entire story from his point of view. Hyper Aadi plays a co-lecturer role and has few jokes in his work. Samudrakhani as the owner of educational institutions is good casting.

Positives:
– Dhanush performance
– Very Good subject
– Heart touching Emotions

Negatives:
-Predictable scenes
– Forced Dramatization at times

 

Verdict:

SIR is a melodramatic film with a good subject. You will root for the subject, for the underdog hero, and for students. The predictable scenes and the over-dramatization negate the good subject to an extent. Overall, a decent watch.

Telugu360 Rating: 2.75/5

Dhanush winning hearts of Telugu audience

Dhanush’s SIR film released today in theatres and the response is quite positive. The actor promoted the film aggressively even in Telugu states. Dhanush was here for the trailer launch and gave interviews for the media and attended all the promotional events in Telugu that were planned by the producer. A grand pre-release event was held and Dhanush was present

When it comes to other Tamil heroes like Vijay and Ajith, they had two big film releases in Telugu recently, but they never turned up for promotions before the release in Telugu. Even after pouring soo much money on the movie, Dil Raju was unable to pull Vijay completely for Telugu promotions. He was here only for the success party. and when it comes to Thala Ajith Kumar, he was never here.

Dhanush shows his respect to the Telugu audience and industry. The actor’s attitude is winning hearts and the film as well. Naga Vamshi from Sithara Entertainments produced the film and Venky Atluri is the director.

Trivikram Srinivas said, “I was surprised when Venky Atluri said he wanted to make the movie with Dhanush when he first narrated the story to me during covid. Thank you Dhanush for believing in the story. He literally took the movie to next level. My wife is happy with the outcome. I liked the point of education and healthcare should be available for everyone. A normal man can get worldwide recognition with education.

This movie reminds us of better the ecosystem around us. This story still relevant, though it is set in 2000. This movie stays with us for long time. Dhanush is fearless who doesn’t care about result of his movies. Let’s welcome Dhanush in a grand way.”

All eyes on Dhanush and Sir

Tamil actor Dhanush is making his straight Telugu debut with Sir, a social drama laced with all the commercial elements. Venky Atluri is the director and the response for the trailer is impressive. This would be the first Telugu film of Dhanush and the actor is all excited about the release. Dhanush also lined up two more films in Telugu and Sir would be a crucial film for the actor. The film should end up as a commercial success for sure as none of his recent films did well in Telugu. For Dhanush to be considered for many more bilinguals and to work with more Telugu directors, Sir should end up as a hit.

Sir is produced by Sithara Entertainments and Dhanush plays a school teacher in this social drama. The film is releasing on February 17th in Telugu and Tamil languages. All the theatrical and non-theatrical deals are closed recently. Dhanush will soon commence the shoot of Sekhar Kammula’s film and the film releases next year. Dhanush also signed a film for top producer Dil Raju and Kishore Reddy would direct this film.

Memes Are The Reason For Doing Sir: Venky

Memes can make you laugh and can make you scared as well. They can be a source of entertainment or engineered to promote information that is false. Do you know memes impacted a director to think differently in penning stories? It’s Venky Atluri who is known for making romantic entertainers.

The director during the trailer launch event of Sir said, “I quite often watch memes. I saw a meme that says if I make Naarappa, the second half would have been set in London. At that moment, I decided not to make love stories. I wrote the story of Sir during the lockdown and Dhanush liked the content. Everything fell into place after Dhanush accepted the movie.”

Dhanush thanked his director Venky Atluri and producer Naga Vamshi for their support. “Earlier Tamil cinema, Telugu cinema, Malayalam cinema and Kannada cinema were different. Now everyone is watching all movies. Everything has become one Indian film industry. Now you all are watching Tamil movies and we are all watching Telugu movies. This change is good actually. Now I have come to promote my Telugu movie.

This film is a story that takes place in a village on the border of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Both cultures coexist. Then I realized how close we all are. That is a wonderful thing. I am happy to act in such a story.” Dhanush also sang a song on the stage.

The trailer of Sir received an overwhelming response and assured this is going to be a wholesome entertainer with a message. Producer Naga Vamsi believes the movie will do wonders in Telugu as well as Tamil.

Trailer out for Dhanush’s Telugu-Tamil bilingual ‘Sir/Vaathi’

Trailer out for Dhanush’s Telugu-Tamil bilingual ‘Sir/Vaathi’

Dhanush’s Telugu-Tamil bilingual ‘Sir’ (Telugu)/’Vaathi’ (Tamil) directed by Venky Atluri is all set for a grand release worldwide on February 17. Ahead of the theatrical release, the film’s trailer is out now.

The movie has Dhanush essaying the role of a college teacher taking on the education mafia.

The chairman of a private educational institution announces the adoption of several government colleges to provide better education to students in rural areas. Dhanush is one of the teachers who is sent as faculty. He falls in love with a teacher played by Samyuktha Menon, and the two believe that they can do some good for the college. Dhanush, however, takes on the education mafia when he realises the real motive behind sending them to the rural areas.

Venky Atluri, who previously made youthful entertainers, has now come up with a movie that has a socially relevant message. The trailer assures a hard-hitting social drama that throws light on several issues which distress the education segment.

The dialogues are thought-provoking and at times whistle-worthy too.

Dhanush fits the part of a junior lecturer well and the role offers him various emotions that complete a commercial hero outing, and there’s more. It’s not completely a serious role. Samuthirakani plays the antagonist in the film. The presence of Hyper Aadi promises to add a good dose of comedy as well.

The film has cinematography by J. Yuvraj while the music has been composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar.

Produced by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, ‘Sir/Vaathi’ promises to be an entertainer with a message.

Dhanush Sir’s Banjara Song: Catchy Number

Hero Dhanush will next be seen in a Telugu-Tamil bilingual Sir which is slated for a release on February 17th. It’s exactly one month left for the release; thus, the makers increase the dose of promotions.

As part of musical promotions, the film’s second single Banjara has been released. GV Prakash Kumar scored a catchy number with lovely beats. Anurag Kulkarni sang this travel track pleasingly, while Suddala Ashok Teja’s lyrics are stimulating.

Dhanush’s dances are so charming in the song that shows GV Prakash Kumar and Anurag Kulkarni on a road trip. Like the track, and the vocals, the visuals are also equally fascinating.

Venky Atluri is directing this movie produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya on Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas banners.

Dhanush Sir’s Mastaaru Song: A Soothing Number

Hero Dhanush is presently starring in different projects and the film Sir directed by Venky Atluri is one among them. The movie is being made as a Telugu-Tamil bilingual. The makers offered a romantic treat by releasing the first single from the movie- Maastaru Maastaru.

Makers dismiss rumours; Dhanush-starrer ‘Vaathi’ to hit screens on Dec 2

Two-time National Award winning actor Dhanush’s Telugu-Tamil bilingual ‘Sir’ (Telugu)/’Vaathi’ (Tamil) will release on December 2 this year as announced earlier.

Dismissing rumours that claimed that the film’s release would get pushed to next year, a source close to the unit of the film said that the film would be releasing on December 2.

Leading production house Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas together are producing the high budget film on a lavish scale.

Written and directed by Venky Atluri, the film features Samyuktha Menon as the female lead.

The film is about making quality education accessible to the poor. Actor Dhanush plays Bala Gangadhar Tilak, a junior lecturer in Tripathi Educational Institute in the film.

Apart from Dhanush and Samyuktha Menon, the film also features Sai Kumar, Tanikella Bharani, Samuthirakani, Thotapalli Madhu, Narra Srinivas, Pammi Sai, Hyper Aadhi, Shara, Aadukalam Naren, Ilavarasu, Motta Rajendran, Hareesh Peradi and Praveena among others.

Tollywood producers furious on Dil Raju

Top producer Dil Raju took the initiative and suggested a strike for other producers to get things to control. He is the face of the Active Producers Guild of Tollywood and a series of meetings are planned this week to discuss about the hurdles the producers are facing. Leaving everyone in shock and surprise, the shoot of Dil Raju’s Vaarasudu featuring Vijay happened in Vizag as per the plan. Dil Raju came up with a silly explanation that Vaarasudu is a Tamil film and it is not a Telugu film.

Tollywood top producers are now furious on Dil Raju about his acts, statements and the work he has been doing. Dil Raju delivered fake promises recently. He said that he did not hike the ticket prices for Naga Chaitanya’s Thank You but the tickets were sold for high prices. Dil Raju is trolled on social media and the Tollywood media houses attacked him for his acts. Another active member of the Guild, S Naga Vamsi continued the shoot of Dhanush’s Sir and the shoot is happening in Ramoji Film City. Though the producers are tight-lipped, everyone is furious on Dil Raju and Naga Vamsi.

As discussed earlier, the Tollywood producers have to stand united to cross all the barriers and resolve all the issues. Else, the issues will never get resolved.
