Paruchuri Murali is happy that Adhinayakudu is being described as a family drama. When he wanted to make a film with Balakrishna, he ventured out with the endeavour of presenting him in three different shades. "The character of Harischandra Prasad reminds one of Vivekananda. That's how much idea he is. Balakrishna's performance is being highly appreciated. We have not criticised anyone in the film. Adhinayakudu has nothing to do with...

So, Balayya's fans must brace up to receive the Yuva Ratna with full josh. That the film's climax scenes are tinged with political colours should make 'Adhinayakudu' all the more important. Much like NTR, who made a political statement...

If you are a die-hard fan of NTR, 'Dammu' is the film you should watch at least twice. It is because NTR's intense performance in the second half raises the roof, he wins the war with his frown look intact, delivering a brilliant acting output throughout. It is sumptuous meal for Nandamuri fans out there. All the same, Dammu is dyed with blood, it is milk and water, which means...

NTR was a bit worried when Dammu generated a so-called 'divide talk' on the first day. By the sixth day, the film collected Rs. 31 cr.

If you have already watched Dammu, Karthika Nair doesn't need a fresh introduction. Three years after her first Telugu release, Josh, failed to give her notice, the daughter of yesteryear star heroine, Radha, has bounced back in the NTR-starrer. Although the 20-year old had a super hit in Rangam (2010), it was not a straight film. As was advertised by the makers, the tall actress danced well in the film....

The distributors and exhibitors of 'Dammu' cannot ask for more. The film is not threatened by even a whiff of competition in AP...
