Total Collections of Mahesh Babu's Dookudu

Just to recap on my review for Dookudu, lets see why was my rating for the movie is just 3.75/5.

Though the performance by Mahesh Babu was at top notch....

"Mahesh was as usual brilliant in every frame, whether it may be the timing in dialogue delivery or conveying a message with an expression on his face. His Dances were apt and Fights were great."

....this movie is not a great one like Mahesh's Athadu (or) Pokiri, but due to the festive season and release timing - Dookudu made good collections and stood as the best of 2011.

"Father-Son Sentiment Mixed with Action & Comedy episodes is the plot for this movie. Taking and Screenplay (1st Half) - with hilarious comedy, action sequences and punching dialogues were mind-blowing, but weak narration and screenplay in the 2nd Half, might restrict "Dookudu" to re-write the records of Magadheera or of that matter Pokiri. Weak Story, Music and Lyrics are the other set of draw backs apart from Direction for Dookudu"

And as I mentioned earlier, Dookudu is not that movie - which can break all the existing records...

"Most of the talent was wasted in Dookudu, by taking too many artists in the movie. Lack of clarity and control on the script resulted just another normal hit for both Mahesh and Seenu Vytla. Certainly missed a better opportunity of breaking records! So Seenu Vytla doesn't deserve to be a top league director.. What do you Say?"

HT Correspondent, Hindustan Times

New Delhi, January 03, 2012

India’s second-largest motorbike manufacturer Bajaj Auto Ltd (BAL) on Tuesday unveiled its long-awaited compact passenger vehicle RE60, just two days before the start of the Delhi Auto Expo. The company, however, insisted it was not a car and was intended as a step forward for three-wheeler owners. 

“We are not trying to make a car but a four wheeler meant to ferry people in cities,” said Rajiv Bajaj, managing director, BAL. “It is not an incremental but dramatic improvement over a three wheeler. There are over 5 million Bajaj three wheelers in the country today. Thats the market we are aiming for.”

Fate of Tollywood (2011) - Chaitanya Kumar Vummethala

We eagerly wait for the results and individual rankings after writing exams (in academics), similarly in the world of telugu cinema (tollywood) this is the time to assess who did the best and what actually happened in the entire game - last year (i.e., in 2011)!

My brief analysis on Tollywood 2011, goes like this: 
To quickly start - there were about 116 straight telugu movies released in 2011, in addition to 126 dubbing movies (from all other languages) being dumped in Andhra Pradesh. Don't surprise by looking at this number surpassing the actual number of straight movie releases (though it's pity, is very common in this industry).

While the budget and collections of a particular movie is always unknown to the end movie lover (audience), even I don't want to get deeper into it (I am also one of the end movie lover) rather would love to express my opinion on the main motive of the movie and its influence on the common audience, i.e., making money (at least recovering the investment) by entertaining movie lovers, which is the ultimate motive of the commercial cinema. 

Though the above numbers summing to 242 (116+126), I chose to rate only 88 flicks (combining both category of movie releases), 70 Straight and 18 Dubbed Movies (these 88 being properly populated and promoted by its makers and created some expectations on the movie). The rest of 154 Movies are not even eligible to spend time on! Even makers opted not to spend money to promote these movies (they are already aware that these flicks are not going to yield profits for them, so they opt to keep quite - instead of spending more money on such useless movies).

Note: In case (or) By mistake if I missed any of the useful / good movie, I am sorry and please inform me by writing a small comment under this post, so that I will include such movies in the below table and change the entire dashboard!

I wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year 2012

I wish everyone should have a Super Hit, Blockbuster, Entertaining, Happy & Prosperous New Year 2012!! 

It is possible with your own efforts and I wish everyone should make it possible!!
