As expected, Mahesh Babu's Dookudu has romped home the biggest BO gross and share in its first week. Pegged at Rs. 50.07 cr. of gross (Rs. 35.01 is the share), the film's all-time huge record has become a non-pareil in the history of Telugu cinema. More over, very few South Indian films, other than those starring Rajinikanth, have managed to net this huge total in the first few days of their release.
A press release from the makers stated that the film has been setting new records in all the States where it was released on September 23. While the film has grossed the highest in hot Telugu cinema markets in Andhra Pradesh, bulldozing its way through the records earlier set by Magadheera, it has had a windfall of collections in the US market, and in the Indian States like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and others.Ravi Teja 'Srungara Deeksha'
Usually, second heroines are unsuccessful in winning the hearts of heroes. They have one or two special spicy songs with the hero and when the main heroine is not there, they give company to hero and leave. But this is not the case with Deeksha Seth. While working for ‘Mirapakaya’ as the second heroine, by the time shooting got completed, Deeksha stole the heart of Ravi Teja fully. As a result, Ravi Teja made it a point to have Deeksha as his heroine for the new film ‘Nippu’ being directed by Gunasekhar and produced by Y V S Chowdary.
It is known news that Ravi Teja gives chances only to those heroines who cooperate with him in ‘all’ ways. But unit members of ‘Nippu’ reveal that in Deeksha’s case, Ravi Teja is showing extra interest and is ‘enjoying’ the company of Deeksha completely. They are calling it ‘Ravi Teja Srungara Deeksha’.

Parvathy’s ‘Tapassu’ became successful
The one name which has become a hot topic of discussion in the film nagar area is Parvathy Melton. Fondly called as the Red Wine Beauty, Parvathy has scorched the screens with her latest item song ‘Poovai poovai…’ in the raging hit ‘Dookudu’. Now, another topic is making rounds about her. The cine folks say “Atlast, Parvathy’s ‘Tapassu’ became successful. Poor girl…she was promised the lead role in ‘Khaleja’ opposite Mahesh Babu. That’s when director Trivikram told her to cut down on her weight and look slim. Parvathy did that sincerely but she got cut from the movie. Of course, she immediately left India to come out of that upsetting experience.”
They added “But her desire to romance Mahesh Babu got fulfilled and in a better way. She has been maintaining the same slim figure that she developed for ‘Khaleja’ and showed her curves in ‘Dookudu’. Also, she got to pair with Mahesh. Imagine what would have happened if she was the heroine in ‘Khaleja’. The film became a dud and her career would have been in doldrums. But now, Parvathy has bounced back with a bang and her ‘Tapassu’ really paid off.”

Ramcharan's childish mentality
Though he comes across as rather matured and balanced kind of man, the fact is Ramcharan is still a young lad. This is being noticed by those who have been inviting him to public events. Apparently, those who wish to invite Chiranjeevi are now switching to Charan since the megastar is caught up with his politics. Now, these invitations seem to have pumped some air into Cherry. Many are saying that he has begun to act like Chiranjeevi when he goes to events. Usually, Chiru had the habit of showering praises on other heroes and indicating that he wants to work with the director if he is big and from other regions.
Something similar is being applied by Charan but with some ‘Extraas’. Something like this happened during the audio release function of ‘7th Sense’ and Charan’s statements which indicated that our heroes are good for nothing when compared to Suriya, rubbed many Tollywood seniors on the wrong side. He also begged Murugudoss for considering him for next film. They are now stating that he is still a guy with childish mentality and needs to grow up. Watch out Cherry!!

Dookudu will not cross Magadheera
Since the time the talk of 'Dookudu' came in, many expected it would go past the records set by the other blockbuster 'Magadheera'. And the cine pundits also felt it is going to happen after looking at the opening weekend collections. However, the latest update is showing a different graph.
Reports are arriving from different collection centers that the collections have taken a dip. While the Telangana region is stuttering due to the constant chaos of the bandhs and Rasta Rokos, even the other regions are reporting a dip in the collections.
Now, the market analysts say that if this trend continues then the 'Dookudu' frenzy will be down by this weekend. Already, the hype has begun for 'Oosaravelli' so it is looking obvious that 'Magadheera' will still be ruling the top slot for some more time.

Mahesh Is Now Million Dollar Star!!
So far, he has been called as the prince of Tollywood but now he is getting a new title and that too from USA. We are talking about Mahesh Babu and the buzz is that his new title is Million Dollar Star. Yes, the reason for this is the collections of Mahesh’s latest movie ‘Dookudu’ in overseas.
It is heard that the film amassed a whopping 1 million US dollars within the first two days in USA. So now, the producers of his next movie such as RR Venkat of ‘The Businessman’ and Dil Raju of ‘Seetamma vakitlo sirimalle chettu’ (starring Mahesh Babu and Venkatesh) are reportedly demanding 1 million US dollars for overseas rights of the film.
While this is sounding exorbitant, there is also a talk that few distributors overseas are already preparing themselves mentally to cough up such huge money and grab the rights at the earliest. At this rate, Mahesh will be redefining the economics of overseas Tollywood box office in his own way.

NTR fans angry on Oosaravelli producer
Young Tiger NTR who enjoys huge fan base seems to be a happy man now-days after delivering hits like Adurs and Brindavanam. Now, he is looking forward to score a hit with Oosaravelli which is slated for release on October 6. The news is that fans of NTR are ranting on Oosaravelli producer BVSN Prasad and AP distributor RR Movie Makers for not doing movie promotions and enough publicity for their hero’s movie. They feel many people in AP are not even aware of the film's release date. Fed up with these acts the fans are trying to contact hero NTR on this issue.
NTR is taking utmost care on the film and the actor himself is taking active part in publicity. Though the fans are happy for it but they are expecting the producer to start some extensive promotion like Dookudu producers. For any big hero’s film to garner huge openings publicity should be there but for Oosaravelli things are not running in favour of NTR and his fans.
