Box office report this week --- Recent Release...!!!

 
1947 A Love Story : Arya and Amy Jackson played the lead roles in this period movie directed by A.L Vijay. The movie deals with the story of two lovers who are separated by the declaration of India's independence from the British. Amy Jackson is the daughter of the Governor of Madras and she falls in love with a local fisherman, a role played by Arya.Their love story causes a lot of anger and disgust and what follows next forms the story.
The story is revealed in intermittent flashback episodes by an old woman, an obvious take on James Cameron's titanic.
No. 5th position at the box office..
Arya and Amy Jackson are fantastic in their respective roles. Amy in particular looks gorgeous and dominates the film. Arya's comedy track and the scenes involving both Amy and Arya are a special highlight. A very authentic looking pre-independence Madras and some good screenplay add to the movie's appeal.
A wafer thin story line and absolutely no entertainment in the second half limit the movie's appeal.Even though its a period movie, not much in terms of appearance of political leaders or events that led to independence.

Money Money More Money : J.D.Chakravarthy has teamed up with Brahmanandam to revive the iconic 'Money' franchise with this offering Money Money More Money. The story revolves around the characters of Chakri and three other unemployed friends of his who decide to kidnap a girl to make some fast money. They get into the house of Khan Dada after the kidnap and take all the inmates hostage. A comedy drama unfolds as every person who makes a visit to the house is held hostage to prevent the kidnap story from leaking out till Chakri and gang get their money.
No. 4th position at the box office..
Khan Dada's cult following and the iconic success of the earlier movies in the 'Money' franchise guarantee good openings.Brahmaji comes up with a terrific performance. Some flashes of good comedy and special appearances by Nagababu, Shashank, Chakravarthy,Chandra Mohan etc keep the tempo going.
Very weak storyline and screenplay. Brahmanandam's character is wasted. This Khan Dada has no resemblance either in appearance or mannerisms to the original Khan Dada and this will upset the expectations of the audience. Weak comedy and some silly scenes spoil the experience and the movie is an insult to the original 'Money'.

Naaku O Loverundi Krishnudu and Rithika paired up for Naku oka Loverundi and the movie hit the screens as a Vinayaja Chavithi offering.A decent story and good comedy make the movie a decent watch. If not for the silly and stupid climax, this movie would have been a much better offering.
Krishnudu plays the role of a devout temple priest who falls in love with a modern and beautiful looking girl. Rithika happens to be that woman and Krishnudu becomes friends with her. When he expresses his love, Rithika is unable to accept it because of her past and some incidents that took place in her life. What those incidents are and why she is uncomfortable accepting Krishnudu's love is what the story is about.
No. 3rd position at the box office..
Krishnudu and Rithika turn in good performances. Rithika looks good on screen and makes a talented debut. Decent songs and a pretty good comedy track make the movie fun to watch in the second half.
A slow first half and a familiar story line limit the movie's appeal. A silly climax completely spoils the movie and leaves the audience feeling weird.

Kandireega : Rams latest film Kandireega has nothing new to offer in terms of its story. However, it's a well-packaged entertainer with a good screenplay and treatment. Santosh Srinivas debut film, as a director, pays homage to several films in the same genre, especially Ready, but thanks to Ram, Sonu Sood and Aksha's performance, the film ends up being a good entertainer. Thaman composed the music. The film opened with good numbers at box office and the long weekend further propelled its chances of a good run at box-office.
No. 2nd position at the box office..
Ram's energetic performance is a huge asset to the film. Along with him, Sonu Sood and Aksha steal the show, especially in the second half. Santosh Srinivas deserves a special mention for his tight screenplay and direction.The humour element in the film is well-maintained.
The first half of the film has way too many fights and the film itself is too long. Also, there are too many subplots and characters, although they do help in creating a comedy of errors. Some of the actors like Brahmanandam and Brahmaji are completely wasted in minor roles.

Bodyguard : Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor have taken the Box Office by storm this Eid with Bodyguard.The movie is the remake of a Malayalama Blockbuster with the same name. Director Siddique has done a fantastic job with the screenplay and the direction. A thorough entertainer for the whole family, Bodyguard also marks the return of Salman Khan to soft love stories,a genre that he excelled in during his early days.
Salman plays the role of a tough bodyguard who is assigned the duty of protecting Kareena Kapoor. A vexed Kareena feels suffocated and hatches a plot to throw her bodyguard off track. She taunts Salman through anonymous calls and claims to be his biggest fan. A love story that blossoms is hampered by unique twists and turns.
No. 1st position at the box office..
Terrific performances from Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor will keep the audience happy and engaged. The screen chemistry shared by these two talented artistes is top notch. A decent comedy track, good music and a soft love story all add to the movie's appeal.
some unrealistic action sequences and Salman's attempts to please the front benchers will make you wince. Once the twists and surprises are known,the story loses the fun factor and this hampers its appeal after the first watch.
