The following are the six films that have stood in the first league in collections between june 9 and june 15th.
1)Pokiri...49 days...sensational hit...running house full...must see for Mahesh, Puri's dialogues and screenplay and ignore vulgarity and violence.
2)Godavari....28 days...success....strong in A centres...good presentation and has a feel good factor...ignore dragging narration.
3)Sri Ramadasu..78 days...super hit...picking up in B and C and steady in A centres
Must watch for devotional subject, Nagarjuna's performance and Keeravani's music. Ignore confusion in the beginning.
4)Bangaram...43 days...average...smooth run and decent collections in areas other than Nizam and ceded.
5)Pandem Kodi...28 days....average...rising collections everywhere...assets are screenplay, action and Meera Jasmine's performance...drawback is the music and being a dubbed film.
6)Kitakitalu...41 days...success...gave the producer a reason to smile....must see for comedy and publicity...minus is screenplay and story

1)Pokiri...running 56 days now..sensational hit..dont miss it.
2)Godavari.. 35 days...success...collections good only on weekends.
3)Sri Ramadasu....85 days...Super Hit...rise in collections in B and C centres because of Vijayayatras. Media publicity needs to be pepped up.
4)Pandem Kodi...35 days...average...going strong in mass centres. Screenplay, fights and meera Jasmine are must mention. Songa are a bore.
5)Maha...7 days...fail....got good openings but slided since monday...plus point is music and scenes pertaining to the youth. Screenplay is slow.
6)Sri Krishna 2006...21 days...below average....collections okay but not that great to make it a success. Brahmanandam's comedy is a must watch. Story, screenplay is a drawback.
Box Office Top Five
Updated: 10-22-2006
1)Bommarillu…70days…super hit…collections good despite ten weeks.
Plus is story, screenplay and music.
Minus..Nothing worth talking about for B abd C audience.
2)Stalin…31 days..average…collections have dipped in the fourth week. Chiranjeevi and the help chain element is a big draw, routine screenplay is a minus.
3)Pogaru..8 days..average…good openings but talk is weak. Action episodes and Shriya Reddy character is a big plus. Story is old and so is narration.
4)Boss…22 days…flop…first flop for Nagarjuna after four years. Comedy in the first half and Nagarjuna’s and Nayantara’s performance.
5)Andala Ramudu..64 days…hit…collections dipped after fifty days. Sunil’s dance and performance a must see. Story and narration is old as history.

Wanted desperately: A story!
Sainikudu is a perfect example of what goes wrong with big-budget movies with huge hype and hoopla. Gunashekar and Mahesh Babu, the highly successful director-hero duo fails to have the most fundamental element - A script, which has been completely ignored and the screenplay is embarrassingly amateurish.
It is nowhere in the league of Gunashekar’s previous films. It starts with a bang but moves at snail pace and falters in the end. Gunashekar who had discovered new way of projecting heroism (through subtle performance laced with high-voltage action) has failed miserably this time in narrating a wafer-thin story. The plot is nothing new and we have already seen the same premise in Mani Ratnam’s Yuva. But he puts in another backdrop – flood situations and has also taken the heroine falling in love with the hero from Runaway Bride.
Siddardha (Mahesh Babu) studies in Osmania University. Floods hit Warangal and along with his friends, he saves the villagers. Government sanctions funds for flood relief but politician Pappu Yadav (Irfan Khan) diverts them. In the ensuing by-elections, he wins and becomes the Home Minister! Knowing this, Siddardha kidnaps his bride Varalakshmi (Trisha) on his wedding day. He demands Pappu Yadav to give back the funds to the villagers and build houses for them to get back his bride. Meanwhile, love blossoms between Varalakshmi and Siddardha. How Siddardha brings the change in political system and teaches lesson to Pappu Yadav forms of the rest of this boring yarn!
The major problem with Sainikudu is the characterization of Mahesh Babu. He wants to bring revolution in political system by infusing youth blood but ironically the antagonist is also youth. And the rivalry and war between Mahesh and Irfan Khan defy the logic. With Pokiri, Mahesh has brought realism to the action sequences but in Sainikudu it is the opposite – formulaic without any logic.
Its hard to believe and defies logic that a Home Minister of a state cannot take on a single guy with no political connections. Too many clichéd characters (Trisha as 6th standard failed village belle and Irfan Khan as corrupt politician), predictable situations and unbelievable action scenes make it a torture. The cardboard sets, song placements and picturisation are a big let down and the much publicized “technically superior film” is actually tacky! At a time when Dhoom-2 and Don has world class DI, here the outcome is amateurish.
There is only one thing that might lure you into this mindless film. It is the awesome screen presence of Mahesh Babu who holds the film together. He is one of those rare actors who is not only abundantly talented and is simply, the heart, soul and spirit of Sainikudu. Trisha does her village belle act to perfection and her comedy scenes with Mahesh area welcome relief. A fine actor like Irfan Khan has been reduced to a buffoon. Prakash Raj is just okay.
The camera of Balasubramaniam is topnotch. Harris Jayaraj’s seems to be inspired this time though Orugilla Pilla… is the pick of the album. But Peter Haines stunts follow the same pattern of what he did in Aparichitudu and makes the audiences laugh seeing the absurdities of it! Sreekar Prasad must have fallen asleep while editing this film, as the film needs urgent trimming. Totally devoid of any original snatches of writing, Parchuri Brothers dialogues make the film plod.
On the whole, Sainikudu turns out to be a not-so-wonderful experience, after all that hype.
Verdict: Disappointing
`Sainikudu`- A flop?
By Moviebuzz | Saturday, 02 December , 2006, 09:20
The much-hyped Mahesh Babu's Sainikudu lost its steam on the very first day of its release. The unanimous talk in the trade is that the film is going to be an epic disaster at the box-office.
The film ran into troubles a day before its release as the prints could not reach many parts of the state. On November 30 th, it opened only in few centers with morning show. In rest of the state the film began showing from Friday (Dec 1).
SMS messages were dong the rounds that Sainikudu is pain to watch!Even die-hard Mahesh Babu fans are not enjoying the film. Disappointed with the film, some of his fans set the screen on fire in Nizambad, a prominent town in Nizam!
On Friday, Mahesh Babu's statewide president Diddi Rambabu openly criticized producer Ashwini Dutt for the failure of the film and blamed him for the entire fiasco.
Though the film took a great opening, the bad word-of-mouth is sure to have an adverse effect on collections. The trade feels that the film is likely to collapse by Monday!
In Chennai, considered to be a Mahesh Babu fortress, the film has fallen. It released in three Chennai screens and Jayaprada where Mahesh's Pokiri ran for 175 days, the ticket rate was as high as Rs 150! But by Friday noon, tickets were available in all releasing theatres!
Trade pundits say that Sainikudu is a disaster, just like Naani in Mahesh Babu’s career!
