'Lakshyam' beats 'Sivaji' to take top spot
By Kalpana Shastri
Hyderabad, July 26 Actor Gopichand shines in "Lakshyam", a
revenge drama.
The film got an overwhelming response at the ticket window and
pushed Rajnikant-starrer "Sivaji - the Boss" one notch down. It
is enjoying the top position this fortnight and
may rule the charts for sometime.
The top five Telugu films are:
1. "Lakshyam" - A revenge drama complete with the
trademark smirk and imposing physique of Gopichand, the film has
become an instant hit with the audience. Land disputes, cops and
journalists appear to have touched a chord with the masses.
2. "Sivaji" - Still running to packed audiences, the
success of "Sivaji" at the box office appears unending. The
viewership has now shifted to moviegoers who have watched the
movie more than once. One can attribute its success to superstar
Rajnikant, who has the knack to turn the ordinary into
extraordinary. A fall in the list for this film, therefore, does
not signify anything more than the film industry's rising
production values.
3. "Dubai Seenu" - The film moves up the list this week,
with fans appreciating actor Ravi Teja who is back in form. A
crowd-puller directed towards youth, the film about a young man
who yearns to become rich strikes a chord with the viewers.
Well-crafted action scenes and good music by Mani Sharma have
helped the film chart its upward
move.
4. "Satyabhama" - Not very unlike "Ghazni" minus the
violence, the film is like a page out of Salvador Dali's
surrealistic paintings. The mush interspersed with comic relief
has proved to be a crowd-puller for some time now and appears to
continue entertaining the lovelorn audiences.
5. "Toss" - Priyadarshini Ram's "Toss" has bagged the
fifth spot this fortnight. Though the film boasts of an
interesting plot, there is little to hold the audience's
attention. Radical changes in cinematography and a new avatar
for Raja do not appear to have gone down well with the masses.
The movie may be well on its way out.

Mani's 'Dubai Seenu' rules Telugu audio market again
Veteran composer Mani Sharma is flying high as his album "Dubai
Seenu" stages a comeback and tops the list.
The top Telugu albums are:
1. "Dubai Seenu" - Popular numbers "Kol kol" and "Kanya
raasi" are making waves again. Mani Sharma, known for his
people-friendly 'masala' tunes, appears to have done
a great job with the rhythm and Western beats for the album.
2. "Satyabhama" - Post "Desamudru", composer Chakri has
made yet another winner. The music underlines the woman-centred
theme of the film. "Pyar karo" and
"Gundelona" are nice numbers.
3. "Sivaji - the Boss" - After all, A.R. Rahman is A.R.
Rahman. The music of "Sivaji" grows on you, especially after
watching the film and will retain its place in the top
albums list for some more time.
4. "Munna" - Engaging tunes composed by Harris Jayaraj
are keeping the album in the list. "Kadulu" in particular is a
song that is likely to hold listeners' interest despite the
film's disappointing performance at the box office.
5. "Aadavari Matalaku Atthale Verule" - Yuvan Shankar
Raja's music in the film could be classified as 'easy
listening'. That is why the album remains on the list despite no
particular outstanding rhythm.
