'Lakshyam' poses a challenge to 'Sivaji'
By Kalpana Shastri

Hyderabad, July 12 Rajnikant's "Sivaji: The Boss" continues to enjoy its initial lead, made possible by its release in over 300 theatres across Andhra Pradesh, but the blockbuster faces a real challenge from "Lakshyam".

The top five Telugu films are:

1. "Sivaji": Rajni's charisma extends director Shankar's honeymoon with the audiences. It appears only a matter of time, however, before "Lakshyam" replaces it in the top slot.

2. "Lakshyam": Only a mass entertainer like this one could have proved a match for 'Sivaji'. Dashing Gopichand enthralls the viewers as the angry young man on a mission of vengeance, with Jagapati Babu providing just the professional touch the theme demanded. Anuahka adds all the glamour to the flick.

3. "Dubai Seenu": The Ravi Teja-Srinu Vytla comedy now face stiff competition from "Lakshyam". But "Dubai Seenu" has what it takes to give "Lakshyam" a run for its money in the days to come.

4. "Aaduvari Maatalaku Arthale Verula": Competition has made the Venkatesh-Trisha comedy lie low in the list. The film, however, still draws crowds in theatres throughout the state.

5. "Satyabhama": The Sivaji-Bhumika story, with a sand sculptor as its hero, seems to be made for the urban audience. It won't be a surprise if the film picks up in the days ahead.

Mani Sharma regains top slot with 'Lakshyam'
By Kalpana Shastri

Hyderabad, July 12 The see-saw battle between Mani Sharma and A.R. Rahman continues. Mani Sharma is up this time, with his album for "Lakshyam" creating greater interest among the audience than Rahman's "Sivaji".

The top five Telugu albums are:

1. "Lakshyam": Mani Sharma knows more than a thing or two about scoring music for the masses, and he has done just that for this Gopichand film.

2. "Sivaji": It may take some time for the appeal of songs "Style style" and "Sahara" to wane, but the downward journey of the album on this list might have started.

2. "Dubai Seenu": Mani Sharma's "Kanya raasi" and "Seenu seenu" are still on the lips of the people. The album can hold its appeal for some more weeks in the market.

4. "Satyabhama": Chakri's album, by all accounts, is the USP of this film. The album includes the music director's own "Nee navvule" and "Karuguthunnai".

5. "Aadavari Matalaku Atthale Verule": Yuvan Shankar Raja's album, with appealing numbers like "Naa Manasuki", may stay on this list for a while.
