Devotional 'Sri Ramadasu' biggest Telugu draw
By B. Anuradha, Indo-Asian News Service

Hyderabad, April 4 (IANS) The devotional film "Sri Ramadasu" starring Nagarjuna is drawing huge crowds in theatres across the state. 

The top five Telugu films are:

1. "Sri Ramadasu" - Veteran director K. Raghavendra Rao shows how to hold the audiences with a gripping screenplay. M.M. Keeravani's music has enhanced the film's appeal manifold. 

2. "Ranam" - Action hero Gopichand joins the big league with the film. Despite playing a light-hearted hero, in contrast to his intense roles, he has made the film a winner. 

3. "Laxmi" - After comfortably crossing the 50-day mark, the film faces a challenge from new releases. Director Vinayak has made a contrived plot work at the box office. 

4. "Ram" - Nitin's youth-oriented film has had a better opening than his previous releases. Hit pair Nitin and Genelia look good together. Besides entertaining the audience, director Shankar's film carries a message as well. 

5. "Devadasu" - Filmmaker Y.V.S. Choudury's teenage romance is gradually improving its box-office performance. The film launched actress Illeana in a big way.

 
1. "Sri Ramadasu" - "Idhigo idhigidigo" and "Sri Rama Rama" are the pick of this fortnight among the 17 kirtans in the album.

2. "Ranam" - Mani Sharma's fast-paced numbers keep up with the tempo of the comedy-action combo. "Ye chinna" and "Daga daga" are very popular with the masses. 

3. "Ram" - After "Happy", Tamil composer Yuvan Shankar Raja comes up with another peppy album to suit the youth-oriented caper. "Made in Hyderabad" and "Kurbani" are ahead of other compositions. 

4. "Lakshmi" - The film's big success has sustained the audio sales. The combination of actor Venkatesh and composer Ramana Gogula does the trick again. "Daga daga merise" and "Lakshmi bava" have proved to be catchy tunes.

5. "Style" - Despite cacophony outscoring melody, Mani Sharma's album holds on due to the film's success. "Style style" and "Rock 'n roll" still top TV countdown shows.
