BALA KRISHNA in and as OKKA MAGADU is one of the most highly anticipated movies in the early part of the new year 2008. The reasons for this anticipation are quite simple… Bala Krishna had a series of FLOPS. But for the first time, he is pairing with Y V S CHOWDARY. YVS is a self proclaimed hardcore FAN of Nandamuri Clan. So, it is natural that he would put his everything in to the movie. Moreover, 2007 has proved to be the DEATH BED for TOP STARS except VENKATESH. Okka Magadu is like a MAKE or BREAK movie for Bala Krishna. So, watch this trailer and express your opinion….

MY OPINION IS THAT THE TRAILER IS NOTHING SPECIAL IN TECHNICAL TERMS. But it was never technical value that makes a BLOCKBUSTER out of Bala Krishna’s movies.

Just by watching this trailer… I PREDICT THAT OKKA MAGADU WOULD SHATTER ALL RECORDS SET BY HIS EARLIER FILMS. THE REASON IS QUITE SIMPLE. YVS HAS ABUNDANT COMMERCIAL SENSE. THAT IS WELL PROJECTED IN THE TRAILER. THE FIERCE COMPARISON WITH A LION IS ENOUGH FOR BALA KRISHNAs FANS TO MAKE THIS MOVIE A BLOCKBUSTER. I REST MY CASE.

RATE THIS TRAILER

OKKA MAGADU is the biggest release slated for early next year. The film obviously stars one of the MASTERS of MASSES, BALA KRISHNA. But, the USP of the movie is its director YVS CHOWDARY. Though cannot be termed as creative in any sense, YVS has a master touch on masses and seems to strike right every time he ventures to sense the audience pulse. So, when he is teaming up with Bala Krishna for the first time, a lot of curiosity is evident in the industry circles and also among the general audiences with regard to the Box-Office.

OKKA MAGADUs audio is most probably slated for release on 8th December. There are 7 songs in the movie. the music is scored by MANI SHARMA. With Bala Krishna, YVS Chowdary and Mani Sharma, this is really one HUGE MASSY combination. The satellite rights of the film have already been bagged by YET-TO-BE-LAUNCHED “D” Channel of Union Minister Dasari Narayana Rao for a whopping Rs. 2.25 Crore.

PANDURANGA is the new title of Bala Krishna’s film being directed by K Raghavendra Rao. Earlier it was named Ranga Panduranga, but later when it went on the floors for shooting the title has been changed to just Panduranga. Attired in the garb of Lord Sri Krishna, Bala krishna gave the first shot for this mythological movie… The film’s shooting began at Ramakrishna Horticultural Studios in Nacharam. K Raghavendra Rao will be directing the film apart from producing it under his banner R K Films Associates. Bala Krishna will play the dual roles of Krishna and Panduranga. SIX leading actresses will enact the roles of wives of Krishna. So the ratio is 1:6. When was the last time you have seen so many heroines opposite a single hero? I remember NTR’s RAJAMAKUTAM and the like… What about you guy/gals?

The audience who went to watch the cricket match between India and Australia in Hyderabad were surprised and ecstatic to see many Tollywood stars gracing the venue with their radiating presence…

CHIRANJEEVI, BALA KRISHNA, VENKATESH, RAVI TEJA, SRIKANTH, RAM CHARAN, LAWRENCE, ALI, NAGABABU and others are dancing in this video. I think many of you have already seen this video on YOUTUBE. If so then you can skip this… Otherwise, this video is a must watch for every Telugu movie fan… Actually the reason for me to put this on display here is because on YOUTUBE it has been viewed only 50,000 times. But I think we are 9,00,00,000 (9 Crores) Telugu movie fans out here. So please inform your friends about this video. But the sound & video quality is a bit poor… What the hell, it is a rare video and our heroes are in it… And don’t miss Bala Krishna’s kick on Ali’s butt… WATCH IT…

Bala Krishna gets busy again after his daughter’s marriage. He is teaming up with the (vintage) Director Raghavendra Rao for their new film Ranga Panduranga… I know this news is old but what is new is that the shooting of the film is commencing on 21st October, 2007. The Pooja ceremony will be held in the second week. It is being planned that after a week of scheduled shooting, Bala Krishna will again start working on Okka Magadu. And then after the entire Okka Magadu finishes, Bala Krishna would join the shooting for Ranga Panduranga.

I wonder if he gets to wear this pant in a mythological movie…!!! —KALCHA

Raghavendra Rao is producing it on his RK Film Associates banner. Two leading heroines and several other upcoming actresses will star in this movie.

I really wonder as to how many heroines would go through this torture again… If you are wondering as to who is the poor heroine desperate for breath in the picture below… She is Deepti Bhatnagar in Pelli Sandadi. —KALCHA

BALA KRISHNA is all set to embark on a new journey after failing to entice the TOLLYWOOD audience with his romance with multiple heroines in a feeble attempt to live up to his name. He has tasted bitterness in recent times with all of his films after NARASIMHA NAIDU (Veera Bhadra, Allari Pidugu, Vijayendra Varma, Maharathi Etc.,) bombing and falling on the sidelines like a pack of cards… He is proving to be a huge risk for the producers. So he seems to get some of his common sense back and is embarking on a new journey to entertain us with a mythological film. “I am ready to play suitable mythological roles. My father’s acting in PANDURANGA MAHATYAM had left an indelible impression on me. I have always looked forward to playing a similar role some day. I think it’s the right time to play such roles,” says Bala Krishna. He is currently working on a mythological film tentatively titled RANGA PANDU RANGA reportedly being directed by Raghavendra Rao.

Maharadhi!@#$%^&*() Does it really need a prediction? I mean literally, Balayya as a ROCK STAR is the last thing that I wanted to see… Let me put this straight to you… How many of youuu think Balayya is a ROCK STAR? If your answer is matching mine then you predicted the fate of this movie… Fans among you… please excuse me… but how many more years of this torture… Mr.Bala Krishna?

IN A NUTSHELL: It would be a repeat of YOGI… Huge first day, empty theaters from second day on and then… “when would Okka Magadu is gonna release?” would be the question fans eagerly ask…

Poor chap!!! producer Vakada Apparao declared that Balakrishna and his movie Maharadhi is out of Sankranthi race. Fans of Balakrishna, might be very disappointed over the prolonged delay for the release of Maharadhi.

As U all might already know, it’s official that the movie can at best release for this month end slots. Producer Vakada Apparao might be citing other technical delays… but the facts are out in the open that the delay is in fact due to the lack of theatres or the lack of buyers.

In fact two of the much anticipated movies in recent times has been Yogi and Desa muduru. Yogi is being directed by the sensational hit maker V.V.Vinayak with the young and macho Prabhas being the title bearer. Desa Muduru is being directed by Puri Jagannath… and we all can understand the reason for him being red hot after Pokiri. The title role is being portrayed by the hard working (a rear breed in the industry) and who is deservedly one of the better actors of the Telugu film industry, Allu Arjun. So with these two big films of a couple of decades younger heroes taking seats on the flight, Bala Krishna who seem to be shaking a leg or two with the youngest of the heroines doesn’t get a seat this time… In fact after a series of flops, fans of Bala Krishna Sir were expecting a massive hit in this film but on the canceled date of 10th, fans who were furious tore and burnt the posters. Better luck next time, Sir!!!
