The first half of the year is complete and tollywood had 70 releases with almost 60+ being straight films and a few dubbed films. In the 70 films released, only a handful of them did well . Released one day after Sankranti, Arundathi stood as the solo blockbuster in the complete list. Not only elections and IPL matches, but also lack of big star movies were also the reason for the dull box of 6 months.

Kick, Akasamantha brought big cheers for their producers and were declared good hits. Kick starring Ravi Teja and Illena stuck gold from the first day of its release where the dubbed film Akasamantha was a slow hit. Also owing to its cheap budget, the film can be considered a good hit .

Billa, Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kastam and Prayanam were the above average films. All these films had very good openings but later went on average. Billa hanged between the Hit and above average status. KIKK once again proved siddharth sweat going at the tollywood box office. Prayanam was a surprise hit and movie was a good hit in the A class centers.

Ride, Maska, Veedokkade were average. Ride with is Youth story attracted the college going students, where Maska took the Sankranti bonus. Veedokkade proved good for Surya (tamil version was a blockbuster).

Sashirekha Parinayam, Evaraina Epudaina, Kavya’s Diary, Mitrudu were below average and were able to recover there costs. Mitrudu although did fairly well was considered as a flop only due to Bala Krishna’s big image.

Big films that failed miserably were Boni, Drona, Satyameva Jayathe and Pista. The other films need not need any mention as they only emptied there producers pockets. Drona inspite of brave bikini act by priyamani went on to be a dud.

Coming to the next 6 months, there are very big films lined up for releases and am sure some of them will rock the box office. A few of the releases being Maghadheera (Ram Charan Teja) coming in the end of Jul , Anjaneyalu (RaviTeja), Mallana (Vikram), Josh (Naga Chaitanya), Arya 2 (Allu Arjun), Adurs (Jr NTR), Leader (Sekhar kammula’s movie) and Namo Venkatesa (Venkatesh), etc. Many small good releases like Katha (Genelia), Kalavaramaye Madilo, Tejam and many more are lined up.
