Trade Talk - Top 5 Telugu Films this week

It has been signficant start to the second half of 2008, with some movies finally ringing the box office cash registers.

Kathanayakudu has been released amidst lot of hype, but could not meet the expectations.
These are top five films this week :
1. Katha Nayakudu - The openings of the film are pretty good.However the chances of it sustaining are pretty low.
Strengths : Rajni, Jagapathi Babu, touching climax
Weakness : Slow narration, poor comedy and direction.
2. Ullasam gaa , Uth...ga.. : This is going to be one of the coolest hits of the season. It has given the web based reviewers like grateandhraaaaa a reason to think of before writing off movies as duds, for some unexplained reasons.
This movie has very good feel with it.Nice comedy to go with . Ofcourse, Hero is a let down for the movie( but that happens- he has to go a long way ) , otherwise it would have been a block buster ala toliprema.
Strenghs : Direction , Heart throbbing Sneha Ullal , Music, comedy
Weakness : Hero , slow in parts.

3. Ready : This is the biggest hit of the year so far without much of debate. Brahmanandam , the veteran has a point to prove his year.

Strengths : Ram, Brahmanandam, Comedy, Music
Weakness : Slow First Half, weak climax.

4. Dasavatharam : A technical masterpiece from Kamal donning 10 different roles with amazing ease . A visual treat worth watching once for the sheer efforts put in for making of this movie.
Strengths : Kamal, Himesh's haunting Music, Technical values
Weakness : Feeble story line.
5 . Hare Ram : Kalyan Ram has come up with a winner here . It is worth commendable that he is trying different things. This is by far his best performance, and his consciousness as a producer who strives for he best is seen on the screen.
Strengths : Screenplay, production values.
Weakness : Music, perhaps too many twists.

With six-pack vishal and gorgeus zero -pack Nayanatara coming in Salute , and ravi teja - Aushka starrer Baladoor , this Independence day with an extended holiday is all set of ring-in cash for box office.
