Trade Talk: New Releases Declared To Be Flops

Three dubbing films and three direct Telugu films were released last week. Telugu dubbing from Malayalam's 'Anant Abadram' as 'Shivapuram' is declared to be an adult film by audiences for the frightening elements grooved in it. 'Raagam', a dubbing from Hindi is getting critical applause but not commercial returns. Nyaantara's 'Chiipi' is also dull without collections.

On a whole, the new releases 'Maa Iddari Madhya', 'Chilipi', 'Sivapuram', 'Raagam', and 'Konte Kurraallu' are proved to be flops, while 'Adavi Biddalu' is being patronized by selective audiences in a few rural centers.

Lack in story line and weak narrations without in tune with conviction are the factors those marred these films. Dil Raju's 'Bommarillu' is doing well with good collections. On the other hand, although a pure Hindi film, 'Lage Raho Munnabhai' is sweeping box offices in Hyderabad.

With this all new releases toppled miserably.
