The year 2010 has been not very lucky year for Tollywood. Execpt for a few good movies at the box office, most of them were average grocessors and the rest failed. Telugu industry went through a tough year in terms of making good movies, raking good moolah & with industry stirs & fights from various sections, Bandhs, IPL-4 which further added to it. The T agitation has added its flavour this year and the effects & after affects were seen through the frist quarter completely and the first half of second quarter.
The year started with a super duper hit from Balakrishna in the form of Simha. This movie can now be counted in the top ten tollywood grocessors of all time and a big hit in the list of hero Balakrishna.
There were countalbe hits this year. Simha, Adurs, Ye Maya Chesave, Leader, Sneha Geetam, Darling, Betting Bangara Raju, Maryada Ramanna, Brindavanam.
At the same time big budget movies with lots of expectations failed at the BO. Pawan Kalyan starrer komaram puli directed by SJ Suriyah failed to make the magic of the same combination which they created a decade ago for the film Kushi. Mahesh Babu & Trivikram's Khaleja also bombed at the BO. Anuskha couldn't show the same grace in her movie Panchakshari which she showed in last year's blockbuster Arundathi. Ravi Teja's Don Seenu also failed to impress. Ram Charan's most awaited movie after Magadheera, which set a lot of expectations also couldn't stand. It also failed at the box office. Nagarjuna's Kedi was also a let down. Allu Arjun's Varudu released in lot of hype couldn't live up to the expectations. Siddarth's Bava couldn't leave any traces at all. Dil Raju's Maro Charitra which was a remake of yesteryear's movie with the same title was a failure too. All in all the loss incurred by the big budget films was a huge sum.
Dubbed version films from the neighbourhood worked well this year. Superstar Rajnikant's Robo was a super hit which rained moolah at the box office. It was the biggest hit in terms of revenue collections this year. Surya's Yamudu was also a average grocessor. His brother Karthi's both the movies did well. Yuganiki OKkadu & Awara grocessed reasonablly. At the same time Mani Ratnam's Ravan failed miserably.
Ramgopal Verma's Rakta charitra 1 & 2 were released with lot of controversies around it. 1st part did reasonably at the BO, but 2nd part coundn'd create the same magic.
The year 2010 has saw new faces who climbed to the top quickly, thereby started contesting for the numero uno position. Samantha Ruth Prabhu in Ye Maya Chesava as Jesse became a house hold name. She was lucky to make her tollywood debut against Naga Chaitanya. Later she had a chance to act alongside NTR Jr in Brindavanam. Samantha has movies lined up with Mahesh Babu & Pawan Kalyan as well. Tapsee made her debut in K Raghavendra rao's Jummandi Nadham. She also has few movie lined up for release later this year and early next year.
