TELUGU...a language sweeter than honey

తెలుగు మాట...తేనె ఊట
TELUGU...a language sweeter than honey

మంచిని పంచుదాము వడపోసిన తేనీటి రూపం లో
తేనెకన్న మంచిదని తెలుగును చాటుదాము వేనోల్ల
ఇదే నా ఆకాంక్ష, అందరి నుంచి కోరుకునె చిరు మాట

అతిథి tops Chennai box office

Chennai Box office - October 19th - 21st, 2007

"Mahesh Babu has once again proved that he is the king of opening, as his Athithi took an awesome four day opening and is the number one for the Dassera weekend, netting nearly Rs 21 Lakhs from four Chennai screens. At number two is Yash Raj's Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, at three is Bhool Bhulaiyaa. In the fourth position is Malaikottai, which is steady and in the fifth place is Katrathu Tamizh."

The Prince is back!

Mahesh Babu, (known as `Prince` among his fans) the Telugu superstar is the king at Chennai Box-Office, among other language stars in the city. No Bollywood hero has been able to break Mahesh's, Pokkiri record of Rs 43 lakhs distributors share from Chennai city!

The man's opening in Chennai is awesome, as he has a phenomenal reach among not only Telugus, but also among Tamil youth. Remember Mahesh son of Telugu actor Krishna, grew up in Chennai and was a decent opening batsman for St Bede's school, in Mylapore.

They simply love his action, dancing and soft romantic scenes, which are a major highlight in all his films. Recently all his Telugu films have been dubbed into Tamil. Our Ilayathalapathy has made the maximum number of Mahesh remakes into Tamil. A lot of top actors and directors in Kollywood are planning to watch Athithi late tonight at a sneak preview!

Tomorrow Mahesh's Athithi, is releasing in five Chennai screens including theatre like Abhirami in Puraswakkam area, a traditional Tamil area, where no Telugu film has released before! And believe it or not some theatres in Chennai have paid attractive MGs to screen the film!

Athithi has Amrita Rao in the female lead, with Malaika Arora Khan doing an item number, and Sameera Reddy doing a cameo, with rocking songs by Mani Sharma. The film directed by Surendar Reddy and produced by Ramesh Babu (Mahesh's brother) is releasing worldwide in 712 screens, distributed by UTV. It will be the biggest ever south Indian film release after Sivaji.
