Real collections of robot world wide(all versions)

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on , under UPDATES |

Endhiran (Tamil) has set the box office on fire in the South and Overseas. The Hindi version Robot managed average business in circuits like Mumbai and CP Berar but flopped in Delhi, Punjab and Bengal. The approx expected lifetime figures for the film are as follows.

Endhiran (Tamil)
Distributor Share - 90 crore
Nett - 125 crore
Gross - 130 crore

Robo (Telugu)
Distributor Share - 25 crore
Nett - 40 crore
Gross - 43 crore

Robot (Hindi)
Distributor Share - 10 crore
Nett - 21.50 crore
Gross - 29 crore

The combined totals will be 125 crore distributor share (record for Indian film), 186.50 crore nett and 202 crore gross.

Endhiran (Tamil) will do $11m (49 crore) overseas with $5.5 million from Far East, $2.5 from North America, $1.5 million from Middle East and $1.5 million from the rest of the world.

The Hindi and Telugu versions of Endhiran will add another $1m from overseas.

The final worldwide gross total of all versions of the film will be INR 255.50 crore ($57.5 million). Worldwide they are the second highest figures ever for an Indian film after Three Idiots which did INR 339.50 crore ($74.5 million). Dabangg released earlier this year is third as it grossed INR 212 crore ($47 million). Three Idiots was released on 1800 prints worldwide, Dabangg was 2000 prints while the Tamil, Telugu and Hindi versions of Endhiran had a combined total of 2500 prints worldwide.
The only black spot for the film was the Hindi version which accounted for 800 prints but did not give a return like the other versions. In India Robot (Hindi) was 750 prints which was far too much as dubbed films do not have a big market. Last year the dubbed version of 2012 (Pralay Ki Shuruaat) was released on just 400 prints and grossed 28 crore nett and remains the highest grossing dubbed film. Robot (Hindi) is second on the list of dubbed films but release was more like outright Hindi film rather than a dubbed film.

WAIT FOR A COMPLETE REVIEW AS FILM RELEASES

types of women men

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on , under humor |

We all know what women don't like in men, but do we have even the slightest idea about what type of women put off men? Here is the lowdown on the personality types men don't like at all.

Cribber:

Women who crib, talk negatively and belittle people are a great turn-off. Sure we all have our bags full of complaints, but it is one thing to complain once in a while, and it's something else to crib big time 24x7 about every issue or every person one comes across. Men can't understand why a woman has to crib and ***** all the time. Either you do something about the issue or stop complaining - it's as simple as that.

Weight-watcher:

'Oh can't have beer, it has 150 calories', 'I must hit the gym everyday' - if these are your favourite catchwords, you have trouble coming your way. There is only so much diet, exercise regimens men can take and if you are too conscious, a man is likely to be exasperated. Women need to know when to give in 'without throwing their weight around'!

In-law basher:

Agreed only the fortunate are blessed with a good set of in-laws. So if you are not one of the lucky ones, will you constantly bash them up verbally? They are somebody's parents and if you don't have anything nice to say something about them, don't say anything. How does that sound?

Worker bee:

If you are buzzing nineteen to a dozen only about the presentations you have to make for the boss, deadlines, colleagues, HR head and the office janitor - it's obvious you have nothing else to talk about. A man may want to know about your interests, your views on him, and more, but you prefer to hide behind 'work' all the time. If you want a man, any man actually - get a life first.

Agony aunt:

There are some women who constantly feel they are an 'advisory body'. They feel it is their business to hear out the whines of everyone around them and suggest suitable solutions. They are so deeply involved in this part-time job that they inadvertently sound like they are advising you as well. Nobody wants to date a mom, you know.

Most brutal execution methods

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on , under HISTORY |

Most brutal execution methods

Hold your breath. You are about to witness some very severe historical penalties. Though our ancient cultures were said to be very civilized, there is evidence of their having used a wide variety of hideous torture methods throughout history to end the lives of criminals and traitors.

10. Death by Boiling

Can you imagine boiling someone alive in large pot? Though not common, this was an unusually cruel method of execution. There is plenty of evidence that it was practiced throughout human history. Archeologists have found human bones in cooking pots and hearths in China which were found to be around 500,000 years old.

In England in the 1500s this was the legal method of punishment. The victim was immersed in boiling water, oil or tar until dead. Imagine the fear the prisoner felt when they were taken to this deadly big pot to suffer their horrible fate.

9. Crucifixion

Crucifixion was among the most gruesome and painful of ancient execution methods and was practiced from about the 6th century BC until the 4th century AD, mainly among the Seleucids, Carthaginians, Persians and Romans. The condemned person was tied (or nailed) to a large wooden cross and left to hang till dead. Their dead body was then left on display as a warning. Sometimes, the victim was ordered to carry their own crossbeam – which weighed about 75-125 pounds (35-60 kg) – on their shoulders to the place of execution. Not only this, but to humiliate them, they were ordered to be hung up naked.

There is evidence of a practice much like crucifixion having taken place during World War I and II. A punishment known as ‘Field Punishment Number One' was very similar – although it involved the victim being flogged rather than executed. In the British Army, especially during World War I, soldiers were punished for crimes such as refusal of orders and disobedience.

Nowadays, versions of crucifixion are practiced as a devotional ceremony in some part of New Mexico and the Philippines. Though the church greatly discourages this practice, followers of Jesus still imitate the suffering of Christ by being 'crucified' for a limited time on Good Friday. It has been seen in the town of Iztapalapa, just outside Mexico City, and also in San Pedro Cutud, during the ‘Passion Week Celebration’ of 2007.

8. Flaying

In this author's opinion, this was the most uncivilized method of torture and punishment practiced during the Middle Ages. Brutal to the bone, it involved removing the skin from the body of a still living prisoner.

Flaying was an ancient practice, inflicted on criminals, captured soldiers and 'witches' around a thousand years ago in places such as the Middle East and Africa. The victim was flayed alive as part of a public execution, after which the skin was nailed to the wall as a warning, so that others would heed the lesson and never ever dare to defy the law.

7. Disembowelment

Disembowelment was among the most severe forms of punishments ever heard of or seen. This method was used to punish thieves and those accused of adultery. Some or all the vital organs were removed one by one from the body, mainly from the abdomen. Sources say it was practiced in England, the Netherlands, Belgium and in Japan.

In Japan, it was a ritualized suicide method for Samurai, referred as “seppuku”, in which two cuts across the abdomen were made. In another version, a fine cut was made in the victim’s gut, leaving him to catch an infection.

Also, in later medieval times, the torture was performed using small starving animals such as mice, which led to the victim’s death. Imagine the agonizing pain the prisoner must have felt when their 6-meter-long intestines were slowly eaten by the starving mice.

6. Breaking Wheel

The breaking wheel, also known as the ‘Catherine wheel’, was a medieval execution device. It was used during the Middle Ages and was still in use in the 19th century. It originated in Ancient Greece and from there spread through other countries such as France, Russia, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Sweden.

A wooden wheel was used to stretch the victim out, with their limbs extended along its many spokes. Then a hammer or a large iron bar was applied to the limb through the gap to break all its bones. This process was repeated with every limb, leaving the victim alive but in pieces.

Sometimes the executioner was ordered to strike on the stomach and chest, a practice known as the ‘blow of mercy’. The number of blows was specified in the court sentence. If mercy was shown, after two to three blows the victim was strangled. In severe cases, the victim would be cudgeled ‘bottom-up’ starting with the legs, while those who had committed lesser offenses were beaten 'top-down' starting with the throat. When the execution was complete, the criminal’s head was often placed on a spike for exhibition and the shattered limbs were left for birds to eat. Imagine the pain and suffering involved in this cruel execution method.

5. Impalement

We all know about piercing the nose, ear or naval as a beautification procedure – but what about being pierced with a long stake? This was among the the most revolting of punishments ever imagined and practiced by humans. It was a favorite of the Romans, Chinese, Greeks and the Turks. It was also practiced in Asia and in Europe during the Middle Ages.

Though rarely practiced, impalement was truly horrifying. The victim was pierced through the rectum, through the vagina, through the side or even through the mouth, causing deep bleeding and painful wounds. They were then dropped into their own grave. The victim endured a long period of continued suffering before their death. Sometimes, before execution, the victim was asked to dig their own grave too. What suffering the victim had to endure with the stake penetrating their groin during those agonizing hours (or days) before death.

4. Crushing

This forceful execution method was used in the common law legal system. It has an extensive history, with several varying methods used through time. One of them was ‘Crushing by Elephants', which was used throughout south and south-east Asia for over 4,000 years. Sources say it was also used by Romans as well as by the Nguyen Dynasty in Vietnam.

In another method, the victim was pressed with extremely large and heavy stones laid upon their chest, causing suffocation and then death. Though these forms of execution are no longer sanctioned by any governing body, the fact remains that it was incredibly unkind to let someone die, crushed or suffocated beneath rocks or the strong legs of a giant creature.

3. Death by Burning

We may love to eat roasted potatoes, roasted chicken and roasted beets – but what about a roasted human? Many of us cannot even imagine seeing a human burning alive. So imagine the cruelty of this wild and evil execution procedure. In days gone by, some criminals were burned alive for whatever heinous act they committed.

The progress of the fire would burn the calves, thighs, hands, stomach, breasts and upper chest before reaching the face. It was extremely painful, although sometimes the person died from carbon monoxide poisoning before the fire even touched their calves. Pitch was also applied to the prisoner’s body, which helped the fire to burn quicker and make the process faster.

There is evidence of enemies being burned alive in Rome, in Akragas in Sicily, in England, and in some part of North America too. Among the best known individuals executed by this brutal method were St. Joan of Arc (1431), Patrick Hamilton (1528), Thomas Cranmer (1556) and the Old Believer leader Avvakum (1682).

The most recent record is of ‘Jesse Washington’, whose execution is internationally remembered as 'The Waco Horror'. Washington was found guilty of raping and murdering a white woman and was only 17 when he was tortured and burned alive in front of a cheering crowd of 16,000. What could be a more brutish and wild punishment than this?

2. Sawing

You can grasp what this execution procedure was about by its name. It involved hanging the helpless condemned person upside down and then slicing them down the middle, starting at the groin. It was a gross procedure to say the least... Bleeding severely but still alive and conscious – the thought alone is enough to make you throw up. As the condemned was hanged upside down, their brain received enough blood supply, so they remained alive in spite of the pain and severe bleeding. This method was used in Europe, under the Roman Empire and also in some parts of Asia. According to some religious histories, the prophet Isaiah was executed in this manner. The figure above shows the painful death of a delinquent.

1. Slow Slicing

Another vicious punishment method involved slicing the prisoner very slowly. Around 900 AD it was a common execution method in China, until its abolition. There it was known as ‘Ling Chi’, which means ‘The Lingering Death’ or ‘Death By a Thousand Cuts'. The idea behind the method was to humiliate the victim with a slow and painful execution and then for the punishment to continue even after after death.

The condemned person was killed using a knife. Methodically, over an extended period of time, parts of the body were removed. This was a public execution method used to threaten people. Sometimes opium was also administered to prevent fainting or as an act of mercy. Because of the severity of the punishment, it could not last longer than 15 to 20 minutes.

So friends, which method did you like the most? The full list is quite long and includes other horrible methods such as decapitation, shooting, necklacing and hanging. Since there seems to be no end to the list of diabolical methods, this author's opinion is: “Aargh…..!! They are all equally uncivilized and gruesome!

BAAVA movie review.........

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on Saturday, October 30 , under MOVIE REVIEWS |

Rating: 2.25/5
Banner: Sri Keerthi Combines
Cast: Siddarth, Rajendra Prasad, Pranitha, Ahuti Prasad, Tanikella, Samrat, Sindhu Tolani, Brahmi, Ali, Kasi Viswanath, Bharath Babu, Raghu Babu, Prasad, Venu and others
Dialogues: Veera Pothana
Music: Chakri
Cinematography: Aravind Krishna
Story, screenplay, direction: Rambabu
Producer: M L Kumar Chowdary
Release date: 29/10/2010

The handsome Siddarth has been working hard to score success at the box office and this time, he teamed up with the veteran Rajendra Prasad to achieve it.

Story
Set on the backdrop of Venkatapuram in the Godavari district, Veera Babu (Siddarth) is the darling son of Sitaram Prasad (Rajendra Prasad). He is a complete brat and causes trouble in the village along with his group of friends (Prasad, Venu and others). He chances upon Varalakshmi (Pranitha), whose father (Ahuti Prasad) is a man of high status and talks to only such people. However, love blossoms between Veera Babu and Varalakshmi as they go a long way back. On the other hand, Sitaram Prasad has got a strong link with Varalakshmi’s family but stays away from them. What is that link? Does Veera Babu succeed in his love story? All this forms the rest of the story.

Performances
Siddarth does his best to infuse life into his character and as usual, he is lively and expressive wherever required. His attempt to speak in the coastal slang must be appreciated. However, he got quite dramatic and artificial in the climax.

Rajendra Prasad was mild. His character was not etched properly and in a way, he was not used to his fullest caliber. He excelled in a bit of mono action in the fields in first half.

Pranitha looks homely and at the same time has enough sex appeal. She has shown ease and confidence in front of the camera. That way, she has scored in glamour and performance departments. Her intro scene with ‘Ringa Ringa..’ song is entertaining.

Ahuti Prasad was regular, Tanikella was neat, Samrat was handsome and did a good job, Brahmi and Ali comedy track took off well but fizzled out, Raghu Babu was brief, Prasad, Venu and gang gave many smiles, Kasi Viswanath, Bharath and others were there to fill the screen. The actress who did the role of Siddarth’s mom was decent, Sindhu Tolani was a misfit.

Analysis
The film takes off at a very good level and the entire first half goes breezily with comedy and entertainment. However, things go completely down during the second half and with each passing scene, audience’s patience is tested.

The film suffers due to lack of depth during the emotional scenes and for some reason, the last twenty minutes went completely haywire and director lost track of what he wants to do. It was rather different to see audience clapping and whistling at some of the tragedy and emotional sequences which goes to show how the film got dragged and bored the viewer.

The storyline is quite routine and one has seen the routine twists before. On the bright side, the technical aspects are good. Cinematography was top notch. Background score was good, two songs were melodious, dialogues were well written, screenplay was okay. Editing was most needed during the second half to cut the drag scenes and melodrama. Locations were eye catching.

Overall, the openings for the film will be good due to the Siddarth factor and old loyal fans of Rajendra Prasad but then it is very hard for the film to get into the profit zone at the box office due to the squabbled second half.

Bottom-Line: Good first half- Very Bad second half

'Gaganam' releases in 2nd half of Nov

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on Thursday, October 28 , under UPDATES |

Nagarjuna’s upcoming film ‘Gaganam’ is going to hit the screens only in the 3rd week or end of Nov.The producer of the film Dil Raju earlier said that the film will be releasing on Nov 5th as Diwali gift but made a sudden change in the release date.If he is making a release right away he needs to face competition from the big films like Robo, Brindaavanam and ‘Rakta Charitra’ in which one movie is his own production.

Nagarjuna is playing the role of a commando in this film. Nag considered as a romantic hero in Tollywood doesn’t have heroine in this film, which sounds very interesting. The film is releasing in both Telugu and Tamil. The Telugu version is produced by Dil Raju in Telugu and Tamil version by Prakash Raj. The film is directed by ‘Aakasamantha’ fame Radha Mohan.

RAKTA CHARITRA-MOVIE REVIEW

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on , under MOVIE REVIEWS |

Average

Ram Gopal Varma’s much hyped and long awaited film Rakta Charitra has finally hit the screens today. The film raised the heat considerably, particularly in Rayalaseema. Let us see if the film has lived up to all the hype.

Story:

RGV begins the story with the backdrop to the mindless violence and how revenge killings became the norm. A local MLA (Kitty) in Anandapuram manages things with a trusted aide Rajendra Gupta.

Kitty’s relative Kota is unable to see Rajendra Gupta, a man from the lower caste being so blindly trusted and relied upon. So he manages to make Kitty distrust Rajendra and kill him’

Rajendra’s elder son Shankar Ravi (Sushant) is naturally livid and he goes on a killing spree. He operates from the forest. Shankar’s younger brother Pratap Ravi (Vivek Oberoi) who lives far away from the faction ridden place is enraged after he learns that his brother has been murdered.

Pratap comes to the place and wreaks havoc. He gets Kitty and Kota murdered. The rise of Pratap as a faction leader is naturally not to the liking of Bukka Reddy (Abhimanyu Singh) son of Kota.

The rivalry between Pratap and Bukka Reddy grabs the attention of a politician Shivaji Rao (Shatrughna Sinha). He starts patronizing Pratap with an intention of subduing Bukka Reddy.

Shivaji Rao sets up a party and rides to power and becomes the chief minister. Pratap is elected as the MLA from Anandapuram. Just when things seem to be settling down enters a new man – Surya.

To know what happens next – we have to wait for another month – November 19 to be exact. RGV will release part-2 of Rakta Charitra on that day.

Performance:

Vivek Oberoi proves that he is an apt choice to play the role of Paritala Ravi. Vivek is soft and suave and when the need rises he shows his steely and violent side as and when required.

The best performance in the film is by Abhimanys Singh. He is just the right man to play the role of the wicked, heartless and cruel Bukka Reddy. Abhimanyu brings in the required intensity to the scenes – be it rape or murder.

Kota as usual excels in his role as Nagamani Reddy. Shaturghan Sinha is apt to play the role of NT Rama Rao. He does remind us of NTR in some scenes and the way he waves his left hand makes one feel as if one is watching NTR.

Radhika Apte is apt in her role as the love interest of Vivek Oberoi. Tanikella Bharani, Sushanth, Ashish Vidyarthi and others do justice to their roles.

Analysis:

Ram Gopal Varma has succeeded in portraying to a large extent the way things were in Rsyalaseema some time ago. He brings in the required depth and intensity to the characters. The film generates enough heat and intensity as a film based on faction violence should.

The screenplay is racy and the cinematography with brown lighting captures the mood perfectly. RGV has put in a lot of violence to set the mood for the film and in a way justifies the killings and violence as they form the basis for revenge killings.

Verdict:

Rakta Charitra is a gripping film but RGV has used excessive bloodshed and gore to prove his pint. The film also has too many characters with some being insignificant. This only makes the film a bit more confusing.

Ram Gopal Varma has stuck more or less to real facts and made it seem like fiction. So those who have followed the faction feuds in Seema closely, they may not find anything new or shocking.

Rakta Charitra is a film full of blood and gore. The film offers nothing at all for ladies and family audiences. With its ‘A’ tag it is out of bounds for children anyway. The film has garnered a lot of publicity but its fate at the box office is uncertain.

Mahesh’s “Dookudu”‘s cast and crew details

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on , under TOLLWOOD NEWS, UPDATES |

It is known that Mahesh is now working with Srinu Vaitla’s film titled “Dookudu”. So far we only knew that, Samantha is the lady lead for the film and Soniya(Happydays fame) is also playing an important role. And of course, music is being composed by budding music director Thaman, who earlier had given hits like “Kick”, and recently NTR’s “Brindavanam”. Now we got the news much more than this for this “Dookudu”.

Tentatively titled Dookudu, the movie boasts of a terrific cast like: Prakash Raj, Sonu Sood, Brahmanandam, Sayaji Shinde, Nazar, Vennela Kishore. Happy Days and Vinayakudu fame Sonia will also star in the movie. Shreya, the little girl who acted in Jai Chiranjeeva and recently in Robo will also play an important role in the movie.

Camera is being handled by Prasad ,who is a regular cinematographer for Srinu Vytla’s films. Editing will be done by M. R. Varma and the script is penned by Gopi Mohan. It is also heard that Ram – Laxman are planning for some unique fight sequences for this film.

Despite having such a wonderful team, everyone is wondering that why 14 Reels Entertainments Banner, the producers of the film, haven’t disclosed the details so far. Obviously no producers would like to create unnecessary hype for their films right from the making stage

Guna Sekhar given away Katti title

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on , under NEWS, TOLLWOOD NEWS, UPDATES |

Gunasekhar so far claimed the title ‘ Katti’ and moved to every corner in the film industry for justice. Even the Film Chamber failed to come to his rescue as NTR Arts registered the title with a different name as ‘ Kalyanram Kathi’. He tried to explain to the elders of the film industry to at least to direct Kalyanram to change the logo of the film and avoid the word ‘ Katti’ in big letters and the prefix in a miniature size but that effort also failed in vain. Gunasekhar, who was almost in tears, talking to the media on Wednesday night says, ‘ I adore the Nandamuri family a lot. Even I introduced NT Rama Rao as a junior artiste in ‘Ramayanam’ . I never expected such a humiliation from such a great family. The entire film industry kept mum on this title controversy, though I announced my forthcoming film with Raviteja with the title ‘Katti’ . For that matter, EVV Satyanarayana asked me few months ago to give the title for his son’s film but I refused him. Now I am offering my apologies to the senior director. I don’ t want knock the doors of court for justice because of my adoration towards Nandamuri clan. I am gifting away the title to Kalyanram.’
