Mahesh All Set To Rock In America



Superstar Mahesh Babu is going all out to reach newer sections of audiences. Already the kind of mass character, Encounter Shankar, he has picked for 'Aagadu' is a clear message that the numero uno star has set his focus on 'mass' audiences this time. 


Overseas market, especially USA audiences happen to be die-hard fans of Mahesh Babu and the collections of his previous films speak volumes about it. But his craze is limited to only Telugu speaking communities unlike Hindi stars who have pan-Indian appeal as Hindi could be understood to some extent. To overcome the language barrier, Aagadu will be now releasing with English subtitles. This not only helps NRIs of other states watch the film, but will also invite Americans who are excited about watching Indian masala. Surely Mahesh will add another feather to his cap with such a plan being implemented for Aaagdu.

Nenokkadine and Yevadu: Box Office Collections

Though ‘Yevadu’ released a couple of days after Mahesh Babu’s ‘1 – Nenokkadine’, it seems to have caught up and is showing a lot of promise.
Though both films fall under the same genre, “Revenge Drama”, Yevadu seems to be more viewer friendly with the right mix of commercial elements.
‘1-Nenokkadine’ took off to a flying start in USA pushing aside the dominance of ‘Dhoom 3’ and ‘Dedh Ishqiya’. 

1-Nenokkadine:
It looks like Mahesh Babu's Nenokkadine is not cutting it with the audiences. After failing to live up to the pre-release expectations the collections of the movie have slackened all over the state. Sources in the trade circles aver that the film has managed to gross just Rs 14.90 crores in collections over the festive weekend.
Budget: 70 Cr
Screened in: 1650 screens worldwide

Yevadu
Despite opening to a mixed response from the audience and the critics looks like Ram Charan's Yevadu is doing good business at the BO. The film has grossed a share of Rs 17.33 crore in theatrical collections from all over the state.
The movie has been getting a great response from the B and C centers all over Andhra Pradesh. Sources state that the film has received a great response in Karnataka as well.
Budget: around 50 Cr
Screened in: over 790 screens worldwide

Mahesh Babu creates history






Superstar Mahesh Babu is certainly on a roll. He is unstoppable since Dookudu and high expectations are riding on his upcoming film 1 as well. This film has been made on a humongous budget and people thought that the producers will find it hard to breakeven. Guess what! 1 has created history prior to the release and the producers are smiling all the way to the bank.

Eros International has strike a deal with 14 Reels Entertainment and fetched total rights of 1 Nenokkadine for a staggering Rs. 72 crore. Although this figure isn't stated officially, buzz from the film nagar is strong that the deal has been finalized for 72 crore. Eros will hold total rights of the film including satellite, audio and DVD rights.

With this 1 has created history in pre release business. Now this film will have to collect more than 72 crores to breakeven. Satellite and other rights can fetch upto 10 to 12 crores. So 1 should collect a share of Rs. 60 crore from the theatricals to enter profit zone. Quite a big ask, but with the current form of Mahesh Babu, decent talk on first day is enough for 1 to break into the All time Top 3 hits of Tollywood.
