The film industry can be defined as the film making company comprising of the film director, film producer, film editor, camera men, make-up men, many technical supporters and finally the actors.

Coming to the comedians, there are many great comedians present in the film industry. The great Comedian among all is the “Charlie Chaplin”.

RELANGI:

Relangi is the best comedian ever in the history of film industry. He can be called as Comedian God Father of Telugu Film Industry. He is the best performer who can make audience laugh and enjoy his show.

When a Tollywood comedy lover is asked to state the name of the best comedian till date, he would definitely state the name of “RELANGI”.

Relangi is the short name of this comedian in film industry. The actual name of this comedian is “Relangi Venkata Ramayya”. He used to have a lot of sadness hidden under his comedy. He is from an ordinary family, having great interest in acting. He had faced many problems to become an actor. He has been an assistant director before becoming an actor. Character that comes to mind of remembering him is “Lakshmana” in ”Mayabazar”, singing a very famous song “Sundari”. He had developed a great comedy from his portion in this movie.

Here is a list of his main works, which brought fame to him:

1. Indra character in “Dhruva”.
2. Kothwal character in “Bala Nagamma”.
3. Lakshmana character in “Mayabazar”.
4. Guna Sundari Kadha.
5. Pathala Bhiravi.

Apart of his great service of his work in the Telugu Industry, he has been an ideal man for his simplicity and helping nature to many of the actors, as a good person.

This great actor finally died in Thadepalligudem, in 1976. His excellent works are still present to make the coming generations happy and remember his works. These great personalities are always alive in their characters entertaining the audience in all means.

BRAMHANANDAM:

Coming to this great comedian, he is the person who brought a different and latest trend of comedy in Telugu industry.

Bramhanandam is a person who came from a very ordinary family. He was a very good actor from his childhood.

His debuted into films, and started his career at a very late age. Even though he debuted at a very late age, he was successful in making comedy out of his action. He became a very successful comedian that he was booked by all directors in their films making a special character for him. Here are very special and very famous characters of Bramhanandam played in various films; which were never forgotten in the history of Telugu Film Industry.

Ahana Pellanta “Stammer Character”

This was his first movie as a servant character for a very Miser owner. His character film in this very successful, even though it was his debut. This resulted in giving him many offers after this film.

Pelli Sandadi “Thief”

This is a very special character who steals every thing from others houses and would not have a single dialogue for him. The only dialogue is “SILENCE” that he speaks in the entire film. This character is again a turning point for his career.

Anaganaga Oka Roju “Micheal Jakson”

This is also an unforgettable character that would be caught by the police for interrogation. When he reveals his name as “Micheal Jackson”, he faces many problems. This is a very funny character in this film.

Pokiri "Bramhi - The Software Engineer”

This is a very funny and ever lasting character. This character would be very close to the present trend Software Engineers. It is a very funny and important character in this film.

Jalsa “Pranav - The Head Constable”

A funny and very sympathy character that would be facing problems because of the hero’s torture is this character.

Dhee “Chaari”

Chaari character is a very reserved character, which faces problems because of hero’s mischief character. The comedy between hero and Bramhanandam would be very excellent in this film.

Ready “Mc Donald Moorthy”

This is a very wonderful and experimental character which would play a very important role all over the film and would be making the audience laugh and enjoye all over the film.

Bramhanandam as Hero

Bramhanandam has acted in some films as the main hero. He made the films successful and hit by his excellent acting

Babai Hotel.

This is a very good and ever remembered film which would be still remembered in Andhra. This name is given for many of the new established hotels after the release of this film. This would be an example of the success of this film.

He received many awards for his excellent work done. His awards include many Nandi awards and also Guinness Record Book for acting in more than 750 films. He is honored with Padma Sri for his great contributions.

He is still ruling the Tollywood industry with full form. Hoe to see many more interesting characters to come from his behalf.

ALI

Ali is a very great comedian still contributing his great acting to the Tollywood industry. He is from a very very poor family, born in Rajahmundry. He used to be with his father when he is selling clothes on the main road of Rajahmundry. Being a small kid, he used to enjoy time in the shops entertaining the shop owners.

His very familiar enact is the “Gabbar Singh” character from “Sholay”. A child performing mimicry acts, he was included in musical bands of Rajahmundry and was observed by directors and entered movies as “Child artist”.

Ali entered the film industry as a Child artist. He debuted with “Sitakoka Chiluka” movie. His dialogue “Abbai” has become very famous and had been used by common man very frequently. He acted in many movies as child artist and had supported his family.

Later he again entered the film industry as a Comedian and had chosen many ways in his acting. He enacted as film hero in some movies which are much hit and some added to his good collection. Here are some of his very famous works:

Akkum Bakkum

In the movie “Yama Leela”, where he was the hero for the first time, he had a very great and famous dialogue “Akkum Bakkum”. He used this dialogue again in many movies.

Enna Chaata

This is a very famous dialogue that made many people laugh. In the move of “Rajendrudu Gajendrudu”, starring Rajendra Prasad as hero, he was the main comedian and a very interesting character. This was a very big hit too.

Nachimi

In the movie “Chirutha”, he acted as a female cum male named as “Nachimi”. This character is very interesting and the special slang which he used to talk has become very famous among the youth and children.

Gudumba Shankar

This character “Gudumba Shankar” is from the movie “Desa Muduru”, starring Allu Arjun as hero. This is a very interesting character of a sage, describing how he reached his destination. It is a very funny story to be in this film.

Ali was a very good anchor too. He was in many of the small screen shows. He being a good dancer, he was the anchor to the very famous show “Dance Baby Dance” in Gemini TV, for quite some years.

Ali had acted in many of the advertisements and had become more near to the people of tollywood. He was still contributing his works in the tollywood and was entertaining many of the people to forget their worries and laugh heart fully for the time they watch his show in the films.

Hope to see many more excellent and extreme talented comedians come into existence in the film industry and serve the people with their humor.

Theaters Vs Latest Released Movies

 

Theatre. This is a place where people would just go to spend some time for enjoying and get some entertainment by watching movies.In the recent times, these movies and the film actors are getting a lot of craze and were treated as demigods. And what if their Latest Movie hits the theatre.

This is the condition presently experienced in Andhra Pradesh, from the Tollywood.The main reason is that there is a very huge feast for all the movie lovers. In a month, there are four movies being released to entertain in theatres. This might be a very good feast to the movie lovers, but it is of great problem and loss to the film technical persons. 

WHAT IS THE ISSUE??
The main issue arises here. For the movie to run successfully, there needs THEATRES all around the state. 

Komaram Puli
Komaram Puli is the heavy budget movie released this 10-September-2010. This movie has great themes in it. This is the first movie for Allu Aravid as Producer after the great block blaster hit of MagaDheera,along with RameshIt is the first movie to show hero Pavan Kalyan as Police Officer. It is the first combination of A.R.Rahaman and Pavan Kalyan. With these heavy expectations on this movie, it has hit the theatres with great success. The review of this movie is very encouraging. As this is the first movie of this month, there is no problem for this movie to fetch for theatres. 

Robot
Robot is the latest movie in Shankar's direction, starring RajniKanth and Ishwarya Rai Bachan. This movie has been produced by Kalanithi Maran and Hansraj Saxena under Sun Pictures. As the music composed by A.R.Rahaman has already been proved to be a very good hit, the expectations has been increased much. This movie is expected to be released in third week of September, 24-September-2010. This is also heavy budget movie that has very heavy expectations all around the world as this movie is tipped to be a science fiction movie.Coming to the Tollywood, this movie has been bought by the Telugu publisher for about 27 Crores to Andhra Pradesh.To get back the invested amount, the publisher needs almost 800 theatres all around Andhra. But as there is a competitive and successful movie "Komaram Puli" already running in theatres, it would be very difficult for the publisher to get the theaters. It is a very great problem as "Rajni" has fans all over India. As Pavan Kalyan is a very hyped actor and had very good following in Andhra, it is very difficult to remove his successfully running movie from the theatres. 

Brundavanam
Brundavanam is the first movie of Junior NTR after his super hit movie of "Adurs". It has very heavy expectations due to the very rare and new combination of Jr.NTR as hero and Vamsi, Dil Raju as directors. This movie is expected to hit theaters on 01-October-2010. As Jr. NTR is a very hyped upcoming actors and has very good expectations on this movie due to the special and interesting talks that has been circulated on this movie. The problem that is present is that, as Pavan's "Komaram Puli" and Rajni's "Robot" would be showing in theatres already. Due to this, there is a very great scarce of theatres for this movie. This movie has very heavy expectations already being present. Not only this, there is a problem to get back the collections for this movie. This movie needs at least three complete weeks to get back the collections, if no competitor present. As there is a very heavy competition of two heavy budget movies running in theaters by this time, this movie would have very dry days in the coming days to hit on theatres. 

Khaleja
Khaleja is the much hyped movie too. This is a very hit combination coming back again after "Athadu". Hero Mahesh Babu and Director "TriVikram Srinivas" has a very hit movie Athadu in 2005. They want to hit back with this hit pair. This movie is expecting to release its audio by 12-September-2010 and release the movie by second week of October. The main problem for this movie is that there would be absolutely no theatres free for running this movie due to the already present movies of Pavan's "Komaram Puli", Rajni's "Robot" and Jr.NTR's "Brundavanam". This is a very huge problem for this movie. The main solution that has been seen is to potpone the movie release by atleast one month. But this is not the easy solution as this postponement would give a great loss for the producer Ramesh. As this is the second movie of Ramesh, after "Komaram Puli", he cannot decide which movie to slip down. This is a very sentimental problem too. 

Hope to see these movies strike on theaters and experience the final result what the audience would give to these movies. The final decision to make the movie hit is left in the hands of the movie lovers and fans. Let us just enjoye all the four movies and see the final verdict of the Tollywood fans.
