So, is that the end of the silver jubilee era? Mostly, Yes. Probably, the film would be running for 25 weeks in a handful of theatres at most. Even Chiranjeevi, Mahesh Babu and NTR Jr canât break their own 100 days and silver jubilee records. Not that they cant give hits like Tagore, Pokiri, Simhadri again. But the era where a film runs for months together in theatres is gone. All the records that were made between 2003 and 2008 will remain unbroken in the future, in all probability. On the 175th day, blockbusters would be making attempts to create ârecordsâ on a newer turfs. On television, for the highest TRPs. On home-video, for most number of DVDs and Blu-Ray sold. On the internet, on which is the most downloaded film. So, records are here to stay but have a new address. Letâs take our fight to the next level. CM42014 | ||

Suresh Babu Percentage Phenomenon. Suresh Babu Is Producing The Movie In The Direction Of Teja. Teja Is Not Taking The Remuneration But Kept His Percentage Of Share In Profits. Similar Thing Happened To Srinu Vaitla As Well For The Movie âNamo Venkatesaâ. Suresh Babu Has Intelligently Started This âPercentage Phenomenonâ For Two Benefits- 1. Cost Cutting 2.To Extract Seriousness And Better Attention From Director. That Is A Great Move In The Interest Of Tollywood Producers. But On The Other Hand, Directors Are Worried If Suresh Babuâs Office Shows Genuine Records In Profits. Now The Same Suresh Babu Doesn Not Want âPercantageâ System In Theatres Wow What A Double Standard You Should Be Safe But Andaru Matti Kottuku Povali He Srongly Opposes Percentage Formula In Theatres Screening, Papam Pandenu Neduâ¦â¦.

4 Idiots. 1.Suresh Babu. 2.Sunil, Asian Films. 3.Allu Aravind. 4.Dil Raju. =========== In These Days Starting A Film And Completing It Is One Part, And Getting Theatres And Releasing The Film Is Impossible Part. There Are 120 Theatres [ In Nizam Area Alone] In The Control Of Suresh Babu Out Of 120, 40 Theatres Are In Hyderabad City Alone. He Runs Business [Nearly 40 Theatres] In The Name Of Sunil [Asian Films -Benami Of Suresh Babu- That Is Open Secret] And Rest Of 80 Theatres He Is Going To Run [ Latest Decision By Sureshbabu ] In The Name Of Multidimension Entertainment Pvt Ltd/Ratna Celluloids Both Floated By Karvy Group,Mr Ram Mohan Rao Is Looking After This. Even If The Original Theatre Owner Wants To Run The Theatre They Wont Give The Big Films To Them As Most Of The Films Are Bought By These 4. So Out Of No Choice They Are Forced To Give Their Theatres To Lease. Big 4 Take The Lease For 10% [Of Theatre Gross] And Charge 25% From The Buyer/Producer So Cool Profit For Them As Per The Estimate They Are Making 10 Crores Profit From The Theatres Alone. So They Wont Leave This Business If Some Body Shouts Or Tries To Make Big Issue [Like Natti Kumar...] For Them They Give The Theatres On Percentage Basis If These Guys Leave The Theatres Lease Business Then Thousands Of Families Will Celebrate Deepawali [Eg: In Anantapur Town Out Of 14 Theatres 9 Are Under Suresh Babu And 4 Are Under Bigcinema So What Ever Terms They Ask The Buyer Has To Release Was There Is No Other Way] ââââââââââââââââââââ ââ * Big 4 With Their Influence Thru Chiranjeevi Got The Ticket Prices Enhanced In Single Theatres From 35/- To 50/- And In Multiplexes From 100/- To 150/- * Chiru Who Spoke To Late Cm Ysr And Got That Done In 1 Day Cant He Talk About Dying Small Film , When 90% Families Are Living On Small Films *Chiru Spoke About 1 Hr In Assembly About Piracy , What Will The Cinegoer Do When He Cant Afford To Go To Theatre With These Ticket Rates *Chiru Talks About Sufferers, Poor Etc In His Speeches, But So Far He Didnt Support Small Film Makers Eventhough He Their Problems Very Well. He Clearly Wants The Big To Grow Bigger. ================== *Even Hunger Strike By Producer Mandava Krishnachand Was Sponsored By Big4 As They Want Law On Piracy So That The Collections Will Improve And They Can Increase Rentals More, For That They Had Sponsored The Whole Show, We Agree Piracy Is Bad , But Small Film Makers Are Dying Give Them Oxygen Then Concentrate On Other Problems. * Telugu Film Producers Council Is Run By These 4 Only, So Naturally All Decisions Are Taken In Their Favour . *All Their Chamchas Who Get Benefits From Big4 Are There. *Big Films Entertainment Tax Can Be Increased From Present 12%[Lowest In India] To 20% And Use That Money To Small Films By Making Tax Free[ Present Tax For Low Budget Films Is 7%] But They Wont Agree * Even Dubbing & Non Telugu Films Tax Can Be Increased To 25% To 35% Like Karnataka. * As They Need Feeding To Their Theatres ,They Wont Allow This Also. ââââââââââââââââââââ ââââââââââ The Lesses Are Paying 10%[On The Thetre Capacity] To The Owners, In Very Few Theatres 15% But They Are Charging 25 To 30% Depending Up On The Demand At That Time. So Let Us Go Like This, Fix 10% Rent And Take That In Advance From Producer And Collection Above That Let Us Share By Lesse And Buyer/Producer, That Is What Actually We R Asking Let Me Explain The Percentage System We Are Demanding. If One Theatre Housefull Capacity Is 30,000/- Per Show And Ad 28 Shows Per Week I.E 8,40,000/-[ Gross] Deduct 7% Ent Tax I.E 7,81,200/- [Nett] So We Are Asking 10% In 8,40,000/- I.E 84,000/- As Fixed Rent And Balance Collection Let Us Take Share. But They Are Charging 2 To 2.90 Laks As Rent Then What Will The Small Producer Get After Tax Cut Even In 40 To 50% Occupency We Have To Deduct Print And Publicity And 10% Distributors Commission , Then The Producer Gets Zero Or Have To Pay Back To Them In Reverse ============================================================ Imp : Recently They Have Taken A New Decision I.E To Form Syndicate So That They Wont Have Competetion Among Themselves In Buying The Big Films For Nizam Area , So Now They Will Fix The Area Rates. Big Films Will Be Around 15 Yearly. [Mahesh,Ramcharan,Ntr,Pawan,Bunny,Prabhas,Raviteja,Nag,Venky ,Ram, Balayya,Nagachaitanya,Rana,Siddartha.] So Each Will Get 4 To 5 Films Yearly. So The Producer Has To Sell Their Film To These 4 Buyers Or Go For Own Release Again That Will Be Difficult For Them As Most Of The Theatres Are In These 4 Control Only. Big Producers Ki Kooda Spot Pettabothunnaru. Ee Dopidi Agali, Dalari Vyavastha Povali. Guttadhi Pathyam Nasinchali. Call Them To Open Heart Programme [Abn Aj Channel] Or To Tv9 And Other Channels For Open Discussions Let Us Start Hunger Strike [Thousands Are There To Join ] Till This Looting Ends. ========================================== Note: There Is One Dialogue In âLeaderâ Rendu Kotlu Chaalava 20 Kotlu Kaavala? 20 Ekaraalu Chaalada 200 Ekaraalu Kaavala? Intha Mandhi Pottalu Kotti Poyetappudu Theesukelthara CM42014 | ||

The Telugu Film Industry Is Being Exploited By Noted Film Producer D.Ramanaiduâs Son Mr D.Suresh Babu. Few Years Back Suresh Entered Into Film Theatres Lease Business Starting With Few Theatres, After Seeing The Huge Profits In That He Aggressively Concentrated On That Leaving Film Production Business Taking Maximum Number Of Theatres Into Lease By Benami Names Of His Staff And Relatives, From Then Onwards The Downfall Of The Small Budget Films Started. Many Film Distributors Closed Their Offices Unable To Bear The High Rentals Charged By Sureshbabu And His Associates, Many Small Budget Film Producers Stopped Making Films And New Producers Are Suffering Huge Losses As The Little Revenue That Comes From Theatres Are Eaten Away By Sureshbabu&Co Usually He Takes Lease Of The Theatre For 80,000/- He Charges 2,80,000/- And Even More As The Rent From Buyer/ Producer Depending Upon The Situation At That Time, So He Is Paying 10% To The Theatre Owners And Collecting 25 To 30% From The Producers Or Buyers. Even The Theatre Owners Are Unable To Run The Theatre As They Have To Run For Films Each Friday To These Syndicate [Big4] Offices And They Will Trouble Him Like Anything Either Ask For More Advance Or Some Way , He Will Be Fed Up Within Notime And Agrees To Give Theatre To Lease To These Syndicate, Fear Of Non Supply Of Films Also Makes Him Shut His Mouth And He Says He Voulanterily Agreed To Give The Theatre With Out Any Pressure From Them. In Most Of The Towns Of Andhrapradesh State They Have 9 Out 10 Theatres Under Their Lease So Any Producer/Buyer Has To Come To Their Terms With Out Any Way, As The Big Film Producers Can Bear This Rental System , Most Of The Small Budget Film Producers Are Remaining As Sufferers. Suresh With His Influence In The Govt Got The G.O To Increase The Movie Ticket Rates, To Increase Weekend Numbers For Big Films Sothat He Can Further Increase Rents, Which Effected Small Movies Badly. Audiences Are Selective As They Cant Afford To See More Movies. Due To These Selfish Methods Of Sureshbabu Many Talented Technicians Are With Out Job In The Industry, Unable To Bear This A Small Agitation Started By Film Directors Against This Theatre Lease System Which Is Getting Full Support From All Corners And People Realized How Much Hatred Ppl Has Got On Sureshbabu. Now For Small Film Producers , Technicians And Buyers This Is Do Or Die Situation As They Are Facing Survival And Existence Problems. Andall Are Prepared For The Worst And Ready To Face Anything . When Questioned By Media Sureshbabu Says Let Them Make Better Films, Successful Films And They Make Flops , Y Blame Me? He Asks, Ok Then Y R U Making Flop Movies And Other High Budget Movies Made With The Budget Of 20 To 25 Crores R Not Able To Run For Few Weeks Y, Success Rate Is Lower Throughout India Not Only In Our State. His Dad Ramanaidu Defends His Son Saying â If My Son Stops The Lease System Then Reliance Group Will Take Over Or These Theatres Will B Converted Into Marriage Halls, Y Do U All Blame My Son When He Is Making Profits Out Of It, What Is Wrong In Doing Business.â He Argues.. Yes He Is Doing Film Business But The Business Comes First For Him Not The Film, If What He Is Doing Is Legal, Then Y Does He Takes Lease Agreements On Different Benami Names, Is This Not Cheating. Just To Escape From The Monopolies And Restrictive Trade Practices Act From Registrar Of Companies. Suresh Babu Gives Percentage To Directors Instead Of High Remunerations For His Films 2 Gain But He Never Gives Theatres On Percentage Wow What A Double Standard Thinking. In Any Industry The Product Manufacturer Gets More Profit Bt Not Here See This Ex âX â Film Collected 3,50,000/- For 1 Week, The Lesse Took 2,75,000/- As Rent And Paid 25,000/- After Deducting Taxes Etc⦠So Suresh Babu Pockets Huge Money Which Actually Shd Belong To The Producers/Buyer. ⢠Easy Money Earned Will Go Away So Easily. ⢠Over Greedy Ppl Never Had A Peaceful Life. ⢠Exploiters Ending Will Be Very Pathetic. ⢠The Suffered Souls Curses Will Haunt His Family Through Out Their Life. ⢠He Lost Creativeness On Selfish Thinking And Instead Of Getting Accolades As Gud Filmmaker He Remained To Become A Raavan As Hardcore Business Man . ⢠He Is Money Making Machine With Out Heart. ⢠He Cant Come To Any Public Function With Out Fear , As He Is Guilty And Hv The Fear , Any Body Can Insult Him Any Time. ⢠Small Producers Shd Float A New Association ⢠âTelugu Film Small Producers Councilâ [Tfspc] Regd Organisation, Under The Ap [Telangana Areas] Public Societies Regd Act 1350 F) Electing Dasari Narayanarao As The President ⢠Telugu Film Producers Council [Tfpc] Has Become Telugu Film Big Producers Council,As Its Neglecting Small Producers Problems. The Moment Suresh Leaves This Dirty Lease Business After Earning So Much Of Unhealthy Money , Thousands Of Families Will Celebrate. Hope That Day Is Not Far Off , If That Never Happens Then This Agitation Will Continue Till This Looting Stops Permanently. Save Telugu Film Industry-Campaign. CM42014 | ||

The villain of the piece is⦠SERISH NANISETTI As the Telugu film industry battles a crisis of riches it is easy to point out a known evil, what about the known unknowns? The plot is thickening for the discovery of the villain who is pulling down the Telugu film industry into a debt trap, pedestrian formulaic flicks and déjà vu. Is it the remuneration of superstars, greed of successful directors, wasteful art directors, script-writers losing the script as is being made out to be, or is it something as mundane as a small cinema hall owner who wants a regular stream of income? âWhen we released a Tamil cinema dubbed into Telugu we came to know that it takes only Rs 1 lakh to release a film in Tamil Nadu, whereas we had to spend Rs. 60 lakh to release the movie in Andhra Pradesh,â says a distributor from Nizam region. âThis high price for releasing a film in Telugu is shutting down the avenues for small time producers and directors. There is no dearth of talent in Andhra Pradesh but as the cost of making and releasing a Telugu film is very high, everyone looks for a safe bet: a director who has had a big hit, or an actor who promises the goods. People forget that plot is the hero,â says another well-known distributor of movies. A look at the fundamentals shows how the screw is turning against small-time directors and producers. âA few people control the cinema halls by hiring them for Rs. 2,25,000 per week. If a distributor wants to release the movie he has to shell out Rs. 3,25,000. Out of 115 cinema halls in Hyderabad, about 75 have been leased out and the slots are booked. But before that the producer has to make at least 100 prints which would cost about Rs. 60 lakh. Not just that, the few families controlling the industry also have a few stars and when their movie releases, all the other movie makers are elbowed out,â says a two-movie director (nobody was willing to go on record with their name). The effect of this monopoly can be seen when a movie releases in 60 cinema halls and in other weeks eight movies release in a few cinema halls. The movie in 60 cinemas will be called a hit whatever the response while the movies in a few cinema halls will be flops whatever the response. It is a no-brainer that to release a film, a producer has to shell out Rs. 60 lakh for 100 prints when the same can be done for Rs. 1 lakh with digitalised cinema halls. âMore than 92 per cent of the cinema halls in Tamil Nadu are digitalised whereas in Andhra Pradesh only two per cent of the halls are digitalised. It is not that the big-wigs don't know how it works. For some cinemas which are un-remunerative, the lease rates are not just lower they have been digitalised. Some of the digitalised cinemas in Hyderabad are in Langar Houz, Balanagar, Jahanuma and Suraram. A few years back when cinema halls across the country were getting digitalised, one company tried to get the cinema owners in Andhra Pradesh to make the switchover but without success. If the cinema halls were digitalised, it would not only lowered the cost of releasing a cinema but also helped the industry take a shot at piracy. The piracy factor hobbling Telugu cinema is a hydra-headed technological monster. It can be fought only with technology. A recording of a film screened in a cinema from a film cannot be detected. While a pirated copy of a digital movie can be easily traced back to the delinquent cinema. The story boils down to this. A few families have heroes, they produce movies, they control a majority of theatres through lease arrangements, they own labs to process the films. At every stage of value chain if a few families play a role, the industry loses out. Now is the time for the industry to take a call: Whether it will let a few families control the industry limiting creativity or whether it will let dozens of creative folks come into their own. http://www.hindu.com/fr/2010/05/14/stories/2010051450030100. htm CM42014 |
