Race Gurram, Yevadu Rule the Roost!

Total 94 straight Telugu films were released in the last six months this year. The first hit this year came  with Ram Charans Yevadu which was released during Sankranthi. Although big starrers minted good money, the success rate was not that bright. Small films hardly made money. 

Among the stars who tasted the success in the first half of 2014 are – Ram Charan, Allu Arjun, Nandamuri Balakrishna, Nagarjuna, Nithin, Naga Chaitanya. Meanwhile, all dubbed movies including superstar Rajnikanth's Vikramasimha, Vishal's Indrudu andBhadram failed to set the cash registers ringing.
