Arundhati tops the charts

Sankranthi had been a competing arena for movies since decades in the Telugu film industry. Sankranthi being a very important festival in the southern parts of the country, movie makers are always keen to make cash out of the festive mood of the season. As usual, there were quite a few films that competed for their share in this Sankranthi. Interestingly, there was not even a single high-budget film released this Sankranthi and the competition was completely among the smaller movies. Among them, Arundathi was least expected to make it to the top but this is what happened.
After movies like Mental Krishna and Sashirakha Parniayam disappointing at the box office, Maska seemed to be theĀ winner this year but that weas only till Arundhathi arrived. Arundhati had been receiving extremely positive reviews and is also considered by some, as one of the best movies, Tollywood has ever made. This movie banked on the graphic effects and the quality of these graphic works equalled those seen in some of the top notch Hollywood flicks. Not just the graphics but the movie boasts of a taut plot with unexpected twists which keep the audience on his feet through out the movie.
Now, it is more than clear that this years blockbuster is Arundhati and is almost impossible for any other movie to surpass Arundhati. A word of caution! Do not go for the pirated prints, at least for this movie. The movie is to be seen for the graphics and sound effects and thus should be seen in a good theater.
