The Prince Strikes Back
Mahesh proved once again that he is "The Prince of Box Office". We were in trance for a moment as we never saw this kind of enthusiastic crowd before (and we doubt if we will ever see again). ATHADU was screened on the 19th August, Friday. Originally one show was planned but due to huge public demand, we were forced to add another show. Despite that some callers were asked not to come to the theater and some people had to go back disappointed. The second theater was sold out in a span of 12 hours. We had a turn out of 442 people which includes standing audience for 434 seats and about 60 could not be accommodated.

The crowds were raving about the movie and Mahesh Babu's performance. He showed such controlled performance in every scene. On a whole this movie has excellent technical values & all elements (comedy, romance, action, sentiment) for all kinds of audience and is worth giving it a second shot. Director Trivikram Srinivas should be commended for his effort in every department he handled. We thank the distributors of Crown DVD(Vishnu mudda & Soma kancherla)for bringing us this kind of entertainment.Lastly,ATHADU turned out to be the HIGHEST GROSSER OF ALL TIME IN CONNECTICUT & we thank all the audience for making this happen.

LOOKING FORWARD TO SERVE THE TELUGU COMMUNITY WITH MORE BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES.
