Review by Esskay : Ever since Amir Khan ventured into film production, he has made films like Lagaan, Taare Zameen Par etc., which not only told amazing stories, but also touched few untouched genres.

Director : Neelakanta Producer : Anil Meka Music Director : R.P.Patnayak Starring : Srikanth, Kamalini Mukherjee, Ajay, Kamal Kamaraju and others... Review by Esskay : There have been very few Telugu films that deal with the topic of naxalism.

Director : Jayendra Sarma Producer : M D Kiran Reddy, C Srikanth, Swaroop Reddy Music Director : Sharreth Starring : Siddharth, Nithya Menon, Priya Anand and others... Review by Esskay : The philosophy of living for the moment has been repeated oft by the mystics and the great spiritual leaders of the world – more so in India. 180 is based on the same premise, that living for now is the root to all happiness and that breaking attachments is the highest form of expressing love.

Director : Jayendra Sarma Producer : M D Kiran Reddy, C Srikanth, Swaroop Reddy Music Director : Sharreth Starring : Siddharth, Nithya Menon, Priya Anand and others... Review by Aks : Siddharth bounces back with 180 which is his second release of 2011 after the disappointing Ananaga Oka Dheerudu and 180 incidentally also his return to Tamil cinema after many years. 180, at best, can be summed up as the journey of Ajay (Siddharth) across 6 months viz. ....more Nagaram Nidra Potunna Vela Release date: 24 June 2011. Director : Premraj Producer : Hari Music Director : Yasho Krishna Starring : Jagapathi Babu, Charmi and others...

Director : Bala Producer : Vikram Krishna Music Director : Yuvan Shankar Raja Starring : Vishal Krishna, Arya, Janani Iyer, Madhu Shalini and others... Review by Esskay : Having made films like Siva Putrudu, Nenu Devunni Bala has managed to earn a good number of followers for ‘his kind’ of films. His next, Vaadu Veedu, with Vishal and Arya, is yet another ‘realistic’ tale, though it lacks the genuine ‘shock’ value that his previous films had. ....more Badrinath Release date: 10 June 2011. Director : V.V.Vinayak Producer : Allu Aravind Music Director : M.M. Keeravani Starring : Allu Arjun, Tamanna, Prakash Raj and others... Review by Pramod : While making Badrinath, V V Vinayak has taken up a medley of human emotions like faith, love, jealousy, and mixed it up with sensational news items like terrorism and religion.

Keeravani Starring : Allu Arjun, Tamanna, Prakash Raj and others... Review by Esskay: Director V.V.Vinayak is known for his action-oriented dramas and Badrinath has all the elements that his movies promise.
