The year saw many Telugu releases, the major ones featuring major stars like Chiranjeevi, Mahesh Babu, NTR Jr and Venkatesh.
However, Chiranjeevi's Shankardada Zindabad (the sequel to Shankardada M.B.B.S) was quite a disappointment at the box office. So was Mahesh's Athidhi even though it's still running in the theatres.
Here's the list of top five films of 2007:
Happy Days
Director: Sekhar Kammula
Cast: Varun Sandesh, Tamanna, Rahul, Sonia, Nikhil Siddhartha, Gayatri Rao,Vamsee Krishna, Monali Chowdhary
Happy Days is a smash blockbuster and is surely hurtling towards the 100-days mark. The film has done remarkably well for a simple script with non-actors, who are now 'stars'.
Happy Days has also ushered in the 'corporatisation' in the Telugu film industry with names like Pantaloons, Big FM and more involved in it.
