Anger, action put 'Arjun' on top

Hyderabad, Sep 1 (IANS) :Anger and action have put "Arjun" on top of the Telugu movies of the week.

The following are the top five Telugu movies:

1. "Arjun" directed by Gunasekar: The saga of an angry Mahesh saving the life of his sister is yielding extraordinary collections all over Andhra Pradesh. Director Gunasekar's slick action scenes and Mani Sharma's different compositions have received a good response. Pretty Sriya's appears to be a poorly etched role. Kirthi Reddy gives the best performance of her career as the twin sister. Mahesh makes a comeback with his breath-taking stunts.

2. "1.4.3." directed by Puri Jaganath: This entertainer has been directed by Puri Jaganath and marks the debut of his brother Sai, and the debutant looks promising. It has abundant action and a foot-tapping score but the plot is familiar. The successful duo of Puri and Chakri has come up with a good album.

3. "Gharshana" directed by Guatam: The cop story withstands the onslaught of new releases. Director Gautam arrives with this semi-realistic movie. The "Cheliya" number has become a rage. It has one of the best performances of Venkatesh.

4. "Naa Autograph" directed by S. Gopal Reddy: The story of a dejected lover is holding its ground. Despite Ravi Teja giving a good account of himself, the film is beginning to lose its sheen. Probably his brat image went against the role. Boomika impresses yet again. "Manmadu brahmani..." is one of best melodies from the baton of Keeravani in recent times.

5. "Sivasankar" directed by Mohan Babu: The much-hyped comeback film of Mohan Babu disappoints because of its poor storyline. Even Soundarya could not save it. It opened with good collections, but the crowds have thinned down gradually. Even his appearance as a Buddhist monk could not trigger much interest. Illayaraja disappoints yet again with an ordinary score.
