'Billa' rules Telugu B.O.

'Billa' has done it again. Its Telugu version, starring Prabhas in the lead, has become a stupendous hit at the B.O. In the first 10 days after its release, the film has raked up Rs 11 crore; its collection in Hyderabad alone came to Rs 5 crore.

The film by Mehar Ramesh has lived up to its promise. Spectacular action scenes and scintillating glamour by Anushka and Namitha make for a good watch. Great production values make the film as slick as Vishnuvardhan directed Tamil 'Billa', starring Ajit.

The distributors say the success of the film has been immensely helped by Prabhas's popularity and charisma.
