BJP Pleasing Third Community in AP?

Share
Ever since Congress party scored a big zero with complete washout in the new state of Andhra Pradesh, naturally its rival national political party BJP is trying its best to take the political advantage of the situation. Adding to this, the party is in ruling at Centre and Narendra Modi wave is riding high through out the country.
Eyeing to strengthen its party from the roots in the truncated state, BJP is chalking out plans to please ‘Kapu’ community. As Kamma community is strongly backing up TDP and Reddys sailing with Jagan’s YSRCP, BJP wants to woo another major community Kapus in the state and want to draw them towards it. 
And it also found a star face in form of Pawan Kalyan from the community. Although Kalyan distanced himself from the community and projected himself as a brand, there is no denying that most of the Kapus are following him. This is perhaps the reason behind BJP strongly vouching for Pawan. If reports are anything to go by, BJP’s long term plan seems to be to welcome none other than Chiranjeevi into its fold through his younger brother. 
BJP senior most leader Venkaiah Naidu’s latest comments on praising Pawan and Chiru say that all. Also reports have it that ex PCC chief and Congress minister Botsa would soon be joining BJP. This clearly indicates that BJP is trying to send out signals to all Kapus that it’s an alternative force for them to reckon with.

KCR Opposed YSR Targeting Ramoji

Share
Telangana Chief Minister KCR is known for his frank and bold talk and is not bothered about what critics or detractors say. Recently he gave clean chit to media baron Ramoji Rao who owns Eenadu and Ramoji Group. KCR not only made some interesting comments on Ramoji Rao in Warangal district which happened to be the hot bed and birthplace of Telangana movement. 
This sends signals that KCR gave clarification on all the comments he made on Ramoji Rao till now. KCR even referred to his comments that he will bulldoze Ramoji Film City with one lakh ploughs. Now KCR said he never made such comments but only media twisted his words. 
He gave clean chit saying Ramoji Rao never got even single acre from Government but bought each and every inch of Film City from the Government. He even shocked all saying he opposed former CM YS.Rajasekhar Reddy targeting Ramoji during his rule. 
He added that when YSR tried to takeover Film City, he visited there and asked Ramoji Rao about the assigned lands. He revealed that Ramoji informed him there were no assigned lands in Film City.

Touching TDP Harmful For BJP

Share
Are you aspiring to become a politician? Then you must have the uncanny ability to be manipulative and exploiting situations in the right way. At least that’s how it works in India. You have noticed how many parties have formed alliances in the last few decades and one such alliance is there between the TDP-BJP. 
However, in the last few months the winds have been changing and it appears that BJP wants to go solo in the Telugu states at the cost of defeating TDP. But the political analysts say this will be the biggest blunder. They state ‘Signals of BJP erasing TDP and getting to power should not go to people.’ 
They also add ‘The people have a lot of love towards Chandrababu Naidu right now and they feel that he is the man who comes promptly in times of crisis. So, if they begin to see a threat to Naidu and TDP due to BJP then they will erase BJP from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
At this point, BJP should impress people in natural way and gain their confidence instead of using political strategies. They have already seen the result of that in the recent Amit Shah’s visit to Vijayawada.’ Hope BJP follows this then.

Was Okkadu A Big Flop?

Share
If you were to list out some of the best blockbusters in Tollywood then you will take the name of ‘Okkadu’ confidently. Many believe this is the film which gave superstar Mahesh Babu the much needed appeal among mass crowds and elevated his stardom.
It’s impact is such that ‘Okkadu’ released in 2003 but its remake is made now in Hindi as ‘Tevar’. But then, there are a few in the north who think it was a big flop. For example, a reviewer wrote like this ‘Yet again, we have a remake of an already terrible South film.’
Many feel it shows the ignorance some of the film intellectuals have regarding south Indian films. The logic remains that if it was a terrible film then why was it even remade with some A-listed stars on the first place. 
For the record, ‘Tevar’ has touched a weekend collection of Rs 22.05 crores whereas the worldwide collections have touched another Rs 22.49 crores. This has become the third biggest grosser in hero Arjun Kapoor’s career. Need we say more?

Ex-Minister’s Wife vs Music Director-Similar Plight

Share
All of us have issues in life and sometimes they go overboard but when the same thing happens with a celebrity or a reputed person in society, the impact and effect is much higher. Currently, two topics are making hot rounds across the media and people. 
It is the issue of Sunanda Pushkar, wife of former minister Shashi Tharoor and Sravani, wife of music director Chakri. The tussle between Sravani and Chakri’s family has led to a legal fight with a barrage of accusations. 
Sravani has reportedly alleged that they are eyeing only the property and are keen to drive her away while the family has reportedly alleged Sravani has poisoned Chakri to death and was not ready for post mortem. On the other side, Shashi Tharoor is now being taken for questioning by the Delhi police to solve the Sunanda Pushkar murder mystery. 
It was assumed to be a natural death but now it is being perceived as murder. In both cases, the matter has become an ugly state of affairs and all we can say is, may justice prevail and the wrongdoers not be spared.

But, the number seems to be a wrong number once dialed and the number got transferred to Aarogyasri department. Knowing this the government reacted and asked the complaint desk to take the complaints temporarily and will be on track very soon.

The present most awaited and trending movie Shankar’s “I” has now undergone a major change. As known earlier that the run time of Shankar “I” will be three hours and eight minutes long releasing on January 14th 2015. 
As per sources, the film run time has been decreased by five minutes i.e., the total run time will be three hours and three minutes. So, this should be deleting few scenes and changes should be made clearly without disturbing the actual concept of the movie. 
However, the movie is getting ready to hit screens on January 14th worldwide. So, what do you think? Will Shankar’s “I” create history in Indian Cinema. However, this cut of five minutes for movie like “I” can be a loss of missing creativity in a scene!
