It is known that Catherine Tresa’s Brother Christopher committed suicide by hanging himself from the window bars of his room in Bengaluru on December 10th. The Commerce Student seems to be suffering from depression for some time and lack of financial support from his family could have prompted him to take the extreme step. 

Weeks later, Catherine Tresa released a note explaining how important a role Christopher played in her life and how much the whole family loves him. Take a look at it… 

“I lost my little brother Christopher, my best friend, confidante and companion on the 10th of December 2014. I just cannot think of words that would describe the loss. My family and I are unable to grasp the reasons behind my brother’s drastic decision and are in unbearable pain and grief. He was, is and will always be the most important person to all of us as he was the youngest. For the past two years, my brother Christopher was having trouble with parental control, turned rebellious and was losing interest in his education. 

We thought this to be a teen age phase and not wanting to further antagonize him, cut him slack and afforded him due space, all the while having a safety net of other people watch him closely and take care of him. He even went on a spiritual journey at which point we were sure he was finding/discovering himself and were joyful at the prospect of his imminent return to the family. However it turned out that my brother Christopher went back to God instead and we are confident that Heaven is surely enjoying his presence as he was the purest soul I know. 

He found joy in the little things, had the best sense of humor ever and would always make me laugh, no matter how upset I was. He was such a loving person who always saw the best in each person, irrespective of appearances. He was and always will be my inspiration, my support and my rock. It is simply very difficult to put in words what my brother meant to me! He used to spend every alternate week end with me and gave me so much joy. 

He is my angel and the person I love most in this world, and nothing is ever going to change that….not even his passing away!! At this moment of great grief and sorrow, I thank all of you for your prayers, support and love. It is frankly what is keeping me going and humbly request all of you and your families to kindly pray for the soul of my darling brother so that he finds his peace and happiness with God in paradise.

A case has been registered in Siricilla police station against the producers and director of Mukunda. Yadava community has slapped the case against producers Nallamalapu Bujji, Tagore Madhu and director Srikanth Addala for allegedly showing Yadava community in poor light in the film. 

Apparently hurt by the manner in which their community is dealt in the movie, the leaders of the community lodged case against the makers demanding for an apology and to remove few portions of the film. The makers of Mukunda are yet to respond to the community leaders’ demands. 

The movie which marks the debut of Varun Tej Konidela, son of Naga Babu, released on Dec 24 and it opened to mixed reviews. Lack of entertainment and the movie’s slow pace were panned by critics.

Madhura Sreedhar’s ‘Ladies & Gentlemen’ is all set to hit the screens on January 23, 2015. People Media have bought the overseas rights of ‘Ladies & Gentleman and an official announcement will be out in this week. After listening to the concept of ‘Ladies & Gentleman’, director Puri Jagannath was thrilled with the concept and he agreed to give his voice-over for the film. 

Talking about the film, producer Sreedhar Reddy said, “When Manjunath narrated the storyline, we didn’t know whether we can make such an Urban drama in Telugu or not. But after the completing the script, we were confident on our story. This film is based on the influence of the internet on our lives. It’s a subject which the urban section can relate themselves to the characters in our film”. 

First look trailer of ‘Ladies & Gentlemen’ created lot of buzz because of the lip-locks between the lead pairs. Raghu Kunche has provided the music and PB Manjunath is making his directorial debut with ‘Ladies & Gentleman’. Madhura Sreedhar and MVK Reddy are jointly producing ‘Ladies & Gentlemen’ under Shirdi Sai Combines banner.

She was in the news for all the wrong reasons and now, ‘Kotha Bangaru Lokam’ heroine Shweta Basu has moved on and started her new innings. She has joined as a script assistant in a Bollywood production company. 

Sources close to Shweta have revealed that the actress is likely to make her comeback with an item number and she is working out to get back into normal shape.

For any artiste or technician, reaching the top is one milestone. But once they reach there, sustaining the aura is rather difficult. Right now, AR Rahman is facing questions about his talent. At one time, he was praised as the most talented music director of present generation. 

There were people who felt it was a huge honour to work with him and all top producers would queue up to get him to compose music for them. But of late, there is increasing criticism against him and many feel that he has lost his Midas touch. One such example is the music of Lingaa. It is widely felt that if the film had better music, then it would have worked at the box office.

Naturally, given his past track record with films like Premikudu, Premadesam, Bombay, etc, there are high expectations from him every time he composes music for a film. But Lingaa’s music is nowhere nearer to his range, feel many. 

So, did Rahman not like the story to be sufficiently inspired? Or are people unable to understand his music anymore? Some say he has reached the pinnacle of his career and seems to be oblivious to other’s expectations any more.

New Delhi: Indian actresses were on a roll in 2014. Ranging from the serious to the dramatic, action-oriented to comic, Bollywood’s leading ladies vivified their personas with novel scripts and made the movie-viewing experience all the more thrilling and entertaining. IANS lists the top female performers of the year in Hindi filmdom:

1. Kangna Ranaut: Her heartfelt performance in the women-centric melodrama “Queen” earned her a lot of kudos from critics and viewers alike. The film turned out to be a success at the box office as it bagged Rs.55 crore despite its modest budget. The actress appeared in two other films this year – “Revolver Rani” and “Ungli” – both of which did not perform very well, but her performance was lauded. 

2. Alia Bhatt: Her sheer frivolity in “2 States” and her portrayal of a vibrant, free-spirited girl who develops an affectionate relationship with her kidnapper in “Highway”, has landed Alia amid a mound of praise. With three films this year, the actress made her presence felt in the cinematic world with Imtiaz Ali’s “Highway”, which raked in Rs.30 crore. The 21-year-old also appeared in “Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania”, which received a lukewarm response. 

3. Priyanka Chopra: The former Miss World and National Award winning talent showcased her versatile acting talent with “Mary Kom”, a biopic on Indian boxing champion MC Mary Kom. The film collected around Rs.54 crore and further secured Priyanka’s place among top actresses in present-day tinsel town. 

4. Rani Mukerji: Her personification of the aptly labelled ‘Mardaani’ police officer Shivani Shivaji Roy, and her raw, unswerving and invincible rage against the child trafficking mafia attracted humungous praise from noted critics and movie-goers. “Mardaani”, directed by Pradeep Sarkar, was a low-budget film but it minted Rs.40 crore.

5. Deepika Padukone: The exuberant role that Deepika played in “Happy New Year”, which earned Rs.188 crore at the box office, appealed to the audiences, who were also excited to see the Shah Rukh Khan-Deepika pair on-screen after they were last seen together in “Chennai Express”. “Happy New Year” is the flamboyant actress’ third hit with SRK following “Om Shanti Om” and “Chennai Express”. 

6. Shraddha Kapoor: After “Aashiqui 2”, which released in 2013, “Ek Villain” and “Haider” turned out to be great projects for Shraddha Kapoor this year. While “Ek Villain” collected over Rs.96 crore, “Haider” minted Rs.50 crore. 

7. Anushka Sharma: With the release of Aamir Khan-starrer “PK” right around the corner, it seems like she saved herself for the last, only to emerge as a promising wild-card entry to the bevy of actresses who dominated the year. 

Her pixie look and jaunty persona in the film have received as much accolades as has Aamir Khan’s ‘alien’ character in the entertainer, which has set the cash registers ringing.

He has two hits to his credit, but his third film is still wobbly. So, Srikanth Addala is a worried man these days. Usually, it is the norm for producers to hold press conferences and talk of the collections their films are making. 

But till now, Mukunda’s producers haven’t made any such efforts. Srikanth Addala himself held a press conference and gave out the figures. He announced that the film made Rs 3.4 crores on the first day, though inside talk is that the film actually made Rs 2.9 crores.

To find out who is correct, one has to see the daily collection charts. And these come from theatres to distributors, which will then be passed on to the producers. But they will not be available to others. 

Well, collections, apart, there are doubts about Mahesh Babu experimenting with Addala after getting a huge flop with Sukumar’s experiment. Since Srikanth Addala was supposed to do Brahmaotsavam with Mahesh, now he is worried if the project will take off. This could be Srikanth Addala’s problem.
