Samantha-Takes-Last-22-Minutes-of-YVM-1716

Heroine Samantha is the most hottest and busiest actresses in south cinema right now. In Tollywood, she has nearly four films on the floors and she has also signed up a Tamil film. But she is making news for another reason not so positive.

It is heard that Samantha was actually chosen by director Gautham Menon for his new Tamil film starring Simbu. But almost everything got confirmed, the latest news is that Samantha is out and her place has been given to a new girl Pallavi. Pallavi has done few ads and is a Marathi actress. Many are wondering why this happened and inside reports say it was Samantha who was not showing that inclination due to some pressures from external sources.

Buzz is that Gautham Menon felt if Samantha is like this then working with her would be difficult. It was Gautham who introduced Samantha to the film industry and made her a star overnight with her role as Jessie in ‘Ye Maya Chesave’. Now, she seems to have given hand to her own guru, say cine circles.

Share

Venkatadri Express 01

Rating:3/5
Film: Venkatadri Express
Starring: Sundeep Kishan, Rakul Preet Singh
Director: Gandhi M
Producer: Kiran
Banner: Anand Arts Creations
Music: Ramana Gogula

Story

Sundeep (Sundeep Kishan) is a happy-go-lucky guy, son of a strict retired headmaster Ram Murthy (Nagineedu) who imposes rules and doesn’t tolerate indiscipline in his house. Vexed with his son’s behavior who does 99 mistakes, Ram Murthy says he would be thrown out of house if he does one more mistake. The family boards Venkatadri Express train for Sundeep’s elder brother Brahmaji’s wedding. Sundeep misses the train and he tries his best to catch the train from being banned from his family. How does his journey happen form the rest.

Performances

Sundeep Kishan does a decent job and is impressive in the first half. He is apt for the role and there are good action scenes for him.

Rakul Preet look cute and she does her part well with in the limited role she had. Nagineedu is first-class, Brahmaji is entertaining, Thagubothu Ramesh is hilarious, Sapthagiri as Dasthagiri excelled, MS Narayana is boring. Others were adequate.

Technical Analysis

Chota K Naidu’s cinematography is first-rate while Ramana Gogula’s music is impressive and Mella Mellaga song is shot well. Direction by debutant Merlapaka Gandhi is commendable. Screenplay is neat and racy especially in the first-half. Editing is neat and dialogues are impressive. Production values are standard.

Analysis

Venkatadri Express has wafer thin storyline but director’s treatment worked well and it doesn’t go off the track. Screenplay is racy and the situational comedy works well in the first half.

Debutant Merlapaka Gandhi proves his mettle with the debut film. Emotional scenes and father-son plot were handled quite well. Thagubothu Ramesh and Saptagiri comedy scenes were at peaks that it’s fun watching them. Twists in the second half were handled well though it the second hour was a bit lengthy and predictable at times. First half of the film is quite good that it raises your expectations but the second half may disappoint due to predictability and abrupt climax episodes. All in all, Venkatadri Express is a fun watch despite its flaws, and coming from a debutant director, we call it a commendable attempt.

Final Verdict

Good comedy and taut screenplay makes Venkatadri Express a fun journey, despite very few flaws.

Ileana’s big romance with star hero leaked

Share

For many south actresses, going to Bollywood is the ultimate dream and even some of the top range heroines from here have gone there. One among them is Ileana. When she went, many in filmnagar felt she did a wrong move.

For sometime, things looked dull like that for Ileana but now it appears she has got a very big break. According to reports from Mumbai, it is heard that Ileana has been chosen for a big film and that too with none other than Salman Khan.
News is that this film will be made by the famous Sooraj Barjatya who made films like ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ and ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’. This is also going to be a typical family entertainer where Ileana will romance Salman and that forms the crux.
Though she made a good entry with ‘Barfee’ it must be said that Ileana is yet to get a proper hit commercially. And if this film materializes, her range will grow big. All this is good but it is going to be sad news for her fans here as her chances of return will become more slim.

OMG.. Hot beauty is on fire!

Share

Hansika, who has made it big in South cinema, has always stayed away from affairs and linkups until she has done a movie with Kollywood Casanova Simbu. Like many heroines in the past Hansika too has fallen prey for Simbu’s romantic tricks and came in open that she is in a relation with him. Within no time, this relationship has ended and both of them parted ways.

People thought that this would affect Hansika emotionally. They speculated that she is so depressed with the breakup and not showing interest on films. But Hansika is not that amateurish and proved her critics wrong by taking up wonderful projects in Tamil and Telugu industries. She currently has nine films on hand.

Yes NINE! No other South heroine has that many projects on hand at the moment. She is certainly on fire as most of these films are highly anticipated projects. Hansika is striking a balance between Tollywood and Kollywood. She is being careful not to lose touch with Telugu cinema due to her busy schedules in Tamil. That is paying off superbly for her. Great going Hansu!

In-House Competition Targeting Mahesh

Share

Like in mega family where a bunch of heroes are emerging in no time to enthral audiences, now the same thing is happening with Superstar’s family too. Slowly, the number of heroes from Mahesh’s Khandan is increasing.

We have seen Mahesh’s younger sister’s husband Posani Sudheer Babu as a movie hero already. If he is not related to Superstar’s family, it would have become definitely tougher for him to cut into the web of Tollywood. Now, another relative of Mahesh is dropping his net on Telugu film industry. A cousin of Mahesh’s elder sister Padmavathi’s husband Jayadev Galla (Minister Galla Arunakumari’s son), who is related to Mahesh as a brother, Madhav Valleru is now foraying into films as a hero through ‘Hrudayam Ekkadundi’ movie.

These guys are not competing with Mahesh, but they are competing with each other to grab the attention of our Superstar. Reports have that another family member of Superstar also wants to take on Tollywood as a hero. All these people need Mahesh’s support for launch and promotion for sure. Day by day, this in-house completion is increasing to target Mahesh, and only a big guy like him would handle that easily.

Megastar Chiranjeevi strikes back!

Share

Twitterati is going abuzz that Megastar Chiranjeevi is all set to make a comeback and complete his long pending 150th film. Chiranjeevi, who has been involved in politics all these years hasn’t done any film since Magadheera in which he did a cameo. Shankar Dada Zinadabad, released in 2007 was his last film as the main lead.

If the buzz is to be believed, Megastar will be doing his 150th film very soon on Geetha Arts banner. Mega compound sources have informed few fans regarding this news. So Megastar Chiranjeevi fans are going berserk and happy that their matinee idol is soon going to strike the silver screen.

However, buzz about Chiranjeevi’s reentry is not new to us. We have seen that happen many a times and later Chiru got busy with politics. Maybe he will make a comeback if Congress party performs pretty badly in the coming elections. It would be interesting to see if Chiranjeevi can be as charismatic as he used to be after his reentry.

Why People Wait For Pawan Kalyan?

Share

A general talk being spread in Film Nagar by few jealous folks is that many talented people are wasting their time by waiting for Powerstar Pawan Kalyan. They are citing director Sampath Nandi as a latest example who is waiting since 2011 for his next flick after Rachha. But why do people wait for so long for Pawan?

Undoubtedly many actors and technicians wait for Pawan Kalyan for a long time, this is not because he is an actor of magnanimity or his producers reward these aspirants high. It is because the experience with a Pawan will be a life-time for the kind of personality he is. People close to the actor say that once we start interacting with him, there is no way we could control ourselves from stopping our journey with him. Not just he speaks down to earth, but his theories, his outlook towards life and his attitude in treating everyone as human being rather some ‘rich’ and ‘talented’ guys make him a piece of distinction.

Coming to Sampath Nandi’s case, many a times Pawan asked him to go out and do a film and come back once he wraps it. But it is heard that Sampath is so attached to Pawan that he want to pick another film only after wrapping the one in hand with this mega hero. That is how people close to behave, but not for any other benefit. Narrow minds need to understand this!

‘Extremely Cheap’ – Rana Reacts On Affair

Share

Of late, creating sensationalism has become part and parcel of media houses and that applies a lot to web media. Surprisingly, a website and a leading news paper have come up with a story on actor Daggubati Rana again and linked him with Sandalwood actress Ragini Dwivedi. Check what Rana is saying about this.

The young hunk hero, who is busy with the shooting of his latest flick ‘Rudramadevi’, blasted the media house for becoming a ‘random gossip house’ rather writing the actual. Apparently, the print media section of this house wrote that Rana is dating actress Ragini Dwivedi ever since the duo has first met in Dubai during an awards show. Also they have published a picture showing Rana and Ragini hugging each other and self clicking. Rana reacted on the gossip this way.

‘You take a random pic from an award rehearsal session and make news out of it. Extremely cheap! You’re a reputed newspaper not a random gossip house’, exclaimed Rana. As the news questioned why our hunk hero is frequently visiting Bangalore other than the fact that he is meeting this hot heroine, Rana explained. ‘I’m there to Bangalore to meet my sister who lives there’, he concludes. That’s the story folks!

Srikanth Addala said no to Pawan?

Share

The latest buzz doing rounds in Film Nagar is that director Srikanth Addala has said “no” to direct Power Star Pawan Kalyan. While the whole lot of top directors are in queue and dying to work with the star, Srikanth’s decision has come as a shock to many. Buzz is that PVP Cinema is planning a film with Pawan Kalyan after his Gabbar Singh 2. For this venture, PVP has reportedly contacted Srikanth Addala but in vain. Srikanth couldn’t take up as he wants to put all his energies for the launch of Varun Tej, son of Naga Babu.

This is not first time, Srikanth missed a chance to direct Pawan as he was the first choice for Mahesh Babu’s role in Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu alongside Venky which later went to Mahesh. So, let’s wait and watch who is going to bag this golden chance to direct Pawan.

Pawan, First Brand Ambassador of A Soft Drink!

Share

It is a known thing that some of the star heroes in tollywood are endorsing the brands of some reputed companies. They endorse the products such as Soft drinks, jewelleries, Soaps, motor vehicles etc.

However, it was Power Star Pawan kalyan, who is said to be the pioneer in brand endorsements among tollywood heroes. Long ago, when he delivered an industry hit ‘Khushi’, he was approached by ‘Pepsi’ soft drink company with a handsome offer, seeking pawan kalyan to endorse their product. Subsequently, pawan kalyan emerged as the first hero in tollywood to have got endorsed a corporate company’s brand.

It is heard that some of the anti fans are creating a sort of confusion among pawan kalyan’s fans claiming that pawan kalyan has never endorsed any brand like his brother Chiranjeevi and other heroes. But the fact is that pawan kalyan is the first hero of tollywood to have endorsed a corporate product. Currently, he is getting innumerable offers from different companies. But then, it is interesting to see whether he accepts doing the ads or not.

APNGOs threaten flash strike

Share

APNGOs president Ashok Babu here on Wednesday threatened that they would resort to flash strike if the Centre introduce Telangana Bill in Parliament.

Speaking to the media here, Ashok Babu accused the Congress party of deceiving the people of Andhra Pradesh by taking up bifurcation of the State. The Congress was out to bifurcate the State only to get more MP seats in Telangana, he said and warned that they would take law and order into their hands if necessary to stop State bifurcation.

Unique animals in ‘Bahubali’?

Share

The film ‘Bahubali’ has been creating a lot of waves of interest and curiosity among the cinema circles and audiences. There are many plus points to the film and now one update has arrived which has become a hot topic among many.

It is heard that some unique animals are being used in the film. Currently, the shooting is happening at Kerala and sources say a big battle sequence will be filmed in that. It is natural that along with junior artists, animals are also required.
But director S S Rajamouli has come up with a unique method. The animals are just created machines which are to be used by remote control. Buzz is that Rajamouli has imported technicians from Hollywood to get these creatures done.
On the other hand, a special set is being erected at Ramoji Film City and it is heard that about two hundred skilled workers are on the job. This construction is happening under the guidance of art director Sabu Cyril. Unless the film releases we will not know how the animals are.

Prabhas’s golden chance to beat Hollywood stars

Share

Though there are superstars like Mahesh Babu and Pawan Kalyan, there is another hero who really deserves the superstar status but yet to get it. He is none other than Prabhas and now he has the golden chance to beat even Hollywood stars.

His film is ‘Bahubali’ and this is a period film which involves battles and swordfights. Hollywood films like ‘Troy’ ‘300’ have fantastic battle scenes and actors in that worked really hard to give that realistic feel. Generally our heroes don’t have that kind of commitment.
They can only give punch dialogues even during fight scenes but building up their body and showing expertise in sword fights is not their habit. But if Prabhas can put his concentration on that and do the needful then he will be ahead of everyone. All he needs to do is prove that he can be a warrior and get into that character realistically doing everything with perfection. Good advantage is director Rajamouli who will extract the best. Let us hope Prabhas makes the best use of this chance and be remembered in history.

Share

With the Telangana bill likely to be tabled in the Parliament during the winter session commencing on December 5, Telangana Raashtra Samithi (TRS) president K Chandrasekhar Rao is expected to land in Delhi on December 3. Sources say he will be camping in Delhi determinedly to make sure he handles back channel strategies till the bill is passed.

TRS leaders reportedly said that apart from taking part in the Parliament session, KCR will be meeting leaders of the national parties in order to drum up support for the T-bill. Despite the Centre appearing to be sincere on tabling the Telangana bill in Parliament, sources say that KCR doesn’t want to take any chances at this crucial juncture.
Along with MPs G Vivekananada, Manda Jaganatham, and party senior leaders B Vinod Kumar, Etala Rajender and K Taraka Rama Rao are also expected to leave for Delhi along with the TRS chief. Sources say that his Delhi visit is aimed at pre-empting the possible attempts of the Seemandhra leaders to sabotage the state assembly session expected to take place after the President sends the draft bill on Telangana to the House.

Babai-Abbai on Full Fire!!

Share

The moment one speaks about Babai-Abbai they get reminded of only one duo. They are Nandamuri Balakrishna and Junior NTR. Though their terms and relations may have taken a blow in the recent past many want them to reunite as soon as possible.

Currently, it is heard that both Balayya and Junior NTR are on full fire. It is not on each other but in their respective films. It is known that Balayya is busy shooting for his film ‘Legend’ whereas Junior NTR is busy with the shooting of his untitled film.
Coincidentally, both are doing action and chase sequences. It is heard that director Boyapati Srinu is ensuring that no compromise is done at any given point and even Balayya is full on with his stunts. The same is happening with Junior NTR working with director Santosh Srinivas.
In a way this is much needed because these two films are very important for both Balayya and Junior as they need a hit at any cost. And both the directors Boyapati and Santosh Srinivas are mass masala experts. Let us hope this brings joy to Nandamuri fans.
