Explosive Tweets From Harish Shankar

Share

Actually it happens to be a rain of tweets for director Harish Shankar who is enjoying the success of Ramayya Vastavayya. When someone questioned him about his tweets today, the director has given some immediate clarity.

Some fans and followers of him on twitter asked today as to why he has raised the expectations bar for Ramayya Vastavayya with his tweets. ‘My tweets on Ramayya might have raised the expectations. But honestly I’ve never tweeted about Ramayya only to raise expectations’, said Harish Shankar. (Expectations perigi undochu. But penchaalani maatram tweet cheyaledhu to be honest).

Also some fans asked him why he is not very much active on twitter since the release of Ramayya Vastavayya. Harish Shankar asked them to check his twitter page from last two days if he is active or not. ‘I’ll not login to twitter only when I have appreciation, and I’ll never logout when there is criticism’, said Harish. (Appreciation unnappudu Login avvadam criticism unnappudu Logout avvadam Naaku chetha kaadu).

Also there are is some heavy criticism on Harish Shankar, albeit personally too, and for all such things our director is having only one answer. ‘I always welcome criticism of work, but never encourage criticism of a person’, says Harish.

Renu Desai thanks Pawan Kalyan!

Share

Remember Renu Desai, the Badri heroine who sizzled opposite Pawan and made a mark for herself? She even paired up with Pawan in Johnny and worked together with him as his costume designer. Later the duo married and got two children Akhira Nandan and Aadhya. The buzz has it that both Renu and Pawan are staying away from each other for a while.

Renu is now producing a Marathi film as her mother tongue is Marathi. Speaking to media, Renu said, “Considering my background in Tollywood, if I’d produce a film there, it’d be good. But due to my roots in Pune and my passion for Marathi films, I’m venturing into production of Marathi films.”

The title of her maiden movie is Mangalashtak Once More. Renu said, “For the past 10 to 15 years, I’ve been part of story discussions and music settings which gave me immense exposure on film-making. I should thank Kalyan (Pawan Kalyan) for that. With that experience, I’m producing this film.”

Meanwhile, the talk is that Renu is being rough with people on sets. Reacting on it, Renu said, “It’s okay for people if men scold women but otherwise, everyone make it an issue. I’ve asked them to improve many times but they didn’t. Hence, I scolded them like any other boss does. If I’d have been silent, it’d be mistake and wrong doing for my film. I did it and it was misrepresented in media.”

Looks like, Renu is sending signals that she wants to stand up on her own. Great going Renu, keep it up. Hope we will see new woman entrepreneur in days to come.

Attack on Telugu film shoot in Kerala

Share

In what is seen as unprecedented and unfortunate, the shooting of a Telugu film has been disrupted by a group of people in Kerala. According to unit, a bunch of miscreants who claimed as supporters of local RSS activists in Kerala, attacked the shoot of Sundeep Kishan’s upcoming film Ra Ra Krishnayya on Friday when the shooting was taking place in a temple nearby Alleppy, Kerala.

Sundeep posted on his micro-blogging page twitter, “We were shooting a temple scene(with official permissions)..what kind of welcome is the state of Kerala giving us. Some of the kerala local actors were beaten up saying why they were acting in a telugu film..this is the kind of respect the state is giving.”

He further posted, “Regina and I were immediately whisked away..my dir was attacked..what about the safety of the crew..horrible. Not trying to generalize bt no human being has the right to physically abuse any human being ever..Esp stating being a non local as a reason.”

Sundeep clarified, “I m not one to lose my temper easily..my manager is a 57yr old who got beaten up & my dir was attacked. And all this in a temple. The 1st thing they said before they hit my manager is U r a Muslim,who the hell r u to get permission in the temple to shoot. just depressing to know that such a thought doesn cease to exist even in 2013.”

Starring Regina in the female lead, the youthful romance is directed by debutante Mahesh.

‘No Bikini, No Kissing, No Short Clothes’

This isn’t related to any commercial but the code of conduct Sonakshi Sinha who most successful actress in recent times has been following ever since she made her debut as an actress. Even though her contemporary heroines have been indulging in skin show, no filmmaker approaches Sonakshi with such roles our chubby beauty isn’t insecure and wishes to continue in the same fashion.

Sonakshi Sinha’s strength is masala films in which there is requirement for actresses like her to enthrall the people of mass circuits. “Small towns are big Today. As long as such films run, I will continue to be the same,” she quotes, ruling out the chances of undergoing any makeover in the near future.

The actress, however, condemns the reports that movies have been the reason behind the increase of crimes against women. “If a girl doesn’t cover from top to bottom, that doesn’t mean she is inviting you. If someone thinks otherwise, their upbringing should be blamed,” quotes Sonakshi.

I didn’t kill anyone: Jwala Gutta

Responding on the Delhi High Court’s judgement allowing her to play international matches, Badminton sensation Jwala Gutta thanked everyone who supported her in the need of the hour and also came down heavily on the Badminton Association of India (BAI) for making her a scapegoat. “I was shocked when I came to know about the life ban imposed against me. Why such a harsh action? I did not dope, I did no match-fixing, I didn’t kill anybody,” she asserted.

Jwala made it clear she loves to play for the country and no one could stop her from playing. She blamed National chief coach Pullela Gopichand and BAI President for taking a harsh decision and not even informing her before addressing the issue before the media.

Earlier, BAI has imposed a life-ban against Jwala Gutta for allegedly stopping the match between ‘Delhi Smashers’ and ‘Banga Beats’ in the first season of India Badminton League. In response, Jwala approached the Delhi High Court and got the much needed relief.

Did Jagan’s fasting yields any result

Share

After getting recovered of his Ketone levels, YSR Congress president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is discharged from NIMS hospital, where police took him after foiling his hunger strike. On 9th October, Jagan was shifted to hospital by the police foiling his deeksha against Union Cabinet’s approval of Telangana note.

This is the second time Jagan has taken up a Deeksha, a hunger strike, for the sake of Seemandhra people. But one would wonder what Jagan has achieved regarding the demands he made with these hunger strikes. Both the times, he is forcibly taken to hospital and doctors injected fluids. None from ruling party or none from government have come forward to issue a statement that Jagan’s demands will be met or at least they will be taken into consideration. Except the fact of convincing people that he stood for Samaikyandhra cause, Jagan’s fast is not yielding any results for sure.People and political observers are waiting eagerly to see what will be the next move of YSR Congress chief, and how he is going to plan to keep the state united. On the other hand, Congress is quick to implement its bifurcation decision with Group of Ministers speeding up the process.

Charan’s Movie as Water Under Carpet

Share

The big doubt that is lingering the minds of all Mega fans since Thoofan’s disastrous fate is about their favourite hero’s next movie. What is Ram Charan going to do now, is what everyone ask. Seriously, what is he doing now?

Fans and Analysts from a time are worried that Mega Powerstar Ram Charan is not going forward with his movies. Though his projects with Koratala Siva and Trivikram are on cards, Charan cancelled them all, worrying his fans. But highly placed sources in Mega camp revealed that actually Charan’s new project is being moved quite fast like water under carpet. Though there is no official news to media, they say that pre-production work of Charan’s family drama under Krishnavamsi’s direction is getting readied at rocket fast. Already script is heard locked regarding this multi-starrer that features Charan and Venky in the leads. We have to see when Mega camp is actually going to make the news official.

From a time Charan actually wanted to organize a Muhurat event for the movie, but frequently varying political situation in the state is said to be preventing him from doing so.

Chandrababu Naidu In Danger Zone!

Share

Chandrababu’s health is slipping into danger zone is what doctors at Ram Manohar Lohia hospital are saying as the fasting Telugudesam president in not at all showing interest to stop his protest.

After being shifted to hospital the other day morning, Naidu rejected injecting of intra-venal fluids into his body and announced that he is continuing the hunger strike at hospital.

Reports say that Uric levels are increasing in Naidu’s body, while Sugar levels are depleting at jet speed. Due to dehydration, doctors are unable to find blood vessels on Naidu’s body surface to inject fluids. Also there are huge variations in blood pressure levels, worrying TDP cadres. Doctors submitted a report saying Naidu might slip into coma if they fail to inject fluid into the TDP chief’s body within an hour or so.

It is quite shame on Centre that they are not responding even now, though the TDP president is on hunger strike from last Monday demanding equal justice for all regions of Andhra Pradesh.

Pawan’s two big gifts to fans!

Share

Power Star Pawan Kalyan is on cloud nine with the blockbuster hit of his film Atharintiki Daredhi. Rejoicing over the huge success, Power Star has been mulling over a while to thank the audience for making the film a huge hit despite leakage of its content through piracy. He was supposed to thank them two weeks ago. But it got canceled due to political unrest and seemandhra agitation in the state against the bifurcation.

With electricity employees calling off the strike and APSRTC employees too joining this suit, the situation in the state has bring a sigh of relief to one and all. Also, considering that Dasara festive is just around the corner, people in the state are in festive mood. So, Pawan seems to have decided that time has come for him to thank his supporters, fans, audience and media.

As promised it earlier, according to reliable sources, Pawan is going to attend to a ‘Thanks giving’ function this Sunday at Shilparamam. He is going to address his fans and media on the stage. This is going to be big gift of Pawan Kalyan to his fans. That’s not all.

Pawan is going to give interviews to TV channels as well! This is certainly very big news not just to his fans but also to media. Because, it’s been a long time Pawan spoke to media and gave personal interviews.

He is often regarded as very silent and shies away from media. Yet needles to say that he is hot in demand for TV channels and all media. Now, with Pawan himself giving nod to give interviews to TV channels, Dasara has really arrived for fans of Pawan Kalyan. And his fans would definitely jump in joy with two big gifts from their favourite matinee idol. That’s Pawan Kalyan.

Ramayya Vasthavayya Movie Review – 3/5

Share

Dovarma Stills001

Rating 3/5

Film: Ramayya Vasthavayya

Starring: NTR, Samantha, Shruthi Hassan

Director: Harish Shankar

Producer: Dil Raju

Banner: Sri Venkateswara Creations banner

Music: Thaman SS

 

Vastavayya review here.

Story

Nandu (NTR), a college student and a happy-go-lucky guy comes across Akshara (Samantha) and falls for her at the first sight. He tries to woo her with his witty ways and Akshara finally falls for him. At the wedding event of Akshara’s sister, Nandu’s violent past comes into picture. Akshara’s father (Mukesh Rishi) and Nandu share the past along with Ammulu (Shruti Haasan) and other evil politicians. What is Nandu’s past? Who is Ammulu forms the rest of the story.

Performances

NTR looked quite handsome and Ramayya Vasthavayya is definitely Young Tiger’s best look so far. The introduction scenes of the actor are feast to NTR’s fans while he has done some stylish dance moves. And as usual, NTR has rocked with his comic timing and dialogue delivery.

Samantha is glamorous and stylish in the film. She has more screen time in the first half and Sam makes her presence felt every time she appears on-screens. Samantha’s scenes with NTR are hilarious.

Shruti Haasan looked good and performed well. But her dubbing could’ve been better. Neneppudaina song is amazingly captured.

Rohini Hattangadi is neat, Ravi Shankar is revelation, Rao Ramesh is significant. Mukesh Rishi, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Nagineedu are adequate.

Technical Analysis

Cinematography is on top-notch while the musical scores are impressive. Jabilli, Neneppudaina and Pandaga Chesuko are choreographed well and neatly shot. Thaman’s background score is good in hero elevation scenes. Dialogues are very impressive. Harish Shankar has created magic with NTR in the first half but the second half could’ve been better. Production values are standard.

Analysis

Director Harish Shankar has showed NTR in the best look till date and fans are sure to enjoy the Young Tiger’s fit look, stylishness, romantic angle, dances and action. NTR’s intro scenes and Duryodana getup are a treat. The first half of the film is racy with the right mix of action and entertaining scenes of NTR, Samantha, Rohini Hattangadi. Interval bang is quite promising raising the expectations.

Second half of the film could have been better. Despite the revenge drama story, the screenplay isn’t much gripping and doesn’t leave strong impact for the audiences. There are too many multiple action sequences and fights and the entertainment quotient in the second half is missing. Climax was a routine fare. The best of Ramayya Vastavayya scenes include diary sequence, NTR, Samantha scenes, interval bang and NTR-Shruti Haasan scenes. With much gripping screenplay in the second half, Ramayya Vastavayya could’ve done wonders. Nevertheless, Ramayya Vasthavayya has a very good first half and few entertaining punch dialogues in the second half.

Final Verdict

Ramayya Vasthavayya is visual feast for NTR’s fans…

Nandamuri fans discomfort with Balayya’s heroine

Share

From a very long time the Nandamuri fans have been praying all the Gods and lucky stars to see that their favorite star Nandamuri Balakrishna would strike back with another big hit after ‘Simha’. As a result, they are putting all their hopes and confidence on ‘Legend’ and want it to shape very excellently.

But now it is heard that the Nandamuri fans are feeling uncomfortable with Balayya’s heroine. She is none other than Radhika Apte of ‘Rakta Charitra’ fame. News is that Radhika who is currently not having any films on hand has recently done few small range roles in two Tamil films. One among them is releasing in Telugu.

Problem is, that dubbed Tamil film is likely to come just before ‘Legend’ so Nandamuri fans are reportedly concerned that this would hit the image of Balayya. There is not much anything can do now because everything is fixed and director Boyapati Srinu got the heroine with great difficulty. We can only wish that ‘Legend’ becomes a hit and wipes away the small image of Radhika.

Babu has beaten Jagan in that?

Share

TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu’s political era can be seen in two phases, pre 2009 and post 2009. Though he was defeated in 2004 and 2009, nothing dented his spirit and strength till YSR’s death and Telangana agitation which picked up in December that year.

Since then TDP has never been this weak and there are rumors that in case the party doesn’t come to power this time, the very existence of this party may become threatened. But for the first time in last five years, Naidu is enjoying some limelight which he has been desperately waiting for.Sources say that with the influx of National leaders and also the coverage of national media for his latest fast at AP Bhavan in Delhi, Naidu seems to be very happy with the manner in which he is getting some mileage since he has been literally crying over all the attention going to Jagan these days!

Ramayya makes NTR cry?

Share

Not only Young Tiger NTR’s fans but also NTR nurtured lot of hopes on his film Ramayya Vastavayya which hit the screens in a grand manner today. NTR for long has been waiting to show his full power on silver screen and break all existing records. He tried to beat Magadheera with Shakti but Meher Ramesh disappointed him.

Later he tried it with Dammu but Boyapati Srinu failed him.  He tried his best to over do ‘Dookudu’ with Srinu Vytla in Badshah. But Srinu Vytla stunned him with Badshah failure.Determined NTR roped in Harish Shankar who gave stunning hit Gabbar Singh to Power Star Pawan Kalyan which came near Ram Charan’s Magadheera.

NTR felt that Harish Shankar’s mass comedy action entertainer like Gabbar Singh if given his mass touch will cross Magadheera thus stamping his supremacy on Tollywoodd silver screen. However Ramayya is making Young Tiger cry as Harish Shankar dashed his dreams though NTR excelled in dances, dialogues,action and stunts.

Naga Chaitanya’s Shocking problem!

Share

It is a known fact that for star kids getting an entry into films is not at all difficult. Only they have to act well and get a hit or two which makes them a big hero. But despite coming from the Akkineni family and having Nagarjuna as his father, Naga Chaitanya is yet to reach that status.

Now, another shocking problem has come up. It is heard that there are no producers coming for Naga Chaitanya. According to the talk from distributor and buyer circles, they are not rating Naga Chaitanya as a bankable star who can pull crowds to the theatres. They also add that his hits like ‘Ye Maya Chesave’ ‘100 Percent Love’ ‘Tadakha’ worked due to other factors.

It is also heard that even Chaitanya has kept a condition to many young directors who approached him. He has reportedly made it clear that the directors only have to get the producers. It is not sure whether Nagarjuna is working on it or not but maybe if ‘Autonagar Surya’ becomes a hit then Naga Chaitanya’s problems will be solved.

Mega Banners Vs Akkineni Banners

Share

These days flex banners are coming at very cheap cost, and anyone can erect them of any size unless they are asked to pay tax from Municipal officials. But that is not our story folks. We are talking about production banners of these two families.

In Mega family we have production houses aka banners like Anjana Art Productions, Pawan Kalyan Creative Works, Geetha Arts, United Friends etc. Though Megastar is a big name, and undoubtedly the big hero of all mega heroes, there is no banner owned by him while Nagababu and Pawan have their own. Allu Arvind owns Geetha Arts, and of course that is also Mega family’s production house only. Big talk is that rather taking up Geetha, Allu Arjun is now starting another production house. Cut to Akkineni group, they have one big banner titled ‘Annapurna Studios’. Though there are offspring like Sri Nag Corporation (Sushanth’s banner) etc, always Annapurna tag prefixes the movies produced by all of them.

Cine observers actually feel that even Mega family should also have one parent banner that stands as a big umbrella like all others, rather each hero creating their own banner and proceeding ahead. What say folks?

Hot Beauties And Their A-Talks

Share

These are not A-list beauties in the tinsel town, but they are related to a kind with their A-talks. We are talking about the Arrogant-Talks being involved by our hot beauties which often result in severe discussions and arguments.

To start with, the other day anchor Anasuya ridiculed Pawan’s ‘Attarintiki Daredi’ as an average fare and supported her decision of not accepting a song/role in that flick. Earlier we have seen Nitya Menon asking who Prabhas was. Sometime back there is Trisha saying she doesn’t want to pair with old heroes, when she is asked to sign Raviteja for Balupu. All these hotties are projecting that as boldness and freedom of expression, but there is a fine line between that boldness and senseless talk, and this senseless talk is also called arrogance.

For example Anasuya stated that she and Pawan needs much better roles to share screen space. The immediate question will be if Anasuya could really act in front of camera except chatter? In the case of Nitya, it is better and must for people to know history of cinema before taking it up. When you are coming to Tollywood, no doubt you should know about stars here. If Trisha has to be cornered, one will ask why she got paired with heroes much older than Raviteja, and also with Raviteja earlier.

The point is all these hotties have a right to express their thought, but the way in which being expressed matters a lot. Otherwise they will be treated as Arrogant-Talks only.

Prabhas giant look!

Share

Prabhas takes everyone by surprise with this muscular avatar which he developed for his upcoming biggie ‘Bahubali’. The major highlight of the film will be surely his confrontation scenes with antagonist Rana Daggubati who is known for his macho image.

The huge biceps shows how seriously he has been working out to suit the protagonist role designed by Rajamouli. His fierce look and body language gives a hint of new dimension he is going to showcase this time.

Rajamouli has now got a hero who could do the unbelievable when it comes to action sequences. The results will depend on how best he uses the resources available for him.

Singh is Rahul’s ‘political guru’

Share

Days after his public criticism of the government over ordinance on convicted lawmakers, Rahul Gandhi on Thursday sought to mollify Prime Minister Manmohan Singh saying he is my guru and a man with good intent.

Addressing a public meeting here in Punjab, he also hit out at the BJP for questioning the timing of his statement on the ordinance saying this cannot be an issue for speaking the truth.

When I met Manmohan Singh ji after the ordinance, I told him that I have learnt a lot from you. I have two gurus in my life – Congress President and Manmohan Singh. You have given me one guru. What Manmohan Singh has done for India and Punjab has given to the nation, no one has given, he said after the foundation stone laying of a cancer hospital.

Agar niyat kharaab hai to kuchh nahin hoga, agar niyat saaf hai to sab kuchh hoga. Manmohan Singh ji ki niyat bilkul saaf hai (If the intent is bad, nothing will happen. If the intent is clear, everything will happen. Manmohan Singh ji is a man with good intent), Gandhi said while showering praise on the Prime Minister.

The Congress Vice President’s remarks assume significance as his public outburst last month against the ordinance that sought to provide immunity to convicted lawmakers was seen as a snub to the Prime Minister as it had been cleared by the Cabinet headed by Singh.

Nayan’s Cake Feeding At Party

Share

Comeback to movies after breakup with Prabhudeva is bringing lot of changes to this Mallu seductress it seems. Here comes an interesting piece about her.

Generally sexy heroine Nayantara is famous for bunking to audio release functions and other promotional events. Also she never attends any parties related to film success or any other post-release celebration of a movie. Other than attending CCL and IPL cricket parties, maybe her fans might have not heard about her anywhere. But this time, she shocked one and all by attending success meet of her latest Tamil movie ‘Raja Rani’. Dressed in a skimpy outfit, Nayan sizzled like a pearl on sand and has cut the cake before feeding it to everyone. Well, what is this sudden surprise Nayan?

Many say that there is a special reason for Nayantara attending the success meet of the film and it is directly related to what she is denying all these days. Anyway, that’s Nayan for you folks.
