Share

Rating 2.75/5.0

Film:Something Something
Starring: Siddharth, Hansika Motwani, Ganesh Venkatraman, Brahmanandam and others
Producer: B Subrahmaniam, S Suresh
Director: Sundar C
Music: Satya C

Story

Kumar (Siddharth) an IT professional stays away from females in his office and even requests his bosses not to put him in teams that include females. Kumar avoids females and turns female hater after he had bad experiences with them since his childhood.

However his life takes sudden change after he meets Sanjana (Hansika), a new employee in his organisation. Though he falls for her, he couldn’t express himself due to fear and in the meantime, he faces competition from his charming and handsome colleague George (Ganesh Venkatraman). To win sanjana he in his desperation meets Love Guru Premji (Brahmanandam). What happens next should be enjoyed on screen.

Performance

Siddharth came with a neat performance. He looked like Lover Boy once again with his cute looks and expressions. Hansika is a big disappointment in the film as she looked older to Siddharth. Even in songs she disappointed a lot. Her role did not have scope to perform.

Brahmanandam is excellent and created laughing riot as Love Guru Premji. Minus Brahmanandam, the film has nothing to see. Samantha in her little role thrilled all, while Rana came and supported Brahmi.

Technical

Editing could have been better in the second half. None of the songs is enjoyable. Cinematography is ok. Director could have created some romantic comedy scenes between Hansika and Siddharth.

Analysis

Director Sunder chose a script which is routine. However he tried to treat it differently, giving comedy flavor to it. In the first half, his treatment is ok as Brahmanandam’s comedy made everyone forget the other drawbacks. The moment he went and the director came to the story and tried to bring it down to the logical conclusion, his drawbacks came out into open.

Director failed to create interest in the film with lack of romantic scenes and love elements between Hansika and Siddharth. Simple storyline and predictable climax are the drawbacks. Though the climax seemed ok, nearing towards it like pregnant experiencing pains.

Final Verdict

Except for Brahmanandam, Something Something has ‘Nothing’ new for movie lovers.

CBI officials conducted raids on veteran filmmaker, distributor and former Union Minister Dasari Narayana Rao’s house and offices on Tuesday in connection with the coal scam issue. They will be questioning Dasari more on the issue and a charge sheet is also filed. As per the inner reports, Dasari followers are claiming Mega Star Chiranjeevi as man behind these CBI attacks.

Chiru is currently playing active role in Congress Politics. There is rivalry between Chiru and Dasari since ages. “While Dasari is trying to maintain healthy relationship with Mega family by attending Mega events and buying their films, Chiru is in no mood to mingle with him. Using the influence of Central Ministry, he made CBI to target Dasari. Truth will come out soon,” say followers of Dasari.

With this scam, the ‘Bobbuli Puli’ maker Dasari is renamed as ‘Boggu Puli’ by media agencies. We need to wait and see how Chiru reacts?

Maruthi Making Bridge for Mega and Super Star fans

Share
Mega Star (Konidela) and Super Star (Ghattamaneni) family Fans are always at war these days for the sake of records. Each of these camps wanted to continue their dominancy on Tollywood BO with new records. Now, here comes one director who is connecting both these opposite compounds. He is most successful Maruthi of ‘Ee Rojullo, Bus Stop and prema katha chithram’ fame.

Ever since Maruthi delivered first hit, he is more or less rated as a man belonging to Mega group because of his closeness to Bunny, Sirish, Bunny Vaas and their publicist SKN. As we know ‘PKC’ had Mahesh Babu’s brother-in-law Sudheer Babu in hero role, this can be obviously seen as a movie connecting Mega group director with a Super Star camp hero. In fact, Mahesh Babu also began promoting Maruthi which means to show that there is nothing like this camp and that camp…its all of them together belong to one group of Tollywood.

Jagan ultimatum to Rama Krishna

Share
YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy reportedly gave a clear signal to Konatala Rama Krishna to leave the party if he cannot abide by the discipline.
Rama Krishna, a former minister of the YSR cabinet has been unhappy and inactive ever since TDP leader Dadi Veerabhadra Rao was admitted to the party. Though Rama Krishna tried to block his admission, Jagan did not bother to heed his advice.
Konatala met Jagan in the jail and elaborately explained that admitting Dadi would be counter productive for the party and that he would not be able to work with Dadi. Still Jagan did not bother about his advice. Now it is learnt that Jagan gave an ultimatum to Rama Krishna that if he wants to continue in the party he should burry the hatchet and work with Dadi. Jagan also made it clear through mediators that Rama Krishna could leave the party if he could not adjust himself to the situation.
    

Is Hari Krishna Launching new Party

Share

Nandamuri Hari Krishna, the estranged brother-in-law of the TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu is said to be making efforts to launch a political party once again. It is also being said that the YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy has become very happy at the development as TDP votes would be split between the two, benefiting his party.

It may be recalled that Hari Krishna was very unhappy at the way Naidu has been projecting his son Lokesh as the future leader, against his own son Jr. NTR who is more charismatic. Though Hari Krishna attended the recent Maha Nadu of the party, he refused to wear the scarf of the party. Jr. NTR excused himself from the Maha Nadu totally, by stating that he was not invited.

Now reports are doing the rounds that Hari Krishna was thinking that it would be good to launch a party and campaign that Naidu had given a go-by to the ideals of TDP launched by his late father N T Rama Rao. Sources said he was no longer in a mood to bear the insults being heaped on him and his son.

There is also another possibility, say political sources. If his health does not permit launching a party and vigorously campaign for it, Hari Krishna may campaign for some leaders who left TDP and joined other parties as they too felt that NTR’s ideals were diluted by Naidu. Kodali Nani who is a close follower of Hari Krishna and Jr. NTR joined the YSR Congress, charging that Naidu bade bye to the ideals of NTR. If Hari Krishna decides to campaign for NTR followers, he may opt to campaign for leaders like Nani who are now in the YSR Congress, say sources.

It may be mentioned here that Hari Krishna had turned against Naidu earlier also and launched Anna Telugu Desam. But that venture flopped. However he might once again launch a party or work for those who left the TDP on NTR’s ideals, say sources. It is learnt that Hari Krishna has already started hectic parleys with his followers. Though his health might not permit to campaign for the new party, his followers are encouraging him to launch it, as NTR could take care of the campaign. It is being said that a decision would be taken very soon.

Dusky beauty’s Double Dhamaka with Pawan & NTR

Share
Dusky beauty samantha is doing the female lead of Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s Aththarintiki Daaredi( working title). The latest we heard is that she might be pairing up with Pawan Kalyan once again for ‘Gabbar Singh-2’. With these back to back movies with Pawan Kalyan, samantha’s range would be reached at its peaks.

Incidentally, samantha is doing two consecutive movies with Jr.NTR as well. Currently, samantha is working with Jr.NTR for ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’. Harish Shankar is directing this movie. On the other hand, samantha has been selected as the heroine for Jr.NTR’s next venture ‘Rabhasa’ as well. This movie will be directed by Santhosh Srinivas. Rarely do we see a heroine doing back to back films at once with two superstars of tollywood such as Pawan Kalyan and Jr.NTR. And samantha is likely to achieve this rare feat.

Shocking statement from Krishnam Raju on Prabhas

Share
How far is it feasible for a star hero to do two films at one time? Well, some heroes are doing it easily but when it comes to directors like rajamouli, minimum he will ask the hero is by laying a condition to stay out of other commitments before accepting the call sheets. So, Prabhas may not be provided with extra comfort of working for one more film in parallel to ‘Bahubali.’

A sudden statement from Krishnam Raju yesterday on himself debuting as director to deal Prabhas as hero is ending shock waves in Telugu industry. ‘Our film will start shooting from August,’ Krishnam Raju is reported to have quoted. If this is really true, how can Prabhas manage himself between Krishnam Raju and rajamouli will be a big question. On the lee side, Jakkanna can neither tolerate nor encourage such unprofessional behavior from his artists?

The Andhra Pradesh government Wednesday ruled out permission for a march to the assembly proposed to be conducted by the Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) on Friday to press the demand for formation of separate Telangana state.

The state government said since the march could lead to violence, no permission could be granted.

Major Industries Minister J. Geeta Reddy has made it clear that the government can’t allow the ‘chalo assembly’ march. The minister, who is looking after home portfolio during the current assembly session, said if the JAC wants to hold a meeting on the city outskirts, the government may consider giving permission.

The ministers from Telangana had Tuesday urged Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy to give permission for the ‘chalo assembly’. The chief minister, however, rejected the appeal, saying the rally could disturb the peace. Meanwhile, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) once again appealed to the chief minister to allow the march. TRS legislators submitted a memorandum to Kiran Kumar Reddy in the state assembly on Wednesday.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Communist Party of India (CPI) have also requested the chief minister to allow the march. TRS and BJP are constituents of JAC, which has vowed to go ahead with the march even if permission is not accorded.

The police Tuesday imposed prohibitory orders in twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad till June 18, banning meetings, rallies and processions.

Questioning how they could say they could come out clean when the matter was before a court, CBI argued that this amounted to contempt of the judiciary.

The memo came up for hearing on Wednesday and the high court posted further hearing to June 19.

Is Vinayak following Chiranjeevi

Share
VV Vinayak is these days no where seen except attending audio releases, movie openings and other film functions. Even industry has no updates on what is really happening behind the screen about his announced project debuting Bellamkonda Suresh’s Sai Sreenivaas as hero. Inner reports are murmuring on, Vinayak has kept the project on hold and is still lock the script.

Meanwhile, Vinayak is moving close to some of the political parties and may even contest incoming elections for MLA seat. If he gets elected with film charisma and Mega family support then ‘Naayak’ will be the last movie of Vinayak. Like his mentor Chiranjeevi, it is good to see Vinayak following a political track and using movies just as a platform to promote his name.
