CBN’s corporate preference a final nail in TDP’s coffin

February 22, 2013

Many poll surveys are predicting total rout for Chandra Babu Naidu’s TDP. In order to resurrect the party he has taken padayatra but many feel unless until there is sea change in Naidu’s thinking and running of the party all these gimmicks will not revive TDP’s fortunes.

Even during cooperative body elections the party is losing the sure shot seats just because of last minute intervention of Chandra Babu and passing diktats in support of leaders or persons with corporate backgrounds rather than those who gave their everything for the party and strove for the party’s victory till the last minute.

Even the cadre is disappointed and if DCCB elections results in losses to TDP it is not because of party leaders or cadre but CBN’s corporate preference that is driving final nail in TDP’s coffin.

Prabhas insults Prince?

February 19, 2013

Young Rebel Star Prabhas during the success meet of Mirchi speaking to media stated that he don’t believe in number game and is more interested in success formula. He went ahead and said one can not be termed number one just because he scored 3-4 hits in one or two years. He said for any star to become number one in the industry, they should give consistent hits for one or two decades.

Many felt that he was referring to Mega Star Chiranjeevi and now media hype over Prince Mahesh Babu delivering hits in Tollywood box office. Mahesh’s last three films were stunning hits starting from Dookudu, Business Man and Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu. One should wait and see how Prince will react to Rebel’s taunts.

Tollywood stars back to ‘success formula’

February 19, 2013

Ever since the advent of films, fans,film makers and heroes are smitten by mass masala entertainers and there is a notion in the industry that film making is extremely simple with 6 songs, 4 stunts shot in extravagantly laid locations in overseas. Now and then there will be some exceptions but otherwise no one would like to deviate from the said success formula for the fear of failure. It is altogether different matter that many films bit dust with the same success formula.

Last two years saw Nagarjuna try out something new as Rajanna, Shirdi Sai and Damarukam. However he is back to mass and romantic entertainers with his upcoming films Greeku Veerudu and Bhai. Similar is Allu Arjun who after tasting flops with experimental flicks like Varudu ,Vedam, Badrinath is back with bang with Julayi and now busy romancing with Iddarammayilato. Similar is the case with Pawan Kalyan who after successive defeats of films like Panjaa and Teenmaar, turned Gabbar Singh and later Cameraman Gangato Rambabu. Prabhas proved the strength of mass entertainers tasting success with Mirchi though Rebel bombed. NTR is trying his best to become Badshah entertaining masses after Dammu flop show and Ossravalli deserting success colors. Just like every rule has an exception, even every formula has exception and that is Prince Mahesh who scored hits with different films like Dookudu , Business Man and Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu.

Political parties hate speech battle in Courts

February 19, 2013

Ever since the up rise in Telangana movement, battle between various political parties and also regional leaders from telangana and seemandhra from same and different parties rose to new levels. Not only leaders but also in the mask of telangana and united andhra agitation even students,employees,lawyers and doctors are competing with each other with hate speeches.

Till few years no one used to care about them but now the hate speeches battle is not stopping there as many are finding their way to courts. Now a case against KCR and Kodandaram hate speech is under hearing in Vizag court with court serving summons asking both of them to appear in person.

Family feuds cornering KCR?

February 19, 2013

TRS supremo KCR for long has been facing allegations from family members but all that was silenced in the heat of Telangana movement. Now that it cooled down, all those allegations are coming out in open once again. Some time back KCR’s nephew Umesh Rao alleged that KCR was using Telangana Bhavan for commercial purposes.

Now KCR’s brother’s daughter Ramya who joined Union Minister Ajit Singh’s new party Telangana Rashtriya Lokdal, was made leader of the women wing of the party. She in her media interactions is inviting TRS cadre who are vexed up with KCR’s family rule to join the new party.

Though she was not forthcoming many feel that there are strong reasons for Ramya ditching KCR. Some feel it was Swami Goud’s entry into TRS politburo which angered Ramya and her husband Madhusudan Rao along with KCR’s brother K.Ranga Rao. Many feel KCR’s brother then took the decisive step of making his daughter Ramya join Ajit Singh’s party.
