But people who are quite close to Telugu industry are seen expressing their displeasure about Balayya not mentioning Chiranjeevi and his role in commercializing the trend of Telugu cinema.

Mahesh appreciates Krish
Krish – Mahesh movie will go on to sets in Summer, 2013. Aswini Dutt will be producing the movie on his Vijayanthi movies banner. More details of this project are awaited.
Which beauty will be ‘Bollywood’s Boxer’
Movie lovers are having their own analysis as to who could be the heroine. Whether it is buxom beauty Sonakshi Sinha or slim sensation Deepika Padukone or bombshell Katrina Kaif. However even for this film makers are having their own equations. Deepika a born athlete can do full justice to the role but she did not give dates while Katrina is giving tough fight. However she is confident that her chemistry will Akki will work out.
Sonakshi is fully confident that Akshay Kumar will recommend her for the role. Film maker Vipul Shah is maintaining suspense but one is baffled at the boxer speculation because Kajal who played the role of Boxer Nisha was shown only for few minutes in the role.
Pearl City on Taliban Radar
He assured all that steps to nab terrorists and curb their activities will be going on continuously and will not be a knee jerk reaction to some rumors. He said he did not get any new information on pakistani based sleeper cells. He however said the security is beefed up due to Dec 6th blackday fast approaching.
CM Kiran’s show of Courage
Day in and day out all and sundry leaders criticise CM on one issue and other and many ministers after coming out of the cabinet lash out at CM saying he is unfit to rule. All this is nothing new but CM Kiran yesterday in a rare display of courage took a tough call and informed in cabinet meet that CM has full rights to sack a cabinet minister if he goes against the decision of cabinet and criticises in public.
He even cited Supreme Court ruling in Deva Gowda case and put his minister DL.Ravindra Reddy who is going all out in criticising CM on note, sending subtle warning messages. This came as a surprise to many and one feel that he might have got orders from High Command to act tough on dissent.
Can Murugadoss show his ‘Power’ in Tollywood
However Tollywood movie lovers and fans always feel that though he conquered the hearts, he couldn’t conquer the industry with a straight film. True he made a film featuring Mega Star Chiranjeevi in ‘Stalin’ but it didnot create the sensation which was expected to do so. Chiru specially roped in Murugadoss for the film.
Murugadoss seems to be keen on erasing this impression and according to latest information he will be directing Powerstar Pawan Kalyan in an action entertainer which will be starting by Mid 2013. Pawan who rewrote tollywood records with Gabbar Singh is said to have given green signal with in seconds of hearing the narration. This movie will be produced by Allu Aravind under the banner of Geetha Arts and if the grapevine is to be believed, it will be a grand production.
After watching Tupaki many mega fans felt that Murugadoss could have planned such kind of film with Pawan Kalyan. It has to be seen whether he will fulfill mega dreams of mega fans.
Will Sneha’s ‘3D show’ shower success?
Though Sneha made her presence felt in the super hit Telugu movies Ullasamga Utsahamga and Simha (where she was paired opposite Balakrishna), the gorgeous green- eyed beauty never reached the next stage. She is now planning to raise
the temperature with her sexy look. Famous for her girl next door image in Tollywood, Sneha will be wearing a 2-piece on screen for the first time.
A total makeover is what she is looking for in this movie. She has already started her workout regime,working on her body, to tone her stomach and get the curves right.Though she had to struggle in her initial days in the movie industry, she believes that this movie will do wonders for her career and bring her two notches above.

Story
B.Tech Babu(Rana) wants to go to US for higher studies and good earning, Rana does some key roles in the dramas with his grandfather(Kota Srinivasa Rao) who is member of Surabhi Drama Company. His grandfather is against to his wish. Babu wants to perform lastly in a drama “Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum” written by his grandfather in Bellary. Devika(Nayanatara) is Tv journalist who comes to Bellary to shoot a documentary on mining mafia. What happens after that? What changes babu and what he learns in his journey is what the movie is about.
Performances
Rana is good and he performed well. His muscular body and expressions overshadowed his performance in crucial scenes, his expressions are hardly visible in emotional scenes. Nayana tara suited to the role of TV Reporter. Kota Srinivasa Rao, Milind Gunaji, Murali Sharma, Posani are okay. L.B.Sriram sparkled once again in a brief role. Brahmanandam delivered poor show. The remaining supporting cast are okay. Music by Manisharma is fantastic. The technical departments Cinematography, Editing score good marks. The Story is good. The screenplay is racy in the second half. The Direction is good in parts.
Analysis
Krish’s much-anticipated follow-up to his ‘Gamyam’ and ‘Vedam’ features Rana Daggubati as B Tech Babu and Nayantara as Devika, a documentary filmmaker. Rana is good, he has given decent performance and in action sequences he is too good. Nayanatara suited to the role. she dubbed her own voice for the first time in Telugu and she is okay. The chemistry between the lead pair is okay. There aren’t much scenes to depict that.
Kota Srinivas rao is good, he was restricted to only a couple of scenes. Posani Krishna Murali is good as cab driver and he evokes some laughs. Brahmanandam have been wasted. Raghu babu and Satyam Rajesh are okay in their roles. Murali sharma is okay. Milind Gunaji suited to the role of antagonist. L.B.Sriram once again tops the others in a brief role in the second half. He delivered good performance. Venkatesh-Rana shared silver screen for the first time (though it’s for few minutes) with Sameera Reddy in an item song and the response in the theaters is huge.
Cinematography is okay. Art work and editing are neat. Music by Manisharma is fantastic , he has come up with some soulful tunes supported by good lyrics. Manisharma once again proved that he is best in BGM. The background score is fantastic. Lyrics by Sirivennela and ES Murthy are good. The story is good and has a lot of potential. The screenplay is also engaging in parts but the Direction could have been better. There are some scenes which appeared dragged. The Dialogues are good in most of the places. The dialogues have deep philosophical insight. The dialogues are big asset to the movie.
The director should first decide on which pattern and mode to proceed. The characters and the roles of the protagonist and antagonists are not properly etched. If the movie have been taken in the artistic way it could have turned into a master piece by showing the struggle and pain of the villagers who lost their land, children and food.. The unnecessary inclusion of so called mass elements and the ups and downs in the graph effected the flow of the movie. Some scenes appeared forced and artificial. The personal grudge and the public frustration/anguish weren’t well balanced towards the end. Krish failed at places in blending the mass elements to a classical and subtle treatment.
Rana has put a lot of effort and it’s evident, He tried his best in the diction of Dialogues in the Drama sequences. All the songs are well picturised. The item song in the Second half is a pop-up. The Climax get-up as Lord Narasimha Swamy in the song just before the climax is very good; for the common mass movie lovers it’s hard to bear the typical Drama sequences which may bore them.
The first half is okay(even though nothing much happens) and the second half is just okay(with good climax). Krish should definitely be commended for the effort made to portray the essence of Bhagavad-Gita; the movie has a subtle message and is thought provoking. The movie surely gets good reviews from intellects but it’s commercial success solely depends on how it fares at the B,C Centers. How family Audience receive this flick is awaited.
Plus: Music, Dialogues, Performances
Minus: Slow beginning, Comedy, drama scenes,Artificial scenes
Verdict: Decent Attempt, Krish tried to narrate a serious issue in a commercial way and succeeded to some extent
Salman becoming Bollywood’s “Stalin”
He scored hattrick of hits with Ready and Bodyguard and is now busy with Kick. As if this is not enough sources say Sallu Miya is keen to become Bollywood’s ‘Stalin’. The film is a south Indian starrer featuring Megastar Chiranjeevi directed by top director Murugadoss. Murugadoss recently scored a hit with Tupakki and is taking it to Bollywood presenting it to Akshay Kumar.
Salman in the meanwhile sources say will reprise Chiranjeevi’s role in this Bollywood version, which is to be directed by brother Sohail Khan.Salman is yet to give the nod for Stalin and the filmmaker might announce the project once the actor agrees to it.
Stalin was written and directed by AR Murugadoss and the film had Trisha, Prakash Raj and Khushboo essaying important roles. The movie, which has the music of Mani Sharma, was a successful film at the Tollywood box office and is one of the highest grossers in 2006.
Can Dalapathi team create Double Dhamaka?
Even now the film is remembered and now sources say both the stars are getting ready for another Dalapathi. Insiders reveal that Maniratnam’s office is full of discussion with superstar’s film. Superstar’s fans are discussing what deadly impact the film will create. One wonder whether the film includes the same starcast of Malayalam superstar Mammutty and retired but not tired handsome hero Aravind Swamy.
Aravind Swamy is currently starring in Maniratnam’s Kadal while Superstar is busy with his film Kochadiyan. The moment official announcement comes the project will be closely followed with scribes competing between themselves as to what could be the storyline.
Moms and grannies silver screen sizzlers
Now moms and grannies are getting ready to sizzle on silverscreen. It is not that moms and grannies are going to rock on silver screen but beautiful stars are getting ready to sizzle in the roles of moms and grannies. While Sneha is getting ready to star as mom of ten year old boy in the film Haridas directed by Kumaravelan, Bollywood beauty Rekha is going onestep ahead turning grand mother of Sharman Joshi in her next film directed by Indra Kumar.
Sneha says she agreed for the role as it is important role in the film and director insisted and impressed on her that only she can do justice for the role while sources speaking about Rekha’s role says “The actor plays a US-returned guy, who is extremely fond of his naani (Rekha). He stands up for her when she is ill-treated by the family. Randhir Kapoor plays Sharman’s grandfather.”
Brahmanandam insulting brahmins?
The same incident repeated in King Nagarjuna starrer Damarukam where he was seen as a brahmin house owner who rents his house to Nagarjuna. Nagarjuna enjoys merrily with out paying rent and when Brahmi asks rent, he takes him to task beating him to the core. One wonder how could Nag who robs people of lakhs and crores and donates to orphan homes stay for free at Brahmi’s house.
Even now in Rana starrer Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum, Brahmanandam is seen as a drama artist and he is shown at the recieving end with the hero and other characters. It seems film makers in their effort to show Brahmi as comedian is making laughing stock of him and in turn insulting various communities.
Rana’s battle with Amir
While Amir promoted his film on a huge scale even appearing in small screen exclusively on CID screened on Sony TV, Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum is releasing across the world in a grand manner in about 1000 screens. KVJ will surely affect Talaash collections atleast in AP for the first couple of days.
Rana and even the film makers are planning to take the film even in Bollywood considering Rana’s image there. KVJ is an action adventure film , directed by the renowned director Krish . The story of the movie is set in the background of the Surabhi theater play and Bellary which is currently in news for the mining controversy. Rana plays the role of B Tech Babu and is a somewhat reluctant theater actor.
Amir’s Talaash, on the other hand, is a psychological thriller starring Aamir Khan as the cop. IThe story of this movie isthat a police officer Aamir Khan as inspector Suri is trying to solve the murder mystery of a high-profile actor, who was killed in an accident. The story actually brings together the life of three unrelated people in different ways.
Tamil small film makes merry
The movie had also reaped good amount of money at Tamil box office. Superstar Rajinikanth is said to have enjoyed the movie and called up its director, Karthik Subburaj, to congratulate him.
Rajinikanth in Mani Ratnam’s next?
Superstar Rajinikanth has just completed the work on Kochadaiyaan, directed by his daughter Soundarya R Ashwin. The film is expected to release in January 2013 for Pongal. And on the other side, Mani Ratnam has wrapped up the shoot for his upcoming movie Kadal.
Will Review turn in to money for KVJ?
Rana who had been longing for a commercial success had pinned high hopes on this movie. Director Krish is also known for making many honest movies but fail to garner success at the box office. Lets see if this movie changes their fortunes!
Salman Khan calls Siddharth
Siddharth is currently busy wrapping up Jabardasth. He had couple of Tamil movies in shooting which will also be dubbed in to Telugu.
