Story: Shiva (Allari Naresh) gets separated from his parents (Allari Naresh,Hema) at the time of his birth and is brought up by his grandmother(Kovai sarala). He falls in love with priya(Monal). Priya’s father asks for his parents’ whereabouts. Siva along with priya goes in search of his parents. What happens after that is what the climax is about?
Performances: Allari Naresh justified the role very well and he does all the spoofs brilliantly. Monal is cute and has limited role. Allari Naresh is okay in the father’s (kamesh) role also. Jaya Prakash reddy does the same role as factionist. The remaining supporting cast has done their job well. There is no story at all but the screenplay is entertaining with some good witty lines. Cinematography and editing is okay. Music is passable with one catchy number. Direction is good. The production values are rich.

Analysis: Sudigadu is the re-make of Tamil film TAMIZH PADAM (2010). The director has taken only the concept and a few (Introduction, Climax ones in particular) scenes and has built a very entertaining and engaging script full of spoofs from hit films in Telugu Industry.
All the actors have done decent job in their limited roles. There are almost all the comedians of the industry. Kondavalasa, LB.Sriram, M.S.Narayana as Boys(under age) is funny. Brahmanandam, Venu Madhav, Ali, Dharmavarapu have very small roles. Rachana Mourya sizzled in an item song.
The credit should be given to Bheemineni and his team for coming up with such hilarious episodes which evoked good amount of laughter in the theaters. The Dialogues are very good. The scenes and Dialogues which have come out well are
“Ye maya Chesave”, Boys Pittagoda Scene
“Ammayi Posani Krishna Murali, R.Narayana Murthy, Upendra fan—- first day first show Miss kakunda choosthundi”
Hero making an impression with Anadha saranalayam Scene
“Bharateeyudu” Spoof
Allarinaresh going to Priya’s house and dancing (Premikudu movie) and the SMS request which follows
ThodaKottudu Public School ,
“EE… Gokudu” and the Dialogue “Maree Violent ga vunnadu Puvvulni Ammaylni Choopinchina Aagey laa ledu” in the climax
“EE Pata choodakunda Bayatiki veili Poga Thragatam Haanikaram” in the second song.
Music by Vasanth is okay and the background music (reminding us all movies) is good. Art work is good. Cinematography and editing are okay. Hero (Naresh) does all the heroic deeds our Mass heroes have been doing from ages which bring smiles on your face and you really enjoy them.
Bheemineni has done a correct job in selecting Allari Naresh for this satirical Comedy Spoof. The Script is entertaining and the artists have done good job in making it a Success. Director could have taken care towards the climax, as the climax is not so gripping. This film is to get entertained keeping your mind at home (No Story, No logic)
A very good satirical Spoof (spoofs) on the Drama dominating Telugu Industry Flicks.
I can’t reveal much about the movie as you loose the thrill and entertainment. Go watch this entertainer to this weekend.
Plus: Performances, Entertainment, Spoofs
Minus: story line (not a problem), Climax
Verdict: Hilarious laughing riot all through, watch it for entertaining spoofs

Director Shankar one of the hardest task masters when it comes to films and always strives for perfection. The sensational director was reportedly irked with the behaviour of Brit Beauty Amy Jackson, whom he has cast opposite Vikram as the female lead in I.
Apparently, Amy was turning up late or with sleepless eyes for the shoot and the actress looked far from being fresh due to her late-night gigs.
The concerned director called Amy aside and told her in no uncertain terms that she has to stay away from the party circuit until the end of his film’s shoot as he doesn’t want it to disrupt his film’s outcome. We hear that an embarrassed Amy promised Shankar that she will mend her ways.

Is Chiru next in Line for CM ?

Share

The sudden meeting between Megastar-Rajya Sabha member K Chiranjeevi and Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Thursday afternoon triggered widespread speculations in the media circles.
It was not a pre-appointed meeting and Chiranjeevi received a sudden call from Sonia for a meeting at her residence. And since the meeting took place a few hours before the arrival of Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy to New Delhi, it assumed a lot of significance.
Sources in New Delhi said Sonia wanted to get a feedback from Chiranjeevi on the latest political developments in the state as a neutral observer and hence called him for the meeting. However, speculations were rife that she sought to know whether he was prepared to take the Chief Minister’s mantle in case Kiran is dropped from the chair. And the way Chiranjeevi left her residence silently without talking to media has led to these speculations.
It was only on Wednesday that Chiranjeevi told the media that the people wanted to see him as the Chief Minister. Though he said Kiran would continue as CM till 2014, his statement has raised many an eyebrow. However, it is not clear whether Chiranjeevi is ready to accept the post if it is offered to him.

Tollywood unattractive for telugu gals?

Share

Girls and teenagers generally get attracted towards glamor field and they crave to become stars dreaming of rubbing shoulders with their dream heroes. However a careful observation shows that telugu gals seems to be not interested in making acting in Tollywood as their career. There are hardly any telugu heroine in the film industry unlike Kollywood, Mollywood or Bollywood. It is surprising fact as Kollywood and Mollywood beauties even come to tollywood or Bollywood and shake box office which is the same with Bollywood beauties. However things are not the same in case of telugu girls.
If any film maker says that there are no beautiful and gorgeous looking girls in the state of Andhra Pradesh, then he or she would be at fault because Dia Mirza, Gadde Sindhura and Diana Hayden made waves in fashion and glamor fields but are rejected by tollywood film makers. They are as beautiful as bollywood babes and could have given run for their money. One can never forget Tabu who has the tempting structure. If one say that they don’t have acting skills then one remember how Rajamundry born Anjali was shown the exit door from tollywood. She won the accolades of all in Tamil Nadu and the same is the case with Bindu Madhavi born in Madanepalli or Madhu Shalini who is starring in bollywood.. All of them don’t lack either in beauty of professionalism.
Film makers are in their own world and inhibitions and if they come out of their shell and look, there are many beautiful telugu girls to take on beauties from other regions on tollywood silverscreen.

Share

People however strong or rich will always fear at the mere mention of ‘God of Death’ Yama’s name. However it seems he is enjoying Tollywood silver screen as in many films he gave success blessings to film makers who made films featuring him on Tollywood silver screen. Right from Sr NTR’s ‘YamaGola’ to Mega Star’s ‘Yamudiki Mogudu’ all the films became sensational hits. One still can not forget Jr NTR’s ‘Yama Donga’ which gave him the star status once again in the film industry. Even Venu and Srikanth starred in ‘Yamagola Malli Modalayyindi’ some time back entertaining movie lovers. More recently many films like RaviTeja’s ‘Daruvu’ and some more featuring Yama are waiting in the anvil to entertain movie lovers.
Some more films like ‘Yamaho Yama’ and others are coming to provide hilarious entertainment on silver screen.Now even Allari Naresh is planning to turn genex ‘Yamudiki Mogudu’ seeking success blessings from Yama. Some of the silver screen Yamas who thrilled viewers include Satyanarayana, Mohan Babu and more recently Prabhu, Shayaji Shinde and Srihari are rearing to joing the distinguished list. It is truly a wonder that ‘God of Death’ instead of scaring people who are makingThis shows that though people fear ‘God of Death’ Tollywood film makers and movie lovers love ‘Yama’ for blessing the industry with success providing entertainment on silver screen.

Imminent Change points to good or bad?

Share
The present political situation in Andhra Pradesh and even in the Country shows that change is imminent and the moment general elections are held, people will show exit doors to the leaders that are ruling the State and the Country at present. Many surveys conducted by leading organisations point towards imminent change with the present parties which are ruling the state and center losing its sheen and popularity in public. For many years people have been tolerating corruption, scams, law and order problems etc. To some extent they even tolerated rise in prices, however when Central Govt decided to keep on increasing petrol prices everytime by 5-7 Rs on flimsy grounds they decided enough of it. Then the State Govt decided to increase electricity charges and also got ready to collect dues for earlier years also inspite of repeatedly warned by the High Court not to do so. This made people furious as inept officials show their helplessness in collecting pending dues from defaulters but try to extract more from innocent and honest tax payers.
Many feel that if they do their duty and collect dues on time from VVIPS and Govt organisations which are defaulting crores of rupees there won’t be any need for increase in tariffs. Increase in prices of essential commodities, vegetables, food grains left house wives fuming. All sections of people are angry with ruling Govts at state and center and even though they are trying their best to divide people by caste and regional lines, they have made up their mind to teach them a mind blowing lesson to them. However irony is that there are no other alternatives and they have to choose between devil and the deep blue sea and many wonder where imminent change points to. Whether it is good or bad to people in general.

It has to be seen how movie lovers will be rating Sudden Star with their success stars.

Who is AP’s Corruption King ?

Share

State of Andhra Pradesh is witnessing bitter political battle between various political parties with all the leaders indulging in accusations and counter accusations on each other. It all started with Chandra Babu Naidu of TDP who started accusing later YSR during his rule that he was the ‘Raja of Corruption’. He even published a detailed booklet highlighting YSR’s corruption saga. Later he trained his guns on his son YS.Jagan. Differences with Congress landed Jagan in jail and both Congress and TDP started accusing him as the Emperor of Corruption.

However YSR CP accused Chandra Babu of being the King of Corruption during his 9yr stint as CM. They also name some of his controversial GOs and even Congress say that they are just following his Govt orders. Congress is totally immersed in corruption with one of its minister languishing in jail while another in queue. As many as 6 cabinet ministers received notices from Supreme Court and opposition parties are putting Congress Govt in the dock. Some allege its chief Bota Satyanaraya is the Corruption Emperor having involved himself in liquor mafia and land scams.
Who ever emerges winner in this race, some say will pale in comparison to the money Raja, Kanimozhi, Maran made in 2G or those involved in coal scam made. Lalu, Jaya, Maya are far ahead of all these people in corruption. One has to wait and see what verdict poor people whose money has been looted will pass on these high profile politicians.

Censor Board turning blind

Share
 Film Industry has Censor Board to monitor the good and bad it is doling out to the society and try to put it on right track whenever film makers deviate in different directions. In the olden days board members used to be very strict and never used to allow even slightest of double meaning dialogues or even lyrics in the songs. However with the influence of Hollywood films they used to be a bit liberal but however compared to bollywood films, films from South still took time to break free from shackles of traditions. Even now slightest comparison between films from bollywood and south, shows that bollywood films passes censor board with intimate kissing scenes and erotic romantic scenes unlike southern films which face road blocks for a few minutes lip locks.
Film makers from South allege bias at regional censor board, accusing the director of showing favoritism to top film makers but showing stars to small film makers. They even lodged a complaint against the director with the Union Govt. Even movie lovers who happen to watch genex films are left to wonder how some films are getting passed at the censor board. They cite two small films which went on to complete 100 days successfully. However those two films are fully loaded with double meaning dialogues. Many question whether censor board has become blind. Many joke that censor board is following Gandhi’s principle not to see,watch or hear bad and so is closing its eyes while issuing certificates.

Who is Tollywood’s ‘Tiger’

Share

Movie lovers and Nandamuri fans, especially that of Young Tiger NTR will get angry with the question, as Tiger in tollywood is synonymous to NTR. His stamina, powerful dialogue delivery, breathtaking dances and versatile acting loaded with powerful stunts made him the Young Tiger of tollywood. However film makers are now looking for a new ‘Tiger’. Movie lovers may be aware that Bollywood Super Star Salman Khan created a sensation with is ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ crossing Rs 100crs in just five days and many trade analysts predict that the film will be grossing more than Rs 225 crores in the long run. Already tollywood film makers are ready camping in Mumbai to bag the film’s remake rights and plan for a powerful tollywood film.

Film Nagar is abuzz with rumors that film makers got in touch with Power Star Pawan Kalyan who earlier rewrote all tollywood records by remaking Salman starrer ‘Dabaang’. Fans are still fresh from ‘Gabbar Singh’ memories and they feel that he will be better suited to become tollywood’s ‘Ek Tha Tiger’. There are some other film makers who feel that Natasimha Balakrishna is better suited for the powerful flick and even remark that who ever rewrites the script of the film in telugu, only one name strike them for the lead role and he is none other than Balakrishna.
It has to be seen who will become Tollywood’s Tiger and how Young Tiger NTR receives them and what he will do to counter those tigers and tame them to submission.
