Eega crosses Businessman collections !

Share

For the first time in the 82 years of Telugu cinema history, a movie with an animal character as main lead had gone in to the Top10 biggest hits of Tollyood. The movie had managed to cross Mahesh Babu’s Business Man which is currently fifth in the list. However, the movie’s dream run is almost came to an end. The movie though opening to record collections worldwide doesn’t look getting anywhere near the Rs 100 mark, as the theatre occupancies dipped since the third week onwards even though there are quite a few theatres that are running to packed houses in some centers.
Three cheers to Rajamouli who achieved this rare feat with no star power and that too in an industry which is so star centric.

LokSatta JP jolt to Govt !

Share
Lone MLA, Jayaprakash Narayna who showed his ‘satta’ with his NGO ‘Lok Satta’ before turning a politician today decided to give a jolt to ruling Cong Govt at State. When many started writing him off as being Cong agent and even predicted that he would be losing his Kukatpally Constituency, JP
decided to step in the steam giving no breather to Govt.While other political parties and politicians criticized Govt on fees reimbursement issue making the issue as caste related issue, seeking to divide opinion based on castes, Jayaprakash using all his intelligence and information on the subject went hammer and tongs on the Govt authorities, saying conditions and cuts in fees reimbursement is a boon to engineering colleges which are on the verge of closure due to lack of funds.
JP went on to allege that Govt decision is a ploy to help out the management of engineering colleges so that they don’t close. He said the order is boon to the management of engineering colleges just like arogya sri for the management of hospitals across the state. He forbade Govt not to proceed with the order, dashing the hopes of thousands of students just for the sake of helping management of private colleges. He went on to claim that fees reimbursement scheme is his dream project and included the same in his party’s manifesto in 2009 in the name of ’50 guarantees’ for people. He however lavished praises on YSR saying he is a great visionary and no other leader has that kind of knowledge on various subjects. This once again raised suspicion of JP’s collusion with YSR.

Sexananda’s Spiritual Battle !

Share
Nityananda who till recently earned reputation of a renowned religious preacher across the world with tremendous following and innumerous devotees, became notorious when his dark secrets were revealed. When his videos with intimate scenes featuring kollywood heroine Ranjitha was aired he tried to bluff that the person present in the video was not he and some one else acting. He along with Ranjitha crooned the same song and when it was found that the video was not tampered and with some from his ashram vouching that Nityananda has many dark secrets, he at once became popular as Sexananda.
Film makers smitten by the incidents announced some films on his story and one such film is ‘Swami Satyananda’. Nityananda filed a petition in high court to stall the release of the kannda dubbed film would hurt the sentiments of his devotees. He sought court direction to Censor Board to stop the release of the film. The film features comedian Ali who became famous for his dialogue ‘Whop is the katravalli’. Many wonder how could Nityananda who many times defied the directions of Courts and its orders can file petition against the release of the film. Nityananda, who became the head of Madurai Mutt,was caught along with his girl friend and heroine Ranjitha, while trying to escape to Nepal to evade court inquiry on various sex allegations.

Ramu-A politician with Mafia Connections

Share
Crazy film maker Ram Gopal Varma seems to be becoming a politician. Till some years back he made films which created sensation on silver screen winning even the acclaim of film critics. Later on many feel he is smitten by political charms and started dabbling with politicians. He even made films on political and mafia backdrop. He made lot of films like ‘Sarkar’, ‘Sarkar Raj’ casting Big B Amitabh Bachchan and later he came to tollywood at once courting trouble with his film ‘Raktha Charitra’ based on ex home minister and faction leader Paritala Ravi who was brutally murdered in broad day light.
As if this was not enough he did ‘Department’ and even announced a film on 26/11 attacks. In between he courted controversy announcing a film titled ‘Reddygaru Poyaru’ which many felt is based on late CM of AP, YS.Rajasekhar Reddy. Ramu who was adamant not to change title of the film, finally bowed to pressure and changed the title to ‘Ayana Poyaru’. Now he decided to take on Team Anna branding them as Anna Brand. Sharing his idea on twitter he said “I want to make a film called Anna gang..its about a gandhian politician who gets vexed with his team nd forms an underworld gang”.He went on to tweet “Anna gang is the best brand I heard since Dawood gang ” All this shows that Ramu is turning a politician with ulterior motives and mafia connections.

Damodar Rajanarasimha-Death knell to CM Kiran?

Share
When Damodar Rajanarasimha was made the Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh many felt that he was meek, humble and many not take strong decisions or voice his opinion on various issues. Some even said he is just a rubber stamp to CM Kiran Kumar Reddy who himself is a rubber stamp CM at the hands of Congress President Sonia Gandhi. However after the party’s loss in by elections, he became more vocal and started voicing his opinion on various issues that are of concern to the people of the state. He went on to criticise even CM Kiran Kumar Reddy on various counts giving raise to suspicion that he might be eying the CM post.
There was speculation that right after Congress Party’s disastrous performance in the by polls, there would be change of guard with high command calling CM Kiran and APCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana. During that time many leaders went to Delhi to put forward their assessments about the situation in state and at the same time canvass their candidature. Many ministers went hammer and tongs on CM Kiran for his high handed ways. Damodar Rajanarasimha kept quiet during that time and suddenly started making resounding sounds on various issues putting CM Kiran in a spot of bother.
Many feel that he is marketing himself on various fronts in a meticulous manner and is not making empty noises. If this is true then it will surely be death knell for CM Kiran.

Cracks in Telangana Movement !

Share
Telangana movement reached its zenith thanks to KCR’s vitriolic statements raising the tempers and his party TRS cadres mobolising forces along with T-JAC headed by Prof Kodandaram who guided the students of Universities in Telangana. Their organising abilities can be gauged by the success of ‘Sakalajauna Samme’ and Million March. During Sakala Janula Samme, Govt employees from the telangana region, stalled functioning of Govt making the authorities kneel before them, inviting them for talks. The one month long agitation showed the power of the movement. Similar is the case of million march during which many forced their way to Hyderabad and the march culminated in destruction of statues of greats on Tankbund.
However now cracks seems to have developed in Telangana movement with growing mistrust between TRS Chief KCR and T-JAC convener Kodandaram. Recently Harish Rao tried to arrange a meeting between the two but KCR refused to meet Kodandaram saying he is not that great as Kodandaram to meet him. Their relationship reached breaking point when T-JAC decided to support BJP in Palamuru by polls where TRS suffered shocking defeat. T-JAC tried to make amends with KCR supporting the party in Parakal elections but the mistrust is so much that KCR refused to buy any explanations.
Some say KCR is not of that kind keeping petty things in mind and point out that he met Kodandaram on four occasions after Parakal elections. Analysts feel that he is expecting an announcement of Telangana and is busy chalking out his future plans. However indications are not all is well between KCR and Kodandaram the moment Kodandaram started playing important role putting aside KCR. It has to be seen how their mistrust effect Telangana movement.

Can Julaayi turn Jolly Ride ?

Share
Stylish Star Allu Arjun is turning ‘Julaayi’ under creative director Trivikram Srinivas direction. Bunny is romancing hot beauty Ileana. The film is all set to arrive tomorrow in a grand fashion across the globe much to the delight of all his fans. Mega fans expect another hit from mega family completing hat trick of hits this year joining Mega Power Star Ram Charan Teja’s ‘Racha’ and Power Star’s ‘Gabbar Singh’. ‘Julaayi’ music is tuned by Devi Sri Prasad.
However film critics and movie lovers are waiting with bated breath considering the track record of the film makers and doubt whether Julaayi turn out to be jolly ride for them or once again a roller coaster ride. The film’s hero Allu Arjun tasted ‘Badrinath’ disaster,. while Ileana disappeared from tollywood after ‘Shakti’ shock only to return later with Shankar’s ‘Snehitudu’ which once again proved to be a disaster. While presenter DVV.Danayya is also reeling under string of flops, film director Trivikram Srinivas is yet to come out of ‘Khaleja’ knock out. Film makers will surely be tensed up in this high profile high tension release. One has to wait for another 18 hours to know the result of Julaayi.
If they come out of their string of flops, then they can claim credit to the storyline or else they will be surely branded as iron leg team in tollywood film industry.

Govt’s Legal aid to Loot !?

Share
When AP Government headed by Congress decided to provide legal aid to six of their cabinet ministers who received Supreme Court notices on GO’s issued by them during YSR’s regime, many eye brows were raised about the legality of the whole issue. The Govt even tried to extend the legal aid to one of its BC Minister who was presently in Jail arrested on corruption charges but went back fearing backlash from opposition parties and public in general. Common man was aghast as to how hard earned money which they paid in the form of taxes for the overall development of the State could be used to support the misdeeds of ministers. This is for the first time in country and legal history where a state government has taken sides in support of its ministers even after highest court of the Country, Supreme Court found fault with.
Many feel it is legal aid to loot. While law enforcing authorities question common man on filmsy grounds and threatening to put them behind the bars, they turn blind eye on their higher authorities and political bosses even though they are found guilty. The argument of ministers that they were unaware of the GOs and trying to wash out that they were pressurised to sign the GOs finds no locus standi in court and people are laughing at their argument. They feel the ministers are trying to act too smart portraying being innocent while they are actually hand in glove in all these dark deeds.

Battle between ANR and NTR’s flop teams

Share
 
Generally any batlle for supremacy involves to top teams but in this surprising battle, two flop teams from top families of tollywood are involved. They are none other than Akkinenis and Nandamuris. If one goes by records there are not many high profile battles between top heroes from Akkinenis and Nandamuris. What ever battles used to be there it ended during ANR and NTR’s time itself. Balakrishna and Nagarjuna took care so that their films never clashed much at the box office. They even chose different lines with Balakrishna chosing mass masala entertainers while Nagarjuna chosing lover romantic entertainers.However all that changed with the entry of young brigade.
Nagarjuna’s son Naga Chaitanya started his entry with mass entertainer ‘Josh’ which flopped at the box office. However he came with a bang with romantic entertainers ‘Ye Maya Chesave’ and ‘100% Love’ but he showed his intentions to attack the mass fort of Nandamuris by getting a mass image. So he tried his luck with ‘Dada’ and ‘Bezawada’ which however bombed at box office. But he is not taking it lying down and is coming as ‘Auto Nagar Surya’ another mass entertainer. Another hero from Akkinenis Sumanth tried his luck with ‘Golkonda High School’, ‘Dooramga Daggaraga’ and ‘Raaz’ but he could not unlock the success ‘Raaz’. Similar is the case with Susanth who thought of passing success ‘Current’ but power cuts dashed his hopes. He is currently in his ‘Adda’.
While Akkinenis are trying to come out of their flop strings, Nandamuri heroes case is no different. Tarakaratna who made a sensational debut signing 9 films even before the release of his first film recently turned ‘Nandeeswarudu’ requsted his fans to call him ‘NTR’. The film however bombed at box office thus dashing his hopes of mass hero. Kalyan Ram after his superhit ‘Atanokkade’ failed to find his success ‘Kathi’. Currently he is in search of success script. It is difficult to predict winners in this battle of flops as both teams are competing with renewed vigor.

Unconcerned Mega Star !

Share
Lot has been written about Mega Star Chiranjeevi. Some feel number of articles written on him after he made his political entry may be more than what he would have enjoyed in his film career. While many of them were critical of his moves, Chiru has taken his own decisions and is going great unconcerned about the happenings of the state. When the state is reeling under acute power problem, rising prices and many other burning issues Chiru is marketing himself as the next prospective candidate for CM post. His supporters issued statements and some congress leaders also supported Chiru’s aspirations.
Some like Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal phoo phooed the news of Chiru as CM, common man is amazed at the mega marketing ways of Mega Star. After shifting his base to Delhi becoming RS MP, Chiru found able ally in Botsa Satyanarayana, APCC chief who started issuing statements on Chiranjeevi’s candidature. Though Mega Star might have mastered the art of marketing himself as the next CM of Andhra Pradesh, he should atleast learn to pretend that he is fighting for the cause of poor people which will earn respect from the poor. Mega Star may be the novice in these arts of hoodwinking people compared to other contenders for CM post, but a keen learner as he is, one can surely expect him to spring more surprises on them in future. Way to go Chiru!

Delay in funds making KCR fire?

Share
KCR is one person whom on one can dissect and find out his true motives. When he keeps quiet it can be termed as silent before thunder storm and when he opens his mouth he breaths fire which no one can stop.Till recently he had been keeping quite no matter how much his rivals provocated him. Even when received shock of his barely scraping in Parakal by election, he did not utter a word. However he recently opened his mouth and breathed fire on all especially on media for mocking his statements on ‘signals from centre on formation of Telangana. He spit venom questioning if he don’t receive signals then road side romeos receive or what. He once again became furious on seemandhra people and on T congress representatives, targeting Jana Reddy.
Many feel that KCR is given lump sum amounts of cash and other benefits and till he gets those things in time he will be keeping quite. The moment he notices little bit of delay in transfer of funds, KCR will go hammer and tongs on central govt and T congress representatives who are the mediators in the entire deal. Once The problem is solved KCR will become ‘Khush’ and Telangana moment will again be put on back burner. One wonder when telanagna people will see through is game plan of opening and closing the ‘T’ tap.
