Mass Raja losing his Magic

Share

Mass Raja Ravi Teja became the darling of masses with his energetic performances fully loaded with spontaneous mass dialogues, unique mannerisms and breathtaking dances. This got him immense popularity and masses crowned him as Mass Maharaja. However movie lovers and film critics wonder whether Mass Raja is losing his magic. They cite the examples of Veera,Nippu, Daruvu along with special roles in Dongala Mutha and KSD Appalaraju. Even his die hard fans can’t deny that after Mirapakaya he did not have decent hit. His fans wonder what happened to their hero who once won bitter battles with Natasimha Balakrishna.
However most recently many noticed fear in Mass Raja clearly cast on his face. He postponed his recent films Nippu, Daruvu many times and even Devudu Chesina Manushulu which is never heard of in the industry. Movie lovers feel that his last three films bombed at the box office due to his monotonous and routine mannerisms. Even many feel age is catching him up which is visible with the wrinkles on his face. This is also turning out to be his minus as many hot heroines are shying away from singing films with him though he has loads of energy.
Unless until he finds out new ways and re package himself his mass magic will fast wane out. Raviteja hopes that Puri Jagannath’s directed Devudu Chesina Manushulu will recreate the magic of ‘Idiot’ bringing back golden days to him.

How Nandamuri-Akkineni rivalry started ?

Share

Rivalry between Nandamuri and Akkineni family is not new and it has long standing history. It all started after the release of ‘Sri Krishnarjuna Yuddham’ in which NTR played the role of Krishna which is child’s play for him, while ANR played the role of Arjuna. The film became a super hit with superb songs, poems and terrific action from the icons of tollywood. However movie lovers started comparing action of the two stars and after dissecting their performances felt that ANR won’t even come to the stature of NTR’s feet though he shakes his body, while NTR just sends many messages just by moment of his eyes. Many movie critics also felt the same. This came as a shock for ANR who is the senior most hero than NTR.
This hurt many ANR fans and even ANR himself who went on public saying he won’t be doing any films in future with NTR. However they buried their hatchet and later ANR and NTR starred in many more superhit films, with NTR himself going to him and requesting that he suits for the role of Chanakya, when he presented ‘Chanakya Chandragupta’. Later they passed the mantle to Nagarjuna and Balakrishna. However both these stars from the beginning avoid clash of their films in any manner. While Natasimha Balakrina became the hero of masses with his powerful dialogues, Manmadhuru Nagarjuna became lover boy in the heart of females with his romantic films.
However all this may change soon with the entry of Akkineni Akhil and Nandamuri Mokshagna. Though families deny their entry, they are planning for a perfect launch for young faces of iconic families. While Akhil is seen in many functions and CCL as his first love is CCL, Mokshagna is relatively new and no one knows much about him. Akhil is already tollywood’s ‘Sisindri’. It has to be seen how this genex battle unfolds.

Cats are better than T-Cong MPs-Toothless Tigers ?

Share

When one watches the noises and daring statements of T-congress MPs and MLAs in front of media, one gets the impression that all hell is going to break loose and tsunami is going to happen any moment with deadly force. Their lions Keshav Rao, Madhu Yashki, Ponnam Prabhakar, Gutta Sukhender and others show their full strength in full public gaze.

However people have seen their antics in front of channels and media for many times and they seem to forget that they can not fool people according to their whims and fancies. They make huge noises but in the closed door discussions with their high command leaders, they piss in their pants searching for words. Telangana people suspect that they are offered monetary benefits or threatened with cases. Everyone is aware that cases are hanging like damsel swords round the necks of Madhu Yashki, Keshav Rao and many others. The moment high command threatens they turn worse than cats. People are now seen commenting that these T-Cong MPs are toothless tigers who piss in their pants the moment they see Sonia. Many say they are worse than cats.
One knows what happened during the current session of Parliament. Sonia gave a strong warning in full media gaze but these MPs twist facts and say seemandhra MPs are planting wrong stories. Even they know that they failed miserably and people don’t believe them. However they try to take people for a ride showing seemandhra people as ghosts. If they think that they can save their power by portraying fellow people as traitors and robbers for some time these tricks may work out but after some time people see through their sinister designs and teach a fitting lesson.

Cabinet turns against CM ?

Share

Normally any Chief Minister will have a cabinet of ministers with whom he will be ruling the state collectively for the benefit and development of people who elected them. However the Congress Govt in AP is completely different. Post YSR, with congress high command controlling from Delhi, appointing CM on its own, the cabinet ministers stopped paying respect to Chief Ministers. They started following their own agenda as CM failed win their faith and command respect. They isolated current CM Kiran Kumar Reddy and started creating troubles issuing statements in diversion with govt policies bringing headache to CM and stalling the functioning of the Govt machinery.
Ministers complain against each other, work against each other, stopped believing each other and are interested in just enjoying the benefits of power for their personal ends without working for the development of people who elected them. They try to take law in their own hands creating inconvenience to the people. This is for the first time in the history of Andhra Pradesh that people are witnessing Chief Minister and Cabinet of Minsiters in complete disarray.
What all these power hungry politicians fail to realise is people are noticing all their cunning acts and though they are helpless, they are waiting for the right moment go give a sound slap and teach them a befitting lesson. They are alreay seen questioning why parties and ministers not learning lessons from the results of recently held by polls.
One can not make noises in front of deaf and blind politicians. They are blinded by money and deafened by greed for power.

However age is now fast catching them up and this is landing them in troubles. Now these top heroes are finding it difficult to get young, beautiful and hot heroines for their upcoming projects. King Nagarjuna who is still regarded as tollywood Manmadhudu and king is not facing that problem much as he is still maintaining that charm and looks surprising movie lovers and stunning all other young heroes by competing with them with renewed energy and youthful exuberance.
Victory Venkatesh many not have faced heroines problem till now except in’Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’. This was also due to the presence of Prince Mahesh Babu. But he can’t be sure of that in future because trouble is lurking for him. Natasimha Balakrishna is facing that problem to huge extent. During his prestigious project ‘Paramaveera Chakra’ though he scouted for many top heroines, since he couldn’t find anyone, he had to adjust with spent forces like Ameesha Patel and Neha Dhupia. In Adhinayakudu he had to adjust with Lakshmi Rai. However for ‘Srimannarayana’ he got sexy beauties Parvathi Melton and Isha Chawla. They readily agreed to romance Balayya as they are looking for foothold in the industry. While Isha did two hit films opposite young heroes and looking for offers from top heroes, Parvathi Melton is looking for lead roles.
Another top hero who is facing heroine problem is Mass Raja Ravi Teja.Though younger to other stars, he is facing the problem as age is showing on his face. Though he has bundles of energy, this is proving to be his draw back. It has to be seen how these heores will be successful in their hunt for hot beauties.

Media turns political battle field

Share
Media and forth estate used to be the strong pillars of democracy and in the olden days people used to have full faith on print and electronic media that when everything fails to do justice, media provides justice turning to be the death knell of all wrong doers in the society. That was the reason why many freedom fighters started their own publications to fire desire for freedom in citizens of the country. However things changed and genex media doesn’t come anywhere near it and in fact totally pales in its comparison.
All top media barons take sides of one political party or the other and fight for the cause of the party rather than for the cause of poor people, development or getting justice. They even twist the facts for their own ends and many have even ceased to fight for justice and true cause. Top media channels and print media like Eenaadu Sakshi, T-News, Andhrajyothi to name a few take sides accordingly rather than go by the facts and truths in a particular problem. Even political parties have realised that media is the best place to wage their petty political battles.
With no one to question with citizens and people in the society more bothered about personal gains than the country, media barons and politicians and political parties are conniving with each other to make huge profits at the expense of common people.

Sadists of Silver screen

Share

It seems tollywood film industry is getting filled with sadists. Young heroes are showcasing their sadistic nature in the name of creativity on silver screen to torture movie lovers and scare away even those who are coming to watch films in theaters. Recently Rocking Star Manchu Manoj in his ‘Ukodatara Ulikipadatara’ to drive away tenants of Gandharva Mahal who were taking Prabhu for a ride, gave a build up that he was a merciless killer. In the intro song he was shown as a person who would play with skulls of people he murdered to satisfy his lover. At the end he was shown to comb the hair of heroine after chopping off her head as she refused the hero to combo her hair!.

Now according to latest information Gopichand is also enacting the same scenes. This time the sufferer is tempting beauty Tapsee. Latest inputs reveal that Gopi will be playing dangerous Buzkashi,traditonal Afghan sport. The sport requires players to hit past the goat put in a gunny bag over the goal post to become winner. Now our Nizam King is replacing the goat with Tapsee. If narration of the scene itself is sending shivers down the spines, imagine the situation of Tapsee. Film makers think that they are turning more and more creative and innovative in film making. However they are not realising that Gopichand and Manoj are turning sadists on silver screen.

Strains of Udaya Bhanu

Share

Udaya Bhanu- the name itself sounds sweet for small screen lovers who can not afford to go and watch films on silver screen or big screen or multiplexes. She is the Tamanna or Samantha off small screen and what’s more, she offers uninterrupted and unending entertainment to all free of cost unlike star heroines for whom one should shell out hard earned money. This tall and tempting beauty sizzled some time back in ‘Leader’ which marked the debut of Rana. Later though many offers started pouring in she chose to be with the silver screen rather than graduate to silver screen. Many say she is waiting for the big break opposite top heroes than debutantes or small heroes.
She has been anchoring and presenting many audio functions, live shows and programs which included top tollywood personalities and this fetched her a role in ‘Julaayi’ title song. She sizzled in for less than a minute much to the delight of her fans. However this left many wondering what kind of roles she is aspiring for in tollywood. Is it special or item songs opposite top heroes or a footing in the industry as a heroine. So feel had she signed some low budget films she could have easily become a star by this time. Some wonder her three hours of strains in various tollywood function is fetching her only 30 second stints in item songs opposite top heroes. Many feel all her beauty and talent is getting wasted in this manner. Hope Uday Bhanu is listening.
