Ministers waiting for Jagan’s Signal

Share

Ruling Congress seems to have been under the impression that once Jagan is sent to Jail and by elections ended they can sleep in peace. Now with YSRCP voting in favor of Pranab Mukherjee in presidential elections after Vijayamma met PM Manmohan Singh, Congress leadership at the State felt that some sorts of understanding might have been reached and Jagan will be keeping quite with its bosses asking CBI to dilute cases against him ensuring his release in due course of time.
However it seems there are shockers in store for the state leaders who are very much engaged in fighting with each other for the CM post and tarnishing late CM YSR’s image. Buzz is YSR Chief Jagan is not sitting alone in jail and sleeping peacefully. He is working overtly and covertly and is in touch with more than 12 ministers in state cabinet who will jump to his party the moment he gives green signal. These are the same ministers who were in YSR cabinet and were hand in hand with all the decisions of the earlier govt.
Many may be doing lip service in criticizing late CM YSR and his schemes. They are just waiting for the right opportunity to strike back along with Jagan. With Congress at center keen to keep its no of MP seats intact than number of MLA seats, Kiran Kumar’s CM seat and that of YSR detractors are their permanent posts. Hope they realize this hard fact and KVP’s remarks have more meanings that are hidden at present.

Can small film makers bring change?

Share

TFI is always in the grips of big four or five influential families or people and entire industry is reeling in its grip unable to come out of their iron like clutches. However small film makers created a sensation in recent film chamber elections winning over the influential members. Since for the first time, elections were held under electronic voting system and none can find out who voted for which group, all the film makers who suffered at the hands of these influential people voted unitedly for Tammareddy Bharadwaj panel during the Film Chamber elections. Those who kept film producers and film makers under their grip and tampered film production experienced shock of their life.
For years these influential few have been increasing rents of theaters as per their whims and fancies and even allotted those theaters to people who support them and exacting revenge on others who opposed them. They might have done all this but couldn’t make people vote for them threatening or keeping them in house arrest. Tammareddy Bharadwaj’s panel’s victory brings in democracy to the functioning of the panel. However the victory of the panel did not come so easily. The opponents tried all means to defeat them.They tried to introduce new panel naming it as active panel and this hurt the feelings of many small film makers. Now a days film makers have become cashiers and for that matter even Suresh Movies banner stopped making films.
This time Daggubati Suresh Panel have taken this elections prestigiously and gave parties to even members though they don’t have any votes. Even on polling day they tried to make Ashok Kumar,(Suresh’s close relative) as President as he luckily won the elections. However Tammareddy Panel opposed their moves and Suresh panel reluctantly agreed Bharadwaj as the president. Any film nagar sources say small film makers are dead against D.Suresh ‘s high handed ways and the same reflected in election results. However just winning elections will not solve the problems of small film makers. They should bring change in the system and take all parties along with them.

When will JP show his ‘Satta’?

Share

Jai Prakash Narayana or sweetly and more popularly known as ‘JP’ by his supporters enjoyed immense following from educated lot when he quit his plum and power centric IAS post to start his own NGO titled ‘Lok Satta’ and started enlightening people on various issues. When he translated his party many vowed their full support during elections. However that didnot turn to votes and except for himself none of his candidates even get deposits. Even when he single handedly entered Assembly riding on the support of the educated lot, he was accused of taking money from then CM YS.Rajasekhar Reddy.
His speeches in the assembly were informative and except during the Telangana moment when he faced the wrath of TRS MLA’s with some slapping him in front of the Assembly lobby and PM inviting him for discussions on the issue, he was never in the limelight. One wonder when will JP show his strength or he made a wrong move turning his organization into a political party. 
Many feel bringing awareness is one thing and fighting for the peoples cause is another and winning election as independent or contesting on some other party’s ticket is another thing. When one tries to launch a party and bring it to power all caste, creed, sex, religious politics and various equations come into picture and people don’t bother about honesty and corruption but give importance to what they get . How JP tackles this issue has to be watched on AP political screen.

Heroes tampering with scripts !

Share

When movie lovers happen to watch telugu films many feel that there is nothing new in the script or story line. A layman can predict what will happen next and just like a saying used to be there about serials, that even after watching it after few days back, one can predict the storyline, similar can be applied to films. None of the film scripts inspire any confidence in movie lovers.. One wonder whether heroes really hear the scripts or blindly sign projects going by the reputation of directors and film makers. Sometime back during Dammu audio release NTR said he rejected 9 scripts before finalizing the tenth one from Boyapati Srinu. But many commented what made him agree to that script too as the story was predictable and has noting innovative in it.
Many feel that heroes don’t watch other heroes films and just ask directors and film makers to ready a script on similar lines of a super hit flick from bollywood, kollywood or hollywood. Sometimes they implore him to prepare script similar to tollywood number one grossers. That was the reason why there won’t be any creativity or inattentiveness in 99% of tollywood films. While many innovative and creative films come from other regions, our movie lovers are left with singing praises of them as they can’t expect anything from them. Standard answers of all those present in the industry is if they think of making a creative or award winning film, viewers will not encourage them. Unless until heroes stop tampering with scripts and encourage novelty just like their counterparts in kollywood or bollywood, monotonous mass masala entertainers are common in tollywood.

Cheap dialogues passing in name of comedy

Share

Who can forget the good olden days of tollywood when people of all age groups, movie lovers including all family members used to enjoy films comedy scenes without any inhibitions. No one can forget comedy tracks filmed on Relangi and Ramana Reddy, Relangi and Rama Prabha or Geetanjali. However over the period of time, tollywood underwent lot of changes in film making. For the past two decades healthy comedy tracks in tollywood films started deteriorating gradually and in it reached a level now where brother and sister or daughter and parents can’t watch a film together.
Film makers started passing off cheap dialogues and scenes, in the name of comedy giving statements that viewers are enjoying. After happening to watch genex films and the comedy tracks included in them,one tend to wonder as to what message film makers want to send to the movie lovers and society in general. One even wonder whether film makers watch genex films with their family members and what would be their comfort levels in watching double meaning dialogues in the name of comedy.
Over the past decade a new trend came in films where a comedy track making fun of lecturers, having drinks with them. Now comedy tracks having drinks have become integral part of films. Many question why can’t film makers think of making healthy and hilarious scenes, without including double meaning dialogues and drinking scenes.Film makers should make an introspection on these two fronts and bring back golden era in the industry..

Communists losing people’s confidence

Share
Communists in Andhra Pradesh seems to be losing the confidence of people. From the time of its inception they couldn’t make their presence felt in the state. To get support they started supporting the violent ways of maoists who used to kill innocent villagers in the name of police informers. They never used to leave even former maoists who had change of heart. Forgetting the fact that even a police constable come from poor family they used to detonate bombs, killing many attracting wrath of many. 
To gain power both CPI and CPM used to collectively take decisions and unitedly allign with either Congress of TDP according to the political situation. Even then they couldn’t increase their support base. The reasons could be in the name of helping poor these parties used to occupy lands owned by middle class people and hand it over to the poor, thus alienating them completely. Many times they voiced their opinion against majority hindus in support of religious conversions hurting their feelings. Even when YSR’s popularity was on high, just to gain some political mileage aligned with TDP, thus making even poorest of the poor move away from them. 
Its leaders like Narayana and Raghavulu seems to be fighting for personal benefits rather than win over the confidence of people. Many feel communists are hard to mend their ways and even after another two decades they will be following their principles blindly without realising the fact that Communist Govt’s in China and Russia rapidly changed their strategies and policies to move ahead beating other countries in the world.

Why Telangana believes KCR ?

Share
One may like it or not but according to political analysts and people of telangana, TRS chief KCR is the chief architect of telangana movement. Many believe that he was the one who revived the dead separate state of Telangana movement. Many wonder why people of Telangana believe him and take his word as commandments and go to any extent to even give their lives. TRS Chief has been always in news and became popular for his vitrolic statements against people of other regions and forcing by elections making representatives of his party’s along with other parties to resign and increase his party’s tally in house of representatives. 
Many times he predicted a statement with in 3-9 months time only to be proven wrong. Still people rally behind him surprising his rivals and political analysts. But a close look at the parties present in telangana highlights the dilemma of people of telangana. All other parties present in the region have presence in other regions of the state of Andhra Pradesh and so they have to take care of the interests of those people also. This is not the case with TRS which is only for telangana and present in that region only. 
So KCR and his party can go hammer and tongs with his provocative statements caring nothing for other regions. This is the strength of KCR and TRS and people side with them as KCR don’t have any other place to go and if he cheats them, people believe that they can take care of him as happened during his fast unto death.

A press conference scene from the trailer that came out last week showed actress Kareena Kapoor rebuking journalists.

Residents of Dubai are fuming at the dialogue of Bollywood actresses who visit Dubai end up as call girls with price tags was sickening. “Dubai stands for progress and development and has made a huge imprint on the world map.

TFI taking ‘Divine Love’ for a ride !

Share
In the entire Universe ‘Love’ is the only word which can’t be defined in a perfect manner. No two persons can give similar definition to ‘Love’. For people who never experienced love it is a trash while for those who experienced it is precious. What ever it may be irrespective of people experiencing or not none are able to define the unique feeling of ‘Love’. That itself shows the divinity of Love. However present generation film makers are taking ‘Divine Love’ for a ride forgetting the fact that the same has been glorified by their predecessors in numerous times.
Present films teach and preach people to love what ever it may be, irrespective of age difference and it some one doesn’t fall in love they can be brandished. They show to express love one can do ‘n’ number of intolerable feats wasting their valuable time, money and sometimes losing their lives after experiencing heart breaks or taking lives of those who refused their love. Films glorify the acts of ‘acid attacks’, ‘threatening girls or their family members so that in the very next scene heroine start reciprocating Hero’s love which is not the case in real life.
Tollywood earlier witnessed evergreen love stories in ‘Devdas’, ‘Premabishekam’, ‘Premnagar’, ‘Maro Charitra’ in which ‘Love’ is glorified and shown as true love seeks happiness of the loved ones even when they reject their love and not their lives as depicted in genex love stories. Hope film makers realize the importance to ‘Love’ and don’t misguide teenagers and youth with their misrepresentation of facts.
