Handsome Hunk in love with Hyderabadi Girl !?

Share
Daggubati Rana didn’t achieve much as an actor yet. He is still trying to learn the basics of acting and we have to see when he will really impress us as an actor. Although his acting and dancing has nothing to rave about, there is one thing that attracts the media about him. He tries to be close with his female costars and that keeps him in news.
Bollywood grapevine still believes that he is having an affair with Bipasha Basu. But Rana says she is just his friend and there is no place for romance between them. He was also linked to Trisha in the recent times. He laughed off those rumors and said that Trisha is his 3 AM friend. Okay, is there anyone in the film industry that he wants to be romantically involved with?
Rana says he is not seeing anyone from the industry because he has a girlfriend and she is a non-filmy girl from Hyderabad. Rana didn’t give any details about her other than this information. He said that marriage is not on the cards for him right now. Now it’s up to the paparazzi to find out that mysterious girl in Rana’s life.

Pawan’s Gabbarsingh fears with High Expectations

Share
Films having high expectations can rest assured of a grand opening, but most of the times they would turn dangerous for the film’s prospects at box office. A film with high expectations should meet those to survive at the box office. Or else it would be rejected right on day 1. Even average content won’t help the film to stay afloat!
NTR’s Dammu is a prime example for over hype turning into the biggest disadvantage for the movie. This film was overly hyped by the makers and they didn’t try to lower the expectations at all. Audiences and fans expected this film to be a great visual treat, but Dammu was average at best. Had this film released with a minimum expectations, the response would have been different.
Racha was released amidst nil expectations and turned out to be an average fare. Audiences were more than pleased with that and made the film a blockbuster. The next big release Gabbar Singh is riding on high expectations like Dammu. So the film should live up to the expectations to satisfy the viewers. Or else Gabbar too will have to suffer the consequences of over hype.

Hot Heroine takes break from Dammu disappointment

Share
Like expected, this petite beauty is looking like ‘sister’ to Jr.NTR in his latest film ‘Dammu’. Unable to face the severe criticism, she is heard taking a month break from all activities before she joins another Telugu film crew for a shoot.
Trisha is slowly losing her grip on Tollywood and her latest ‘Dammu’ is the perfect example. If you keep the casting debacle which made her an inappropriate pick beside NTR aside, Trisha’s role is also limited and just for songs. A hot beauty that has done meaty roles in terms of both performance and glamour has chosen a pretty ordinary role to add just another movie to her credit with this flick.
However, she revealed that she is taking a break for the whole month of May before she announces the details of her upcoming Telugu projects. Sources revealed that she has only Raviteja’s untitled movie in her hands, otherwise her stint with Tollywood is over. Anyways, let her forget all bad memories in May and see what she is offering for TFI next!

No Good Dances from Jr NTR in Dammu ?

Share
Jr. NTR is one of the best dancers that Telugu cinema has ever seen. After Chiranjeevi’s era, he was the first to make a lasting impression on audiences with razor speed dance moves. Later Allu Arjun arrived and proved to be an equally good dancer. NTR was once ranked as the best among the current generation heroes in the dancing department.
Allu Arjun has put in lot of efforts to beat him in dances and with Arya 2 and Badrinath, Arjun took the number one slot in the best dancers list. At the same time NTR stopped to thrill his fans with extra ordinary dance moves. After Adurs, NTR is not dancing like before. In Dammu, even his fans are being shocked to see NTR moving like a very ordinary dancer.
The speed and grace are completely missing. He is one of the heroes who can bring repeat audiences just for dances. But in Dammu, the dancer in NTR was missing. Is this because of poor choreography or lack of interest or due to the injury he suffered during that fatal accident? Whatever may be the reason, NTR fans are badly missing the great dancer. Let’s hope he bounces back very soon and takes over the top place yet again.
