Hello Guru Prema Kosame : Movie Review
Director Trinadha Rao Nakkina has been rehashing ‘mama-alludu’ theme in all of his movies. Cinema Chupistha Mama and Nenu Local turned out to be crowd pleasing entertainers. He has followed the same template with another twist for Hello Guru Prema Kosame.
Story
Sanju (Ram) teases his co-passenger Anupama (Anupama) in a train. But he comes to her house as a guest. Anupama’s father Viswanath (Prakash Raj) shares a good bond with Sanju. Meanwhile, Sanju falls in love with Anupama. When Anupama’s marriage is fixed with some otherguy, Sanju confesses his love to Viswanath and pleads him to give it a chance.
Performances:
Ram is very good as a casual youth. He has done similar roles before which made it a cakewalk for him. Anupama looks cute, but there is not much for her to do. Prakash Raj is aptly cast in a key role. He brings life to the character. Pranitha does a brief role as Ram’s crush. Rest of the star cast did well within their limitations.
Technicalities:
Director Trinadha Rao has a habit of picking simple storylines and lacing it with fun and enjoyable scenes. He repeats the same here and succeeds until a point. However, second half loses steam because of predictability and repetitive screenplay.
Prasanna Kumar does a fine job as a dialogue writer. There are some hilarious scenes in the first half. Music by Devi Sri Prasad is a disappointment. None of the songs are catchy. Even the background score is lackluster. Cinematography and editing are okay. Production values are very average.
Thumbs Up:
Ram
Comedy scenes
Thumbs Down:
Dull second half
Poor music
Routine script
Analysis:
Hello Guru Prema Kosame takes a while to get going. Initial scenes set in Kakinada aren’t impressive. However, the film turns enjoyable with Ram stepping into the software office. His first day at office followed by coffee shop scene is very funny. The best scene of the film comes right away where Ram and Praneetha go to each other’s houses. But the fun keeps waning as the story moves forward.
Intermission scene comes in a hurried fashion, but raises enough curiosity on the proceedings in second half. A conflict is established between Ram and Prakash Raj to keep the story moving. It seems alright at the beginning but soon gets tedious as the director keeps repeating same scenes over and over. Bad music worsens the prospects and the writer didn’t make an effort to write any comedy scenes.
HGPK loses steam after a passable first half and heavily banks upon the chemistry between Ram and Prakash Raj in the second half. Climax is very predictable and emotions didn’t work out as expected. The actors did their best to keep it alive but the lackluster script lets them down. On the whole, Hello Guru turns out to be an average film that offers some fun moments. Dil Raju should stop depending too much on formulaic films and look to offer novelty.
Verdict: Comedy Kosam!
Samantha’s Bold Comment On 96 Remake
Like we revealed it already, ace producer Dil Raju has acquired the rights of super hit Tamil film “96”, which has Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha in the lead roles. The film’s sad ending and realistic portrayal of matured love have clicked well with all.
Coming to the lead actors who would reprise those roles, actually there are rumours that Samantha and Nani are going to do that, but Dil Raju has earlier denied it. And now, rather confirming that she is not actually part of the film, queen bee Samantha has a special advice.
When quizzed about if she is doing that film’s Telugu version, Samantha said, “Shouldn’t be remade”. And that gives a direct advice to Dil Raju to not mess up with the original. Will he agree with Samantha on that?
Actually, remaking depends a lot on the director who is doing it. For example, Naga Chaitanya himself has done a remake of a cult classic like Premam and succeeded. So, Dil Raju should find right director while gossip mills already indicated that Harish Shankar is doing that.
Original U-Turn Beauty Gets Third Telugu Film
You might wonder about this, but the talented lady has so far done two Telugu films and one wonders when will they see light. Ever since Samantha’s Telugu ‘U-Turn’ released, many wondered what happened to original U Turn girl Shraddha Srinath. Here is an interesting update.
Apparently, Shraddha Srinath became a sensation after U-Turn became superhit at Kannada box office. And she was immediately approached by many Telugu makers. She has signed Saikumar’s son Aadi’s film being directed by a newcomer and then she’s part of Kshanam director Ravikanth’s next venture. Both are rolling from a year, but nothing about them is coming out.
But it looks like luck is on Shraddha’s side, as she got her third film now, maybe the first releasing film too, as none other than Nani took her aboard. She will be playing the lead role in Nani’s upcoming film “Jersey”, which is being directed by “Malli Rava” fame Gowtham Tinnanuri.
Cinema lovers are feeling that her energy and enthusiastic acting give a perfect combination to Nani, and hope their chemistry will entice audiences.
Inside Report : Pawan’s Response After Kavathu
After Kavathu, Janasena and Pawan Kalyan are said to be on cloud nine. Team Pawan is said to be elated with the huge response for Kavathu, a marathon rally, he had conducted at Dhawaleswaram of East Godavari district on 15th Oct. As per Janasena’s estimation, over 1 million (10 lakh) people have attended Kavathu which is considered as a huge number given that all have come ‘voluntarily’ without being lured with liquor or biryani.
Pawan and Janasena are on high with the success of Kavathu and is of the opinion that Janasena would bag at least 20 MLA seats in the coming elections. They say many more strong leaders from various political parties are looking towards Janasena and they may join the party shortly in the presence of Pawan. Party’s senior leaders are estimating that this may even increase their tally of winning seats in the coming general elections and this would help them to emerge as the ‘King Maker’ and perhaps could even become ‘King’ like Kumaraswamy in Karnataka.
Pawan’s desperation to become ‘CM’ is clearly visible at Kavathu as well as he himself as asked fans to chant – ‘CM’, ‘CM’, ‘CM’. Looks like, PK too fallen in this trap of ‘power’. Let’s see what’s in store for Janasena.
Hat-trick Flops Effect: Hero’s Remuneration Takes A Massive Hit
Hero Nithiin has been going through a dull phase in his career. He has delivered a hat-trick of flops with his last three movies – LIE, Chal Mohan Ranga and Srinivasa Kalyanam. He is determined to bounce back to form with Chalo director Venky Kudumula’s soon to be launched Bhishma.
In what could be called an adverse effect of these hat-trick flops, Nithiin’s remuneration is said to have taken a massive hit. Apparently his paycheck has been cut down to half of what he has charged for his last couple of films.
Nithiin took 6 crores as his remuneration for LIE, which ended up as one of the biggest disasters in his career. Later, Dil Raju reduced one crore of Nithiin’s remuneration for LIE and paid him 5 crores for Srinivasa Kalyanam.
And here’s an exclusive update. Apparently, Nithiin demanded 5 crores as his remuneration for Bhishma. However, the makers at Sithara Entertainments, the banner that’s bankrolling Bhishma, are not willing to pay 5 crores to Nithiin. They are ready to offer him 3 crores, which is exactly half of his salary for LIE. Discussions are still going on.
Telangana: Allies can’t wait for Delhi approval!
Frustration is increasing in the alliance partners of the Maha Kootami in Telangana, with the “big brother” Telangana Congress party continuing to delay the issue of seat sharing for the ensuing assembly elections.
While the Telangana Telugu Desam Party is still waiting patiently for the conclusion of seat-sharing, the other two alliance partners – Telangana Jana Samithi and the Communist Party of India – have been giving vent to their frustration rather openly, expressing their discontent over the delaying tactics of the Congress party.
TJS president Prof M Kodandaram, who set a 48-hour deadline for the announcement of seats last week, extended it up to Dasara.He said his party would take up electioneering after the festival. He reportedly submitted a list of 20 names to the Congress party for contesting the next elections.
On the other hand, the CPI leaders are expressing anger over the unilateral campaigning by the Congress leaders in the Communist strongholds in Nalgonda and Khammam. They threatened to go it alone, if the Congress does not finalise the seats in the next two or three days.But what the TJS and CPI have failed to understand is that the number of seats to be shared with the allies is not in the hands of the Telangana Congress leaders, but in the party high command in Delhi.
Unless the party bosses finalise the Congress list, they cannot disclose how many seats the party can spare for the allies.And it is not going to be easy, as there are more than half a dozen aspirants for each seat in the Congress party.
The screening committee will take its own sweet time to decide the right candidates, depending on their money and muscle power, besides of course the winnability.Going by AICC general secretary in-charge of Telangana R C Khuntia, who had a meeting with the high command on Wednesday, the seat sharing would take at least two more weeks.
He said the talks were still going on with the allies and once the high command gives the nod, the announcement would be made by this month end.So, Kodandaram, the CPI and the TDP have to wait for two more weeks to get clarity. Do they have so much patience?

People are taking the snapshots from the first teaser of “Saaho” in which it was announced that the film would be released in 2018.Forget about releasing the movie, can you tell us when would you release new stills or teaser, they are demanding the answer from UV Creations. The handle is flooded with tweets from fans on Twitter.
Although it is confirmed that UV Creations is going to release a video of “Saaho”, the production house has not made any official statement so far. Only media is reporting.
So, the fans have started trolling Prabhas.
TRS Ready To Take Andhra Leader’s Help!
Strange as it might sound, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi, which has been making a scathing attack on the Congress party for joining hands with an Andhra party like the Telugu Desam Party to contest the ensuing assembly elections in the state, is ready to accept the support from an Andhra leader.
This was evident from the thanksgiving message sent by TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao’s son and state IT minister K T Rama Rao to Jana Sena Party president and actor Pawan Kalyan.
On Tuesday, KTR called up Pawan Kalyan and congratulated him for successfully conducting Jana Sena Kavaathu on Dowleshwaram bridge across Godavari river on Monday evening.
While this is the official leak from the TRS, sources said KTR had actually thanked Pawan for deciding to extend support to the TRS in the coming assembly elections in Telangana.
Pawan told the party leaders that Jana Sena would support the TRS, as he was impressed with KCR’s welfare and developmental schemes.
Naturally, it has led to the criticism as to why the TRS is accepting the support of Jana Sena.
After all, the Jana Sena, too, like the TDP, has been aiming for power in Andhra. So, whatever allegations the TRS has been hurling at the TDP will also apply to the Jana Sena.
What would the TRS leaders say if Pawan opposes the Telangana projects after it comes to power in Andhra Pradesh on the pretext that they would affect the interest of Andhra farmers?
Will the TRS ask for an undertaking from Pawan Kalyan stating that he would not oppose any Telangana project and remain silent when the Telangana government fights a legal battle to stop Polavaram project?
On many occasions in the past, Pawan Kalyan expressed anguish over the bifurcation of the combined state.
He even went on record saying he had not taken food for 11 days when the state was divided to form Telangana. There were several instances of Pawan Kalyan making a scathing attack on the TRS in the past for raising anti-Andhra slogans.
So, Jana Sena has nothing to lose by supporting the TRS, but it has certainly given a strong weapon to the Maha Kootami to attack the TRS in the upcoming elections!

Gaddar Ready To Contest Against KCR
Hyderabad: Former Maoist ideologue and revolutionary balladeer Gaddar on Wednesday said he was ready to contest the elections against Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao as the joint candidate of opposition parties.
Gaddar, who met Congress president Rahul Gandhi last week, said if all opposition parties make a request to him to contest from Gajwel and ensure that the opposition votes are not divided, he will contest the December 11 election.Rao, who is also President of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), is seeking re-election from Gajwel in the coming elections to Telangana assembly. Gaddar described Gajwel as his birthplace.
Gaddar said he did not belong to any party but would support any party to end what he calls ‘neo-feudalism’ in Telangana. Stating that Telangana state was created with the sacrifices of martyrs, he said the change has not come in the state.
Gaddar, whose real name is Gummadi Vittal Rao, told reporters at Kamareddy that after 70 years he has enrolled himself as a voter and had now launched people’s movement to end ‘neo-feudalism’.”My fight is to end autocratic rule and realise the dreams of the martyrs of Telangana,” said Gaddar, who plans to campaign against TRS by singing “people’s songs”.
He appealed to people to make Rahul Gandhi’s public meeting at Kamareddy on October 20 a huge success.
Gaddar’s son G.V. Surya Kiran had joined Congress in April this year. He is said to be keen to contest the Assembly elections.
Sudheer Babu Didn’t Dub As He Was Denied Special Credit?
One thing that amused everyone about Veera Bhoga Vasantha Rayalu trailer is Sudheer Babu’s voice. Someone else dubbed for Sudheer in the trailer that was later confirmed by the actor himself.“For various reasons, which can’t be explained in a tweet, wasn’t been able to dub for my character in #VeeraBhogaVasanthaRayalu. Yeah, THAT IS NOT MY VOICE (sic),” he tweeted.
What are those various reasons that a popular actor like him pulled off from not dubbing for his role?Sudheer has reportedly asked the producers to put his name first in the credits before all other actors to which they had reportedly denied.According to the script, Sri Vishnu played the lead role and Nara Rohith-Sudheer did the supporting roles.
But Sudheer being the most successful and in-form actor among all doesn’t want to be sidelined and demanded to be given due importance.Producers felt that it would belittle the ‘hero’ if they do so and didn’t honor Sudheer’s request.
Sudheer who got hurt by this decided not to dub for his role and the producers had no other option but to go for a voiceover artist.
