Shocking Survey in AP: 7 MPs for BJP, 3 For Congress
Even as the general elections for Lok Sabha has ample time, Opinion Polls and Surveys are already in place. In latest, the Times Now Opinion Poll is out and it predicted that BJP would win 227 seats and Congress would limit at 78 seats out of overall 545 seats. It projected that others would win in 238 seats indicating that it wouldn’t be easy for BJP who marched to victory on its own in 2014.
But what’s shocking in the results of the Opinion Poll is the projection for the Andhra Pradesh. The Opinion Poll for the successor state of Andhra Pradesh projected that BJP would win 7 Lok Sabha seats and Congress would win 3 Lok Sabha seats in AP. While Congress is routed in AP and doesn’t even have strong candidates to contest for Lok Sabha, the situation of BJP too is no different.
The blunders of both the national political parties are expected to cost them hugely in the upcoming general elections in AP. The regional parties TDP and YSRCP are having strong hold and expected to have neck-and-neck in the forthcoming general elections – be it for Assembly or for Lok Sabha.
Quite contrary to it, the opinion poll suggested that both TDP and YCP together would settle at 15 seats out of total 25 seats. These results are now raising many eyeballs. Congress has zero Lok Sabha seats in AP and zero representation in Assembly. After denying the Special Category Status to the state and not keeping the bifurcation promises, BJP too expected to face the fate of the Congress in AP.
Meanwhile, the Times Now Opinion Poll also projected 2 Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu which again is quite shocking as the Lotus Party hardly has any strength in the state. Considering all these, many are raising doubts over the survey aired by the popular channel.

Rajamouli’s Son Leads #RRR
Rajamouli’s son Karthikeya has been assisting his father in his production and direction departments since Magadheera. He was the Second Unit Director for the Bahubali franchise. During Baahubali 2’s audio launch, Rajamouli openly praised Karthikeya and hailed him an all-rounder.

Geetha Govindam : Movie Review
Vijay Deverakonda’s latest film Geetha Govindam is loaded with fun elements that will cater to families and youth alike. Parasuram makes a clean movie that has a wafer thin story but loads of entertainment. This film is sure to take the box office by storm.
Story :
Vijay Govind (Vijay) is a good guy with noble intentions. He falls in love with Geetha (Rashmika) at first sight. He meets her again in a bus journey where things go out of place and he loses impression with Geetha. Despite that they are forced to stay close because of a strong reason. How Geetha comes to know about Vijay’s real self forms rest of the story.
Performances:
Vijay Deverakonda is a talented actor who keeps it simple without overdoing anything. His casual approach to his role makes Govind an adorable character. He is a typical boy next door who doesn’t flex muscles and break into fights. He is superbly supported by Rashmika. They both have the maximum screen time and the terrific chemistry between them doesn’t bore the viewers at any point. Rashmika is a fantastic actress and the right fit for Geetha. Subba Raju is okay in a supporting role. Rahul Ramakrishna shines with his style of humor. Vennela Kishore has a limited but hilarious role to play. Nithya Menen’s cameo is interesting and Anu Emmanuel appears in a scene.
Technicalities:
Parasuram’s script is very simple. It is a single line story with a strong conflict. He narrates the film in fun manner right from the beginning. He keeps it engaging all the time in spite of a thin story line. There is a lot of entertainment and a bit of emotion towards the end, which proves his capabilities as director. He shows his mark with the well written dialogues.
Gopi Sunder’s music is an asset. A good soundtrack is a must for a love story and Gopi provides one that will bring in repeat audience. Cinematography is neat and editing is adequate. The film has good production values too.

Thumbs Down:
Drags a bit towards the end
Some cliches
Analysis:
Geetha Govindam is a no brainer romantic comedy that only focuses on offering entertainment from the word go. Govindam is a very good guy with morals and dreams of having a great life partner. He comes across Geetha who seem to be the right one, but she misunderstands him due to an unfortunate incident. Whole film revolves around this point but thanks to some sparkling chemistry between Vijay and Rashmika it never gets boring.
First half of the film is thoroughly entertaining with wonderful songs. It reaches the intermission point with a mini outburst from the frustrated lead character. Second half shifts to the same scenario of heroine dominating the hero and him pleading her. There are many repetitive scenes but it never gets tedious because of fine writing and an adorable lead pair. The scene where heroine realizes the nobleness of hero is also done pretty well.
However, things get dragged after this point as the conflict is resolved. Many cliches happen and when things are slipping out of hands enter Vennela Kishore’s character that offers fun in between. We can excuse a bit of drama and cliched final part as Geetha Govindam has lot of fun and entertainment until that point.
It is one of the most fun films to come out in recent times. It is a clean romantic comedy that can be enjoyed with whole family. Vijay and Rashmika together steal the show in Geetha Govindam that is ably handled by Parasuram. Mellifluous soundtrack by Gopi Sunder is an icing on the cake. Go watch it.
Verdict: Lovable Govindam!
Don’t Ask Me About My Brother: Vijay
Vijay Deverakonda will also have competition from his home, reports suggested recently. It was said that his younger brother is going to be introduced as hero none other than by leading producer D Suresh Babu.According to the buzz, Vijay Deverakonda’s brother Anand Deverakonda will be doing a film titled “Dorasani”, a film set in rural Telangana some years ago. This period film is said to be introducing Rajasekhar’s younger daughter Shivatmika as well.
However, Vijay D refuses to talk about his brother’s debut. When asked, he said he doesn’t want to talk about it.My brother will respond about his career choices, not me, he cut the discussion abruptly during media interaction.
Vijay says he will soon be launching his own production company. I have many plans, he stressed. The handsome hunk has huge line-up of films as well.
Is Dil Raju is losing his judgmental skills?
Dil Raju vehemently denied his involvement in the creative work of his films in his recent interactions with the media. But the industry insiders strongly believe that Dil Raju is the one who calls the shots for most of his films. Despite Dil Raju’s denial, there is a strong rumor about Dil Raju ghost-directing his recent film Srinivasa Kalyanam.
Rumors aside, Dil Raju is losing his story judgmental skills thick and fast. He is unable to pick a good script in a longtime. Barring Fidaa which was a brand Sekhar Kammula film, none of Dil Raju’s recent films had a strong script. External factors like timing the releases perfectly had worked in his favor. Mediocre films like Raja The Great and MCA becoming hits made him overconfident which is why he continued to bet on weak scripts.
Things always don’t work in one’s favor without taking good care of script and other essential elements. Both Lover and Srinivasa Kalyanam backfired putting an end to Dil Raju’s success streak. Dil Raju may not have taken part in the production of Lover besides okaying the script, but Srinivasa Kalyanam bears his mark all over. It is high time for him to start bankrolling innovative ideas like Arya and Bommarillu than playing safe with outdated formulaic films.

Is Pawan Day Dreaming About Becoming CM?
Pawan Kalyan’s public speech at Nidadavolu / Tadepalligudem has many interesting things to take out. Of all, Pawan for the first time has openly expressed his long-standing wish to become the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. And he publicly asked the people that whom they want to be their next Chief Minister? Is it him? Or Is it Chandrababu Naidu? Or Is It Jagan?
Pawan, who had been claiming to averse towards any posts till 2014, has suddenly changed his stand and seems to have become power hungry in 2017. With very little political experience and less practical knowledge, Pawan wants to take on with seasoned politician like Chandrababu Naidu and a dashing politician like Jagan at once. While there is nothing wrong in aspiring to become Chief Minister of a state, the moot question is whether Pawan is eligible or not and whether he has the capability or not.
So far, neither there is any clue nor there is any clarity on Janasena’s ideology. Barring Pawan, there is no other strong voice in the party.
Yet, Janasena feels there’s no competition to it. It is of the opinion that neither TDP nor YSRCP is any match to it. Pawan’s fresh comments have yet again proved his immaturity and of course, his day dreams of becoming CM in 2019. With no cadre at grass roots and no strong leaders in party and no candidates to contest as MLAs, Pawan wants to become Chief Minister which only happens in a Tollywood script, opine senior political analysts. Though Pawan aspires to recreate what Kumaraswamy’s JD(S) did in Karnataka by storming to power with post-poll alliance in case of a hung, Janasena is even far away from such situation. Unlike JD(S), Janasena is not yet established in AP. Unlike Kumaraswamy, Pawan had no political experience. Other than limiting himself to tweets and a few public meetings, Pawan hasn’t done anything for people in concrete. He neither fought with Centre or State on public issues. Barring Uddanam issue, Pawan don’t have a strong weapon to impress people to translate his charm into votes.
Instead of aspiring to serve people selflessly, sadly, Pawan too has fallen to the prey of the Hunger of Power. Only time will tell, where PK and Janasena end up in 2019.
