Naidu To Make Organ Donation Mandatory?
The next time that your son or daughter needs a driving license, they might have to shell out more than just the fee amount, if Chandrababu Naidu has his way.Speaking on the occasion of an Organ Donation Drive recently, Chandrababu said, “I will donate my organs also.” Good, very good! But then came the shocker!Naidu said he would explore the possibility of making organ donation pledge mandatory while issuing driving licences.
For a driving license, one needs to know how to be able to ride the vehicle and pass the exam. What does organ donation have to do with it?As Chief Minister, he may do whatever is necessary to promote organ donation in the State, but, at the end of the day, it is a personal choice that cannot be forced on the people. What next?
Will he make organ donation mandatory for getting access to welfare schemes of the State government? It’s as ridiculous as asking Rajamouli to help with the construction of Amaravati.
Pawan Taking Cautious Steps In Politics
Power star and Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan seems to have learnt a lesson from his brother Chiranjeevi, who failed to sustain the Praja Rajyam Party which he had founded in 2008 with a lot of fanfare and hype.Once-bitten-twice-shy Pawan does not want his Praja Rajyam Party experience to be repeated with his Jana Sena Party.Chiranjeevi got tremendous response from the people and massive support from his fans, he failed to convert this craze among them into votes.
By the time he realised that elections are a different ball game, his experiment with politics fizzled out and he had no option but to merge it with the Congress party.Sources said Pawan is going in a calculated manner. He knows he has a huge fan following among the youth, but he is also aware of the fact that caste factor plays a key role in the elections.So, while giving an impression that he is fighting for the people’s issues, he is also silently encouraging the Kapu leaders in the party to ensure that their vote bank is solidly behind him.
Unlike his brother, who banked purely on his fans, Pawan Kalyan is said to be working out strategies to convert fan following into votes at the booth-level.At the same time, his party is designing a vision document that would form a basis for his manifesto.“It doesn’t require years to build the party from top to bottom. We are going to do it within the next couple of months,” a party leader said.
Ram Charan’s Villain Shocks Devadas’ Makers
Bollywood star Vivek Oberoi is popular among Telugu movie lovers for his films like Ram Gopal Varma’s Company and the Rakta Charitra franchise. Vivek is making his Tollywood comeback with the Ram Charan-Boyapati Srinu film.
For RC12, Vivek charged a cool Rs 1.25 crores as his remuneration. With such a high profile project in hand, it looks like Vivek understood the demand for his dates and hiked his fee by almost double the amount he’s getting for RC12.
Apparently, the makers of Nagarjuna and Nani’s multistarrer ‘Devadas’ were shocked when they approached Vivek for the villain’s role in their movie. Vivek is said to have quoted Rs 2.5 crores as his pay. Stunned by Vivek’s skyhigh demand, Devadas’ makers said to have dropped the idea of casting him and are now looking for a suitable alternative.
#BiggBoss2: Reason Behind The Leaks!
Ever since Bigg Boss season 2 began around a couple of months ago, nonstop leaks of the show’s daily updates, weekly eliminations and wildcard entries are leaving the show’s organisers in a huge apprehension. The constant leaks that turned out to be true each time at least one day ahead of the next telecast are also diluting the mystery around the show to a huge extent.
The Bigg Boss leaks started off when the names of all the 16 contestants who were selected to take part in the second season were leaked on social media a day before the inaugural show. It then continued with the leakage of the eliminations of Sanjana, Nutan Naidu, Syamala, Bhanu Sree and Tejaswi and even Nandini recently.
The leakage menace was not as serious in the first season. And the reason is simple. The first season was shot in the original Bigg Boss house set in Lonavala near Pune with an all-Hindi crew. But the second season is being shot at a specially erected house set at Annapurna Studios.Now that the game just a month away before being concluded, the show’s organisers are trying out all means to prevent any further leaks. Whether they will be successful or not will be known in the coming weeks.

I will just be with family and some close friends.”
Mahesh likes to be out of Hyderabad for his birthday, a day when fans and well-wishers drop in at his residence any time with their good wishes.”It is fans who make my birthday special. However, the volume of well-wishers gets overwhelming. So I like to be out of the country for most of my birthdays. However, of late I’ve been in Hyderabad for my birthdays as my son’s school is open and we can’t afford to let him miss classes for a birthday which in any case is like any other day.”
What’s the secret of his Peter Pan looks at 43?

Srinivasa Kalyanam : Movie Review
Makers of Shatamanam Bhavati now focus upon Indian traditional wedding and its importance. Entire second half of the film revolves around marriage arrangements and process of a Telugu wedding.
Story :
Srinivas (Nithin) comes from an orthodox joint family and Sridevi (Rashi) is the younger daughter of a business tycoon RK (Prakash Raj). They fall in love and Srinivas meets RK, who values time in money. RK agrees to the marriage on one agreement. Srinivas has to sign a pre-marital agreement according to the deal. In return, Srinivas asks RK’s presence in the wedding arrangements whenever it is needed. How RK gets to know the value of relations and greatness of wedding forms rest of the story.
Performances:
Nithin plays a soft spoken good ‘Ramudu manchi baludu’ character that has high doses of drama. He is impressive in the romantic scenes with Rashi Khanna. His performance in the final sequence filled with a lot of melodrama is noteworthy. There’s a lot of hype around Rashi’s character, but she plays a very regular character that has not much to write about. Prakash Raj has done similar characters in the past and it’s just cakewalk for the veteran. Jayasudha also does her usual stuff. Rajendra Prasad, Sitara, and Naresh are fine in their respective supporting roles.
Technicalities:
Vegesna Satish follows similar family drama template of Shatamanam Bhavati again. That film talked about the importance of taking care of parents in their old age and this one glorifies the traditional wedding. Besides impressive dialogue and a few melodramatic scenes that strike chord with the female audience, Srinivasa Kalyanam is a pretty ordinary film with routine setup and situations. Director doesn’t present it in a fresh way as it runs on a predictable note from start to finish.
Music by Mickey Meyer is good. A couple of songs stand out and the background score also is alright. Sameer Reddy’s camera captures the scenic beauty of Godavari districts in an impressive way. Dialogues are good in parts. Production values are decent.
Thumbs Up:
Nithin’s performance
Emotions
Dialogues
Thumbs Down:
Routine characters
Predictable conflict
Boring first half
Analysis:
Srinivasa Kalyanam is a film strictly targeted at the audience who love to watch tear jerking television soaps. The main conflict of the film comes to the fore only at the intermission point and the solution for it seems very predictable that it hardly engages the audience. First half of the film is extremely tedious with an ordinary love story between the lead pair and a few outdated jokes.
The film looks like a forced attempt to preach the greatness of Indian weddings and culture. Second half is totally dedicated to the process of pre wedding and the emotions that the main characters go through in the meantime. Climax is emotional but is very predictable. There are a few relatable scenes and dialogue that will directly connect with the contemporary audience. Satires on people sending wedding invitations on whatsapp and attending the weddings just for the sake of ‘attendance’ are striking.
Apart from dashes of humor here and there, Srinivasa Kalyanam is very dramatic and unrealistic at times. It gets preachy at times with the actors breaking into unending monologues. This may appeal to melodrama lovers but will make the entertainment seeking audience cringe in their seats. Youth will surely feel exhausted with the film offering literally zero entertainment in the second hour.
The film is like watching a wedding video in the second half. Most of the emotional scenes are artificial and fake that they couldn’t create any impact. Good performances and impressive dialogue are the only saving grace for this otherwise routine melodramatic wedding saga. The commercial outcome will totally depend upon how much the female audience likes it.
Verdict: Wedding CD!

KCR policy: Anti-Cong means pro-BJP!
Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao seems to believe in the theory that enemy’s enemy is a friend, though the latter is also an enemy locally.The TRS has decided to support Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance candidate Harivansh Narayan Singh of the Janata Dal (U) in the Rajya Sabha deputy chairman elections to be held on Thursday.
The reasoning given by the TRS chief while speaking to his party’s Rajya Sabha MPs is that they cannot vote for the Congress candidate, because the TRS treats the Congress as its enemy and is fighting against it in the elections in Telangana.Defending his stand further, KCR reportedly told the party MPs that it is the JD (U) candidate and not the BJP candidate who is contesting the elections.
Moreover, JD (U) leader and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar personally called him seeking support to his party candidate Harivansh Narayan.Like YSR Congress party, the TRS, too, could have abstained from polling in the RS deputy chairman elections, if it treats the BJP too as its enemy. But by deciding to support the NDA candidate, KCR has clearly established that he would embrace anybody, who opposes the Congress party.
Since the BJP is opposing the Congress, he would support the BJP or NDA candidate, notwithstanding the fact that the BJP is also his rival in the Telangana.By adopting this stand, KCR has hit two birds at one shot. He has displayed his anti-Congress stand and the same time, sent a message to the people that the BJP is not a force in Telangana and he could manage the Centre with his lobbying power!
