Bollywood Should Learn from South Cinema
From the last few years, South cinema has started dominating Bollywood, which has been the face of Indian cinema for decades, and the superstars and top filmmakers working there show no qualms in admitting it. Akshay Kumar, one of the top leading men of Hindi cinema, has now said that Bollywood has a lot to learn from south cinema.
The “Khiladi” actor, who is making his South cinema debut with Rajinikanth’s “2.0′, speaking at the audio launch event of the film held the other day in Dubai, said, “I have done 130 Hindi films so far. 2.0 is my 131st film, and my first Tamil film. I got to learn at least something during the making of all those 130 Hindi films, but I was learning throughout the making of “2.0”. I had never imagined to work in such a rich, both financially and conceptually film.”
The National Award winning actor further said that Hindi filmmakers have a lot to learn from their South counterparts. “They work in unity and respect each other’s talent, we have to learn that. They are now taking Indian cinema to international standard, and Bollywood needs to draw inspiration from them,” he added.

RGV’s Satirical Video on Pawan
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who had irked Mega fans innumerable times with his lethal tweets against Mega family heroes, especially Pawan Kalyan and Chiranjeevi, sometime ago quit Twitter, and even apologized for targeting them. The controversial genius then got hyper active on Facebook and Instagram, and it seems he is back to his erstwhile ways to incite controversies.
Varma has recently shared a video, which mocks Pawan Kalyan, on his Facebook page. In the video, Pawan is seen uttering in a massive event that he had not abstained from eating for 11 days. It is a spoof video which mocks Pawan through reaction from various celebs, clips from films.
Sharing such a satirical video targeting Pawan may not go well with fans of Pawan, and the activists of Jana Sena party, especially at a time when the actor was gearing up to take an active plunge into politics. Well, that probably could be his precise intention.
Reasoning that Pawan Kalyan is a political ally of Chandrababu Naidu, some say that Varma’s action of targeting the former could have something to do with his impending “Lakshmi’s NTR”, where he is rumored to target the AP CM.
Guntur Woman’s Complaint on Dairy Milk
Who wouldn’t like to consume chocolates? But, here’s a story which may lessen our penchant for chocolates!
Going into news, a Guntur based woman Darla Anupama lodged a complaint with Consumer Forum on Mondelez India Foods Private Limited, the parent company of Cadbury India, after finding bugs in a couple of daily milk chocolates (roast almond) that she purchased from a local shop in July-2017. In the complaint filed with Consumer Forum, Anupama said that she had immediately spit it out after finding it bitter while eating.
Reacting to her complaint, the Forum has ordered the Food company to pay a penalty of Rs 50,000 for ‘deficiency in service’, Rs 5000 for the costs of petitioner and Rs 90 for the price of two Dairy Milks.
The woman, in her petition, sought a fine of Rs 5 lakh from chocolate manufacturer and retailer. While the retailer got away by claiming that he has got nothing to do with the defects in the chocolate as he’d only distribute the packed confectioners.
The company, through its legal advocate, initially argued that complaint cannot be maintained as the samples of chocolates are not been deposited. But, the forum left them in no choice.
‘Nadendla Then, Revanth Reddy Now’
With Revanth Reddy set to join Congress, the attack about his exit from Telugu Desham have got going. L Ramana, president of Telugu Desham Party in Telangana, today said that Revanth’s exit won’t affect the party in state.Speaking to media, Ramana criticized Revanth’s leaving the party which gave him political birth and made star campaigner of the party.
Calling him an ‘opportunist’, Ramana criticized saying, “Revanth Reddy has been secretly working with Congress leaders and Rahul Gandhi since last six months.’ He further compared Mr. Reddy with Nadendla Bhaskar Rao, who pulled a coup with help of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1984. After that, Bhaskar Rao also became the Chief Minister of state – but remained only for 31 days.
“Even when Bhaskar Rao deceived NTR, Telugu Desham came to power with all force and we’ll repeat the same again. TDP will contest in all 119 constituencies in coming polls and we will try to hoist our party flag in the assembly segments. Only TRS and Congress are our leading opponents,” said Ramana by warning Revanth that he will not be able to see his growth in venom-filled Congress party.
Earlier on Saturday, Revanth Reddy met TDP supreme Chandrababu Naidu in Amaravati and submitted his resignation from the party. While walking out of Babu’s chamber, media asked Revanth to speak about conflict with other leaders of party in Telangana to which he replied: ‘I don’t want to waste my time. I don’t have any opinion on them now’
Who is Babu and Harikrishna in NTR’s biopic?
The biopic film on legendary actor and politician Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao has been in the discussions and debates from last few weeks. While Ram Gopal Varma announced it as Lakshmi’s ‘NTR’, actor Balakrishna has chosen the director’s former assistant Teja to make another biopic on his father.

India Beats US In Smartphone Shipments
India, a growing digital nation, is a now expanding its massive market with record number of smartphone imports. Canalys, a leading marker analyst firm, has on Thursday reported the remarkable rise of smart phone shipments to India by titling it as ‘India overtakes US to become 2nd largest smartphone market’. The impressive third quarter figures of shipments reveal that India has surpassed US to become second largest smartphone hub in the world. China holds the top position.
The report says that India would have accomplished this feat much before, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demonetization move in 2016 has delayed it. According to Canalys report, the leading phone makers like Samsung, Vivo, Xiomi, Oppo and Lenovo hold 75% of the market in India. While Samsung tops the race, Xiomi, Vivo, Oppo & Lenovo follows it. While Samsung shipped 9.4 million smartphones in the second quarter, Vivo has shipped 9.2 million mobiles in the same time.
Whereas United States have shipped a record 2.5 million phones and Apple’s iPhone is the major one from them. In Q3 2017, more than 900,000 devices were shipped from US to India.
Canalys analyst Rushabh Doshi said, ‘The Indian economy is proving very strong in the second half of 2017, now that the twin shocks of GST and demonetization are behind it. Reduced indirect taxes have added new equity to the market, with distributors and retailers able to serve areas beyond their home regions as inter-state operations become easier. As the infrastructure matures, consolidation in distribution is inevitable.’
