Superstar: Happy for Baahubali, but didn’t watch

Share

Like many other superstars of Bollywood, they all hail Baahubali for its brilliant collections from box office but in the end say, they didn’t watch it. After Salman Khan and Shahrukh, here comes the next Khan joining this bandwagon.

Other day at the trailer launch of “Secret Superstar” Bollywood media asked Aamir Khan if he feels pressurised due to the phenomenal success of Baahubali2, his reply was like this.

“I’m happy that Baahubali 2 showed us real potential of Hindi cinema which is way more than 500 crores. Also, the film cut all language barriers. Unfortunately, I didn’t found time to watch the film yet” he said.

That’s one epic response given by all big Bollywood Superstar and that explains how insecure they are about a regional Telugu film like Baahubali 1 and 2 shaking box offices up north. On the flip side, Aamir congratulated Baahubali team for such a phenomenal success.

In the video, which is possibly shot by the deceased men’s friends, it can be seen that the two drunk men with bottles in hand, climbing the fence around the edge of the valley, as if they were challenged to do so. Later, they stand on the edge, beyond the fence, amidst the cheers of their friends, as they slipped down.

The tragic incident took place at a noted tourist place in Maharashtra. The two men’s bodies are yet to be recovered.

DJ Dashes Hopes Of Sarrainodu!!

Share

Everyone including director Harish Shankar, producer Dil Raju and last but not the least hero Allu Arjun expected to recreate a bigger feat with DJ Duvvada Jagannadham. Fate has other plans for them, as all the stints worked only to a certain level at the box office and finally their hopes dashed.

Allu Arjun’s career biggest hit is rn”Sarrainodu” movie which made 76+ crores ‘share’ from box office across rnthe globe. Now, Bunny and Co have made sure that their new release will rnbeat this previous record as it is happening since some time. Race rnGurram has beaten previous ones, S/o Satyamurthy overtook Race Gurram rnand so. But to make it happen, Bunny should have taken the shoulder of rncontent, but he believed in extreme publicity.

Final figures do rnindicate that DJ Duvvada Jagannadham collected only 71+ crores share rnfrom across the globe, falling behind Sarrainodu collections. That way rnhopes of Bunny and his battalion got dashed at the box office. But for arn film that got a huge negative talk on day one, huge criticism from rncinema lovers and film critics, it’s an astounding feat to collect 70 rncrores share.

On the flip side, producer Dil Raju has already applied ointment to those who sustained injuries in the losses created by DJ to a little bit. His Fidaa is doing wonders for them and next time people buy a Dil Raju film they would surely feel happy as the producer will minimise the losses for sure. Maybe DJ team should thank Fidaa team as well for the help.

Nakshatram Movie Review – 2/5

Share

Krishna Vamsi who has been out of form from many years has come up with Nakshatram, a film with police backdrop. Notable star cast and Krishna Vamsi’s past record raised hopes on Nakshatram, but it turned out to be a very loud insensible film.

Story :

Rama Rao (Sundeep) comes from a family of police men. His only aim is to become a sub inspector. He overcomes all the hurdles to live his dream, but disaster strikes in the form of Rahul (Tanish) and Ramarao’s dreams are shattered. Ramarao decides to do the police work without being appointed and nabs a weapon smuggler. Ramarao happens to wear missing IPS officer Alexander’s (Sai Dharam Tej) uniform that puzzles the police department. Why did Alexander go missing and what happens to Ramarao’s dream of turning a cop?

Performances:

Sundeep Kishan is sincere in playing his part. Despite the eccentricity associated with his character, Sundeep comes up with a decent performance altogether. Sai Dharam Tej’s screen presence is good, but his character is poorly written. He doesn’t make any impact with his cameo. Regina oozes oomph and Pragya is fine as a badass police woman. Prakash Raj and Shivaji Raja are their usual self. Tanish is adequate as the drug addict. Tulasi is over the top. There is nothing much to write home about others including JD Chakravarthy.

Technicalities:

Krishna Vamsi’s intentions are good but the execution goes haywire. Everything about the film is over the top and unbearably loud. Even the making style of the film is stuck in nineties. It is pretty evident that Krishna Vamsi is totally out of form.

Music is unimpressive. The soundtrack lacks appeal and the background score is too loud. Editing is clumsy and cinematography is a disaster. It looks like a low quality product. Production values are very poor.

Thumbs Up:

  • Nothing much

Thumbs Down:

  • Bad script
  • Over the top performances
  • Terrible second half

Analysis:

Krishna Vamsi films are usually loud and people who have watched his earlier films are well aware of it. But Nakshatram is on a whole new level in terms of loudness. It is louder even for Krishna Vamsi’s standards. The plot of the film itself sounds silly and unrealistic. The first half of the film is barely passable.

One would expect the second half to be better as Sai Dharam Tej’s cameo is in the offing. However, second half turns utterly terrible and even Tej’s special appearance couldn’t save it. His character is poorly etched and it hardly makes any impact due to badly conceived scenes. Climax is a slog. The film is an exhausting experience to its viewers as it never rises above the mediocrity at any point.

Adding to the poor script and pointless direction, artistes performances are alarmingly over the top that the film endlessly puts the audience patience to test. There is not a single point that makes Nakshatram sparkle for a bit. If first half is bad, the second half is terrible and there are no words to describe the pathetic climax. One would keep wondering what happened to the ‘creative director’ that have created some cinematic gems in the past.

On a whole, Nakshatram is the kind of a film that makes you regret for choosing to watch it over all other options. Watch it at your own risk!

Verdict: Fading Star.

Kajal Doesn’t Trust Anyone Anymore?

Share

After her manager Ronnie recently got arrested in drugs case, top actress Kajal Aggarwal has reportedly decided to manage her career on her own.

Ronnie’s arrest and the way her name has been dragged into the potentially detrimental drugs case, has reportedly disturbed Kajal very much. She is now treading with extreme caution and is in no moon to trust any outsider, however skillful and experienced he/she may be.

Although Kajal’s career is managed by her parents, her erstwhile manager Ronnie used to accompany her for film shoots, promotional events, endorsements etc. After his arrest, reports emerged that Kajal was looking to hire a senior and trustworthy manager but she ultimately decided to manage her activities on her own, with the support of her parents, according to latest reports.

On work front, Kajal is currently awaiting the release of Nene Raju Nene Mantri, on August 11 and Ajith’s Vivekam, on August 24.

Frustraded Jagan Says Shoot Naidu In Public

Share

Addressing a public meeting in Nandyal town on Thursday ahead of the by-poll on 23rd August, YSRC party chief YS Jagan made several scathing comments against AP CM Chandrababu Naidu. In an emotional outburst, he even said that Naidu should be shot in public for endlessly scheming people to gain votes with sympathy.

Chandrababu is no different from the person who himself kills his parents and tries to gain sympathy later. Looking at the deceptive ploys being used by Naidu to gain sympathy of voters in Nandyal, I feel that there is nothing wrong if he is shot in public,’ uttered Jagan.

This is not the first time Jagan made such serious comments against Chandrababu. But, uttering to shoot the CM of a state in a massive public meeting is something no leader has said ever.

The Opposition party head’s scathing statement shocked many. Reacting to it, a senior TDP leader said that the comment of Jagan only shows his desperation for power and the lowest level that he has stooped to.

This is not the way a leader who runs a party should speak. Is this the way anyone should speak against the Chief Minister of a state? Jagan’s statement has irked many TDP workers and now they want to file a case against him in their personal capacity,” he added.

During his no-holds-barred speech, Jagan also alleged, “Chandrababu first backstabbed his father-in-law Sr NTR for power, but he has no shame in using his portraits while campaigning whenever elections come up. In the same way, Naidu betrayed Kapus but he brought Pawan Kalyan into the scene ahead of the Nandyal by-poll for vote bank.
