NTR ‘Rajakumara’ In Tollywood?

Share

Over the years, several Telugu films have been remade into Kannada but not many Sandalwood films were recreated in Telugu. Attarintiki Daredi, Ala Modalaindi, Tholi Prema, Kick, Prema Katha Chitram & Pokiri are few blockbusters Telugu films that were remade by Kannada stars.

This time, however, a Telugu hero is likely to reverse the game. Young Tiger NTR, who’s already on roll with hat trick hits and a Television show Bigg Boss, is rumored to change the trend and remake a Kannada film in Tollywood.

According to Film Nagar circles, the latest blockbuster in Sandalwood ‘Rajakumara’ is most-likely to get a Telugu remake and the speculation further strengthens Tarak’s name, as would be the potential hero for this action film. This is drawing immense focus as NTR lent his vocals for a song in Rajakumara.

NTR, who’s already busy shooting for Jai Lava Kusa and Bigg Boss show, hasn’t yet responded to this ongoing gossip. On other hand, young hero Nikhil is also gearing up to feature in Telugu remake of ‘Kirik Party’, a 2016 Kannada blockbuster.

While the Special Investigation Team (SIT) is actively interrogating film celebrities, yet another drug racket, involving four school-going students, was traced by Hyderabad city police. Although police team did not disclose who they are, few media houses reported that they are students of an international school based out of Hyderabad. It’s also reported that they are sons of an IAS official, doctor, software engineer & an industrialist.

These four teenagers were said be having links with drug peddler Calvin, who also is a supplier to film celebrities. After chasing down this drug racket, the Police team has conducted a extensive counseling to all four of them. With help of a dark-net website, created by Calvin, these young students used to regularly book drugs for them.

In a bid to their identity secured, officials didn’t put out their names to media. Also, they found out that Calvin supplied drugs to many school and college-going students of Hyderabad.

Hyderabad Police teams are being highly vigilant over the drug rackets, after Telangana government passed free hand for the investigation. On other hand, Akun Sabarwal led special team is questioning alleged members from Telugu film industry everyday. Director Puri Jagannath, camera man Shyam K Naidu and actor Subbaraju have attended before Excise dept officials so far.

Meet Mr Ghattamaneni Gautam Nanda

We often come across references of Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu, arguably the Top 2 stars of Telugu cinema, in Telugu films. However, never have we seen the strategical use of these two stars’ stardom in a film starring a noted hero.

Sampath Nandi, who has used plethora of Pawan Kalyan’s references in his last film, ‘Bengal Tiger’ starring Ravi Teja, has continued his PK worshiping acts by naming his new film starring Gopichand as ‘Gautam Nanda’, which is assumed to be inspired from Pawan’s screen name in his industry hit film, Attharintiki Daredi. It has now come out that Nandi is not just using Pawan but Mahesh’s name also in his film.

The director himself has reportedly divulged that the surname of his protagonist in ‘Gautam Nanda’ is ‘Ghattamaneni’, which is the real life surname of Mahesh babu. He reasoned that as the hero in his film plays a rich and royal young man, he couldn’t have thought of a better surname than ‘Ghattamaneni’.

Fans of Mahesh will be pleased with the elevation given by Sampath Nandi for Mahesh’s surname. No director has floored fans of both Mahesh and Pawan in such manner in the past. Isn’t this called ‘Two birds with one shot’?

Fidaa Movie Review – 3.25/5

Share

Sekhar Kammula mastered the art of making love stories that can be easily related by today’s youth. After Godavari, Sekhar is finally into his comfort zone, a romantic drama based on strong characters. He is in his elements and the film is a perfect romantic entertainer full on emotions.

Story :

Bhanumathi (Sai Pallavi) is a village belle who has some ideologies. She doesn’t want to go away from her village after the marriage. She says she will only marry a person who is okay with it. Her sister gets married to an NRI. His brother is Varun (Varun Tej), a medico who doesn’t like to stay in India. The couple fall in love but they cannot be together for obvious reasons. Egos comes to the fore and the gap widens.

Performances:

Varun Tej is pretty impressive as an NRI. His styling and body language suits the character. His simple approach to the character makes it special. This film totally belongs to Sai Pallavi. She owned it with a flawless performance. Her Telangana accent is authentic and she is a terrific dancer. Fans who loved her in Premam will once again be impressed with Sai Pallavi’s act. Hero’s brother and heroine’s sister did well. Sai Chand as Sai Pallavi’s father is natural. Rajesh provides some comic relief.

Technicalities:

Sekhar Kammula is at home dealing a feel good love story. After trying various genres he is back to romance and has come up with an endearing love story. There is a bit of problem with the screenplay in the second half, but it is a great job from Sekhar on the whole.

Music by Shaktikanth Karthik is an asset. A couple of songs are fantastic chartbusters and the background score is superb. Cinematography is wonderful. Vijay captures the greenery in Telangana village and the grandeur of American locations with equal ease. Editing is fine. There could have been a bit of trimming towards the end. Production values are good.

Thumbs Up:

  • Sai Pallavi
  • First half
  • Music

Thumbs Down:

  • Lags in second half

Analysis:

Fidaa is a brand Sekhar Kammula film that is focused on characters and moments than on the story and screenplay. Sekhar did a wonderful job in etching the characters. Bhanumathi character is unique and easily the best fleshed out character in the film. Even Varun’s character is endearing and charming. Initial setup is too good that the film breezes off in the first hour even without many songs.

Second half runs on the emotional clash between the couple and slows down a bit. Sekhar didn’t dilute the emotions with forced comedy or so called commercial elements. He made sure that the problems between the couple are clearly explained without any confusion. It might have appeared that the couple is fighting over petty issues, but Sekhar did well to establish the conflict. He also cleverly created subtle humor with those situations.

Pre climax scenes are not properly handled though. It feels a bit dragged and bumpy as the film approaches the climax. Better screenplay and good scenes during the pre climax could have taken it to another level. Barring a few minor hiccups, Fidaa is a beautifully told love story with right emotions and enough entertainment. It will strike a chord with the target audience and should do well in A centers.

Fidaa is one of the most genuine films in recent past and it will surely impress the niche audience. It may not appeal to the mass audience due to its slow paced screenplay. It should do well in overseas market and in cities. Varun’s wait for a hit is finally over. Go watch it.

Verdict: Sai Pallavi will make you Fidaa.

India stormed into the ICC World Cup final, annihilating Defending Champion Australia by 36 runs in the semi-final on Thursday.

India’s vice-captain Harmanpreet Kaur produced one of greatest ever ODI knocks in the history of women’s cricket to take India into the final of the global event. This is the second World Cup final for ‘Women in Blue’, having lost to Australia in the final of the 2005 edition. India will meet hosts England in the final to be played on Sunday.

Kaur’s career-best 171 off 115 balls powered India to an imposing 281 for 4 after rain reduced the game to 42-overs a side. The target proved too big a mountain to scale for the Australians who could manage only 245 before getting all out in 40.1 overs.

The Indian vice’captain’s magical innings, which was embellished with 20 fours and 7 sixes, is being hailed by cricket greats as one of the greatest knocks in the knock out stages. During her ‘hurricane’ sort of innings, she took just 26 balls to reach from 51 to 100 and raced to 150 from 101 in just 17 balls, leaving the Aussie bowlers clueless about how she kept hitting them out of the park, our of the tournament ultimately.

Am Not Kelvin, I’m Nagababu: Guy Shocks Media

Share

Over-enthusiastic section of Television media has crossed all its limits in covering director Puri Jagannadh story over his alleged involvement in drugs case. If this is not enough, a few TV channels have been airing video footage of Puri socialising with a guy, dancing with a guy who had been circled and projected as drug peddler Kelvin.

However, in a major blow to the media, the guy in question has appealed to media that his name is Nagababu and he stays in Bangalore. Asking media to not name him as Kelvin, Nagababu said to have come forwarded to provide necessary proofs for his identity including his identity proof, email id, Facebook username etc.

If this guy was true, media couldn’t correct its mistake in no way and no rejoinder or any sort of compensation would equate the loss and mental agony the person has gone through. In run upto sensationalism, a section of media seems to have taken its ethics, morals for granted in order to earn the TRPs.

It’s high-time, it should maintain some composure and verify facts twice before airing its stories given that the issue is so sensitive and expected to have a drastic impact on people associated with the news.
