Like any Eid release of Salman Khan, Tubelight had been riding high with stupendous expectations. Pouring cold water on all those expectations, the film released the other day turned out to be a damp squib. Opened to poor to mixed reviews all over, Salman’s performance as a developmentally disabled man is under fire. Few critics have dubbed it as Salman’s ‘worst’ performance in his career till date. This is not all.

In fact, everyone apart from Salman has received thumbs up for the performances but Salman’s straight face seems to have marred the film that is loosely a remake of 2015 American film Little Boy.

Set in 1962, Tubelight is an anti-war film which see Salman as Laxman Singh Bisht. His mission is to stop wars as his brother Bharat (Sohail) has gone across the border to fight in the Indo-Chinese war. Laxman is good at heart but he is laughed at for his disability. What are the changes that come in Laxman’s way and how they change the things swiftly form the story.

Another noted critic simply stated that the message of Tubelight is delivered right – love conquers all, but he pointed that the messenger has ‘failed’. The Bajrangi Bhaijaan duo Kabir-Salman this time has failed to recreate the magic.

Nathalia Kaur, the Brazilian bombshell who made her cinematic debut with Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Department’, has personified hotness in this latest photo shoot.

Being a fitness freak, the hot lady is the proud owner of sensational curves and she has the audacity to flaunt those toned assets of hers in skimpy outfits. This particular picture where she is seen flaunting her hawt figure from head-to-toe in a bikini, is an outright heart attack inducer.

The adjoining pictures where she is seen rolling at beaches in bikini, striking sexy poses in swimming pool, flaunting eye-popping cleavage etc. are no less hot either.

The Task Force police on Friday, in a press meet, confirmed that the two persons who were arrested in the city on Thursday were trying to exchange the Rs 7 crore demonetized currency.

The police earlier arrested Puranam Purushotham (50) and Palati Srinivasa Rao (45), two film production managers red-handed with Rs 7 crore demonetized currency. Upon inquiry, it was unearthed that the money allegedly belonged to M. Koteshwar Raju, a Chennai-based film producer who has been making Telugu and Tamil films on his JyoStar Enterprises banner since 2016. Rajasekhar’s upcoming film ‘PSV Garuda Vega’ is his latest production venture.

Police said both Purushotham and Srinivasa Rao joined JyoStar Enterprises as production managers and have been operating from their Hyderabad office situated at Road no 71, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad.

A few days ago, Koteshwar Raju came to Hyderabad and handed over them the Rs 7 crore demonetized currency. He promised them 10% commission for exchanging the full sum. The duo then hid the currency in their office at Jubilee Hills and were searching for persons having connections to exchange the money.

Acting on a tip-off, the Central zone Task Force police nabbed the duo on Thursday. The exact source of money will only be ascertained when the absconding Koteshwar Raju is taken into custody. Manhunt is on for him.

Since one of the arrested production managers, Srinivas Rao happens to be a close aide of Jeevitha-Rajaskehar couple, the incident hogged full media attention.

Other days’ release “DJ Duvvada Jagannadham” has received a bag of mixed reviews from all quarters. Though some of the normal public is enjoying the fun factor in the movie, many review writers blasted the film for lack of a fresh story or concept. What has director Harish Shankar to say about this?

“There is no co-relation between Reviews, Ratings and Revenues these days. If you could notice, the websites that gave lowest ratings to DJ Duvvada Jagannadham had given similar ratings to other industry hits and blockbusters. So, ratings don’t define revenues at the box office” says Harish.

He further elaborated, “For example, if we take Dil Raju’s Satamanam Bhavati, the film got below-average ratings, but upon made with 10 crores budget it collected 40 crores. And the same film which didn’t interested reviewers has impressed the jury of National Awards of won the award”. He stated that there is no wrong in reviewing and rating a movie but urged everyone to see that as an individual opinion or just opinion of a couple of guys. “Ratings must not be given a universal status as that is purely based on the individual taste of review writers”.

At the same time, Harish voiced that DJ Duvvada Jaganandham openings are the highest in the career of Bunny and also stressed that the film would be highest grosser in the hero’s career. Producer Dil Raju seconded Harish’s opinion!!
