We have seen Jhansi, Udaya Bhanu and Suma ruling over many other tv and audio event hosts with their ability to talk and entertain audience all these years. The next generation anchors who gained equal popularity with heroines are undoubtedly Anasuya and Rashmi. So far we witnessed only female anchor growing popular each day, but there is one male anchor enjoying the top slot at this moment. Pradeep Machiraju garnered lots of accolades and praises for his instant answers, timing and respect too. Anyone can hardly remember a popular male anchor in past, except Omkar. But Pradeep looks like he has come from a different school.

Along with many other popular programs he is hosting, his Konchem Touch lo Unte Cheptanu is blockbuster. Pradeep managed to gain attention among stars and all of them obliged to participate in his fun show. All top heroines were the guests in early weeks of this talk show, now making it to next level, superstars like Mahesh Babu, Devi Sri Prasad and even Bollywood star hero Akshay Kumar too were among the recent guests.

Pradeep must be earning in good numbers of currency, but is definitely earning fans in multiples of that money. It is not an exaggeration when he is grabbing many offers that can go to super popular Suma recently, making him the hottest host in this era, leaving Anasuya and Rashmi too far behind. Way to go!

BABU BANGARAM Movie Review

August 12, 2016

Story

Krishna aka Babu Bangaram is an ACP who is kind to an extremely high level who cannot tolerate other’s suffering. By seeing the hardships facing by Sailaja (Nayanathara) whose father Sastry (Jaya Prakash) is absconding, Krishna decide to help Sailaja and falls for her. He slowly becomes like a member in her family and proposes her for which she is positive. It makes her brother in law Batthayi Babu (Thirty Years Prudhvi) angry as he is trying to marry her and makes a mess in her home leaving oldie end in hospital. Absconded father comes to hospital to see his mother and their family comes to know that it is a sketch penned by Krishna to nab Sastry. Why is Sastry absconding?? How Krishna solve all the problems form the rest of the story.

Performance

Venkatesh is terrific in his role who has a bit high dosage of kindness despite being a police officer. He entertained with his mannerisms and given a very impactful performance for family audiences. Nayanathara is fantastic as Sailaja. She expressed a lot through her eyes. Not only she is expressive on screen, she is also looking gorgeous on screen. Thirty years Prudhvi is hilarious and highly entertaining despite some flaws. Vennela Kishore is as usual in his best entertaining thoroughly. Posani is nice. Jaya Prakash is good as Nayanathara’s father. Brahmanandam who enters in second half is okay. Sampath Raj is good. Other artists are fine.

techinical Performance

Songs composed by Ghibran are good and the album has some instant chartbusters. His background score is nice. Cinematography by Richard Prasad is nice. He has given a new dimension for the movie with his visuals. Editing by Uddhav is okay leaving some more behind to do. Stunts and action sequences are choreographed well. Production values are rich.

Plus Points:

Victory Venkatesh as Krishna
Nayanathara as Sailaja
Couple of songs by Ghibran

Minus Points:

Routine Story
Second Half
Lame Comedy

Final Say:

As Maruthi’s previous movie Bhale Bhale Magadivoi is a story of a person with memory loss, Babu Bangaram is a story of a person with highly kind heart. How he solved his lover’s problem putting his kindness aside is the core of Babu Bangaram. First half has some hilarious moments involving Venkatesh, Prudhvi, Vennela Kishore and others. After a series of comic scenes without moving story even an inch forward Interval comes where a twist which is convincing but not highly interesting.After an average and entertaining first half second half begins in a serious mode. Everything starts revealing and story is moved forward. Entertainment levels slowly decreases which everyone expects from Venkatesh and Maruthi. Director Maruthi has done a mediocre job in terms of script and tried his best to show Venkatesh in a new way and he is succeeded to a good level. He tried his best to inject comedy wherever possible and has used Prudhvi, Vennela Kishore and Posani Krishna Murali and Brahmanandam. To sumup, this Venkatesh starrer in the direction of Maruthi has nothing much to offer.

Kickass Torrents unblocked? Mirror Kat.am back online, but under scammers’ control; what are your alternatives

August 12, 2016

kickass

Following the shutdown of the world’s most popular torrent site, Kickass Torrents, and all of its domains, internet users find themselves in a tricky situation. The first instinct after any torrent site is taken down is to look for a mirror or a clone, but finding the right one is a challenging task.After the authorities took down Kat.ph and other Kickass domains, a lot of clone sites were released, one of which was also operated by ISOHUNT – another popular torrent site. But not all torrent clones shared the same interest as Kickass Torrents, hence, making users a potential target for scams and cheats.

One of the popular Kickass Torrents mirror was Kat.am, which for so long served the purpose of delivering pirated content to netizens. The mirror was briefly suspended after the Motion Picture Association lodged a complaint against the site. But the opportunity was quickly seized by scammers, who picked up the domain name for registration and re-released Kat.am.

Now, Kat.am looks just like it was prior to the suspension, but it is asking people to sign up for an account with a credit card before trying to download anything. This is a big warning sign to stay clear of the site, even though it says “Free Account Required,” but asks for credit card details after redirecting users to a suspicious site.

There is no denial in the fact that this is a way for scammers to target users. But if you fall prey to such scams and sign up with your bank credentials, be prepared for some disappointment and a possible loss. Those who are new to the torrent community are the easy targets, but it must be noted that a legit torrent site wouldn’t ask for your bank details.

The torrent community has been besieged by such clone sites after two of the biggest torrent sites, Torrentz and Kickass Torrents shut down. While some users are losing hope in the torrent community, there are those who are constantly on the hunt for an alternative. There are a few torrent sites that are still working, but not sure for how long.

iPhone 7 release date revealed: Will it boost sales of Apple smartphone in India?

August 12, 2016

apple

All eyes are on Apple’s upcoming flagship smartphone iPhone 7 as its release date is drawing near. Expectations from the device is huge this time, more so because of a decline in sales of iPhones for two consecutive quarters. Now, the big question is whether the iPhone 6s successor will bail the company from poor sales.The Cupertino giant is maintaining utmost secrecy on the release date of the iPhone 7, but Bloomberg has claimed in a report that it will be released on Sept. 7, the same day when Sony has scheduled its PlayStation event. It contradicts an earlier claim made by leakster Evan Blass aka @evleaks that the device will be announced on Sept. 12.

Apple’s share in Indian smartphone market is getting thinner instead of increasing, considering growth of smartphone users in the country. According to market research firm Strategy Analytics, Apple sold only 0.8 million iPhones in the Q2 this year in India compared to 1.2 million units sold in Q2, 2015. The company’s share in Indian smartphone market has dropped to 2.4 percent from 4.5 percent in Q2 last year, which will worry Apple’s think-tanks.

It is to be seen if the upcoming iPhone 7 will boost sales of the Apple smartphone in India, but if not this time, it will become even harder to make its presence felt in the country, as Android’s dominance is palpable with 97 percent smartphones running on the OS as of Q 2, 2016, compared to 90 percent in the corresponding period last year.

Apple is expected to announce iPhone 7 with a 4.7-inch screen, and iPhone 7 Plus with a 5.5-inch display and dual camera. Both the models are expected to share other specifications like A10 chip, iOS 10 software, 3GB RAM, and camera with OIS feature. It is also expected to feature a capacitive touch button and replace the 3.5mm headphone jack with a lightning jack.
