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
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?
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.

Baby dies after hospital staff demand Rs. 20 bribe
Most pathetic incident occurred in Uttar Pradesh, where 10 Months old baby died for not paying the bribe of Rs.20 for the staff. Hope you are going mad after understanding the situation in India, where baby life isn’t even cared for just 20 rupees.In a government hospital in Bahraich (near Lucknow) where victim baby was not given timely treatment by the government staff who is being paid huge salaries to serve the poor people, still need money to overcome their luxuries of their lives, finally took a 10 months old baby life as cost for their bribe.
Infant’s father, Shivdutt who is a daily wager, alleged that his son Krishna died because of hospital staff delay in attending the child for treatment and wasted their time for bargaining the bribe from the parents.In that frustration they have given “Wrong Injection” which lead him to death on the morning of 9th August in the district hospital. What is happening on this mother earth?? A baby life doesn’t even matters and government servants are becoming devils with evil thoughts for money.
Will they give back baby life even after shedding crores of money on their head?? Later health ministers will take action on the staff, but why there is no end for such incidents?? Isn’t government responsibility to undertake such incidents and make sure they won’t ever repeat again??Who will answer those parents?? Why can’t government act upon such incidents immediately?? Their punishment should be so severe that, ever they shouldn’t repeat such incidents in their life time!!
