“Coming to India feels like coming home”!

Share

adnan

Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir and Salman are concerned about the rising intolerance in India and poor Aamir Khan’s wife was so worried that she asked her husband whether they ought to be leaving the country. And the sad part is that when someone criticizes the Khans even after they made these depressing statements, he or she is still labeled intolerant or communal.

And at the other end of the spectrum, we have Pakistan singer Adnan Sami who has successfully acquired Indian citizenship. When a reporter quizzed Adnan Sami on whether he felt India was intolerant, he replied, “If India was intolerant, then why would I apply for citizenship? I feel absolutely safe in India and that’s why I chose to become a citizen of this wonderful country.”

He further added, “I have lived all across the globe but coming to India feels like coming home.” So, there it is in a nutshell! A Pakistani feels absolutely comfortable with applying for Indian citizenship but ordinary folks born and bred here and made into superstars by the people of India, feel the atmosphere not conducive to the safety of minorities.

Is it the irony that is always inherent in India or is it a case of just three celebrities having a problem with the wiring in their heads?

Nizamabad MP and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter K Kavitha said she would cast her vote to BJP if that party leaders fetch Rs 20,000-crore package to the State.

Addressing party activists’ meeting at Banjara Hills under Khairathabad Assembly constituency on Monday, Kavitha threw a challenge at Union Minister Bandaru Dattatraya and Telangana State BJP president G Kishan Reddy saying that they should fetch Rs 20,000-crore package to prove their closeness to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“I will cast my vote to BJP candidate if their leaders bring that package”, she said. Stating that poor people were more in Khairathabad constituency, Kavitha assured them that the TRS government would regularize their house sites in the constituency.

She also criticized TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu indirectly alleging that the latter constructed Hi-Tech City but had forgotten construction of drainage system.

Prabhas Bahubali Keeps Unreachable Targets

The margin of winning gap between ‘Aththarintiki Daaredi’ and ‘Magadheera’ industry hit collection records isn’t as wide as what we see today between new record breaking films ‘Bahubali’ and ‘Srimanthudu.’ Yes, SS Rajamouli and Prabhas have took the Telugu cinema commercial standards so high which is in fact unachievable for any of the films set to release in next one year, except ‘Bahubali 2.’

Apparently, the Box Office strategy followed by ‘Bahubali’ is implemented as it is by ‘Srimanthudu’ which is now standing in Top 2 highest revenue generating Tollywood films. ‘Although ‘Srimanthudu’ records are more or less in the achievable field again either for Mahesh Babu or Pawan Kalyan but ‘Bahubali 1’ records can be broken only if ‘Bahubali 2’ performs above than the expected scale,’ comments an analyst.

Take it with a silver lining, Prabhas will stay on top most industry records may be for next 5 to 10 years in the name of ‘Bahubali 1’ and ‘Bahubali 2.’ No one can reach that No 1 position until and unless Rajamouli picks Mahesh Babu or Pawan Kalyan or even Junior NTR for his next project. Will this happen? The chances are quite meager.

Harish Shankar Remains in Dil Raju Camp

Director Harish Shankar has more than couple of times showed his utmost admiration and indebtedness towards producer Dil Raju for keeping lot of trust on him. After ‘Gabbar Singh,’ no more Harish was into the scale of directing Raviteja or other heroes in 30 Crores range. Dil Raju was also hurried to juice on the director’s skill and agreed for ‘Ramayya Vasthavayya’ which went on to become the disaster in Junior NTR career.

Not to stop here, Dil Raju did not lose the confidence on Harish and the next offer at debated remuneration was on the cards with Sai Dharam Tej’s ‘Subramanyam for Sale’ and this time, Harish was a bit improved as the film stood as above average grosser. Now, what’s next for Harish Shankar? Whom is he going to direct next? What kind of a story and script, he is having on hand?

There are so many questions among film circles to know about Harish’s future assignments. Some sources say, none of our star heroes like Pawan or Mahesh or NTR are not in a position to give dates for Harish, taken his weak track record off late. If he has to climb up the scale, Harish should come up with a real blockbuster with any of our upcoming young heroes before approaching the above three. For this to happen, Harish has no other way than to stick with Dil Raju camp.

That’s Difference Between Ram and Naga Shaurya Movies

Share

that-difference-between-ram-and-naga-shaurya-movies_b_0501160912

The parallel releases of Naga Shaurya’s ‘Abbayitho Ammayi’ and Ram’s ‘Nenu Shailaja’ coinciding with the star of New Year surely needed a quick case of study as both the results stood in quite contrast. While ‘Abbayitho Ammayi’ is declared a unanimous flop, ‘Nenu Shailaja’ is raking the moolah in Indian and Overseas market too. That’s the difference between a good and bad movie.

Coming to the genre, both being romantic entertainers aimed at youth audience why is it the Box Office results are non-identical? Analysts opined that ‘Nenu Shailaja’ has nothing new in storyline. It was the sincerity in treatment of characterizations and presence of mind in penning the dialogues does the magic. Every scene in ‘Nenu Shailaja’ will find a reference in one or the other old hit films including the romantic ones. However, Kishore Tirumala was honest towards his job and that was something new in a Ram’s film.

On the other side, ‘Abbayitho Ammayi’ touched a new, contemporary point of dealing with social networking love affairs. However, Ramesh Varma missed in providing an engaging narration with outdated treatment and ruthless screenplay. Writing was also so pathetic. It’s time for hero Naga Shaurya to analyze his past mistakes and learn lessons watching the clean and neat success of Ram with ‘Nenu Shailaja.’

Hmm… the Sardaar in our context is not Pawan Kalyan ‘Sardaar Gabbar Singh’ but the subject is about Sadaar community and jokes generally we see in the form of SMS and on internet making fun of Sikhs. Supreme Court of India has taken this case of offending a community and examined the plea to ban jokes on Sikhs. If needed, there will be an appeal for prohibition too.

A Sikh lawyer named Harvinder Chowdary raised a PIL in Supreme Court seeking for a total ban on such jokes. She felt that such jokes are an attack on dignity of their community and violate their fundamental right of ‘Right to Equality.’ Chief Justice TS Thakur reacted on the case saying, ‘If we think that your community does feel bad about it, we will definitely seriously consider it.’

There is a strong demand from Sikh community requesting the Government to remove Sardaar jokes from internet and also provide necessary filters to prevent in spreading of such jokes again in future. Delhi Sikh Gurduwara Management Committee is also reported to have hired top most Lawyer Ram Jethmalani in dealing with the case. They have taken the things seriously folks… no more jokes on Sardaar.

I know this is not so easy but I loved and willfully took this burden which I can’t complain on. When I got into 11th standard, the syllabus was very vast and I was hit by it so hardly.

Now, I am 12th and it’s still tougher. Also the Delhi based students give a competitive atmosphere and there is a lot of study I have to cope up with. I can understand the situation. So, I am pushing my best and really want to do well both in studies and films,’ Malavika Nair said in a News Paper interview while celebrating the birthday.

The Central government has announced Rs 41,000 Crore road projects for the new state of Telangana. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday announced road projects for the new state, including two Express Highways from the state capital Hyderabad to Bengaluru in Karnataka and Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh. “The total package for Telangana is Rs 41,000 crore.

This is not the final figure. It is still open for discussion. And if any new National Highway is recommended from the leaders of Telangana or from the state government or from our (BJP) leaders, we will think positively and we will support Telangana as a new state,” Gadkari told media.

The Union Road Transport and Highways Minister today laid the foundation stone of 4-lane of Yadgir and Warangal section of NH-202 (new NH-163) of length 99 km costing Rs 1,424 crore. He said the government will soon prepare the Detailed Project Reports (DPR) for two Express Highways connecting Hyderabad with Bengaluru and Vijayawada.

“The Telangana portion of cost of construction for the two Express Highways would be Rs 16,000 crore covering 190 km for Vijayawada and 210 km for Bengaluru Express Highways,” the minister said. According to Gadkari, making of inland waterways would be the NDA government’s top priority. He also assured that his ministry would take up works of making waterways in Telangana, once the related proposals are cleared by Parliament. According to him, as many as 111 waterways projects are pending for clearance in the Rajya Sabha.

As Telangana is a land-locked state, the Centre has taken a decision to construct a dry port on Godavari river. The dry port on Godavari will be acting as a multi-model hub. There will be a National Highway, waterways and at the same time aviation connection will also be there.’

Trumps First Ad: Muslim Ban, Cut ISIS’ Head

Front runner in the republican presidential race, Donald trump’s first and much anticipated TV advertisement was rolled out featuring promises that Trump will ‘cut’ ISIS’ head and ‘take their oil.’

Surprisingly, the ad begins with the shots of President Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton. Then a US battleship launching cruise missile attack was featured. It swiftly shifted towards suspects of recent California terror strike via explosive montage.

Shadows racing across the US-Mexico border and Islamic State militants were seen in the footage. A deep voiced man was narrating ominously about why Trump was calling for temporary shutdown of Muslims entering in the US, until they get to know what was happening.

“He’ll quickly cut the head off ISIS and take their oil. And he’ll stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for,” he said.

The ad closes with Trump saying ‘we will make America great again’ at one of his rallies.

The advertisement clarifies that Trump’s final pitch to voters will be as instinctive and capturing as the one he conveys at boisterous rallies.

Doubts Raising On Nannaku Prematho ‘Likes’

ntr

Young Tiger NTR’s Nannaku Prematho is set for a mammoth worldwide release on the 13th of this month as a Sankranthi special treat for fans. NTR’s never seen before stylish makeover and his first for collaboration with creative director Sukumar together escalated fans’ expectations to an all-time high.

This sensational craze eventually resulted in the whopping number of views and likes for the film’s theatrical trailer which was released a week ago. NTR’s fans stormed YouTube ever since the trailer released, as the trailer surpassed the 1 million views mark in a single channel within 24 hours, a record only preceded by Baahubali’s trailer.

Till date, Nannaku Prematho’s trailer got more than 26 lakh views on YouTube and the number of likes is 37,763. Just to compare, the release trailer of Baahubali has so far struck more than 63 lakh views and its number of likes is only 35,851.

This equation led to several doubts raising on social media on the number of likes for Nannaku Prematho trailer. Many are wondering how can the trailer with almost 2 times less views than Baahubali get nearly 2,000 more likes.

Whatever it may be, these are definitely not fake numbers since YouTube is quite strict in regulating any discrepancies in the number of views or likes the videos get. Well then, could it be NTR’s fans’ over enthusiasm?

Sukumar’s previous film ‘1-Nenokkadine’s lengthy run-time was one of the setbacks of the film that affected the movie’s prospects. If the inside reports are to be believed, the final cut of ‘Naannaku Prematho’ has come out with 3 hours and 40 minute duration. However, the director is reportedly taking all the necessary care minimizing the run time of the movie upto 2 hours and 30 minutes to make sure no audience gets bored of due to the run time of the movie.

‘Naannaku Prematho’ is buzzed to have got 500 theaters for release and which is lesser than the expected and may it be due to heavy rush in the season of Sankranthi. On the other hand, NTR’s getup and theatricals have received great response from the movie buffs.

Rakul Preet Singh has played romantic interest of NTR in this stylish action entertainer that also have Jagapathi Babu and Rajendra Prasad in key roles. Devi Sri Prasad has composed the tunes of the movie. The movie was produced by BVSN Prasad on SVCC banner.
