And They Have Done It For Shivam
When Ram’s Friday release Shivam hit the screens, critics and audiences gave it a collective thumbs down especially its excessive runtime. With an unbelievable length of 168 minutes, Shivam team indeed took a great risk and bore the brunt, with the talk getting more and more disappointing with each show. Noticing this restlessness among audiences, Shivam team has finally done the salvage act.
As per the latest reports, Shivam has been trimmed by nearly 20 minutes and the makers edited out all the unnecessary scenes that were causing a huge hindrance to the film’s smooth narrative flow. The shortened version has been playing already and apparently, the response has been a bit encouraging from the audiences. But whether this latest move will help the film’s prospects will be understood by Monday.
As of Tollywood, unlike it’s a highly special film viewing experience like Baahubali or a film that has a strong content like Srimanthudu, it has become a risky proposition for filmmakers to exceed anywhere beyond 140-145 minutes. The same was noticed with Kick 2. Even though the makers shortened Kick 2 by 20 minutes, it did not help the matters. Let’s hope Shivam manages to reach to the shore.
Sadism At Peaks: Congress Cadres’ Shocking Welcome To PCC Chief
What a large group of overtly enthusiastic and highly insensitive Congress cadres have done to welcome the PCC Chief Raghuveera Reddy to Wadapalli village near Kovvur in West Godavari will leave everyone shell-shocked. Just as Raguveera entered their village this afternoon, these cadres showed their sadism by tying pigeons to rockets (Tarajuvva), lit the fire and set them into the sky, as a grand welcome for Raghuveera Reddy.
The pigeons are stuffed inside a cone shaped cage at the end of the rocket, and when these rockets shoot up to several hundred meters in the midair, they burst with a loud noise and set the pigeons fluttering. Soon after the rockets were burst, the pigeons were seen crashing onto the ground, bleeding and severely wounded, apart from getting suffocated in the cage and petrified with the loud noise of the cracker burst.
What’s even more shocking is that this barbaric act took place right in front of the former Congress minister and the current PCC Chief, Raghuveera Reddy, who shocking did not stop these men from severely violating animal rights. There has been a severe outrage in the media and among the animal rights groups, blasting these sadists of their heartless act.
Now, Temple For Chandrababu In Amaravati
So far, we have been hearing about farmers’ protests against the AP CM Nara Chandrababu Naidu in the capital region against land pooling. But, here’s the other side of the story. A large group of farmers from the Uddandarayuni Palem village in Tullur Mandal in Guntur have decided to build a temple for Chandrababu Naidu.
As per the reports, the farmers are all set to carry out the foundation stone laying ceremony on the 22nd of October, the same day when the foundation will be laid for the AP capital Amaravati. Already, the farmers have been collecting funds for the temple and also to carry out other logistics. Reportedly, several state ministers are expected to attend the foundation stone laying ceremony,
Speaking about their decision to build the temple, the farmers said they are extremely thankful to Chandrababu for making their village the capital of Andhra Pradesh and that they worship Chandrababu next to god. The Tullur Mandal, after becoming the main centre of Amaravati, the land rates and the realty sector have witnessed sea growth, making many villagers and even farmers wealthy.
It’s Ram Charan Who Spoiled The Show!!
Megastar Chiranjeevi confirmed, “I’ve actually said them (Charan and Vaitla) that my 150th film is anyway coming, but why this cameo is for. But they have convinced me saying it will be a teaser to my 150th film, like a glimpse of how I’m actually going to look in 150th film”, as he spoke at “Bruce Lee” audio launch the other day.
Well, when mega confirms are worried if “Bruce Lee” would become the 150th film, technically, Chiranjeevi’s clarity gave a spot light what would have happened backstage. As mega fans are waiting from long time worried about the return of Boss to silver screen, Charan would have used this opportunity to showcase Chiru once before he really turns up with 150th film.
That’s good move. But if anyone is feeling that the number ‘150’ is the major thing here, then we have to say it’s Ram Charan who spoiled the show by convincing Chiranjeevi to act in his film.
On the other hand, whether it is 150 or 151st film, Chiranjeevi’s return itself is going to be a terrific moment. So, what’s there in a number!!
Pic Talk: Parineeti Shows Off Stunning Curves
Dressed in black lingerie that glimpses her voluptuous curves which tease her beauty lovers to no limits, young and hot Bollywood buxom beauty Parineeti Chopra kills it with her intense look that pierces the male hearts, while lying in couch.
The demure beauty used to be slightly on the plump side until a couple of months ago, but is now all slimmed down and looks ravishingly sensuous with her sultry figure. The actress, who missed out on romancing Naga Chaitanya in Premam remake, has a couple of crazy Bollywood projects lined up.
Buzz: Devi Sri Prasad, The Most Hurt
Recent happenings at box office have upset on talented technician mostly. He’s none other than super talented Devi Sri Prasad, who is a noted name among composers across India though his work is limited to Telugu and Tamil tinsel towns all the time.
For three back to back failures in a week span, DSP is said to be little hurt. Sharing his thoughts with some media friends off the record, he revealed how much upset he’s with the failure of “Puli” movie. The film is criticised for its poor content and amateurish graphics, while the story is nothing but a regular revenge drama.
Even DSP’s songs and background scored will not save it, while they are also not upto the mark. At the same time, yesterday’s release “Shivam” has three good songs scored by Devi, but the film is likely to end up as a disaster.
Coming to the third one, DSP has remixed ‘Aakaleste Annam Pedata’ song for Bollywood recently, which is reprised as “Daddy Mummy..” in the movie “Bhaag Jhonny”. This film released last week and sank without a trace. With three disasters to his credit in no time, yes, he’s little hurt.
If Not Baahubali, 83 Crores Is Minimum
Any commercial hero, including Mahesh Babu, always says that numbers don’t bother them much and ranks and collections are not in their vicinity at all. But on a frank note, any star will be making films only for spinning money for their producers and numbers will definitely matters. Hits and records too matter, because it’s the ‘records’ of previous films that matter for business of next film of any hero.
“Baahubali” has changed the game forever in Telugu Film Industry as it stood unmovable at the top place for any normal cinema. Only someone has to attempt something on that scale to crash and crush the records of this Rajamouli’s magnum opus.
So, if someone is eyeing on second place then Mahesh Babu is there with “Srimanthudu”. Trade pundits revealed that final figures of this film are around 83.3 crores ‘share’ from worldwide box office.
Any film that gets a ‘share’ more than “Srimanthudu” will be the new record breaker and if anyone crosses 270+ crores (Baahubali’s international version is still releasing), then they will become record maker. To Sum up, to break or maker records, 83 crores is the minimum target.
Kalyan Ram’s 7-Star Hotel Sentiment
Unfazed by the flop show of “Kick 2” at box office, Nandamuri Kalyan Ram has now got ready to hit cinemas with his next film. And for that flick, he’s repeating all the possible sentiments to make it a stupendous hit at box office.
Before leaving for Spain to take part in the next schedule of “Naannaku Prematho”, which is likely to start from October 20th, Jr NTR would like to attend for this audio launch as it happens to become a sentiment for Nandamuri brothers to grace each other’s audio functions.
Another sentiment is that “Pataas” audio is launched at Park Hyatt hotel in Hyderabad, which happens to be a leading 7-star hotel in the city. At the same venue, “Sher” audio will be launched on October 10th and only few top fan leaders will be invited for the event.
Directed by Mallikarjun (Kathi fame), “Sher” has Sonal Chauhan in the lead and SS Thaman gave music. Hope all sentiments work in favour of Kalyan Ram now.
