Where is Vidya Balan Movie Review – 3/5

Share

After a long hiatus, actor Prince has a release. He teamed up with Burning Star Sampoornesh Babu this time around and the makers choose a safe bet – crime comedy – which has become a Box Office formula to rake in moolah. Check out our verdict to know whether the combo of Prince, Sampoo worked well or not.

Story :

Kakinada Kiran (Prince), a BTech graduate, had a rift with his father and comes out of his home to lead his life on his own. He makes his living as a pizza delivery boy where he encounters with a physician Swathi (Jyoti Sethi) and he falls for her instantly. She didn’t budge initially but she has a soft corner on him.

In between, the couple lands themselves in a high-profile murder mystery and the controversy surrounding it. Minister (Jayaprakash Reddy) and Surya Foundation hospital top doctor (Rao Ramesh) have a connection with the case and trying to frame Kiran, Swathi into the case.

What’s the connection between minister, top doctor and the murder case? Will they succeed in framing Kiran, Swathi in the case? Who’s Vidya Balan? What’s it connection to story? How did cops solve the mystery of Where is Vidya Balan?

Performances:

Actor Prince is at it again. He showcased his usual style of acting. However, newcomer Jyothi and actor Sampoornesh Babu are the showstoppers. Good actors like Jayaprakash, Rao Ramesh are confined to incomplete roles and have been wasted. The director recruited good actors but he failed to do justice to lot of them. Tagubothu Ramesh role is short yet sweet, significant.

Technicalities:

The technical aspects of the film are a bit week and they could have been better. Music is not soothing yet songs have been shot well.

Thumbs Up

  • Dialogues
  • Few Comedy scenes
  • Second half

Thumbs Down

  • Screenplay
  • First Half

Analysis:

The auteur of director Katha, Srinivas, strictly made a film that appeal to mass audiences. The crime comedy initially struggles as the first portion of the film is the stumbling block. It took a while for the director to realise and set the film straight.

Post interval, the film picks up and as the movie progresses towards end, it appeals. The comedy scenes are hilarious and they give a run for money to other crime comedies. The nuances of don Ganta (Sampoornesh Babu) tickle the funnybone and makes the film engaging.

Also, the romance between the lead pair Kiran, Swathi (Prince, Jyothi) is passable. Songs shot on the lead pair are eye candy. The twist towards the end revealed by police inspector Asish Vidayarthi is worthy. Watch it if you’re great lover of mass entertainers. For class audiences, “Where is Vidya Balan” might not be their cup of tea.

Verdict: Mass Entertainer For B,C Centers

Jagan In Jerusalem, Heart In Lotus Pond

Share

jagan5-320x295

In the times when both the Telugu states are at loggerheads in the cash for vote scandal, the YSRCP President and the leader of opposition in the AP Assembly, YS Jagan, is on a 15 day family tour to the sacred land of Jerusalem. While Jagan is busy touring the holy land, his heart seems to be stuck in Lotus Pond. Reports say that Jagan is constantly in touch with prominent leaders of his party via Skype ever since he left for Jerusalem on the 13th. The YSRCP leader will return to India on 28th June.

As per the reports, Jagan is frequently inquiring the party’s senior leaders like Botsa Satyanarayana and Vijaya Sai Reddy about the developments in the cash for vote scandal and other prominent issues in the Telugu states. Apparently, Jagan also told his party men to counter the allegations of the TDP-YSRCP friendship, following his foreign tour in a crunchy political situation.

Jagan also reportedly asked the senior leaders to gather at the Lotus Pond everyday to discuss the latest happenings. He also directed Vijaya Sai Reddy to pacify senior party leader Sujaya Krishna, who is upset over Botsa joining YSRCP. On the other hand, several party leaders are reportedly not happy with Jagan’s absence in the crucial time of cash for vote scandal and the upcoming MLC polls, in which YSRCP can counter attack TDP and gain advantage.

Meanwhile, Jagan also filed a petition in court from Jerusalem to grant him permission to go to Bangalore and spend time with his sister, brother in law and their children. The hearing in this regard has been postponed to 29th June. It is well known that Jagan’s appeal to the court to permit him from touring Bangalore has been rejected in December last year.

Special Article: A Case For Equality

BJP_women1435297526

Women have long been arguing for the implementation of the ‘women’s reservation bill’ in Parliament. Their contention is that women are as equally capable as men in holding public offices and being in government. Their claim is absolutely justified.

Women have as much ability as men if not more. If one were to look at the recent events and one year of Modi’s governance, the major source of embarrassment to the BJP have been women.

Sporting traditional Indian saris, with large bindis, Smriti Irani and Sushma Swaraj look the quintessential Indian women. Yet, their actions have seriously embarrassed the BJP government.

Then we have the super- rich Vasundhara Raje, also shaming the BJP with her act. Vasundhara gave a statement to the UK authorities on condition that it would not be revealed to India.

And then there is Pankaja Munde, Maharashtra Minister for Women and Child Welfare Development. She has been accused by the Opposition of a Rs 200 crore scam. She awarded tenders for Rs 200 crore without any auctioning at all and violating all rules.

“There were no violations of rules,” said Munde, who is currently in the US, adding that a policy for an online tendering system was not in place when she commissioned the deals.

“As minister I have taken some dynamic decisions to reduce corruption,” she said. The opposition says that on February 13, she pushed through as many as 24 contracts with vendors, including some with close links to her family.

Munde’s father, Gopinath, who died in June 2014, was one of the BJP’s most popular leaders in Maharashtra.

“I promised my father I would always do the best for my people,” she said in a statement thereby evoking emotions in the public.

And who can forget Sadhvi Prachi and the damage her remarks have been doing to the BJP? The RSS is led by bachelors and yet they magnanimously encourage women in the BJP and give them prestigious responsibilities. And look what they are doing in return. They have proved that they are as capable as men when it comes to corruption.

Therefore, the women’s reservation bill should be passed immediately without any further delay.

Shocking: Pawan caught bluffing AP people

Share

As the both states are being rocked with two major issues such as note for vote scam and the other phone tapping has made the opposition dig deeper into the flaws of both the ruling parties in both Telugu States. Taking a dig at the TDP supporter, Janasena Chief, Power Star Pawan Kalyan, the YSR Congress Leader Dwarampudi Chandrasekhar Reddy made shocking comments.

Mr. Dwarampudi said “Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan are one and the same. Both have betrayed the people of AP. Why Pawan remained mum on the corruption happening in AP? He isn’t even coming forward to question the wrongdoings of AP Government. Pawan Kalyan will know about the issues of people only if he steps out of his AC rooms.”

He further added that people are all watching out there and should know that Pawan has been bluffing without actually doing anything. He claimed that Chandrababu has become perfectionist in cheating the common people by making false promises and not implementing them properly.

Finally a Good News for Chandrababu Naidu?

Governor Narsimhan has reportedly met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today in Delhi for a crucial meeting which has reportedly lasted for more than one and half hour, according to sources. If the media reports are to be believed, there has been no clarity on his replacement as yet.

But there are few reports that this meeting has to do more with Section 8 that entails law & order powers of Hyderabad to the Governor of both states. Centre is reportedly keen that the note for vote scam now comes under this purview, as per which the case would have to proceed from now on.

Narsimhan gets an appointment with the President Finally a Good News for Chandrababu Naidu? Some of the reports also add that this may be too early to predict the outcome of talks and things would be clearer only after Narsimhan gets an appointment with the President and the Prime Minister today in the evening. Only after this the final outcome may be revealed by the Governor.

However there are some rumours doing rounds that since Section 8 is already listed in AP bifurcation act, the centre is going forward regarding the same and wants to end all future conflicts too between two states pertaining to Hyderabad for the coming nine years. So, is there is some good news in the offing for battered Naidu.

TRAGEDY: Vedam Nagayya begging on roads!

Share
vedam nagayya
Remember the actor who played the role of a poor weaver in Vedam movie. Nagayya impressed every one with his excellent acting in the movie. He almost left audience in tears with some excellent dialogues and acting. Nagayya later acted in few handful of movies but could not make a career in films.
However Nagayya is now in neck deep financial trouble. Coming from a poor back ground, Nagayya is now left on to streets with out work. He is now spotted in Filmnagar begging to make some money for living. Nagayya has a son who works as a lightman in film industry. But his meager earnings could not support the family.
Telugu film industry which boasts of being one of the biggest industries in the country can not afford work or some pension to its artists. Rajendra Prasad who recently became Movie Artistes Association President also made tall clams to giving pensions to old and poor artists. If that happened, the very talented Nagayya would not have been on roads begging.

Tiger Movie Review – 3/5

Share

Story:

Vishnu (Rahul Ravindra) and Jai (Sundeep Kishan) are two orphans who become thick friends in an orphanage. However Vishnu is not so attached to Jai as he thinks the latter is a head-ache. They get separated as vishnu gets adopted.

Later Vishnu falls in love with Ganga (Seerath Kapoor) in college. As in most love stories, Ganga’s guardian opposed their relation and take her away to Kasi. It is then, Jai comes back to the rescue of Vishnu.

Performances:

Sundeep Kishan gets limited screen space. He is impressive in a mass role with rugged attire and body language. He had developed good confidence in fights and dialogue delivery. Rahul Ravindran approaches the film with a balanced performance and managed it very well.

Seerat Kapoor could not make an impact. Kasi Vishwanath, Praveen and Tanikella Bharini are wasted in trivial roles. Comedians Thagubothu Ramesh, Chitram Seenu, Satya, Raghu and Fish Venkat are fine. Bollywood Actor Bobby Parvez appears in a little role as the heroine’s father.

Technical Performances:

Tiger has got a wafer thin story but director VI Anand did good job with some excellent narration. The best part of the film is its limited run-time in which he stuffed some youthful moments and emotional scenes. He should be admired for not stuffing a love track for Sundeep Kishan just for the sake of a commercial aspect.

Thaman’s back ground score is a big bonus for the film. Chota K Naidu is brilliant behind the camera. Dialogues are well written while fight sequences are neatly composed. Production Values are appropriate.

Plus Points:

  • Cinematography
  • Couple of Songs
  • Sundeep Kishan Comedy in Parts

Minus Points:

  • Storyline
  • Weak Villain
  • Couple of forced songs
  • Disappointing heroine

Final Say:

The first half of the film is good with youthful moments and second half is stuffed with emotional elements. If the predictable story is bearable, the movie had some good commercial elements which will entertain the audience. Try it this weekend!

Share

karan johar rajamouli

One of the country’s most happening filmmakers, Karan Johar, said that Rajamouli is India’s most talented and commercially successful filmmaker. Karan made these comments about Tollywood’s pride SS Rajamouli, before going to participate in a one to one interaction with Jakkanna at an event in Mumbai just a while ago. Karan Johar believes that Rajamouli is the best filmmaker in the country at the moment.

Not stopping with this, Karan further drenched Jakkanna with limitless praises and said that he had watched all his films and that his belief is in Rajamouli’s vision in making Baahubali a grand masterpiece. Karan further hoped that the Baahubali will be released to a thunderous opening at the box office.

Superstar Buys TV Sets For Entire Village

salman

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s softer side towards humanitarian causes and charity work is nothing new. Now, the actor has once again showed his kind side which is an unprecedented action by a Bollywood star. Apparently, Salman Khan provided the people of the Kashmiri village Pahalgam with TV sets.

Couple of months ago, Salman was in several scenic villages of Kashmir, where he shot for his upcoming film Bajrangi Bhaijaan. During the shoot, Salman mingled with the locals quite enthusiastically and melted down when he came to know that several of the poor villagers didn’t even have a TV set at home.

Moved by this, the Being Human star immediately ordered his team to purchase and install new TV sets in the homes of all villagers those without a TV at home. Salman’s staff is currently busy providing the villagers with TVs and they have already equipped majority of the villagers’ homes with brand new TV sets. Apart from this gesture, Salman was also in deep praises for the exotic scenic beauty of the Kashmir valley.

Fact: Vinayak Went To Wish Chiru’s Recovery

Share

V.V.Vinayak

As the white colour Jagauar luxury car of director VV Vinayak rushed past the security cover at Chiranjeevi’s house sometime back, gossips have started mushrooming that he is there to narrate a new story line developed by writer Chinni Krishna for the landmark 150th film. While rumours are indicating almost Puri Jagan’s drop from the project, here is yet another realistic twist to the whole happening.

Director Vinayak hasn’t narrated any new line for 150th or he wasn’t invited by Chiranjeevi to bounce one such line. While stepping down a low-height staircase at his home, accidentally Chiru has slipped and got his leg hurt. As he is recovering from the injury, Vinayak rushed to his favourite hero’s house only to wish him a speedy recovery.

As this star director is leaving to Bangkok the next night for Akhil movie’s forthcoming schedule, he made it a quick visit. We hear that even writer Chinni Krishna joined him to pay a visit to Megastar while K Raghavendra Rao is the next one to come.

Probably the idea of Vinayak taking the reins of 150th of Puri Jagan is just a figment of imagination.
