365 Days Movie Review – 2/5

Share

Ram Gopal Varma might be considered as one of the best filmmakers in India. But that’s passe now. He’s no longer making films which captivate, enchant audiences. His latest offing 365 Days too is no exception as the director yet again disappointed his fans.

Featuring Nandu and Anaika Sothi in the stellar roles, 365 Days is RGV’s first-ever full-fledged romantic film and the auteur of films like Rangeela, Satya, Sarkar in fact came out in open and admitted that he has moved out of his comfort zone – crime, horror – and making a film on romance, relationships.

Coining new genre – “Romaction” (Romance+Action) – RGV went onto rave about the film ahead of its release. But his movie opened in theatres this Friday proved that it has no match to RGV’s claims. 365 Days is another forgettable film from RGV. It won’t take much time for you to realise it. Minutes after the movie begins, you could able to agree with us.

Story :

Apoorv (Nandu) is a software employee and Shreya is happy-go-lucky girl. Both Apoorv and Shreya met in the party of a common friend. They don’t take them much time to fall for each other. Within 100 days of their meeting, they get married with the acceptance of their parents.

Here begins the film. Apoorv and Shreya soon started falling out. Shreya keep on differentiating Apoorv’s care for her “Before Marriage” and “After Marriage” much to the dismay of Apoorv. Apoorv feels annoyed with Shreya and so feels Shreya with Apoorv. The duo is at loggerheads within 150 days of their meeting (i.e 50 days after their marriage). The rest forms the RGV’s “365 Days”.

Performances:

Nandu and Anaika fit the bill. Anaika is easy on eyes. Her beauty is the only refreshing element in 365 Days. They occupy chunk of the screen time as the whole movie revolves around them. RGV recruits good cast who did justice to their roles. But the problem is none of them are engaging enough to draw attention. Actors like Posani Krishna Murali, Krishnudu, Satya Krishna are wasted. Raavi Kondala Rao, Geethanjali are confined to less-prominent roles.

Technicalities:

Unlike RGV’s previous films, 365 Days have nothing much to offer in terms of technical aspects. Either in sound or camera, RGV follows a safe path. Nag Sri Vatsa’s music is okay. Seshu KMR’s background score at few scenes put us off. Anwar Eli’s editing could have been sharper.

But it’s RGV who should be blamed for extracting mediocre output from them. Varma might have opted for a different screenplay format to narrate this romantic drama of Apoorv, Shreya. Yet it failed to make audiences stick to their seats in the theatres. Narrative becomes boring, tiring. Anil’s cinematography is blessing in disguise.

Thumbs Up:

  • Anaika Sothi
  • Cinematography

Thumbs Down:

  • Story
  • Screenplay
  • Direction

Analysis:

Ram Gopal Varma has been caught in his shell. He keeps on churning out mediocre movies or movies that sans interest. His just-released 365 Days takes RGV to new low. The movie is so loud that it’s loaded with dialogues. Dialogues keep dominating the scenes unlike other RGV’s films where scenes were subtly dealt.

One wonders whether RGV has directed the film as the movie has anything to watch out for. Well, but the “frightening” background score at the time of Apoorv tying the knot with Shreya confirms that it’s Ram Gopal Varma movie.

Wafer-thin plot is the biggest shortcoming of 365 Days. Forced dialogues put you off. Irrelevant songs and their placement not just abrupts the story narrative but make you search for the nearest exit in theatre.

Beyond a point, it all feels empty as none of the characters are developed enough for you to care. On whole, RGV’s 365 Days should be missed. With 365 Days, RGV has given a golden chance to Bombay Velvet maker Anurag Kashyap to fulfill his sweet revenge on him.

Verdict: RGV Fails Again

Telugu Actress Victimised For Second Time

Share

bindhu

For young heroine Bindhu Madhavi, series of Tamil films in hand are keeping her busy but these rumours that are popping out her in her homeland are turning scary. For the second time, she got victimised for the same news, a case of mistaken identity.

Earlier when senior actor Bindhu Madhavi was hospitalised, news headlines have publicised as if our young seductress Bindhu Madhavi got hurt. Crying foul for the happenings, our Avakai Biryani girl immediately issued a clarity that she is very much hale and healthy. Unfortunately that senior Bindhu Madhavi who was admitted to hospital has breathed her last the other day.

Sensation hungry news channels once again publicised that heroine Bindhu Madhavi is no more. This is the second time our Rayalaseema girl is victimised this way. “I’m fine and happy. An actress of same name has breathed her last and that brought confusion again”, said Bindhu, clearing the air.

Meanwhile, Senior actress Bindhu Madhavi is a character artist with films like Sagara Sangamam, Arvind 2 and Daruvu in her kitty, while TV soap operas like Jabilamma and Amma Na Kodala made her popular. The other she succumbed to Kidney failure at her hometown Ongole. We express deep condolences to her family.

Chennai beauty Regina Cassandra is popular in film circles as a Mega family heroine. The actress teamed up with Allu Sirish for Kotha Janta and then with Sai Dharam Tej in Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham and the upcoming Subramanyam For Sale in Harish Shankar’s direction. The dimple beauty also sizzled beside Stylish Star Allu Arjun in the Olx ad.

Now, confirmed sources say that the actress will now be teaming up with Manchu Vishnu for a romantic action entertainer. The film will be directed by debutant Hanuman and Rajasekhar, who is currently producing Aadi’s Garam, will be producing the film. Sources also say that the regular shooting will begin in the last week of June.

Earlier, the makers had approached hot and happening Delhi beauty Raashi Khanna to play the lead role. However, the Jil star decided not to be a part of the project for unknown reasons. Apparently, even Regina took her own sweet time to give her nod to the film. After she had signed to back to back films in Tamil, Regina has slowed down in Telugu. Will she make a strong comeback with this flick?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in legal trouble as a case has been booked against him for his alleged “insulting” remark on India. An RTI activist, Sandeep Shukla, filed a case against Modi in the court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Meena Shrivastava, alleging that Modi had hurt the sentiments of Indians.

During his visit to Seoul few days ago, Narendra Modi had commented that people in India earlier used to think that they have born in India because of some “sin” committed in their past life.

Complainant Sandeep Shukla has submitted a video clip of Modi’s speech to the court as a piece of evidence. The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Meena Shrivastava has fixed the date June 10 for hearing the case.

‘Those People Are Thieves, Not Producers’ – Mohan Babu

If there is a mistake brewing some where and if that falls in the eye of Mohan Babu, what happens? He never minces words and takes a step back in condemning it. With the kind of recent happenings that are going in Telugu Film Industry in connection with Big producers and others, the Manchu scion today blasted them all without taking any name.

Those people who are borrowing money from financiers and splurging it to make big movies are finally not repaying the debt. They are not ‘big’ producers, they are thieves. How can we cheat someone of their money?“, ask Mohan Babu, hitting straight on the head. “True producers are no more, they have passed away. Some directors are cheating producers with their half-baked stories.

Film industry will be blossoming only if small-producers are alive. I’m also one among them“, he insists. Mohan Babu confirmed that he and his kin never failed to repay remuneration to cast and crew or financiers. “This is not a self promotion, but I want to say that we’ve never cheated anyone. We’re the true producers“, he said.

I challenge anyone as a villain-

“I always do feel that there is no competition for me as a villain in terms of presenting different modulations of dialogue deliver“, asserted Mohanbabu. He elaborates further, “If an actor utters dialogues the same way in every movie, then its meaningless. Villain means anti-hero, but not a negative person in real life“.

If hero does everything, then there’s no use. It’s a teamwork of all the comedians and villain around but not one man’s show“, said Mohan Babu, sharing his thoughts about the kind of actors we have in Tollywood now.

Who died miserable death, NTR or YSR?

ntr

No matter what kind of person he/she is and any rivalry, always after death no one speaks ill of any person and in case they are die hard rivals, they simply ignore them. But fans of YSR in Telugu states and many YSRCP leaders are upset over how every time TDP leaders describe YSR’s death as ‘Kukka Chavu’ meaning dog’s death.

Time and again, TDP leaders have been calling this because they say YSR stage managed corruption deals like never before and he deserves such a death. Beyond an extent, this constant accusations even nearly six years of his death is not going well with soft leaders of TDP as well.

To counter this, there has been a wide spread campaign on social media whether it was YSR or actually NTR who died such a death? YSR’s fans say having close to a dozen children, numerous properties and everything, he died alone suffering from back stabbing drama by his own leaders.

They say that YSR passed away while he was travelling for a welfare programme called Racha banda and millions of his fans and family bid tearful farewell to him where as suitcases with cash left his home before announcement of his death the early morning next day. Neutral fans have called for an end to this clash over deaths!

Kavitha’s Hopes Dashed?

Share

telangana-kavitha

All of Kalavakuntla Kavitha’s performance in Parliament in the hope of getting a place in the Union Cabinet might have been in vain.

Sources in the BJP indicate that there is absolutely no question of the BJP inviting TRS for an alliance.

At the national executive meeting of the Party in Bangalore recently, Modi made it clear that the BJP will not sever its ties with TDP in AP. But the Party apparently feels that it can create a significant base for itself in Telangana at the expense of the TRS.

“We shall fight it alone in Telangana and the GHMC elections are our first priority. We want to expand our Party in Hyderabad first and then in the rest of the State,” said a BJP politician.

Telangana is one of the seven states identified by the BJP for emerging as a strong player.

“We are not attacking the TRS yet for the time is not right. They still have people’s sympathy. But we shall soon take them on,” he added.

Now what impact this will have on ‘Swacch Bharat’ which has been adopted in a big way by the TRS remains to be seen. As for Kavitha, will she continue to stand up for the Kashmiri Pandits?

Share

RGV

Our readers are aware that Ram Gopal Varma’s 365 days received clean U certificate becoming the first ever ‘Universally Watchable’ film of RGV in his two decade long career. However the Certificate may have been obtained from wrong route.

365 days released on Friday and people who watched the film could not understand how the film managed to get U certificate. There is one erotic song shot on the heroine Anaika Soti which is enough to get A certificate or U/A at least.

People who watched the film says the U certificate may have been bought by Ram Gopal Varma. Film Censoring process has become relatively easy for Telugu films after the exit of former Regional Censor Board Officer Dhana Lakshmi.

Puri Jagannadh’s directorial, Jyothi Lakshmi starring Charmi is creating good interest in the trade. As the film is coming from the stable of a star director like Puri, distributors are quoting good amounts. For an instance, the movie was bought for a whopping 1 Crore in Uttarandhra.

IPL Players ‘Friendly Time’ With Girls In Rooms

Ever since the country’s biggest sporting event, IPL, was commenced 8 years ago, several match fixing allegations and sex scandals have been maligning its reputation of being a wholesome entertainment sporting event. Now, fresh sex scandals during the 2014 season have been unearthed and the news is creating a storm, with the grand finale just one day away.

As per the fresh probe, two Chennai Super Kings (CSK) players were found having a ‘friendly time’ with a few girls all through the night  in their hotel rooms during the 2014 IPL. When one of these CSK players was questioned, he replied that the lady is a close acquaintance and that they both will tie the knot very soon. Interestingly, the same lady was earlier spotted moving closely with Sreesanth and several other IPL players.

Following the dark clouds being cast on IPL 2013 due to the match fixing allegations, the court had appointed cricketing legend Sunil Gavaskar to oversee the IPL 2014. Sunil had set up numerous anti-corruption teams to prevent any discrepancies and the last season was declared foolproof. However, BCCI’s anti-corruption squad had noticed the players moving closely with women and agents.

It has been a common practice during IPL that the franchisee owners throw lavish parties on most nights that include the players and many female guests. Prominent franchisees like CSK, KKR and DD have been found violating the IPL norms and when contacted, they were unavailable for a clarification.
