Music Director Anil- It's An Accidental Murder


Ever since the death of music director Anil Reddy, his soul must be getting tormented with the way his body is being dissected. Well, news is that one more post mortem has happened. Meanwhile, his fiancĂ©e is reportedly absconding. Now, another speculation has begun to make rounds from close sources of the girl’s family.

They say it is not a deliberate murder but accidental. Small tiff may have happened between Anil and the girl’s family members. Some small argument must have gone haywire. The girl is reportedly still in shock and is absconding as she is not in a position to take the questions from media or others.

Well, the truth will be known once forensic report comes today or tomorrow (3rd postmortem result). But the closest that one can get is, Anil’s death could be the result of an accidental murder but the girl’s side is trying to project it like a natural death. Let us hope this is the final post mortem which will reveal the truth.

Annayya Gets Thammudu's Wishes


Akkineni family’s third generation has entered cinema industry. Sumanth, Sushant and now Naga Chaitanya has got the tag of chocolate boy. From a lover boy’s image, Chaitu is arriving to rock the mass audience with his ‘Dhada’ today.

In this situation, ‘Sisindri’ Akhil has wished his Annayya all the best. Akkineni fans reveal that soon Akhil also will be making his debut in film industry. He has been showing a lot of interest in films these days. Meanwhile, many say ‘Dhada’ will be a festival for Akkineni fans. Akhil also gave his best wishes to hero Ram and his ‘Kandireega’ which is releasing in one day’s gap.

While Akhil is confident about success, Naga Chaitanya is busy urging all to curb piracy.

RR Venkat- 'Bhola Shankar' Or 'Lord Venkat'?!!

The first name that comes to the mind in filmnagar folks when asked about the top banner, it is R R Movie Makers. While they are expanding their presence in film production, they have now entered into film distribution as well. But then, their take off has been a disaster.

R R Movie Makers came up with their debut distribution venture ‘Dhada’. Now, the box office experts are saying “They should have been careful before lifting this film. It may not matter to them in terms of money but if they continue taking up such films, their banner value will come down.”

They added “It is not a big deal for them to take those risks but when industry folks get a feel that R R Movie Makers is ready to lift any ‘Cheththa’, they will not show in interest in making quality films and come up with poor quality flicks. For all, the R R banner is like Tirumala of Tollywood. It must have its aura not like Bhola Sankar.”

As for Venkat, the owner of R R Movies banner, the folks say ” He must be like Venkateshwara Swamy, his name is Venkat but his heart is like Shiva, he should give blessings only to those who are good with films and not to everyone. That way, his image and credibility will also be maintained.” Wonder what Venkat will do to make amends.

Chandrababu's Worries On Mokshagnya


As if the existing political conditions in the state and his own party are not enough, it is heard that Chandrababu Naidu has now got another worry. This is in the form of Mokshagnya, son of Nandamuri Balakrishna. Well, sources reveal Naidu has already started to get worried about him.

With the likes of Allu Arjun, Ramcharan going in for other caste girls, Naidu is reportedly tense whether Mokshagnya will also marry someone from different caste. As such, he personally supervised Junior NTR’s marriage. So, the chances are high that he would be looking into the matters of Mokshagnya as well.

Naidu’s close sources reveal he has been thinking on angles like What are the political setbacks? What will happen if Mokshagnya merges with another community through marriage etc. But the political experts say “Today, all castes should come together for a party, only then success is happening in politics. If Chandrababu sticks only to Kamma philosophy, he cannot win anything. Already, TDP and Nandamuri brands have developed the reputation of a Kamma forte. It is about time Babu thinks on more urbane levels.”

Sundeep Is All Set To Shake His Booty


Item songs are the latest fad in the Indian cine circuit. Usually, it is the top league heroines or glamorous bombshells who create the spice. But now, the time has come for the men to make their mark as well. Soon, a Bollywood hero would be gearing up to groove for a Telugu item song.

This is for the film ‘It’s My Love story’ and the man in focus is Sundeep Kishan who made a mark for himself in Bollywood with the film ‘Shor In The City’. Speaking about his song in the film, director Madhura Sreedhar said “Sundeep is brilliant actor and has got huge craze in youth with Snehageetham, Prasthanam and Shor In The City.”

He added “Sundeep is always ready to experiment and do something new. Doing item numbers is almost new in Tollywood and Sundeep is my first choice for the item number. Thanks to Sundeep for accepting. I am introducing a hot girl from Mumbai opposite him”.

Sources say the opening line of the song goes ‘Gallate..galllate…’ and the highlight is, it is a mix of Telugu, Hindi and Tamil lyrics and it is a situational item song.

Manchu Lakshmi's 'Red Eye' On Bandhs


The recent spate of bandhs seems to have irked the darling daughter of Mohan Babu, Manchu Lakshmi Prasanna and she is expressing her displeasure openly.
Her question is ‘What is the benefit of these bandhs?’. One can recall how the Manchu family breathed fire on the Telangana agitators in the past.

She has reportedly conveyed her frustration by saying “I have lived outside the country for ten years. Even then, I didn’t face any difficulty. But now, in my country, in my own state, I am facing some serious difficulties. Please let me do my work or else the consequences will be severe.”

Already, the Manchu family has tasted the brunt of the T-seekers and revealing their anger in the same way. Wonder what will happen once the T-folks get a whiff of this.

Sunil's Office- A 'Secret Den' In Film Nagar


Comedian Sunil has now graduated to a hero and has made his own mark. However, that has not fazed him to throw his arms around.
Here is an example for that. Most of you may not know but then Sunil has got his own office close to NTR’s office near the filmnagar main road.

A film nagar source revealed “Not many know that it is Sunil’s office except his close friends. In the ground floor, there is office and first floor, there is dance floor. It is filled with mirrors and fitted with AC. Usually, Sunil practices his dance here and it is also given for outsiders for their dance activity.”

The source added “Not many know that Sunil comes and sits here. When he is not shooting, calmly his car comes and he will go inside. Well, he believes that if people start getting to know of this place, they will start visiting and want to indulge in some or the ‘other activities’. Sunil is a family man, very rarely does he come out for night parties also. He is happy with his family and returns home like a bank employee after work. That’s why he doesn’t want to make noise about it.”

Pregnancy News Of Lakshmi Pranathi And Sneha Arjun


In India, it is not just the stars but also their wives who hold a special celebrity status in society. And this is more in the southern circuit. Right now, two names are in focus and many are waiting to hear something about them. They are Lakshmi Pranathi, wife of NTR Junior and Sneha Arjun, wife of Allu Arjun.

A cine member revealed “Aishwarya got pregnant, Lara Dutta also got pregnant. Now, it is the turn of the south star wives Lakshmi and Sneha. Many are waiting to see when they would come up with a similar statement. Focus is on whether they are going to any hospitals or visiting doctors or doctors are visiting their homes.”

Though it is purely their personal thing and no one has any say, many Jr NTR and Bunny fans say this news will bring them a lot of cheer. Let us hope we hear some good news about them soon.

'Sonia Has Secret Swiss Account'


Known for his controversial statements, the CPI leader K Narayana has made a sensational claim that the Congress President Sonia Gandhi has been maintaining secret accounts in Swiss banks.
Nobody knows about the source of Narayana’s information but he asserted that former Prime Minister late Rajiv Gandhi had accounts in Swiss banks. “Sonia Gandhi is operating these accounts now,” the state CPI Secretary said.
Narayana’s remarks come against the backdrop of the ongoing campaign against the corruption in high places and the growing demand for bringing back the black money stashed away in secret accounts in tax havens abroad.
Meanwhile, the communist leader demanded that the all the ministers in the YSR cabinet must be examined in connection with the ongoing CBI probe into the assets of YSR Congress Party President Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy.
He went a step further and said the former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu should also be included in the probe as far as land allotments for Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and other industrial projects.

Charmy Gives Shock Marrying Bollywood Actor?


More than making news for her performance or hits at the box office, actress Charmy has been hitting the headlines for other reasons. Most of the time, it has to do with her linkups. Now, another update has arrived from Mumbai and it appears that Charmy may be becoming a housebreaker.

Well, news is that Charmy is developing a bond with Sonu Sood. It is heard that she got further close to him after the recent release ‘Bbuddah…Hoga Terra Baap’. As such, Sonu and Charmy are Punjabis. But then Sonu is married and his wife’s name is Sonali.

On the other hand, Charmy has been linked up strongly with music director Devi Sri Prasad. But then, the Bollywood folks have their theory. They say that if Nayantara came from Kerala to put fire in Prabhu Deva’s family in Chennai, this Punjabi girl will put fire to Sonu Sood’s family. They quote the examples of Sridevi and Boney Kapoor as well.

Though the grapevine is very strong, not all you see is true, that is a fact not many realize. So, the chances are very high that this speculation is wrong. The coming days will give more clarity.

13 Christians Converting To Hinduism

When it comes to fan frenzy and star worship, not many can beat the Tamils. Be it the culture of constructing a temple for heroines. Breaking thousand coconuts, doing ‘Jaagaarams’ near temple, visiting holy places etc just to ensure that their favourite hero’s film scores a hit are some of the examples which show their devotion. Now, a similar devotion has been shown by a group and this time, it is for a heroine.

She is none other than Nayantara and now it is heard that about thirteen hardcore fans of Nayan have gone ahead and taken Hinduism. The reason, Nayan has converted to Hinduism. A staff member of the Chennai diocese leaked out this information which has caused quite a stir.

The person revealed “These are regular visitors to the St Thomas Syrian Catholic Church in Padi. Not sure when it happened but we got news that these thirteen have converted to Hinduism following their favorite actress’s footsteps.”

Few analysts on religion said “Usually Hindus tend to get influenced to convert into Christianity. But with the Nayan effect, the Christians are turning into Hindus. This goes to show that irrespective of her activities and controversies, there are some blind fans who love to walk in her footsteps.”

Strange Friendships Of Young Tollywood Heroes!!


Just recently the friendship day has passed by and it is often heard from the young brigade of the Tollywood heroes as to how they gel well with each other and love to hang out. While that sounds like a good thought, here is something interesting which happened recently and raised the eyebrows of many.

On the eve of friendship day, Daggubati Rana was asked as to who his dearest friend was. Without a second thought, he said it was Ramcharan and went on and on about him. He was also speaking enthusiastically about the good times both have.
Now, the same question was posed to Ramcharan Tej after that. It is heard that Cherry in his style revealed that cousin Allu Arjun being his dearest friend. He took a step ahead and vouched that Bunny was his soulmate.

In all this, not one word was spoken about Rana. The final touch is, when the same question was posed to Naga Chaitanya, the Yuva Samrat mentioned that it was Daggubati Rana. So, each hero gave a separate name and none of them found common friendship.

This has got many to wonder as to how credible are their statements about friendship with each other. Do they hang out purely because of their backgrounds? Or is it to keep track of each other since all of them are competitors in one way? Whatever it may be, the answers sure puzzled many and many were wondering what answer would have come if NTR Junior was asked this question.

'Sri Rama Rajyam' Songs- Ilayaraja Lost His Mark?


The first piece of audio for the movie ‘Sri Rama Rajyam’ has been released on net and many eager fans of maestro Ilayaraja grabbed it with excitement.
However, it appears that the excitement has vaporized in no time. Well, most of them feel that the Ilayaraja mark is missing in them.

After hearing the two tracks, many are saying “Ilayaraja’s orchestration is unique, the tracks are good in devotional aspects but they are not upto the mark of Ilayaraja. Normally, the makers tend to release the best in what they have. So, if this is their best then we can imagine how the rest will be.”

On the other hand, there are those who say “The point is, there is nothing bad or poor about the songs. The only thing is, the exclusive trademark of Ilayaraja is missing which usually has a soul. Maybe it is too early for us to judge or maybe they have released these tracks in haste.” The real result will be known once the album is out.

'Aditya 369' In Tamil With Surya


It needs no introduction on the impact the film ‘Aditya 369’ created when it hit the screens. In a way, it was more of a cult classic given the genre and the subject. Now, it appears that the film has been taken as inspiration and arriving in Tamil with attractive packaging and big names attached to it.

Well, we are talking about the Tamil film ‘Ezhaam Arivu’ (7 am Arivu) starring Suriya and Shruti Haasan. This is directed by A R Murugadoss. Sources from Chennai reveal the story is about a scientist (played by Shruti) who develops a time machine and how the ancient history and culture of Tamil is discovered and restored from the baddies.

Meanwhile, Suriya would be seen in three roles as a fighting monk, circus artist and a scientist. By the looks of it, the film has a good flavor of ‘Aditya 369’ in it. What remains to be seen is whether today’s audience will give it the same reception like it was given few years back.

Puri-Chiru Film Based On A Super Hit Novel


With each passing day, the talk is getting stronger that megastar Chiranjeevi’s 150th film is very likely to happen. Added to this, the buzz is that it will be Puri Jagannadh who would be handling this prestigious venture. Now, here is one more update which is adding fuel to the fire.

It is heard that the story of Puri-Chiru movie will be adapted from a novel which became famous in 90s. Many are speaking about it but they are not sure which novel that is. It is heard that during that time, many from different languages wanted to make it into a film but that didn’t happen due to certain reasons.

Now Puri wants to do it and he has reportedly consulted with the writer of the novel and is shaping up a script accordingly. Despite several efforts, the name of the writer is not being revealed and it is kept in tight wraps.

Buzz is that after doing this film, Chiru need not do any other film. That’s the impact of this story and even there is a period backdrop mixed with spirituality, politics, practicality, science. This should be interesting.

Daggubati Rana's Love With Airhostess?


There are two things that Daggubati Rana is famous for- his family legacy and his popularity among girls. While strong rumours often keep making rounds about Rana’s encounters with beautiful heroines and girls, here is a new update which is slowly taking some serious shape of discussion.

Apparently, Rana has been travelling frequently between Hyderabad and Mumbai. He loves to travel through Kingfisher Airlines. Now, the buzz is that Rana has met an airhostess of the Kingfisher airlines and has been smitten by her.

Friends of Rana reveal “Rana is very sane. He checked her background profile even before he got close to her since his father would not entertain those without money or status. It is only pure passion towards the aviation industry that brought this girl to the job. Otherwise, she is very wealthy.”

However, it is yet to be known who that mystery girl is. As such, Rana is the only eligible bachelor available of family legacy in Tollywood. So, if the Kingfisher escapade is true then it may not be long before Rana’s flight will have his wheels tied.

She needs no introduction. This 36 year old married beauty is posing this way covering her body under a white bed sheet making the dreams of onlookers wild and erotic. She was married couple of years ago but still holds ample celebrity image. She turned internationally famous with her ‘Big Brother’ show and also with her yoga CDs!!

Salman: The man with a golden heart


Yup!! Anyone in this world, who is familiar with Bollywood knows it. But folks we all love this lion hearted gentlemen who has always kept his promise like a real man. The latest in Salman's good deed story is the macho man of bollywood donated over a lakh bricks to help construct a new wing for a Gurudwara in Patiala'.
It happened during the shooting of 'Bodyguard' at Commando Training School in Patiala. B-town's most current most favourite Salman was approached by a granthi (prayer reader) from the nearby Shri Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib gurudwara to help in reconstructing its new wing.
Salman's brother-in-law and the producer of the film Atul Aghnihotri shares about the incident, he says, "Around the commando Training School where we shot, people have strong faith in the gururdwara. So all of us, including Salman, visited the holy spot on the first day, and went back to seek blessing on the last day."
Atul explained that the granthi has asked if they wanted to do 'kar seva' (service) since the gurudwara authorities planed to construct community rooms for worshipers. He adds, "So all of us, including Salman decided to donate one lakh bricks to construct the rooms."

No similarities in 'Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande' & 'Khosla Ka Ghosla' - Parvin Dabas


Parvin Dabas has seen maximum recognition come his way through films like 'Monsoon Wedding' and 'Khosla Ka Ghosla'. However the Delhi man insists that his debut directorial outing 'Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande' has nothing to do with the Dibakar Banerjee comedy/social satire that caught everyone's attention when released five years ago.
"Perhaps some people are trying to draw parallels because both films deal with the life of a common man, are set in and around Delhi and has some actors which are common to both films. Well, this could be the case with so many films and it is just a coincidence that my new film has some elements in common with 'Khosla Ka Ghosla'. But no, it wasn't a conscious decision at all," says Parvin whose wife Preeti Jhangiani is producing 'Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande'.
The film is about a gang comprising of four friends - Parvin Dabas, Vansh Bharadwaj (seen earlier in Preity Zinta's Videsh - Heaven on Earth), Ashish Nayyar and Kuldip Ruhil who are given a job which would give them enough money to make all their dreams come true. However to achieve that they are required to go against their conscience and the village to which they belong.
Starring Anupam Kher, Kiran Juneja, Sharat Saxena and Yashpal Sharma in other principal roles, 'Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande' releases on 19th August.

An impressed Mani Ratnam


Mani Ratnam doesn't appreciate all films. But when he does it, there will be a point behind it and he means it from his heart. The ace director of Indian cinema on Friday heaped rich laurels on Bollywood movie 'Peepli Live'.
He was speaking at the 14th Gollapudi Srinivas National Award function in Chennai, where the director of 'Peepli Live', Anusha Rizvi, was presented with the coveted honour.
Mani Ratnam, who was the Chief Guest of the event, described 'Peepli Live' as a touching film and an honest attempt that had impressed him. The top filmmaker compared making one's first movie to falling in love as the multitude of emotions involved is similar.
Delving the acceptance address, Anusha Rizvi said, "I believe it will be an achievement if people remember my film after five years. And today is one year since I did Peepli Live. I'm honoured to receive an award for it."
Anusha was selected as Best Debut Director for 2010 from a total of 16 nominations. 

Bollywood & its Indian spiri


It's time when Indians come together to celebrate the spirit of India's Independence. While 64 years has been passed since the historical event, India has been evolved greatly and the outlook of her people has changed significantly. Similarly the essence of the word 'Independence' has got different shades and Indians perceive it in various angles. Although we got freedom from British, we are bonded by several self-created problems and social elements and one which is most dreaded criminal is the CORRUPTION.
With a view to bring in this year's Independence Day, IndiaGlitz takes a look at those movies which not exactly celebrates the patriotic day but it speaks a lot about contemporary India, today's generation and also highlights the plights of aam aadmi, aam junta.
A Wednesday - A common man's attempt to teach the government a lesson by taking rules in his own hands.
Nayak - Where a common man brings revolution in the system. In fact, if one takes in the current scenario, every city needs a person who can stand up to fight the corruption.
Chala Mussadi Office Office - Highlights the common problem of a common man.
Swades - A man's realisation of his love for his motherland, fellow beings...
Rang De Basanti - A list is in complete without the mention of this Rakesh Omprakash Mehra's movie. It ignites the very spirit of oneness and awakening. As the movie's tagline goes - A Generation Awakens.
Lakshya - A typical urban youth at certain point of time realises his responsibility towards life, people and country.
My Name Is Khan - It teaches a valuable lesson - There are only two kinds of people: one good and other bad; but there is nothing like Hindu, Muslims, Christians and so on.
A movie which brings all people under one roof, erasing the religion differences.
Peepli Live - Relevant to real life, the movie highlights the plight of Indian farmers in a comic way. It aptly conveys that a serious matter can be blown out of proportion with media hype, but at the end of day the issue would not be solved.
.....the list is incomplete. There are many more such movies which make one think about their country and countrymen. Some movies which touch the heart and stirs the mind. Tell us your choice of film which has made you ponder; those which made you feel that we belong to 'India' and we have to do something for it....

Aarakshan Movie Review

Aarakshan - Seems like two different films



Ascurtains come down for the film, you end up wondering whether 'Aarakshan' was indeed about reservation. Or was it about caste system? Or was it about capitation fees? Or was it about coaching centres blooming across the country? Or was it about commercialisation of education? Or was it eventually about the saga of 'kisme kitna hai dum'? Now it's sad to have such questions cropping up since as a subject and genre, this was just the kind of territory that one expects Prakash Jha to excel in film after film.
A film that does make a pro-reservation statement though in a subtle rather than overtly explicit manner, 'Aarakshan' - at least in the beginning - turns out to be the kind of drama that one had always expected from it. Amitabh Bachchan sticking to his principles, his decisions leading to his rift with not just his students like Saif Ali Khan and Prateik but also his own daughter (Deepika Padukone), his junior turned rival (Manoj Bajpai) surpassing him to gain hold over the top post, the troubles that he faces post that - all of this makes for an arresting viewing.
Still, the very first.15 minutes seem to be scattered all over the places and though 'Raajneeti' too had a similar start where character introduction took it's own time, it was far more entertaining for sure. Here in case of 'Aarakshan', there are two songs that arrive almost back to back that threaten to kill the momentum that was finally building up. Just when one tends to get a tad impatient, the Supreme Court announcement around added quota for OBC perks up the drama in a big way. For the first time in the movie, one sees vintage Prakash Jha at work as several powerhouse scenes come one after another, hence leading to enhanced entertainment. Especially notable are the scenes between Amitabh Bachchan and Manoj Bajpai that stay on to be the best of the lot.
However in this entire drama just when one would have expected Saif Ali Khan to contribute more, he disappears from the scene hence resulting in a vacuum. Also the moment focus shifts from 'reservation' to 'coaching centres', not just the drama fizzle down but the sheer seriousness of the entire movie watching experience also doesn't hold similar weight as the first half.
Last 20 odd minutes take the film further downhill and though the idea is to get a sense of euphoria on screen, that doesn't quite happen. Amidst all of this, the man who stands tall is, as expected, Amitabh Bachchan. He is tremendous in his performance, especially when he is an all powerful man while occupying the chair of authority. Of course his body language turns feeble once he is deprived of his powers, which means he isn't allowed similar heavy duty dialogue baazi as heard earlier. The man who gives 'karaara jawaab' at quite afew junctures is Manoj Bajpai who justifies Jha's decision of pitting him against Bachchan.
On the other hand Saif Ali Khan remains largely unutilised which is such a pity. His disappearance during the middle portions of the film and a rather passive presence in the second half makes it an unsatisfactory experience for a viewer. Comparatively Deepika Padukone is there throughout the film and though she does hold up well in each of her scenes, she is primarily required to play Bachchan's support system for most part of her screen time. Prateik proves once again (after 'Dum Maaro Dum') that he needs to do a lot more before one can justify all the hype around him since 'Dhobi Ghat' days.
So eventually did I really watch he same film which had reservation as its central theme? Well, at least it started on that note though I have no clue what really led to an absolute shift in storyline as the film moved into the second half. It is apparent that though Prakash Jha had a good idea in hand, somewhere down the line there has been a certain change in thought process that led to two entirely different films pre and post the interval point.
Rating: **1/2 

Chiru announces Cherry's engagement date


Megastar Chiranjeevi sprouted a surprise by announcing the engagement date of his son Ram Charan on Twitter.  The date is final: September 2.  (The date also happens to be the birthday of Cherry's uncle, Pawan Kalyan).
The suspense over the date was finally over when Chiranjeevi, a Congress politician, became active on the micro-blogging site just to make the announcement.  It is not known whether the family will invite the media or will keep it a private affair.
As is well-known, Cherry's soulmate, Upasana Kamineni, is a Hyderabadi who helms a health magazine.  Ever since the news of their engagement was broken by a news channel last Saturday, Upasana's picture has been splashed across newspapers, tv and Internet.

Friday, August 12, 2011

With two big films, one in Telugu and the other in Tamil, on her platter, Hansika is all set to be back in the reckoning. This 9th of August, as she turns 21, Hansika is looking forward to the release of Kandireega and Velayudham. Besides, she is quite busy with Oru Kal Oru Kannadi and Oh My Friend too. The child artiste-turned-heroine is all praise for her co-stars, Ram of Tollywood and Vijay, the Tamil superstar, when IndiaGlitz caught up with her for a brief chat. In the tete-a-tete, she says that Tollywood and Kollywood are just names and that they are functionally almost the same. She avers that she will not be averse to playing any kind of role, even that of a sanyasin (one which made her a household name some years ago with Desamuduru), and the only criterion that matters to her is script. Excerpts from the interview. How is Kandireega going to be? Well, it has come out really well. I would say that the film is an action/comedy film. It is a fulsome entertainer, which you will like to watch with your family on a Sunday. I have liked the songs a lot. In fact, many people on Twitter are writing whole lines. It goes to show how well the audio has gone done with the listeners. How was it working with Ram? It was fun working with him. I had worked with him earlier (for Maska). It was nice working with him again for the second time. What are Kandireega's high points. The highlight of the movie is the lead pair; the highlight of the movie is the audio. In short, the highlight of the movie is the script. Though you had ventured into regional cinema with a Telugu film (Desamuduru), you have done more number of Tamil films than Telugu films. Yes, obviously I have done more of Tamil than Telugu cinema. Look, the thing is that wherever I get an opportunity to entertain, I would entertain. What kind of a film is Oh My Friend? (In the film, she co-stars with Siddharth) It is a youth-oriented film. It is very different from all the films in which I have been seen. It is about love, it is about friendship. I can't reveal much (about the film) at this point in time. Can we expect to see you in roles as interesting as that of a saffron robed sanyasin, in future? Or, are you going to stick to bubbly, girl-next-door roles? For me, what matters is the script. If the script demands me to don a particular role, I will be game to do that. Thus, yes, I can play a sanyasin again, if the script is good. In a lighter vein, were you ever approached by someone with a silly role which made you angry? No, not really. I think I have made that mark and I enjoy a commanding position where people can't come and ask me to do silly roles. Could you share a thought about the way Tollywood and Kollywood work? I feel that Tollywood and Kollywood are just their names. They are two different languages, that's all. Otherwise, people are professional and welcoming. Luckily, I have not struggled for my roles much; the people are very welcoming, in either industry. Are you going to act in television if the right offers come your way? Television offers are not coming to me at the moment. Also, I am not willing to do anything for TV. My hands are full with movies and that's more important to me. You are referred to as Khushboo in Tamil. Oh, Khushboo madam actually called me also when Engeyum Kaadhal released and she told me that she had seen it. And, people calling me Khushboo felt like being honoured with an award. It feels very good that a newcomer like me has been compared to a legendary actress like her. I hope that I will live up to the expectations of everyone. Do you have a dream to act with this or that hero? I am a very greedy actress. So, I would like to act with everyone - all the heroes, all the directors, all the actors - if I get a chance to. Are you taking any resolutions on this birthday? No, not really. If I have to change something, I will change it that very moment. I don't have to wait for 9th of August to do that. If not an actress, what would you have been? Well, I don't know what I would have been if I was not an actress, because I was lucky to be a child artiste. I never got a chance to think what I would have been if I was not an actress. I stick to be an actress. You know so many languages at this young age. Do you enjoy learning so many tongues? Or, do you learn them out of a necessity? I don't take it (learning languages) as a stress. It is a fun thing; I learn them in the process of working and interacting with people. I talk to the people in different languages, even though I may not be knowing the language well. I speak to them even if I am jerky. When are you planning to dub for yourself, be it in Telugu or Tamil? I don't know. It may probably happen sooner. My language should be polished for that. How has it been working with Vijay, the Tamil superstar? It has been great working with Vijay. He is a very close friend and a wonderful co-star. What kind of a subject is Velayudham? It is releasing by the end of this year. It is a family entertainer. It is a full Vijay film where people will love him, clap and whistle for him. Will you be willing to act as a second heroine? I have never been offered a second heroine so far. Who is your favourite star? All actually, can't name anyone. Did you ever follow any actress' acting template in the past? No, I think I have my own identity. I can't really follow someone. Who is your best critic? My mom is my biggest critic. It is she who suggests that this is good, this is wrong. She gives me the right direction.


For Naga Chaitanya, genres don't matter. He is at the moment open to playing any kind of roles. And that is why he has chosen a Hollywoodish film like Dhada, which is all set to release on August 12. Going by the promos, one could say that he is doing a power-packed role. However, Chaitu believes that he has also emoted a lot through his eyes.
In a chat with IndiaGlitz, Naga Chaitanya fields questions on how it was working for the movie, with Brahmanandam, his philosophy in life and more.
Naga Chaitanya Can you throw some light on your character in Dhada?
The name of my character in Dhada is Vishwa. He is a college graduate who has completed his studies in America. He is coming to Hyderabad, from where he originally hails. There take place some dramatic changes in Vishwa's life 10-15 days before he is coming to Hyderabad. It is at this point in the story when love happens in his life.
You have said that the film showcases the taste and style of you and Ajay Bhuyan (director) in real life. Can you elaborate on that?
Well, Ajay and I in real life have a realistic approach to things. We like to present things without resorting to exaggeration. We have presented the action sequences without using ropes etc. The fights are more like what you have seen in films like Bourne Identity.
Ajay has put in a lot of effort in styling Kajal Agarwal and I. Be it the costumes, hair style, the way we walk or the body language, Ajay took care about all the details in an intricate manner.
In what sense is the film contemporary? Is it story-wise or the feel that you are saying is trendy and modish?
I think the way the film has been picturised, on-screen style and feel, everything is contemporary about Dhada.
In what all ways is Dhada different from your previous films?
There is no comparison between Dhada and my previous films whatsoever. The characterization and elements in Dhada are different in every way from those of Josh or 100% Love. It is going to be different in terms of fights, comedy, and dance. It is a completely new package.
Tell us something about the directorial style of Ajay and how did your knowing him help you?
Ajay thinks out-of-the-box. He is not a regular thinker. He has five-six ideas for one scene. He suggests three-four variations for one version of dialogue. He is calm, easy-going and very friendly by nature. His different persona and talent reflect in the way the scenes have been made.

I am a greedy actress: Hansika


With two big films, one in Telugu and the other in Tamil, on her platter, Hansika is all set to be back in the reckoning. This 9th of August, as she turns 21, Hansika is looking forward to the release of Kandireega and Velayudham. Besides, she is quite busy with Oru Kal Oru Kannadi and Oh My Friend too. The child artiste-turned-heroine is all praise for her co-stars, Ram of Tollywood and Vijay, the Tamil superstar, when IndiaGlitz caught up with her for a brief chat.
In the tete-a-tete, she says that Tollywood and Kollywood are just names and that they are functionally almost the same. She avers that she will not be averse to playing any kind of role, even that of a sanyasin (one which made her a household name some years ago with Desamuduru), and the only criterion that matters to her is script.
Excerpts from the interview.
How is Kandireega going to be?
Well, it has come out really well. I would say that the film is an action/comedy film. It is a fulsome entertainer, which you will like to watch with your family on a Sunday.
I have liked the songs a lot. In fact, many people on Twitter are writing whole lines. It goes to show how well the audio has gone done with the listeners.
How was it working with Ram?
It was fun working with him. I had worked with him earlier (for Maska). It was nice working with him again for the second time.
What are Kandireega's high points.
The highlight of the movie is the lead pair; the highlight of the movie is the audio. In short, the highlight of the movie is the script.
Though you had ventured into regional cinema with a Telugu film (Desamuduru), you have done more number of Tamil films than Telugu films.
Yes, obviously I have done more of Tamil than Telugu cinema. Look, the thing is that wherever I get an opportunity to entertain, I would entertain.
What kind of a film is Oh My Friend? (In the film, she co-stars with Siddharth)
It is a youth-oriented film. It is very different from all the films in which I have been seen. It is about love, it is about friendship. I can't reveal much (about the film) at this point in time.
Can we expect to see you in roles as interesting as that of a saffron robed sanyasin, in future? Or, are you going to stick to bubbly, girl-next-door roles?
For me, what matters is the script. If the script demands me to don a particular role, I will be game to do that. Thus, yes, I can play a sanyasin again, if the script is good.
In a lighter vein, were you ever approached by someone with a silly role which made you angry?
No, not really. I think I have made that mark and I enjoy a commanding position where people can't come and ask me to do silly roles.
Could you share a thought about the way Tollywood and Kollywood work?
I feel that Tollywood and Kollywood are just their names. They are two different languages, that's all. Otherwise, people are professional and welcoming. Luckily, I have not struggled for my roles much; the people are very welcoming, in either industry.
Are you going to act in television if the right offers come your way?
Television offers are not coming to me at the moment. Also, I am not willing to do anything for TV. My hands are full with movies and that's more important to me.
You are referred to as Khushboo in Tamil.
Oh, Khushboo madam actually called me also when Engeyum Kaadhal released and she told me that she had seen it. And, people calling me Khushboo felt like being honoured with an award. It feels very good that a newcomer like me has been compared to a legendary actress like her. I hope that I will live up to the expectations of everyone.
Do you have a dream to act with this or that hero?
I am a very greedy actress. So, I would like to act with everyone - all the heroes, all the directors, all the actors - if I get a chance to.
Are you taking any resolutions on this birthday?
No, not really. If I have to change something, I will change it that very moment. I don't have to wait for 9th of August to do that.
If not an actress, what would you have been?
Well, I don't know what I would have been if I was not an actress, because I was lucky to be a child artiste. I never got a chance to think what I would have been if I was not an actress. I stick to be an actress.
You know so many languages at this young age. Do you enjoy learning so many tongues? Or, do you learn them out of a necessity?
I don't take it (learning languages) as a stress. It is a fun thing; I learn them in the process of working and interacting with people. I talk to the people in different languages, even though I may not be knowing the language well. I speak to them even if I am jerky.
When are you planning to dub for yourself, be it in Telugu or Tamil?
I don't know. It may probably happen sooner. My language should be polished for that.
How has it been working with Vijay, the Tamil superstar?
It has been great working with Vijay. He is a very close friend and a wonderful co-star.
What kind of a subject is Velayudham?
It is releasing by the end of this year. It is a family entertainer. It is a full Vijay film where people will love him, clap and whistle for him.
Will you be willing to act as a second heroine?
I have never been offered a second heroine so far.
Who is your favourite star?
All actually, can't name anyone.
Did you ever follow any actress' acting template in the past?
No, I think I have my own identity. I can't really follow someone.
Who is your best critic?
My mom is my biggest critic. It is she who suggests that this is good, this is wrong. She gives me the right direction.

Kandireega Movie Review


The makers promised it.  And, they have delivered it.  Kandireega was, in its hero's words, described as a "fresh commercial movie" by those who watched the rushes.  It would have seemed mere trumpeting, but for the confidence seen on the face of Ram, who, after a BO dud (Ganesh) and a near-average grosser (RRKK), believed in  Santosh Srinivas's script.
Starving for new ideas to keep the audience from becoming uninterested in cinema itself, Telugu cinema found an idiom some years ago.  Was born the tricky hero, who crafts a plot to con practically everyone in the film.  Not long before, everyone (be it the ruthless but doting father/brother of the heroine, the rival-lover and the anti-hero comedic sidekick) are trapped into his mousetrap or ship out.  All aimed to have a happy ending where he will marry the girl he had charmed before the vaudeville began.
Kandireega only improves on a solid template and offers full-on entertainment.  And how?
Seenu's (Ram) journey begins from Anakappali, moves to Hyderabad, only to to end in an expected climax in Warangal.  He begins as a loser, cursed by everyone in the village for becoming a nuisance.  The ever-so casual Seenu is stirred into doing his graduation when his maradalu (Swati in a cameo) refuses to marry a semi-illiterate like him.  He moves to the city, and soon falls for the beautiful Shruthi (Hansika Motwani).  The only problem to him appears to be Bhavani (Sonu Sood in one of the best performances), a much-feared goon for whom murdering is a daily routine, who too loves Shruthi.
The story takes an unexpected turn when Bhavani throws up a challenge to Seenu: to woo Shruthi as best as he can and win her love if he can.  (At first, it threatened to become a major defect in the film when Bhavani behaves in a manner that seems unrealistic with the way he has been projected from the beginning.  It soon becomes trivial when the film presents yet another surprising twist in the first leg of Half Two).
How does Seenu win over the love of Shruthi?  Does his plan to marry her go well as expected?  Is Bhavani playing with the fire?  More so, do Seenu and Bhavani have to overcome a new challenge?  Answers to these questions are revealed in the second half, which is a laugh riot.
Kandireega is different in both the first and second halves.  While we are entertained by Ram's heroic antics in the first half, in the second half it is a hotch potch of comedy, confusions and romances that keep us hooked to the seats.
The performances of Ram, Sonu Sood and Aksha need special mention.  While Ram is at his lively best, emoting naturally and delivering punchy lines in everyday lingo, Sonu Sood is menacing at first, then goes soft core mode.  The Bollywood import has got so much potential when it comes to delivering live wire performance without going overboard,  with just facial expressions.  On her part, Aksha (playing Sandhya) emotes well, be it when it comes to romance or doing comedy, and her Warangal dialect, albeit dubbed, is all right.  In fact, in the second half it is Sonu Sood and Aksha who are the leads.
Santosh Srinivas plays his game quite well.  With a well-written script, he executes it with craft.  Thaman's music and background score help.
Watch Kandireega for its comedy and its cinematic bells and whistles.
Released on: 12th Aug, 2011

Dhada Movie Review


dhada-movie-review

























Story
Vishwa (Naga Chaitanya) is a Telugu guy who completes his graduation and enjoys his life in Newyork along with his brother Rajiv (Sri Ram) and sister-in-law (Samiksha). Vishwa later falls in love with Rhea (Kajal Agarwal), daughter of multimillionaire (Mukesh Rishi). Rhea has everything except love from his father and so spends most of her time lonely watching old videos of her dead mother (Satya Krishna). In no time Rhea falls for Vishwa too, who shows love and care on her. On the other hand, Vishwa saves 100 young women from a trafficking business deal set for sexual exploitation between Kelly (Kelly Dorji), a Colombian drug lord and a local Don (Rahul Dev) and becomes their target. Meanwhile, Rhea’s father arranges her wedding with a top millionaire Amit? What does Vishwa do to win Rhea? How does Vishwa get out of theses circumstances and kill RD and Kelly forms the rest of the story.
Performances
Naga Chaitanya comes up with a mass look in the film. He evolved as an actor from the time of Josh and this time he did action sequences to attract the masses. Unlike his earlier flicks, Naga Chaitanya has come up with good dances too. However, he still needs to work on his expressions and dialogues while pulling off the intense and emotional scenes.
Kajal Agarwal looked stylish with splendid outfits but her weird hair-do’s did not suit her. She has put up blue eyed lens. Chinmayi, who dubbed for Samantha in YMC, has dubbed for Kajal in Dhada, but it did not go well with her.
Sriram as Chaitanya’s brother is good, Sameeksha is acceptable. Brahmanandam and Ali are wasted, Venu Madhav and Uttej are irritating, Mukesh Rishi is fine, Rahul Dev and Kelly Dorgee are adequate.
Technical Analysis
Cinematography by Gnanasekhar is on the top notch and is the biggest asset of the film. The film was shot in the amazing locales of Bangkok, Philippines, Newyork etc. Each and every frame looked rich. Devi Sri Prasad has delivered his regular best and a couple of songs are good on-screen but the misplacement of songs makes them dispassionate. Background score is good and elevated few scenes. Abburi Ravi dialogues were good. The action scenes are well choreographed and looked stylish. However, Editing is pathetic and screenplay is poor. Ajay Bhuyan has come up with poor storyline that lacked substance. Debutant Ajay Bhuyan except in a couple of scenes here and there, failed to make his mark with his directorial abilities.
Analysis
Dhada takes off on an interesting note but it looses its grip slowly. The whole story gets revealed in first few minutes and the rest carries with predictable screenplay. The story has no twists and turns and has absolutely nothing to offer for a regular moviegoer.
The comedy is other let down in the movie. Brahmanandam, Ali and other comedians roles are merely wasted. The makers have forcibly inserted few comedy scenes into the script which is quite annoying. D.Siva Prasad Reddy spent a bomb on the movie that can be seen in every aspect for this senseless and illogical project. The title Dhada seems to be apt for the buyers and exhibitors as the chances for the film to survive at the Box-Office are quite low.
Final Verdict
Dhada- A letdown...
Naga Chaitanya misses his hattrick

Kajal Busy 'Tempting' Mahesh


With news making rounds that she might be shown the exit door from the project ‘The Businessman’ Kajal is reportedly worried. So, with determination not to lose this one, she is using her seductive charms to move the cards. The film is directed by Puri Jagannadh and produced by Venkat under R R Movie Makers banner.

If a producer says no and he is backed by the director, a hero can use his veto power and say ‘no chance’. If that happens, the director and producer have no choice but to say yes. Of course, not all heroes have the veto power. So, it doesn’t require special explanation that for the hero to use the veto power, the heroine must go completely generous in ‘offering’ her glamour power.

It is heard that Kajal is currently busy in that only and she has taken a firm decision that at any cost she will not miss out on ‘The Businessman’. So, buzz is that she is busy tempting Mahesh Babu in her own style.

Kajal Likely To Lose 'The Businessman'


A few weeks ago there was a gossip that a businessman approached Kajal in the disguise of a producer and gave her some token amount as advance just to spend time with her. Let us ignore truth or lies in that gossip. Now it is being stated that, Kajal is about to lose her offer to act beside Mahesh Babu in 'The Buisnessman' as per reliable sources.

No one knows how far it is true that Kajal slapped Naga Chaitanya, as per Tamil media, but every body say that there wouldn’t be smoke without fire. Adding fuel to this suspicion, Kajal bunked 'Dhada' audio function and not even coming to promote the film even though the release is just 10 days ahead.

Now it is known that Nagarjuna became close to RR Movies Venkat with the film 'Damarukam'. Above that Venkat is hardcore fan of Nagarjuna and hence making over budget film with him keeping the business terms aside. Not even that even he bought the rights of 'Rajanna' whole sale.

Nag has got full influence to make Kajal keep away from 'The Businessman' as she disturbed his son. Already RR Venkat is making 'Autonagar Surya' with Naga Chaitanya. Hence there is every chance for Kajal to get kicked out from 'The Businessman'.

Trisha Demanding 2 Crores To Act With Sunil


It is heard that for the new film starring Sunil under the direction of Veerabhadram and produced by R R Movie Makers, Trisha is demanding Rs 2 crores. Buzz is that Trisha is planning to get married and quit films or put a comma to her career so she is sending such feelers in the industry.

Usually, Trisha’s remuneration is Rs 80 lakhs to Rs 1 crore for one film. But demanding Rs 2 crores for Sunil’s film is gaining significance.
Is she not interested to pair with Sunil? Or is it because she is planning to quit films she wants to make the most of it? or is it because she got to know through someone that R R Movies Venkat can shell out crores without a hitch? This is to be known.

Tollywood Actress' Secret Nights In Star Hotel


Some film actresses and flesh trade seems to go hand in hand at times. Usually, it is done in a rather sophisticated way when it comes to certain heroines. Right now, one name has been making hot rounds and the reason for that are her escapades in a posh manner.
It is heard that recently the pretty actress ‘S’ went to Goa. Well, this was not for shooting. It was to offer ‘services’ to a rich client who hails from Mumbai. A source close to the actress revealed “This is a package deal which includes her accommodation, shopping and other entertainments in Goa.”
Buzz is that she was staying at a posh seaside hotel in Goa along with her ‘rich friend’ and has been experiencing mutual pleasures with him. Though she is a hot property, it is heard that the starlet has been very discreet in these dealings and is ‘available’ only for the creamy layer and the elite of society. Talk about big people and big things folks.

The point to be underlined is that she was caught in alleged sex trade acts recently. She also had an affair with the brother of a big hero.

IT Officers Enjoyed Top Heroine @ Night


Lately, it is being noticed that the Income Tax officials have been focusing a lot on the cinema circuit. Their attacks started at Bollywood then came to Tollywood and now they have not even spared Mollywood as the top stars Mohanlal and Mammootty are going through few grilling sessions out there.

While most of the celebrities are doing their bit to resolve the matter, here is an update. This has to do with a top league heroine who also came under the IT scanner but she chose a different approach. It is heard that this hot babe got feelers from IT folks for an evening of drinks.

Understanding the inner meaning behind it, the heroine obliged. As a result, it is heard that while the chosen IT officers made the most of the night with her, the dusky beauty was able to come out of the IT net using her sexy hourglass curves and oomph factor as the net. Talk about mutual benefit folks!! Indeed, it is said that she got a waiver from getting a few crores of black money seized by IT officials with this offering.
So casting couch is not just limited to some directors and producers but also extended to some Income Tax officers.

'Colours' Papa Showing Her True Colours


The one name which fits the bill of ‘Colours’ Papa is Swathi, after having shot to fame with her TV show and few roles on big screen, the big eyed Swathi is losing steam in opportunities. So now, it is heard that she has decided to take an extra step and gain some breakthrough.

So far, Swathi was seen mingling with directors and producers but now she has begun that with technicians as well. The latest we hear is the thin reed starlet has begun accompanying Devi Sri Prasad and has been hanging out with him in clubs and pubs.

Those who heard this say Swathi seems to have taken the path of Namitha. Buzz is that Swathi is keen on displaying her beauties as well but the big question is- which director or producer would want to consider that and give the Colours Papa a chance as a heroine.
