0 Naidu, Balaiah to become grandfathers!

Even as the entire NTR clan is in a jubilant mood over the fixing of Jr NTR’s marriage with Lakshmi Pranathi, there is yet another good news for the family.

Naidu’s son Lokesh, who married Brahmani, daughter of Nandamuri Balakrishna, has broken the news that he is going to father a child very soon. Lokesh married Brahmani a couple of years ago and they had enjoyed enough marital bliss. Now, it is time to expand the family – and news is that Brahmani is going to deliver a child by May.

So, by the time Jr NTR ties the nuptial knot with Lakshmi Pranathi, Naidu and Balakrishna will don the roles of grandfathers. The only sad part is that Naidu is desperately to get back to power and Balaiah is desperately looking for a hit in the films. Will that ever be possible?

0 Pranathi madly in love with Jr NTR?

Despite fast losing ground in the state politics because of his double standard on Telangana, Telugu Desam party president N Chandrababu Naidu is taking every care in not losing the grip over N T Rama Rao family.

The marriage proposal for Jr NTR was made by Naidu himself, so that the family would not slip out of his control in future even if the party plunges into doldrums. Naidu knows that there is a wide gap of 10 years in the ages of Lakshmi Pranathi and Jr NTR and yet, came out with the proposal only to ensure that the young hero would remain under his control.

The girl is said to be madly in love with Jr NTR and she had conveyed the same through her father Narne Srinivas, who happens to be husband of Naidu’s niece Mallika. Now that Jr NTR’s mother is being accepted as one of the family members of NTR, there was no objection to anybody. And Naidu saw it as an excellent opportunity to retain his hold on the family.

The relationship between Narne Srinivas and Naidu has already been strengthened with establishment of business links between the two families. Naidu’s son Lokesh has gained a major stake in Narne’s television channel StudioN by investing around Rs 40 crore. It will now be further strengthened with Jr NTR’s marriage with Srinivas’ daughter!

0 ‘Rann’ Review: Too Much Preaching!!

Friday, January 29, 2010

Film: Rann
Language: Hindi
Banner: Vistaar Religare Film Fund, Big Bang Films Production and WSG Pictures
Rating: 3/5
Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Ritesh Deshmukh, Paresh Rawal, Mohnish Behl., Suchitra Krishnamurthy, Rajat Kapoor, Gul Panag, Neetu Chandra, Rajpal Yadav, Sudeep, Rahul Pendkalkar, Neena Kulkarni, Simone Singh etc
Cinematography: Amit Roy
Art: Aparna Sud
Editor: Nipun Gupta
Sound: Debasish Mishra
Story: Rohit Banawlikar
Producers: Sheetal Vinod Talwar, Madhu Mantena
Director: Ram Gopal Varma

Ram Gopal Varma has once again pulled audience to theaters in mobs despite his recent debacle ‘Agyaat’. That shows the indelible image he has and the unchallenged faith he creates among audience promising something interesting and hitting at every attempt. Let us sail in to the bits and pieces of this movie Rann and know how far it’s interesting and how hard it’s hitting:

Story:
Vijay Harshavardhan Malik (Amitabh Bachchan) is the owner of ‘India 24x7’ Channel. He is very idealistic in thought and action. He believes that media is responsible for people in every aspect. He believes only in reporting and educating than sensationalizing and gossiping. His main competitor is another channel ‘Headlines 24’ whose MD is Amreesh Kakkar (Mohnish Behl).

Vijay’s son Jay Malik (Sudeep), a hyper sensitive personality, is a contrast to his father and his love interest in Yasmeen (Neetu Chandra). He tries to grow big earning huge bucks through the channel.

Mohan Pande (Paresh Rawal), the opposition party leader conspires to dethrone the ruling PM Hoodda by using top two channels India 24x7 and Headlines 24.

How badly the family of channel head effect with that conspiracy? How selfishness of politicians, channel owners and their family members ruin the society. How channels are using the instincts of people to make money? That forms rest of the story.

Performances:
Every artiste needs highest possible commendation.

Sudeep excelled as hyper sensitive guy. Neetu marveled with glamour and also with little scope for performance she was given.

Ritesh has underplayed while Amitabh has shown his thespian talent with impressive histrionics in the climax.

Paresh Rawal brought some laughs and Raj Pal Yadav many. Suchitra is sufficient in CEO’s role while Mohnish Behl did his best as competitor to Amitabh.

Technically the movie is another master piece. Music directors are many- Dharmaraj Bhatt, Sandeep Patil, Jayesh Gandhi, Bapi, Tutul, Sanjeev Kohli, Amar Mohile but still all compositions stand on par with each other with similar tone and note! But there are no great numbers those haunt till audience reach home.

Highlights:
1. Raj Pal Yadav’s program titles bring ample laughs in theaters. Here are some-

  • ‘Amma Dekh Tera Munda Bigdaa Jaye’
  • ‘Pal Me Garam-Pal Me Naram’
  • ‘Sirf Dekhiye-Sochiye Math’
  • ‘Jo Jeeta Vohi Sikander’

2. Paresh Rawal’s performance and dialogue about ‘Kanoon…’!

3. Amitabh Bachchan’s climax performance

Analysis:
It’s too much of preaching.

Generally ‘Varmaism’ is known for less dialogue and more action. But here it’s out of religion. It’s verbose. This movie is just for media people on media. Hence they get connected to this. But the preaching part may appeal only for a few.

It has ample stuff to learn by aspiring directors and cinematographers as it is another good text book for

  • shot composition,
  • single shot making, and
  • usage of steady camera,
  • optimal utilization of digital elements,
  • lighting,
  • background score and
  • sound mixing.

But it may not entertain general audience. The theme chosen and executed is too heavy and concentrated. Above all it’s verbose and indoctrinating at the climax.

First half of the movie runs in pace with introduction of characters and their characterization with some story that moves ahead. Interval bang boosts up some interest and second half goes in similar plane and pace.

It’s a movie made with right motive but the narration sounds too idealistic. The two positive characters Poorab (Ritesh) and Vijay Malik (Amitabh) sound completely Utopian in their ideologies and approach which wouldn’t connect audience to reality. The script should have projected intelligence of these two protagonists than sincerity, patriotism etc. Thus, director missed ‘brain act’ in this and played only on ‘morals and ethics’.

On a whole it’s a sensible movie but the impact that it shows on media will be nil. The entertainment it gives for general audience wouldn’t fit the bill.

Bottom Line: Strictly for tolerant audience

0 6'3 Ravi Babu Frightens With 6'5

Speaking about giants in the Telugu film industry, the name of Allari Ravi Babu surely figures in that. The actor-director who has been known for his offbeat movies is also known for his gigantic personality but then he seems to be keen on adding some extra length to it.

It is heard that Ravi Babu wears a two inch heel shoe and due to this, he looks 6’5” than his original height 6’3”. It seems that he has this feeling of others should look short only then he is confident. However, Ravi Babu seems to have found an equal match and competition in another person.

He is Daggubati Rana and it is heard that this young lad is as tall as Ravi without the heels. Since then, Ravi is said to be doing his best to keep away from Rana whenever a public event is happening. Well, strange are the ways of the film folks and that too the talented ones.

0 Adhurs's Big Problem In Karnataka

Tuesday, January 26, 2010
Declared as the top ranker in the Sankranthi releases, the film ‘Adhurs’ has been ruling the roost at the box office in Andhra Pradesh. However, things have not been that smooth for the film in the neighbouring state Karnataka and here are the details of that.

Apparently, the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) has got a policy that non-Kannada movies must be released only on Fridays since their local movies are facing severe competition. But then, distributor Harinath Reddy had no choice but to release it during the week since he knew that by not doing like that, he would end up in a mess.

However, the KFCC showed its power by telling all print media not to carry any ads. This has resulted in a massive loss of Rs 40 lakhs to the distributor. It seems that Harinath Reddy approached the City Civil Court to stop KFCC and got an interim. Apparently, this treatment towards non-local films is said to have become a cause of concern to many Telugu film distributors.

0 I whouldn’t mind being no. 1: NTR Jr

Monday, January 25, 2010
It’s not everyday that you get to see the reclusive superstar NTR Junior in action. Literally. NTR who’s just recovered from a bad back was kicking some serious butt on location of his new film being shot in the old city. After a prolonged action sequence, as the young actor settled down for a long overdue chat, he seemed in good humour.

Probably some of that can be ascribed to the great opening of his new film which is currently playing in the theatres. For someone whose films have had a poor run at the BO whenever they’ve released during Sankranti, this film is breaking a festival jinx for him. “I’ve never believed in the superstition myself. I think those films were bad and that’s why they flopped. I’ll make no excuses for films that haven’t worked,” he says.

The outspoken 26-year-old star says his film shouldn’t even be compared to the previous big money-spinner Maghadeera. “Despite overwhelming response across the globe, it’s too early to predict if my film will become the highest grosser. In addition our film also had competition from a couple of other releases,” he reasons. A contender for the top slot, does he believe in the number game? “Not at all. Acting is my passion. While I am not desperate to become the No.1 in T-town, if I actually became one, I wouldn’t mind it either. Who would? Being the first among equals always gives you a high,” he says.

Quiz him about why he’s so publicity shy and the actor confesses that he’s wary of talking to the “media” and can’t pretend “to be good to strangers just to promote my work. If I don’t like someone I can’t pretend otherwise. So, it’s best to let my work do all the talking instead.”

For someone who was bed-ridden for four months due to a bad back injury, he confesses that he had to get back to work because he was “worried about the growing number of well-wishers who felt I’d never be able to dance in my life. I know they were genuinely concerned about my health, but I took it up as a challenge and got back in action. I’d call it a rebirth of sorts for me,” he says misty-eyed. The reignman who “touched the peaks and lows at a very young age” insists that he’s “worked on my drawbacks and fine-tuned my strengths to emerge as a good human being,” he says.

Coming up next are Brindavanam and Shakti. “The former is a wholesome family entertainer and the latter is a unique concept,” he informs. And much like a lot of his contemporaries, the young actor now intends to do a couple of films a year. “My grandad used to do 15 films in a year, I can never be like that. We need to cater to the changing tastes of the discerning Gen Z audience,” he points out. Is that also because there aren’t too many larger-than-life roles being written in the Telugu filmdom? “Well, there are a lot of scripts, some of which are very good. But filmmakers are reluctant to take risks. After my blockbuster Simhadri, I was apprehensive about doing larger-than-life roles too, but I began to enjoy doing them after a while,” he says with a chuckle.

Beyond the arc lights, NTR isn’t really the partying type. “I dislike pubbing and prefer a quiet evening with my friends at some place that’s not teeming with people. For me, my home is my retreat. I like nothing better than listening to music — it can be a great stress-buster,” he says.

And marriage and romance will have to wait. “There’s no time for either. I am too busy with my first love —acting — for now,” he says as if on cue. (TNN)

0 Deepika’s biggest critic

Name one Bollywood actor who has anything good to say about his critics.

For that matter, the feelings, we can say, are mutual between them. But Deepika Padukone loves her critic and can listen endlessly to the judgement passed on her. That’s because the critic is none other than younger sister Anisha.

“She is also my biggest fan. She always gives me a fair opinion,” says Deepika. But Anisha, unlike her elder sister, harbours no dream of hogging the limelight. “She is training to be a professional golfer. Anisha is very good at it,” said Deepika. (TNN)

0 Bikini is not a Big Deal

Looks like it’s sizzle season in K-town. Tamil actresses are reinventing themselves and how! The latest one to have traded her simple image toplay the glam doll is Vimala Raman. After her coy girl-next-door act in Evaraina Eppudaina, she’s all set to dazzle in a brand new sexy avatar for her new film. “Hey, you can’t expect an NRI girl to wear traditional outfits. The role demanded the kind of clothes I wore,” she says defensively.

But wasn’t sporting a bikini taking things too far? Vimala refutes that charge and says that she wasn’t seeking cheap publicity. She also adds that she hasn’t gone overboard. “I wore a bikini just for a song sequence…it’s no big deal,” she says. Considering that women in Tollywood hardly get to do meaty roles, is this new image meant to compete with hotties Anushka, Ileana and Nayanthara, in the skin show race? “It would be unfair to compare me with established actresses. I also dislike being typecast,” she says firmly.

Vimala has now signed a refreshing role in Gayam 2 and has just wrapped up a Kannada film (Aptha Rakshaka) with the late Vishnuvardhan. “My knowledge of classical dance came handy for the role. Working with the late Vishnuvardhan was a memorable experience,” she rewinds.

The last few months have been hectic for Vimala, who’s done some money-spinning Mollywood films. “Those films showcased my acting repertoire and I received some major awards for them. While awards are perks, the thing that matters the most is audience appreciation,” she points out.

The Sydney-born Tamilian is now yearning to return to do a film in Chennai. “I am hoping to sign a big Kollywood film one of these days,”she says. (TOI)

Thousands of guests such as fans, film stars, politicians and other dignitaries, including fans witnessed Navya Nair’s wedding.

Ms. Nair, who began her movie career with the hit Malayalam movie ‘Ishtam’ in 2001 and went on to win the State Best Actress award the following year for her performance in ‘Nandanam’, has around five yet-to-be completed films in her bag as she tied the knot with Mr. Menon, vice-president of a Mumbai-based exporting firm and son of Narayana and Shantha Menon, originally hailing from Changanassery in Kottayam district.

0 Deepika wants Salman!

Saturday, January 23, 2010
When you’re super confident, gorgeous and as successful as Deepika Padukone, then you don’t waste time crying over split relationships. You hold your head on your tall frame high and just glide like a diva. That is exactly what Deepika is doing.

She refutes talk that she has immersed herself neck-deep in work because she wants no time to think. Laughing aloud she says, “Love Aaj Kal is the second most successful film of 2009 after 3 Idiots. Saif Ali Khan, Imtiaz Ali, Dinesh Vijjan and I didn’t feel the need to put out advertisements in newspapers saying ours is one of the biggest hits simply because it is a huge hit. And, it so happens that by virtue of this super-hit, I’ve bagged some super duper assignments.”

This year will have Deepika in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se, Pradeep Sarkar’s next with Neil Nitin Mukesh, Farhan Akhtar’s Kartik Calling Kartik and Sajid Khan’s Houseful.

Besides these she also starts work on a romantic film with Imran Khan produced by Kunal Kohli. “With so much happening, I’ve no time to even breathe,” says the actress, who in two years since her debut is knocking on the doors of Bollywood’s czarinas. “I’m so glad that I got this opporutnity to work with Ashutosh,” she says. “He is awesome.”

She is fortunate that her roles are also varied. If she will prance in a bikini around Akshay Kumar in Houseful, then she’ll probably walk away with top acting honours for her role as a revolutionary in Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se with Abhishek. In the midst of this packed action, is there anything more she’d like? “Well, I’d like to do a movie with Salman Khan,” she smiles. “And Aamir Khan too.” Ok, and now please don’t put her wish under a scanner and think she’s sending out coded messages to anyone out there.

After working with the top bracket — Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar and Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika would but naturally veer in the direction of Salman or perhaps even Aamir. (TNN)

0 Salman’s generous act

Everyone who knows Salman Khan knows that the actor has a heart of gold. Time and again one hears about his generous offerings when it comes to helping people who deserve help – be it the sick, the poor, the needy, the lonely or the deserted.

But this time around, as he makes his appearance on Sony TVs Lift Kara De, where he meets his biggest fan, Salman, not only helped his fan, but his entire family!

The story goes that Sallu was so touched by his fan and his family’s plight that he not only helped him through the show with the money earned (one of the tasks to prove the fan’s loyalty and admiration for the star) multiplied by thousands to raise funds, he even went a step ahead and announced that he will fund the operation of his blind wife and the education of his three daughters. Well, well, now that is something only Salman can do.

But wait, if you are thinking that Salman only made people emotional on the show, think again. Rock star as he is, Salman had a rollicking time with host Karan Johar as well! He even shared some of his closely guarded secrets of love, life and his single status. Catch the star today on Lift Kara De, at 8 pm. (TNN)

0 Trade Talk: Nothing But ‘A’

The time has come to have a look at how things have been at the collection centres and given the fact that the Sankranthi festival just passed by, big banner movies were in good numbers. However, the results seem to be a bit mixed and here is a clear picture.

Top in the list is ‘Adhurs’ and thanks to NTR jr and his character along with the sex appeal of Sheela, the film has been doing quite well at the box office. The Venkatesh – Vytla movie ‘Namo Venkatesa’ has not been able to reach the expectations level but it is doing good overseas.

‘Sambho Siva Sambho’ is being given an unfair deal. The film is good but it is suffering due to lack of publicity. The other release ‘Om Shanti’ is a total washout. Meanwhile, the Bollywood blockbuster ‘3 Idiots’ is still going strong among the audience here.

In no time, he became the right hand and contested from PRP for the Secunderabad seat for Loksabha. Reliable sources say that Shravan is the only person who got free ticket of PRP while others paid and that too on Pawan’s recommendation so one can imagine the intimacy between him and Pawan.

However, Shravan has now jumped into TRS party. This has given rise to various thoughts. Many are not sure if he told Pawan before taking this decision or whether it was Pawan himself who advised Shravan to jump from a sinking ship.
