0 Tabu loves to stay at home

Tabu is a breath of fresh air in Bollywood. She has been in town recently to promote her new film Toh Baat Pakki. Keeping with the movie’s theme of marriage, love and relationships, she was in a chatty mood and spoke about the choices she has made in her life. “I am very happy living life on my terms. There is no bigger joy than knowing you worked towards what you wanted and even got it. I like doing selective work and staying in my Hyderabad bungalow, which took three years to complete.

But it is totally my vision. It is an achievement for me.” So we asked her if she would go for an arranged marriage and pat came the reply, “after a lot of thought and some influence of this film, I feel an arranged marriage would be great. I have had enough of love.” She is looking forward to the Amitabh Bachchan- starrer, The Legend Of Kunal, which she hopes to start working on soon.

0 Naga Chaitanya’s ‘Public Blessing’ For Samantha!

It is a common sight to see young and beautiful heroines flocking around star kids especially the young heroes most of the time. While some are quite jealous of it, the general perception is that these girls have a motive and they hover around so that they can bag few plum offers.

Meanwhile, the latest release ‘Ye Maya Chesave’ has been rocking the audience and it has given an indication of the above topic. In one of the scenes, Naga Chaitanya tells Samantha “naatho unte manchi cinemaalu vastaayi” and those who heard this are now defining it.

They say that Chaitu was giving a public assurance to Samantha that if she sticks around with him, she would get better offers. Call it a coincidence or reading between the lines, the fact remains that if Samantha applies it in real life, her reel life will take a new direction.

0 Nagarjuna Ready To Buy Those 2 Acres

The recession is now coming to an end and the markets are slowly recovering so one field to be checked in Hyderabad is the real estate. Keeping that in view, it is heard that Nagarjuna seems to be keen on buying on some property but this one has got a history.

Apparently, there is a 7 acre land in Jubilee Hills near Annapoorna studios and the owners of this bit are in the UK. They have their relatives in Chennai. Out of this, about 5 acres of the land is encroached by the notorious real estate don Srisailam Yadav and he is said to be demanding an exorbitant sum.

Meanwhile, Nag is said to be keen on taking those 2 acres as this would benefit him in a big way when it came to the parking space of his studio. It is heard that the owners want to settle it with Nag as well as Srisailam Yadav and so some proper parties are currently being scouted to resolve it.

0 Is Tollywood Breaking Formula?

Amongst the southern cinema circuits, the Tollywood circuit has always been known for its standard formula films and the conventional methods of stories. But with each passing day, such things seem to be changing and right now, Tollywood seems to be going through a path breaking mode.

With films like Ye Maya Chesaave, Village Lo Vinayakudu etc, it is being observed that offbeat genres are being appreciated very well by the audience and they are raking in moolah at the box office as well. The film pundits are closely monitoring this new trend and say that this is a good sign.

However, the need to spread such format of movies in the B and C centers also is necessary, they add. But then, there are those who say that this would spoil the authenticity and identity of the Telugu cinema. At the end of the day, it is the entertainment of the viewers and the box office that must be the criteria…

0 Aishwarya Rai in no mood to forgive, boycotts award show

Aishwarya Rai is in no mood to forgive and forget the derogatory rumors about her that were fabricated and published by Mumbai Mirror.

Aishwarya according to the tabloids fake news was apparently suffering from stomach TB which is hampering her efforts towards conceiving.

Aishwarya Rai was supposed to perform at an award function, but backed out once she got to know that the Mumbai Mirror is associated with the awards show.

In a bid to lure Aishwarya, the organizers were willing to pay her 85 lakhs, however Aishwarya refused the money and said, “Main nahi nachhongi no matter how strong the lure of lucre.”

Aishwarya is demanding an apology from Mumbai Mirror, however they haven’t apologized to her yet.

0 Uday Kiran’s Heroine Becomes ‘Sex Missile’

Ultimate star Uday Kiran is one man who has gone to the shed with hardly anything happening for him in his career. However, the few heroines who paired with him are still in the race and making their presence felt. One among them is the sweet looking beauty Anita who paired with him in ‘Nuvvu Nenu’.

Anita moved to Bollywood after not being able to deliver success and did few stints on the small screen. But now, she is back and that too with a bang. Yes, the pretty girl was seen in a rather sexy form as she danced for an item song in the latest release ‘Kalavar King’.

Those who have seen her say that Anita looks slim and sexier than before. Due to this impact, offers are already beginning to line up for Anita in this format. If this works out then Anita would start a second innings. It appears that Uday’s heroines sure get a second chance, at least as itme girls.

0 Reel Talk: Jokes On Young Hero!

The film industry is one place where fates play a key role. At least that’s the thought one gets when they look at few individuals. For instance, one look at the flop hero Rohit suggests that he is born with a golden spoon of luck and here is the reason why this feeling is coming.

The actor who is off the screen since quite a while was spotted at the Hyderabad Fashion week and those around were surprised to see few things. Apparently, the photo journos took time out to click Rohit and later on, the event organizers also arranged for some booze.

It is five years to be exact since Rohit’s career is gone and despite that, looking at the attention he got, the general comment was that of jokes and some on his ‘Sudi’ which still seems to be in a better shape.

“Career ayipoyi 5 ellu ayina inkaa meeda padi photo lu teese photographer lu, vindu chese sponsor lu unnaarante..aahaa..ade raajabhogam”..is the comment that was heard from an onlooker.

0 Who Called Sirish To ‘Fashion Week’?

Sirish is one man who has been causing quite a commotion wherever he goes. Apparently, he lands up at the most unexpected places at the right time and with his innocent smile stuns all. Something like that was the experience many had when they saw him at the Hyderabad Fashion week.

This event is the first of its kind in Hyderabad and the famous Kalamandir has been responsible for making it happen. Meanwhile, the celebrity couple of Sirish and Sreeja were seen and this got many talking as to how they got to get here and who could have possibly invited them.

Well, after some digging, it was figured out that Sirish who happens to be a censor board member is the colleague of Kalamandir Kalyan who is also a censor board member and it was on his invite that he came along with his wife. The event is for three days and today happens to be the last day.

Tollywood personalities Mani Shankar, Venkatesh, Dil Raju, Prakash Raj, Suresh Babu, Sindhura Gadde, Sushant, Sumanth and others turned up for the bash and were seen bonding with the younger P3 lot over exotic cocktails. The party went on till well past midnight and Rana played the perfect host. Rana’s pals Gokul, Shagun, Rajiv Mallu, Kiran Raju and Varun Reddy were seen spotted having a blast.

From Ravi Teja and Venkatesh to the young brigade led by Ram Charan, Allu Arjun and Nag Chaitanya, the list was star-studded. The ladies were there as well, dressed to kill. Sindhura Gadde’s white outfit gets the thumbs up but her silver shoes were a complete let down. Richa’s purple number was good but she failed to score in the footwear department. Nag Chaitanya kept it simple in trousers and shirt while Allu Arjun and Ram Charan went casual, ditto RaNa.

0 We should satisfy Producers and Directors

Sindhura Gadde was crowned Femina Miss India World in 2005. Since her crowning, she has made several Ads, this model turned actress has made a bitter statement about the film industry.

This statement leads different talks in Tollywood.

0 Krishna’s Daughter Frightened All

Friday, February 26, 2010

It is a common sight to see many of the posh girls speaking in a rather accentuated English or Telugu but things get a bit tricky when ladies from the film industry do the same. But then, something like that has happened recently and the person we are talking about is Manjula.

Yes, the daughter of superstar Krishna caused a jiffy to the media with her Tinglish. Half of her statements were in American accent English with slang and the remaining lines were in Telugu but with a complete American accent.

All this was done by Manjula during the promo of her Telugu movie ‘Em Maya Chesave’ which is hitting the screens today. Whether her stint has worked or not, it was putting all in difficulty as they were trying to figure out what she was saying. Wonder what superstar Krishna has to say to his daughter’s Tinglish.

0 Vasu to direct Chandramukhi sequel

0 RGV meets his match

Ram Gopal Gopal Varma has been challenged by debutante director Rajesh Ranshinge to sit all alone in the theatre and watch his film Rokkk, starring Tanushree Dutta and Udita Goswami.

RGV has always claimed to be the master of horror films and has taken great pride in challenging the audience time and again. During the release of Phoonk, Ramu had challenged the audience to watch it alone in the theatre and the person who did that would win a cash prize of Rs 5 lakhs.

“But this time the tables have been turned. Rajesh has challenged Ramu to watch Rokkk alone and claims he will shell out Rs 5 lakhs if he manages to do it,” said a source.

When contacted, Rajesh said, “I am challenging him to watch my film. I’m sure it will send shivers down any viewer’s spine. I want to test Ramu’s guts and see if he can sit through my film.”

0 Tollywood young stars together

All four belong to the same age group, all four are working for the same field and their parents may never see eye to eye, but one must give it to young guns like Rana, Charan, Allu Arjun and Naga Chaitanya for keeping their friendship alive even after they got into showbiz themselves. The saccharine sweet things they say about each other are not all, they even cut a cute picture at almost every Tollywood event or party in town.

0 Ambanis to have a Bollywood bash

In their first direct overture, Anil and Tina Ambani are a throwing a real power bash for Bollywood.This Sunday, everyone will head to the suburbs where Anil and Tina Ambani are throwing a big bash. This is probably the first time that they’re doing so for Bollywood.

Our source said, “The Ambanis made their presence felt in Bollywood long ago and are one of the biggest companies right now. However, till date, they had not come forward and made any appearances at their Bollywood events. Now, though, they have decided to actively be part of the scene and have announced a party for Sunday evening at one of the suburban five-star hotels.

The party has been thrown to celebrate the success of their recent films Paa, 3 Idiots and Rock On, which have won many awards. Anil and Tina have personally invited all the major names in Bollywood. At the grand event, major announcements will also be made about their upcoming parties. It is an exclusive evening with the cast and crew of their films and all the bigwigs from Bollywood will be present.”

It sounds like quite a mela, with a generous mish-mash of stars with the lesser-known mortals. The source further said, “The invites have reached everyone from Amitabh Bachchan to the three Khans and even the smallest actors in Bollywood.”

0 Review: ‘Ye Maya Chesaave’- It’s ‘Heart’ful

Film: Ye Maya Chesaave
Rating: 3.75/5
Banner: Indira Productions
Cast: Naga Chaitanya, Samantha, Krishnudu, Tanya, Surekha Vani, Sanjay Swarup, Devan, Lakshmi, Puri Jagannadh, Trisha Alex and others
Music: A R Rahman
Cinematography: Manoj Paramahamsa
Editing: Anthony
Story, screenplay, direction: Gautham Menon
Producers: Manjula, Sanjay Swarup
Release date: 26/02/2010

Oscar winning music director and India’s pride AR Rehman scored for a Telugu movie after a very long time. Goutam Vasudev Menon, a class director who makes movies with his heart has come up with an interesting title ‘Ye Maya Chesaave’. When looked at its Tamil title ‘Vinnathandi Varuvaya’, I understood it means ‘vennela daati vastaava’…sounded something interesting. At the same time I understood it’s a movie just for a set of audiences but not for everyone.

I entered the theatre carrying the same opinion and also doubted a bit if I fall in that ‘set of audience those may like this flick’. I was looking the blank white screen in front of me and the censor certificate appeared. Yes, the movie started. The titles started rolling…but in a very different fashion where I haven’t seen so far. The taste of director is understood for showing creativity even in that minute detail. And I didn’t carry away with that. I have many experiences of watching many bad movies those started with interesting things…After 10-15 minutes, I understood that I’m getting disconnected from the narration. I didn’t understand what I was watching. Was that a documentary on interstate love? Or a video on Kerala Tourism? Or a Malayalam learning class? I also heard some murmurs from back seats. The Re-Recording didn’t appeal at all. It sounded like a 10 year old TV serial. Every aspect started appearing disappointing and erratic for me.

But don’t know what magic worked, I have forgotten myself after a while. It’s a saga into nostalgia. It’s a journey into feel. It’s an odyssey into a passionate pleasure of life. Verdant Kerala, vibrant songs, jubilant age, vigilant father, elegant heroine, radiant hero and latent mood started dancing in symphony holding my heart strings. That was a blissful moment from then.

Samanta…!! The gal is like a madrigal. She is gifted with poetic features and she has very bright future. Goutam Menon placed her on right platform. Her poetic eyes, expressive lips, impressive looks and every aspect of her histrionics proved that she is a beauty with talent.

Naga Chaitanya deserves very good commendations for his portrayal. He has shown maturity just in his second movie…Still he needs to grow, but for the role of a hero who is two year younger than heroine, he did right justice and none other would have grooved in the role so well. However, he must flex his face muscles to show the pain and emotion in romantic sequences in his future flicks. His dialogue delivery is good and he has a positive body language. This is a mature performance from him.

Krishnudu did his bit as required, Surekha Vani was standard, Sanjay Swarup was okay, Devan didn’t have much to do, Puri Jagannadh was natural, the others contributed effectively with their performances.

Dialogues by Anuradha are very natural and clear. There is no drama but truth in every word penned by her. She too has bright future as scrip writer.

Well, Naga Chitanya plays the role of Karthik and Samanta plays Jessie.

Karthik (Chaitu) is an engineering pass out whose aim is to become a movie maker. His life takes a turn with the arrival of Jesse (Samantha), the Christian girl of the landlord Joseph (Devan). It is love at first sight for Karthik and despite the age gap and other barriers, he is blindly after her. A game of touch me not happens and Jesse says yes to him. But what lies in store for Karthik is unexpected and how his life takes a turn after that forms the rest of the story.

AR Rehman clean bowled every one with his songs. Goutam Menon did real ‘maya’!!

This is the movie that should be watched not with eyes but with nostalgia. This is the movie that should be understood not with brains but with hearts. Purely, this movie appeals those who have crossed their Graduate studies, Engineering studies, MBBS, MCAs and MBAs. This master piece pulls the senses of audiences with its magic despite they sit with resistance to get lured. It’s the film for class audience those are in the age group 25 ++. The second half is better than first half and the magic worked till the last. The last 15 minutes is very predictable for Telugu audience but still captivating. The closing of the film is very convincing and creative. Appearance of Trisha and Simbu in last scene attracts attention and boosts up interest.

It’s a very genuine script and honest attempt. Goutam is so lucky to find producers for making a film of this sort without demanding for so-called commercial elements which have been the part of cine-religion…high voltage fights, exposing heroines and vulgar dialogues. This movie gives strength for new writers those pen scripts with honesty deep from their hearts.

‘Ye Maya Chesaave’ is an example for a standard of a movie when it goes on to screen directly from heart without any adulteration.

It’s a tender nostalgic ray
That hits hearts and paves way
What else should I say?
Than telling you to watch Ye Maya Chesaave…!!

0 ‘Inkosari’ Review: Only For Class Audience

Film: Inkosari
Rating: 3/5
Banner: Bay Movies
Cast: Raja, Manjari Phadnis, Richa, Vennela Kishore, Ravi Varma, Sandeep, Harish, Rao Ramesh, Gollapudi Maruthi Rao, Bhargavi, Sayali Bhagat and others
Music: Mahesh Shankar
Dialogues: Gandham Nagaraju
Editing: K V Krishna Reddy
Cinematography: Gogineni Ranganath
Director: Suman Pathuri
Producer: Kalyan Palla
Release date: 26/02/2010

The multiplex hero Raja who has been trying hard for a hit has arrived with a new venture and the ‘Nuvve Kavali’ fame Richa Pallod also makes her comeback. How did the movie work for both of them and of course the others, let us see.

Story
Six friends Ajay (Raja), Shruti (Manjari), Bala (Kishore), Vicky (Harish), Sudhakar (Ravi) and Deepti (Richa) complete their college and till then life has been full of fun and frolic. They meet up for one last time and decide to meet on the same day next year. However, that doesn’t happen as everyone gets busy. After seven years, Ajay is back from US and he decides to have a week long vacation with all his friends. He gets in touch with the rest of the gang and finally all of them agree. What happens from there and how each person’s life has taken turns forms the rest of the story.

Performances
Raja is just ok. He needs to show something different in his performance. The same old phenomenon may not work for him.

Manjari looks pretty as ever and though she was unable to do well in the anger or emotional scenes, her screen presence is sweet.

Richa is a laid back character for her and she has done her bit with energy and contributed.

Vennela Kishore is the life and soul for the movie, witty dialogues and energetic performance, he is the show-stealer.

Harish added his bit of humor and he showed confidence (his ‘aapa ra Hindi’ comedy video has been the most popular on youtube). He is the real comedy actor who deserves more opportunities.

Sandeep has delivered a decent performance and has got handsome looks. If he could work on adding few emotional expressions then it would work. He has got potential.

Gollapudi Maruti Rao was general, Saira Bhanu looks seductive, Sayali’s song could have been better. Rao Ramesh was brief.

Highlights:
Vennela Kishore, the real hook for the film
‘Gamyam’ fame Nagaraju’s Dialogues, carried enthusiasm

Disappointments:
Mild pace
Technical values

Analysis
The film runs on a good concept but then it is the presentation and narrative that have spoiled the spirit. There are two reasons why the film works – the exceptional performance of Vennela Kishore and some strong and witty dialogues from Gandham Nagaraju.

Otherwise, the background score was non-situational at few scenes, songs were just okay, cinematography was weak, costumes were neat and art department was alright. The film also suffered due to lack of pace and few directorial flaws were clearly evident.

Raja-Manjari romance didn’t gel well.

The first five minutes is quite shaky as though we are already past 20 minutes but later on, it settles and goes smoothly. If the makers had worked on the technical values and gave it a good visual appeal adding it with speed, the impact would have been much better. This is film for the urban audience and the youth audience, nothing in it for the masses.

Real credit goes to Vennela Kishore as he shouldered the movie in a very entertaining manner.

If the budget is not too high for the film, it could make decent returns at the box office. It goes well with class audiences but masses will be a doubt.

Bottom Line: Not So Appealing

0 Tollywood 2010: ‘Dead End’ For Big Heroes

The time has come to face some realities and this has to do with the future of Tollywood for the year 2010. One thing looks clear, the era of the big four or shall we say the big three seems to be coming to an end. Here is a look at why such thoughts are coming up.

Apparently, a young wave has taken over with the likes of NTR jr, Daggubati Rana, Ramcharan, Allu Arjun etc and they are going for the big directors. On the contrast, big guns like Nagarjuna, Venkatesh, Balakrishna are going in for the relatively less experienced or sometimes debutantes.

Also, it is heard that many are unable to come up with the right kind of stories for the big three and a scene reversal has taken place in terms of the directors. Chiru is no longer there, Balayya has reached the saturation point, Nag and Venky have not much to achieve so we leave it to your thoughts to see where this year is heading folks…

0 Reel Buzz: Richa And Rana @ 9 Lakhs!!

The film industry is one tough place to make a living and that too earn money without much efforts. However, it takes those lucky few who tend to fill their bank accounts with their mere presence. They are the celebrity stars and right now, two names are in discussion.

They are the duo of Daggubati Rana and the ravishing beauty Richa Gangopadhyay. Both paired up for the film ‘Leader’ and now it is heard that in order to make their presence felt, one has to shell out a cool Rs 9 lakhs. Well, this is the remuneration both take to attend an event or inaugurate an establishment.

Sources reveal that while Rs 2 lakhs go for Richa, Rs 7 lakhs is the remuneration for Rana for their mere presence. And again, there are certain sub-clauses such as the time required for them to be around and what must be their activities as part of the event. So that’s the Rana- Richa account for you folks.

Yesterday, it was the turn of the young and vibrant hero Nikhil Siddarth of ‘Happy Days’ fame to make his presence felt. All these days he was called ‘Happy Days Nikhil’ but now he is being addressed ‘Kalavar King Nikhil’. Known for his high levels of energy and a rather trendy style of dressing, Nikhil was said to be busy mixing freely with the crowds and enjoying the show as well.

He has his own litmus test coming up in the form of his new movie ‘Kalavar King’ which is gearing up to hit the screens tomorrow. Meanwhile, it is also heard that Nikhil was trying to spin his charms on the pretty young things out there and his presence also brought some cheers to the youth audience.

This could be true if our sources from Kollywood are to be believed. The petite beauty Trisha who is all set to arrive with her new Tamil movie ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya’ has been hitting the gossip mills big time. This is due to her rather ‘special’ friendship with co-star and friend Silambarasan. News is that both have indulged in a steamy lip lock sequence and unit members say that chemistry is seen off the sets as well. As usual, Trisha has denied these reports quoting Simbu is just a friend and not her type in terms of romance. But only time will tell whether she is right or not…
