0 అభిమానిని ఆనందపరచిన రజనీకాంత్!

ఇండియాలో సూపర్ స్టార్ గా వెలుగొందిన హీరో రజనీకాంత్. అంతే కాదు ఎదుగుతున్న కొద్ది ఒదుగుతూనే ఉండే హీరో రజనీ అదే ఆయన సూపర్ స్టార్ అవడానికి నిదర్శనం. ఎంత బిజీగా ఉన్నా ఆయనకు సమయం దొరికినప్పుడల్లా తన అభిమానులతో మాట్లాడుతూ వారిని సంతోషపెడుతూ ఉంటారు రజినీ. ప్రస్తుతం కొంత మంది అభిమాను కొరకు ఇల్లు కూడా కట్టిస్తున్నారన్న విషయం తెలిసిందే.

ఈ మధ్య నటుడు విజయ్ వసంత్ చెన్నైలోని పెళ్లి వేడుకకు రజినీ హాజరయ్యారు. తమ ఆరాద్య నటుడు రజనీ ఆడిటోరియంలో నడుచుకుంటూ వెళుతుంటే రజనీ తమ మధ్యే ఉడటంతో చూసేందుకు అభిమానులు ఒకరినొకరు తోసుకుంటూ ముందుకు వచ్చేసారట. ఈ తోపులాటలో ఓ అభిమాని అదుపు తప్పి కింద పడిపోయాడట. అది గమనిస్తున్న రజనీ అభిమాని దగ్గరికెళ్లి చేయిచ్చి పైకి లేపారంట. ఇంత మంది జనం ఉన్నప్పుడు కాస్త జాగ్రత్తగా ఉండాలంటూ సూచించారట.

దాంతో ఆ అభిమాని సూపర్ స్టార్ రజనీ చేయి ఇచ్చినందున ఇది కళ నిజమా నమ్మలేకపోతున్నాను అని ఒక్క క్షణం ఏం చేయాలో తెలియక జీవితంలో రజనీని దూరం నుండైనా ఒక్కసారి చూస్తే చాలు అనుకున్న ఆ అభిమానికి ఆనందంతో మాటలు రాలేదు. నా కళ నిజమైంది నేను రజనీ గారి ని చూసేశాను, మాట్లాడాను అను బిగ్గరగా అరిచేసి తన సంతోషాన్ని అందరితోనూ పంచుకొన్నాడట. గుంపులో గోవింద అన్నట్టు కూడా తన అభిమానిని పట్టించుకున్న రజనీకాంత్, ఇతర అభిమానులను కూడా ముచ్చట పడేట్టు చేసింది.

0 Golimaar Review: Bang on Target!!

colguyram Rating: 3.5/5
Director : Puri Jagannath
Music Director : Chakri
Producer : Bellamkonda Suresh
Starring : Gopichand, Priyamani, Nassar, Roja Selvamani and others...

Puri Jagannath is known to elevate the protagonists in his film in a way no other director does. And hero Gopichand plays his character with great intensity. That is exactly why ‘Golimaar’, in Puri – Gopichand combination gains interest. The fact that this story is inspired by an encounter specialist Daya Nayak makes it all the more interesting.

What’s the Story : Gangaram (Gopichand), an orphan raised by M.S. Narayana always craves to be a Police Officer and he becomes one. His intensity, dedication and straight forwardness gains him respect from his seniors and soon he starts running a cell that specializes in killing the gang members of two gangs – Talwar Gang and Khaled Gang. How does this honest police officer try to get on top of these gangs forms the rest of the story.

What is Good: The film draws from a lot of Ram Gopal Varma’s films, especially ‘Satya’ ‘Company’ and ‘Ab Tak Chappan’ (RGV’s production house)! But where it separates itself from them is how the ingredients of a commercial Telugu film – dialogues, songs, love story, guns, and twists - are utilized to make this character study an interesting film. Gopichand’s intensity is already proven and his acting abilities are used to the maximum in this film. His love interest Pavitra Priyamani) doesn’t hinder the film’s flow. Infact her character lends subtext to the film - Why a girl hating police falls for one? Welcome to the subtle subtext Tollywood. But what is noticeable though is how Puri's heroines who generally are dumb ('Idiot','Pokiri' or 'Bujjigadu'), are coming to their own from 'Ek Niranjan'. They have a life, and their life isn't only dependent on the hero, much like Sekhar Kammula's heroines. Priyamani’s constant talking into her mobile to a certain Gopi is rib-tickling, and this thread continues to entertain the audiences even in the climax of the film! Looks like Puri must have taken this thread leaf out of SS Rajamouli's films! Also there are emotional scenes that come in from where you least expect them. Priymani keeps her act decent, and Roja plays a character where she showcases her histrionics well. Ali, in a very small role and Nazar as a Police Officer do well too. The fast pace of the film is an asset to it.

What is bad: To be honest the pace of the film hardly allows you to notice bad scenes if there are any, but this is the intelligence of the director. However, in order to showcase the smartness of its lead protagonist, the film portrays both police officers and mafia leaders as plain stupid in more than one scene. Also if you have seen Pokiri and are a huge fan of RGV films mentioned above, you wouldn't mind telling yourself that you have seen more than good part of the film! And while Chakri’s music is enjoyable, atleast two songs are straight copies of world hit numbers. Question here is - does anyone acknowledge them?

Technical Departments: Sham K Naidu’s cinematography is terrific in action sequences, especially those that involve a gun. For a moment you will wish you had a gun with you! Rerecording is appreciable. Dialouges carry the punch that Puri might have missed in his last film. Though it doesn’t matter a lot, a scene in which there are a few ‘sms’ exchanged between characters and the way they are presented on screen does mean that Telugu cinema is trying to ape Hollywood better. Bottomline: Most Telugu action films portray the hero as a morally right person. While ‘Golimaar’ does that too, it takes a more practical approach. Just look at the way how an inspector deals with a ‘brothel’ case. The puns on Media, Police and some international gangsters are so good you would be so verily enjoying them that you would miss the point! Another good thing about the film is its director Puri Jagannath. Looks like he is not afraid of sub-text, nor giving some character to his heroine. Go ahead Puri, we hope your 'Business' and 'Budda' actually happen! If you could call ‘Desperado’ a stylish take on a ‘Western Spaghetti’, you could as well call this film a typical 'Telugu Film Style' take on a cop story! Go watch it, why miss the ‘gun and pun’ fun? P.S : Can we call this film Puri's Best Till Date?!

0 Releasing Today: Gopichand and Puri's Golimaar

Twitter has become the platform for many funny things for celebrities and film stars. Now this is about Siddharth who is mixing up pulihara with Jr NTR. Well, ‘mixing pulihara’ is a modern idiom that is being used to connote ‘curry favor’ or ‘sycophancy’.

0 Rajamouli Becomes Brand Ambassador For VODKA

The tough taskmaster S S Rajamouli is one man who has become the source of inspiration for many aspiring directors. In fact, even the existing directors tend to take a leaf or two out of his box and see him as a role model. Right now, he seems to have become a brand ambassador for Vodka.

Incidentally, Rajamouli was sharing his thoughts on the famous networking site Twitter. He has recently joined it and has been enjoying writing down his thoughts. He revealed how vodka shots were forced into his mouth by NTR junior and Charan during the former’s birthday party.

With vodka finding its way into Rajamouli’s network, many are seeing this as a good marketing thing for the Vodka people. Though he mentioned it in a rather lighter vein, some of the ‘Mandhu Babulu’ are happy to see that even the tough taskmaster has joined their league.

0 Jr NTR’s ‘Kathi’ Becomes Ravi Teja’s ‘Mirapakaya’

It is a rather interesting story of how few movies tend to change their titles according to the heroes but still manage to get a good response. Here is a good example of one such film but then there was a real good reason for that. It all started with power star Pawan Kalyan.

Once the story was ready, the makers went to Pawan but then, it seems that he said no citing other commitments, the film was then held for a while. Later, the makers went to NTR jr and he said no due to clash of dates and other shooting problems. The film was then titled ‘Kathi’.

Eventually, it came to Ravi Teja and true to his appeal, the film has been titled ‘Mirapakaya’. This is being directed by Harish Shankar while Ramesh Pushpala is the producer. Reliable sources say that this is a very interesting and powerful story that’s going to be a rocking entertainer.
