How Priyamani escaped from Ragging?

If college days were the best part of life, Priyamani got to relive the fun times while shooting for Ninaithaale Inikkum She plays the role of a college girl and “thoroughly enjoyed herself”. Reminiscing her college days, she says, “During my first year in college, I escaped getting ragged. I was advised to stick with a large group of girls and I did just that. So, I blended in with the crowd.” But during her second year, it was a different story. “I had a little fun with the juniors,” she admits, “But it was all in good humour.” She was also a student who was in the forefront of college activities. “I represented the arts section in my first year, but election time was the most fun. I remember going to every class, canvassing for votes. The way this is captured in NI is just the way it happened in my college.”

Natasha’s swimming hottest scene in AAMRAS

The standout face of the AAMRAS promos, Ntasha Bhardwaj, is going places with just her first venture. Not only does she have a good screen presence but the MSW student comes across as a very intelligent girl. And we got ample proof of that when we asked the pretty lass about the buzz surrounding her swimming scene in AAMRAS and that it has been edited. Ntasha clarified, ’'I won’t put it like that. Yes, it has been partially edited, I will be seen emerging out of the swimming pool, but the focus is on my face. The reason for this is that the film carries a ’U’ certificate and the makers wanted to keep the innocence of the movie intact as they do not want to lose out on the youth audience. Whatever has been done is for the betterment of the movie.’’ Wisely put indeed. We get a sense of what Ntasha is trying to say and agree with her as well as the makers’ logic and reasoning.

'Sankham' Review

Film: SankhamRating: 2.75/5Cast: Gopichand, Trisha, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Supreet, Satyaraj, Krishna Bhagawan, Ali, Chandramohan, Srinivas Reddy, LB Sriram, Subbaraya Sharma, Telangana Sakunthala etcMusic: ThamanCinematography: VetriProducers: J Bhagawan, J Pulla RaoDirector: ‘Souryam’ SivaRelease Date: 11th Sep 2009

The combination of Gopichand and Trisha has been in discussions from quite some time. The film arrived at last today. Let us see how the output is.
Story:Chandu (Gopichand) lives in Sydney along with his age-old bachelor uncle (Chandramohan). Mahalakshmi (Trisha) lives with her uncle and aunt (Dharmavarapu and Rajitha) and works in a bakery which happens to her uncle’s business. Chandu develops crush on Mahalakshmi for a dramatic reason and slowly she too reciprocates for him. But Mahalaksmi is forcibly carried to Cuddapah by her another aunt (Telangana Shakunthala) and the real faction story runs behind her.

Chandu is the son of Sivayya (Satyaraj) and Mahalakshmi is the daughter of Pasupathi (Kota). A strong rivalry burns between Pasupathi and Sivayya. Chandu believes that his father was dead for many years. Why he believes so? Who makes him believe so? What’s the rivalry between Pasupathi and Sivayya? Why Chandu lives in Sydney? The answers for all these will be unleashed on silver screen.

Performances:Gopichand: He was given a cosmopolitan look in bigger way than in any other film. It has been a widely spread assumption that Gopichand fits well only for mass rugged roles. Some exercise to prove that wrong is apparently seen in first few minutes of this film. But the make up is like paint on his face which didn’t gel well. Once again he proved that he is the man with macho look carrying on a perfect bearing and dialogue rendition.
Trisha: She is at her best. She gained little weight and perfectly in tune with the taste of majority Telugu audiences. She has delivered best of her performance too.

Satya Raj is good in his elderly role while Kota also grooved well although he did hundreds of such characters earlier. Ali’s comedy has no constructive sequence but his style and presence have brought countless laughs in theatres. Krishna Bhagawan appeared in a small side kick role and could bring little laughs. Telangana Sakunthala is routine. Srinivas Reddy tried to bring some laughs in first half.

Music is very mundane, dialogues are routine with no sparks to underline, Cinematography is good and sound effects are average. On a whole the screenplay is straight and flat. Director could have worked more on the departments of dialogues, music and developing voltage in narration. Especially the scene where Satya Raj discovers his son in battered condition is very weak and couldn’t bring in any emotion in audiences.

Analysis:The movie lacked required voltage and hence it’s average. Director concentrated well on the aspects of framing and bringing richness on to celluloid but didn’t bother much about narration.
Bricks and cement can make a mansion. But not when they are just made a heap. Engineering is required to make use of them in right way to build a mansion. Similarly a few comedy scenes, a few action elements and a little sentiment mounded like a heap will not be sufficient to bring out a commercial entertainer. They need to be rightly placed with right intensity and right flow. That is missing here.
The major pulling factor for this movie is Trisha. Gopichand fans expect energy and hence return back half hearted.

Ram Charan launches 'Kurradu' music

Music of Kurradu starring Varun Sandesh and Neha Sharma in the lead roles was launched today (September 10, 2009).

Ram Charan wished the team all the best. “I know Sandeep for a long time. When I came to know that he went for Los Angeles for film studies, I thought he might settle there. Thankfully, he is back to here and making debut in Telugu as director. I am sure he would live up to the expectations he carries as his father Gunnam Gangaraju made some of the memorable films. Varun Sandesh is a good friend and it is nice to see him in a mass oriented role for the first time,” Charan said.
Puri informed that the film’s title Kurradu was his original choice for his film with Ram Charan Tej. “I wanted to put it as Kurradu with the tagline of Low Class. But we came up with the name Chirutha later. I still like this title Kurradu. I am sure this film would succeed in big way,” Puri said.
Rajamouli said: “Kurralloyi Kurraloyi is one of my all time favorite songs. I liked this new version in this film also this other melody played here is also good. I wish music director Achchu all the best. He has given good music in his first film.”
Keeravani informed that the music director Achchu is son of his guru Rajavannan. “I learnt a lot from his father. So I am confident that Achchu would make his name in music industry,” he wished.

‘Ganesh’ hopes to recreate the magic of ‘Nuvve Kaavali’

There is gaiety all around. Hundreds of men, women, and children in colourful costumes gathered before the huge idol of Lord Ganesha forming the procession to immerse the idol as part of the Vinayaka Chathurthi festivities. Leading the celebration is a young man bubbling with energy belting out a song and dancing to the beat. A closer look reveals that it is Ram, the hero of Devadas and Ready. He is enacting the scene for uncle Ravikishore's Ganesh at an impressive outdoor set created at the sprawling Saradhi Studios. Choreographer Prem Rakshit and his assistants were helping the hero and the dancers with the dance movements, while debut director Saravanan monitors the sequence on the screen placed at a distance away from the field. Heroine Kajal Agarwal is to join in for the next verse of the song .The unit returned after filming major portions at Araku valley and Visakhapatnam. Earlier three romantic duets were shot on Ram and Kajal in scenic Switzerland. Interestingly all these three places are Ram's favourite holiday spots too. With all round bonhomie, Ravikishore gives his unit members the feel of a picnic each time they film shoot. And he knows how to extract the best out of every member of his production team. But this is one film that he says he is making with a lot of passion. "It is like reliving the days when we made Nuvve Kaavali. I find the same positive vibrations that we experienced while making that big hit. You can see that feel in this movie too," he says.The focus shifts to Ram.

You wonder if it is like 'My name is Bond… James Bond' The protagonist in Ganesh is a romantic, lover boy and a responsible youngster with a mission. Twenty six kids act along with him in the movie. Ravikishore says that after Anjali this is a social film where one can find so many child actors in stellar roles. "Ram provides great entertainment in their company. Ram has a large fan following among children", he observes. It is his 30th production under Sravanthi banner. The wholesome entertainer is slated for release on September 24.

KVP convinces ministers

The re-swearing-in ceremony of Rosaiah Cabinet would have become controversial but for the timely intervention of the high command and of course, K V P Ramachandra Rao, advisor to late CM Y S Rajasekhara Reddy. In the morning, a few ministers expressed their reluctance to be sworn in, as they wanted Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy to be declared the Chief Minister. “I don’t feel like being a minister without YSR. I wish Jagan takes over as the Chief Minister,” minister D K Aruna said. Others like Jupalli Krishna Rao, Konda Surekha, Ahmedulla and P Ramachandra Reddy also expressed similar opinion. This led to speculations that some of them might abstain from swearing-in. However, the situation changed by evening. The Congress high command sent a message to all the ministers through late Rajasekhara Reddy’s advisor K V P Ramachandra Rao that they should take oath. Minutes before the swearing in ceremony, KVP held a meeting of all the ministers at his residence and told them that abstaining would send wrong signals to the party cadres and that it amounted to defying the party directive.

Shilpa, Bipasha, the powerpuff girls!

Shilpa Shetty’s home production starring Bipasha Basu has been revived; the two actresses will undergo special training for the action film. What’s been stopping many female-oriented projects is the supposed commercial non feasibility of a chick flick. But now, Bollywood divas are all set to make it happen for themselves. The Bipasha Basu-Shilpa Shetty project which was put on the backburner because of the recession is now being revived due to the warm vibes that the two actresses shared while shooting for Farah Khan’s talk show. The film has been under wraps but secretly Shilpa’s plans for a home production have been crystallising. While one Shilpa Shetty-Raj Kundra production is being planned to re-launch Shilpa’s sister Shamita, the other is an action film that Shilpa will be doing with Bipasha. Shilpa and Bipasha will have to undergo special training to acquire the agility to look convincing as action queens. Interestingly, the film is being written and directed by Manish Jha, who has earlier directed Matrubhoomi, a film on female foeticide. Bipasha, who is looking forward to the film, says, “If everything works out properly, I would love to work with Shilpa. She’s a terrific person but doing the film depends on budget, and a host of other things.” While commercial non-feasibility of female-oriented projects is a common thing in Bollywood, things are slowing changing. Apart from Shilpa’s film, Shristi Behl is all set to cast Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif in a desi adaptation of the Anne Hathaway-Kate Hudson Hollywood starrer, Bride Wars. Also, Katrina, who has bought the rights of a female-oriented French film, has asked Dibakar Banerjee to direct it. Katrina had earlier told Mumbai Mirror, “I don’t want to talk about it until I lock in all the details. I don’t want my idea to be used by anyone else. As for the director, I’m not saying anything. But this is a role I haven’t done before.”(B101)
