Puri Jagannath Into YSR Congress Party

Popular director Puri Jagannath is a sympathizer of YSR's family and today that was shown openly. YS Vijayamma and Sharmila resided at Puri Jagannath's house in Narsipatnam during the campaign followed by Jagan's arrest.

Puri Jagannath didn't keep it in close circuit but happily shared in twitter saying, "Vijayamma n sharmila r staying in my house tonight in Narsipatnam . I'm so happy for this coz we all love their family".

We have to see if Puri joins YSRCP in near future, officially.

Mohan Babu Joining YSR Cong!!??

The episode of Y S Jagan's arrest is the hottest and latest topic of discussion among many circles. This is also the right time to see who are the true supporters to the YS family. And here is something very interesting.

KVP Ramachandra Rao, considered a close confidante of the late YSR is not to be seen. Even his wife Sunita who was often seen next to Vijayamma is also absent. But one man seems to be clear with his thoughts. He is none other than Mohan Babu.

The recent visits of Jagan to Mohan Babu has reportedly prompted him to join the YSR Congress party and start campaigning from June onwards. The collection king reportedly dicussed this with his followers in Chittoor and is expected to make an announcement soon.

Given the fact that Jagan is the cousin of Viraanica, Mohan Babu's daughter-in-law this is likely to materialize. The other day, sources say Mohan Babu stayed away from the platinum disc celebrations of 'Adhinayakudu' since Vijayamma was doing fasting and he didn't want to be part of any celebrations. The coming days are going to be crucial if Mohan Babu takes a call on his political sojourn.

Allu's Cool Debut With Hot Beauty!!!

The time has come to welcome yet another star kid into the Tollywood circuit and unlike others, his father happens to be a mighty producer and his brother is a big hero. We are talking about the arrival of Allu Sirish and he is all set to make his foray with the bilingual movie Gauravam.

This is directed by Radha Mohan and here is the best part. Sirish is pairing up with the gorgeously beautiful Yami Gautam who scored a major hit in Bollywood with the film Vicky Donor. If you can recall, Ram Charans debut film had Neha Sharma as the leading lady but didnt get positive feedback.

Same happened with Allu Arjun whose debut film had Aditi Agarwal as the leading lady. But Sirish turned out to be different. He has gone in for a fabulous heroine and that too with a bilingual. Who knows, this little lad might emerge as the biggest star among the mega family within a short span. The film is made under the banner of Duet Movies owned by Prakash Raj.

SRK mum on Poonam Pandey's dare-bare act

Mumbai: Poonam Pandey tweeted a nude picture to celebrate Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) winning the fifth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), but co-owner Shah Rukh Khan has refrained from commenting on this.

"When we won the (cricket) World Cup all our friends went out in cars waving our flag....when KKR won I did a cartwheel...everyone has their own way of expressing happiness..I can't comment on this," Shah Rukh told reporters here Wednesday.

KKR won against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) the IPL-5 final in Chennai Sunday night.

Post that, Poonam had posted her nude picture on Twitter, which showed her laying nude on her stomach, wearing a pair of black heels. She had accessorised her bare look with black beads on her wrist and a black neckpiece.

Before posting her picture, she had tweeted: "Wowwwwwwwwwwww what ever team I support always wins #IPL #KKR #SRK so as I promised, a pic is on its way."

Rajamouli Says Prabhudeva Is Gentleman

Rajamouli cleared the airs circulating around the copyright holder of jinthatha mannerism in Vikramarkudu. Many felt that Prabhudeva has lifted the credit of that mannerism in Bollywood for Rowdy Rathore, without giving courtesy to Rajamouli or Kannan who was believed to have invented that.

But Rajamouli tweeted long saying, Vikramarkudu rights were officially acquired by the Hindi producer long back. Jinthatha mannerism was neither invented by me nor Kannan. It is practiced by students of certain colleges in TN. Kannan told me about it and I thought it would make a nice mannerism for Raviteja. So Prabhu Master needn't give credit to anyone. But being a gentleman he called me to invite to the party and said I was the reason for Rowdy Rathore.

So now, the curtains are down for this controversy.

Prabhu Deva's sons not allowed to party with SRK

As Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan partied the night away at Prabhu Deva's home in Chennai after Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) title win in the Indian Premier League (IPL), it was Prabhu Deva's two young sons who were missing from the party.

They were obediently asleep in one corner of the house as the celebrity revellers partied on Sunday (May 27) night.

"How could they join us? They're too young to party with us. They don't know who Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar are. They don't know who the invitees were. If they did, they might have revolted against my decision that they sleep and insisted on joining us," said the actor-filmmaker.

Since there is no lady in Prabhu Deva's house, as he is divorced and reports are that that he split from his long time girlfriend Nayanthara, all the party's arrangements were made by his friends.

He is also busy with the promotions of his directorial Rowdy Rathore.

"I've been running around for the release of Rowdy Rathore. Thankfully, I've good friends who took care of all the party details. We felt we were part of history. Shah Rukh's victory in the IPL was celebrated in my house. I feel blessed," Prabhu Deva said.

Meanwhile, the buzz in tinsel town is growing stronger that Akshay and Shah Rukh Khan are inching towards a movie partnership. They've been seen bonding together recently on more occasions than one. Recently, they were seen bonding at an IPL match in Pune as well.

And then Sunday night, they partied together. The wonder-struck host still can't get over it.

"It was historic. I had thrown a pre-release party for my Rowdy Rathore team. Akshay and Sonakshi (Sinha) had flown down to Chennai by a chartered plane. How were we to know that Shah Rukh's grand historic win would happen and he would decide spontaneously join us when we invited him, just like that," said Prabhu Deva.

He says Shah Rukh Khan was at the party for 45 minutes.

"He was so full of energy. He chatted, danced, made all of us feel good," he added.

Other guests at the party were Riteish Deshmukh and wife Genelia D'Souza, Rana Daggubati and director Shankar.

Stop 'Adhinayakudu' release: YSRCP tells EC

YSR Congress party on Wednesday filed a petition with the Election Commission requesting it to stop release of Nandamuri Balakrishnas latest film Adhinayakudu till the completion of by-elections in the state.

The film, which is slated for release all over the state and abroad on June 1, reportedly contains several objectionable dialogues indirectly referring to YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.

One such dialogue of Balayya goes like this: Manchi Nayakudu prajala gundello undaali kaani roadla meeda kaadu; ee vigraha rajakeeyalu enduku modalu pettavo chebutaava leka cheppincha mantaava? (A good leader should be kept in the hearts of the people but not on the roads. Will you tell or shall I make you tell why you have started this statue politics?). Needless to say, this dialogue has a reference to Jagan who went on YSR statue installation spree across the state.

The YSR Congress party leaders also took objection to Balayyas recent statement that he might not be able to campaign in the by-elections due to busy schedule, but his film Adhinayakudu itself is a campaign for the TDP in the by-elections.

I am sending the film Adhinayukud into the people to convey my message. There is no need for any separate campaign in the by-elections, he said.

Father Is In Higher Speed Than Daughter

When a family filled with film celebrities is involved, it is natural to see who is getting the maximum attention from the public. And in one case, it is surprising to see that the father is in a higher speed than the daughter. We are talking about the Manchu family and the duo of Mohan Babu and Lakshmi Manchu.

The venue is the Twitter network. Apparently, Mohan Babu keeps giving tweets on and off but in terms of following many seem to be crazy about him. He has already got 90000 followers after joining the medium recently. As for Lakshmi Manchu, she had crossed the 1 lakh club recently.

But the rate at which Mohan Babus followers are growing, he would cross her soon. Incidentally, the daughter is young, beautiful and even gone to Bollywood whereas the father is a senior citizen, hardly seen in films anymore and hardly tweets too. But ultimately, he is proving that he is a collection king not just at box office but also in twitter.

Siddharth Started Loving Sexy Actress

The noted actor Siddharth is known not just for his talented performances but also for his handsome looks that makes him a Chukkallo Chandrudu among girls and ladies. On the other hand, with social media networking on a rampage, Sidz has been making maximum use of it sharing his thoughts.

Now, it is heard that Sidz is making news for his admiration towards an actress. She happens to be Anjali, the girl from Journey who stole the hearts of many Telugu audiences. It is heard that recently Siddharth got to watch the Tamil movie Kalakalappu which has Anjali and applauded it as a superb movie.

While the movie has been declared a success, Sidz from his end has reportedly shared thoughts with his friends that he liked Anjali and her performance. It is heard that he was mentioning What a beautiful girl she isthe right mix of natural sex appeal and strong performance quotient. Wonder what Anjali has to say to this.

Why To Attack Comedian AVS?

The wise men say that empty vessels make more noise and there are many examples one can find in the filmnagar circuit. The general talk among public is that one among them is comedian AVS. After being unable to bag roles or directorial chances, it is heard that he has been doing some work or the other at the MAA Office.

Not stopping at that he has now introduced Blog Buster awards. Well, AVS has been writing some blog (avsfilm.in) and he wants to give awards based on the opinion poll of those who visit his blog. Though he has made tall claims about huge traffic to his blog, inside talk is that all this is just humbug.

But the point is, why are so many attacking AVS? What he is doing is out of passion towards cinema industry. One way or the other he wants to make his presence felt. Since he is doing something good and positive he can be encouraged and allowed to let him do his job. Since his concept is new, let us wish it works for him.

Ex Heroine's Daughter Became A Fire Brand

Whenever a star kid is starting his/her journey in the film industry, the path ahead is quite challenging. Though they get an easy entry, meeting up with expectations and comparisons is not easy. So, the best option for them is to be part of many projects and make their presence felt.

However, it appears that this ex-heroines daughter feels otherwise. We are talking about Karthika, daughter of yesteryears beauty Radha. Well, news is that recently Karthika was roped in as the leading lady for a Tamil movie starring Vishal. This was directed by Sundar C, a veteran and husband of Khushbu.

But then, the update is that Karthika has walked out of the project citing there was no scope of performance in that role and it was just a glamour doll character. At a time when she is in desperate need of good hits, Karthikas move zapped the Tamil Thambis. Only the coming days will reveal the after-effects of this decision.

Harish Shankar And Srinu Vaitla In HD

The career graph of a director can be the most unpredictable. While one flop can make them pack their bags for a long time, one hit can change their fortunes overnight and make them famous. And currently, two names are being discussed a lot in the Tollywood circuit.

They are the duo of Harish Shankar and Srinu Vaitla. Sources say both are in High Demand. It is heard that offers are coming to them with anywhere between Rs 5 cr to Rs 10 cr remuneration. On the other hand, many are giving full advances to the duo and booking their dates for the next three to four years.

Buzz is that the duo is keeping their advances with them and depositing in bank. The interest they are getting is being put as savings. So, if film doesnt work they can return the principal to the investors and they would still have a good chunk of interest to lead a comfortable life.

Censor Board Shocked With 'Adhinayakudu' Boothulu

The clock is ticking for the film Adhinayakudu to hit the screens on June 1st. This has been in the pipeline since quite a while and after several hiccups and issues, it has finally come to see the light. But before that, it appears that the film has got enough landmines that shocked even the censor board.

Well, it is heard that there are too many Boothulu in the film and many cuttings have taken place. One among them is the dialogue- artipandu saripoledenti donda pandutho saripettukundaam from a girl. It is heard that there are foul words like L-kodaka, K- Na kodaka which had to be deleted.

There is also news that one dialogue related to Uchcha is there and it had to be deleted twice. All in all, the film seems to have got several bandages due to so many Boothu cuttings. Despite that, the inside talk is that the film has enough ammunition from Balakrishna to appeal his fans and the masses.

Seetarama Sastry's Dreams May Not Come True

Just recently the copyright amendment bill was introduced in parliament and it got a clearance of sorts. Our very own Seetarama Sastry had reportedly teamed up with Javed Akhtar to state that lyricists should get royalty from audio companies or producers if they have the rights of the songs which are written.

The royalty should come whenever a caller tune, ringtone is downloaded or if it gets broadcast in radio or TV. Whatever share the owners get some part should come to lyricists is the contention. Javed Akhtar managed to pass the copyright bill in the parliament. If it is implemented, Sastry and other big lyricists will get big money in future.

But producers and music companies are not agreeing to this proposal. They said When we build a home we call different people like carpenters, masons, coolies and pay them for what they have done. Later we give the home for rent. Does it mean we should give part of the rent also to all of them? Already they are taking lakhs. Instead, they can work on percentage then its fine. Moreover, today lyricists will demand and tomorrow music directors, musicians and everyone will demand. What should we get? Big companies like T-series where will they go? Even if it passes it would be challenged.

FB, Twitter And Youtube: Danger Bells

These are the days of social media networking and the presence has become so strong that even the most powerful and famous also use them. Notable among them are three entities. They are Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. However, it is now heard that they are posing as danger bells to many.

Recently a motion study analysis has been conducted across few noted software companies. It is heard that during office hours, these three are eating away time and no one is working. As a result, many companies have begun to block the three networks. However that is not stopping the users.

They are using their smartphone devices and I-phones and getting connected. So the companies have gone a step ahead and even they are not being used. The managements have revealed that the average work output is getting affected in an alarming way.

The motion study is conducted to check as to in a span of eight hours, what is the quality output of an employee. If he is delivering only 1 hour then what is the use? Nominal wastage is okay but not so much. So now, strict measures are being taken by companies to put a check on these three.

Prabhudeva's Shameless Act!!

Director Rajamouli has come up with many successful ventures in his career and the thing that sets him apart is his urge to do something different and creative in every film of his. This is what led to the creation of the famous Jinthaa thaa chitha chitha from his super hit movie Vikramarkudu.

However, it is now heard that the due credit for that has been stolen by Prabhudeva. Apparently, Prabhu is arriving with the remake of Vikramarkudu titled as Rowdy Rathore in Hindi and he used the Jinthaa thaa mannerism in this film too. While that is okay, here is the twist.

Sources from Mumbai reveal Prabhudeva has been claiming that was his invention and hogging the credit. While that has been getting him closer to the big guns of Bollywood, the fact remains that it was Rajamouli's assistant Kannan (director of Sarayi Veerraaju) who invented it. It is time for Prabhudeva to show some authenticity.

Ram Charan Should Learn From Jr NTR

Being a superstar is not just about acting well and scoring hits at the box office. It is also about carrying yourself in the right way off the screen too. That is because superstars are role models to many in the society and their actions tend to set an example for others.

However, it appears that Ram Charan is one lad who is yet to learn that properly. Time and again, Charan has been flayed for his impulsive statements, especially in Twitter. Yet again, he came up with a statement which raised eyebrows. Well, Charan mentioned about how the government has shown spine by arresting Jagan.

As such, it is his father who is in politics and he must be the right person to make a statement not Charan. Right from the distributors to producers along with film fraternity, they are not too happy with Charans tweet. On the other hand, Junior NTR came to address the media during NTR Jayanthi. He maintained his poise and didnt make a single comment. When what should be spoken is something Charan should learn from his good friend NTR.

Sunny Leone Shocked Seeing Indian Ladies

The adult star Sunny Leone who is a big name in the porn industry is currently enjoying a celebrity status in India and even without stripping properly, she is being treated like a queen. She is now preparing to arrive with her debut Bollywood venture Jism 2 and meanwhile, it is heard that Sunny had few shocks.

Apparently, Poonam Pandey stripped completely naked and put her picture up in twitter. She reportedly mentioned that this is what I promised and went total nude. Before her, Sherlyn Chopra is always ready to drop her bikini and bra at the drop of a hat. Now, looking at them Sunny got shocked.

According to her, she thought Indian ladies are very traditional and they never pose nude. But it is heard that director Mahesh Bhatt educated her stating They are looking at you and competing with you. And thats why all this shedding of clothes is happening. Of course, it will be an interesting duel if Sunny goes completely nude. Can Poonam or Sherlyn withstand it?

Navel Show Over- Now Thigh Exhibition

The biggest attraction for the masses when they watch a film onscreen is the heroine and her beauty spots. Thats why a lot of efforts are put in shaping up the navels of the leading ladies in the most attractive way. And here is one starlet who has given a complete navel feast so far and moved to another zone.

We are talking about Tamannah and this milky white beauty has transformed from a demure girl of Happy Days to a hot sizzler of Badrinath. Now, after imprinting her coin shaped navel, Tammu seems to be focusing on teasing the men with her thigh show. Lately, her costumes have been revealing a lot of her legs.

Given her complexion and the well toned figure, the luscious thigh show of Tamannah has become the biggest attraction for the viewers, especially the Nela Ticket audience. Sitting in the front rows at theatres, when they watch Tammu walking towards the camera, they are experiencing ecstasy of the highest order looking at her juicy legs.

'Balayya! Why You Are Not In Jail'

Balayya gave a statement that one who commits crime deserves jail. He said this while commenting on Jagan's arrest.

Listening to this a Jagan sympathizer said, "Why Balayya is not in jail? He dug bullets in Bellamkonda and Satyanarayana Chowdary's body but safely sat at NIMS with the blessings of YSR. Later, a security guard was killed in Balayya's house suspiciously that was over looked. Balayya touched the feet of YSR along with Chandrababu and now giving a statement like a lion talking about vegetarianism".

Indeed, film actors Ram Charan and Balayya are not using brains before they speak, is the talk everywhere.

Asin Tried Level Best With Cleavage

Heroines and skin show go hand in hand but when it came to the Malayalam girl Asin, she had a strong set of reservations. That was one reason why the south circuit never got to see her sexy side. But all her reservations and strictness crumbled when she stepped into Bollywood.

Today, there is hardly a time when Asin is not seen in short skirts exposing her legs. As if that is not enough, here is an interesting byte. Reports from Mumbai reveal that recently Asin tried her level best to grab the eyeballs of the onlookers by giving the best view of her cleavage.

All this happened at the birthday bash of the noted filmmaker Karan Johar. Buzz is that Asin was seen sporting a bare shouldered cocktail gown and the deep valley of her cleavage was quite prominent. As such, Asin has a buxom Malayalam figure so her voluptuous cleavage was a sight to relish. Let us wait to see if this will result in any juicy projects for her or not.

Rana's Love For Beautiful Aunties

Daggubati Rana who made his entry into cinema industry as a hero wore the most promising look. Given his personality and his strikingly handsome looks, he was expected to shoot like a comet to superstardom. Well, that has not happened so far but his name has shot to fame in the gossip columns.

Yes, Rana has achieved stardom in his linkups with ladies. Interestingly, Rana seems to have got this thing for beautiful aunties. For starters, many believed that Rana and the Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu had something strong between them. Despite several denials, this link was not broken.

While that has calmed down a bit, Rana has been making headlines for his bonding with another lady. She is Trisha. Apparently, Rana and his equations with his 3 AM friend are churning out some juicy gossips. The talk that recently Rana rushed to Bangkok to celebrate the birthday of Trisha adds more oil to the fire. Thats Rana for you folks!!

Oberoi was Sanjay's 'evil disease': RGV

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who lashed out at Sanjay Dutt and swore never to work with him, after the release of "Department", seems to be extending an olive branch to the actor.

Varma blames Dharam Oberoi, CEO of Sanjay's production company, for the debacle of the "Department", claiming he interfered a lot during the making of the film. However, the filmmaker is now happy that the actor has been removed from his company.

"Don't know if Dharam is out of Sanjay's life but if true it's the best news I heard because he's more dangerous for Sanjay than the 1993 blast case," Varma tweeted.

"More than for sorting out my differences with Sanjay I am happy that the evil disease is out of Sanjay's life," he added.

Will 'Daruvu' Takes 'Gabbar Singh' To Rs 73 Cr?

The success run of the film Gabbar Singh still continues and at one point, many thought that the brakes would be applied with the arrival of the film Daruvu. However, the Ravi Teja starrer has tanked big time at the box office and Gabbar Singh collections still continue to be strong.

This has given rise to a new thought. Can Gabbar Singh touch Rs 73 crores share? So far, it is Magadheera which has been standing first with Rs 72 crores share. And despite reaching the third week, there are still housefuls happening across many theatres which is raising the hopes of the market analysts.

On the other hand, the estimation is that the film will reach anywhere between Rs 60 cr to Rs 70 cr but getting past Magadheera might be difficult. That way, Dookudu will have to step aside and give its position to Gabbar. For now, the bombing of Daruvu has surely boosted the collections of Gabbar Singh.

Ileana Is No More A Hot Darling

Speaking about some of the top league heroines of Tollywood, the name of Ileana stands apart. In a way, she is senior to the likes of Kajal and Tamannah. More than that, she has been blessed with the sexiest hips that the Indian audience has ever seen. That has made her the hot darling to all.

However, it appears that all those days of glory for Ileana are coming to an end. For some reason, Ileana has begun to slim down her figure and right now she looks thin like a reed. The biggest shock came to all when they saw Ileana in Snehitudu and called her as Cheekesina Ice Pulla.

At that point, Ileana reportedly responded to the feedback and assured that she would put on some weight like Kick but in vain. The latest stills of her new movie Julaayi have revealed that Ileana still looks starved and lost those glorious hips and choking thighs. Perhaps it is time for her to get a wakeup call.

Is Balayya Doing Right Thing?

It must be said that among the senior heroes of the Tollywood circuit, the only man who still has a strong line of mass following and the potential to score a bumper hit is Nandamuri Balakrishna. But there is one thing which has turned mysterious about him. It is his choice of directors and films.

Barring Simha, the last few films of Balayya have been with senior citizen directors like Dasari Narayana Rao, Bapu and K Raghavendra Rao. Not stopping at that, there is now news that Balayya is likely to tie up with Singeetam Srinivasa Rao for the sequel of his super hit movie Aditya 369.

While it is an appreciable thing to see Balayya respecting these veterans, the question remains as to how this would help his career. Though he has passed his prime, Balayya sure has enough ammunition to run the show for another two years. Will he make good use of it?

Photo feature: Posed Full Nude, At Last

At last, Poonam Pandey, the lady who promised that she would strip tease if India wins in World Cup has posed nude now. She posted this on twitter saying, here is a Pic as I PROMISED

Poonam has been attracting the attention of the people and media just by throwing these nude tantrums all these months. Now the day has come for those who love to relish her nudity.

Ram Charan's Comment On YS Jagan

Ram Charan is a kid in Tollywood and he is in the process of growing in his career. His father is in politics now and has been facing the toughest insults that he never expected. How Ram Charan is concerned with politics to speak something on pubic platform?

Just after a few minutes after Jagans arrest he tweeted, Finally, the govt has proved its capability!.

People are making fun of Ram Charan with this.

Some are saying that this guy has got no time to tweet about Gabbar Singhs success, but found time to tweet on some unnecessary thing.

Pawan Kalyan fans are venting their anger on Ram Charan that way while Ram Charan fans are burning with grief reading this tweet, knowing that their star did a foolish act.

"Well Ram Charan! Why didn't you tweet about Rs 80 Cr IT raid on your sister's house?" expressed a fan.

Shruthi Haasan's Sister Getting Ready

The concept of sibling rivalry doesnt really work in the film industry since the market potential and opportunities are quite vast. Moreover, it is more like market sharing if two members from the same family get into the acting or any other craft of movie circuit. And that seems to have prompted a star sister.

We are talking about Akshara Haasan, sister of Shruti Haasan. Reports from Chennai reveal that Akshara is currently going through makeovers and is likely to make her debut into films as an actress. Apparently, sources say she was quite keen on becoming a director despite possessing a natural beauty.

If one can recall, when Karisma Kapoor was at the peak of her career, Kareena came. When Kajal Agarwal was at the peak her sister Nisha Agarwal came. Right now, Shruti is also at peak so it is time for Akshara to arrive. Buzz is that this is the plan their mommy Sarika has been making. Wonder what Daddy Kamal Haasan has to say to this.

Sonakshi In Telugu Beside Ravi Teja?

One of the most promising and sought after heroines in the Bollywood circuit is Sonakshi Sinha and this girl has got a flurry of big projects alongside some of the biggest stars in Mumbai. And now, it looks like she might just be making her debut in Tollywood and that too with our Mass Maharaja.

We are talking about Ravi Teja and his new movie Saar Osthara. Apparently, the film has been going through few hiccups as far as the leading lady goes after the likes of Amala Paul and Trisha backed out. However, the makers have decided to take it a new level by eyeing the Bollywood heroines.

So now, unit members reveal that efforts have begun to get Sonakshi Sinha to be the leading lady. But there are those who say it is not that easy to get her. For now, the makers are reportedly positive about convincing her and are willing to shell whatever she demands. Will Sonakshi come for Saar Osthara, let us see.

RGV Coming Up With 'Rendo Department'

RGVs Department that was released 10 days back hasnt shown the expected result at box office. The failure was attributed to cameras by some and content by others. But RGV has a point that he had shot the original version of Department with full tight packed narration, but it got loosened and weakened with the fingering by others in the team. Hence he is coming up with original version of the film in Telugu with title Rendo Department.

RGV tweeted, Department asalu version ni tondharlo telugu lo `Rendo Departmet` perutho vidudhala cheyyabothunamu.idhi chala vere scenelatho vuntundhi

Kiran Kumar Koneru has bagged the dubbing rights of the film and already a TV channel lifted it for fancy price as per sources.

Chandrababu Invested For 'Adhinayakudu' Release?

Adhinayakudu is at last releasing on June 1st and that is confirmed. The film has been struggling to come out due to financial crisis and hence the sources said that Chandrababu has shown interest to release the film by pumping in required resources. It is said that there are some dialogues in the film those will politically stir and support TDP in huge way.

Since the elections are coming up shortly, Chandrababu and other TDP leaders have found that Adhinayakudu may help them gain some mileage.

Let us see how far the dialogues in the film becoming score points for TDP.

Lakshmi Manchu Enters 100000 Club

Celebrity quotient is being measured in terms of followers on twitter these days. Now Lakshmi Manchu entered 100000 followers club. She has been on twitter since 2008 and active from past 2 years.

She has bagged national image recently with Hindi film Department and rocking ahead as the most promising producer in Telugu and Tamil. Laskhmi Manchus quick entertaining updates with pics and videos on twitter have added glory to her glamour. She is also brand ambassador for American Foot ball thats coming to Hyderabad for first time.

So, Lakshmi Manchu has now signed on stardom with 1 lakh followers on twitter.

Photo Feature: Gutsy Ash wears clingy Elie Saab

We'll give Aishwarya Rai Bachchan points for sheer gutsiness, and for metaphorically thumbing her nose at the weight watchers. Her fourth outfit at Cannes is possibly her most adventurous look ever, even though it shows almost no skin. Not only does the dark grey, spangly gown cling to every supersize curve, it also defines her plus size waist with a thin belt. But Ash clearly doesn't care if she looks fat or not, and we're giving her a rousing cheer for it. The designer? Old favourite Elie Saab.

Ganesh's Rs 40 Cr Deal With Pawan Kalyan

Pawan Kalyan is back in action and is pumped up with full energy after his recent release Gabbar Singh has scored a thumping success. In a way, it has also brought a new lease of life to producer Bandla Ganesh who has been coming up with big movies but had not scored a registered hit.

Now, it is heard that Ganesh struck a deal with Pawan prior to all this. Apparently, he gave Rs 40 crores to Pawan for three movies. First was Teen Maar, second is Gabbar Singh and one more film is yet to take off. Sources say Pawan has given away his Nandi hills home to Renu Desai.

Currently, it is heard that he is constructing a new bungalow in MLA colony with state of the art infrastructure. If Pawans next project also scores a big hit then it is sure that the remuneration will hike up by few extra crores. Maybe that could lead to another sprawling bungalow somewhere.

Taapsee was there to fill the glamour quotient and provide the visual feast in songs. She has trimmed down a bit but doesnt look shrunk like her earlier film. Not much was there for her to perform.

Brahmanandam had a meaty role and did his best to generate laughs. However, the more restrained he is with his expressions the better impact the comedy will have. So he should do that more often.

Sayaji Shinde was standard, Avinash was alright, Sushant Singh was not used to his potential, Vennela Kishore made his presence felt, Jayasudha was elegant, Raghu Babu was regular, Prabhu didnt have much to do, M S Narayana was moderate, Dharmavarapu and L B Sriram came and went. The others didnt have any scope.

Highlights

Ravi Tejas performance
Art Department

Drawbacks

Too much eccentricity
Poor quality comedy
Fluctuating emotional quotient
Songs
Exaggerated cinematic liberties

Analysis
After Mirapakaya, Ravi Teja has dabbled with many films but he was unable to get the much needed hit for his career. With Daruvu many felt that gap will be fulfilled. Even the sentiment factor also worked since it had the element of Yamalokam and all films with that worked at the box office. Of course, the film had to suffer from factors like zero pre-release publicity, bad songs etc.

Daruvu looks like a proper commercial entertainer packed with endless comedy but few minutes after the film begins, one realizes that the comedy is more mindless than endless. Moreover, the quality of humour was rather mass than meaningful. The director tried to pump in a lot of energy into the scenes but if not for Ravi Teja, the film would have been totally tasteless.

Time and again, the Telugu makers have burnt their fingers by relying on Tamil directors. There is no doubt that the technicians from Kollywood are good but expecting the directors to catch the pulse of Telugu audience is a mistake. Here again, the film sees a lot of Tamil Paithyam in scene composition, content and cinematic liberties. Putting up a loud show doesnt make for good humour.

The element of blasphemy is something to be made note of. Yes, many films have come wherein Yama is made fun of but then the character always had strength and respect. Even Rajamouli gave that leverage in his film Yama Donga. But that was missing here. Scenes like Ravi Teja showing holding knife on Prabhus (Yama) neck, the shooting of arrows on Naradha, Chitragupta, Yama and above all, projecting Chitragupta as a more lustful individual was not very appealing.

A lot of focus was kept on exploiting Ravi Tejas potential as a performer but in this process, the others were ignored. The villain was hardly there, the romance track was just for songs, efficient artists like Vennela Kishore, Srinivas Reddy, Raghu Babu mumbled few lines but they were totally subdued.

Overall, this is a film for those who want to see a good act from Ravi Teja but if you are expecting a wholesome entertainer then it will completly disappoint you.

At the box office, the hardcore masses and ardent Ravi Teja fans might like it to an some extent but if the making budget has touched Rs 15 crores or more then recovery is difficult.

Bottomline: Muta Mestri + Yama Donga + Yamudiki Mogudu = DARUVU.

So far, Ashs wardrobe has been a big secret and talk was that she would be seen in a cream Chikankari sari and Anarkali style kurta but she popped a surprise with the maxi look. See this folks!!

Sunny Leone is to the manner porn when she strips down to her bare essentials in Sri Lanka for Jism 2. See sunny-side up in this pic posted on Jism's twit handle that reads "#JISM2-DAY 9- SRI LANKA. Just another SIZZLING day in paradise! Drool! Drool!

Why Ganesh Scared Of Declaring 'Gabbar Singh' Numbers?

The most talked about movie of the season is Gabbar Singh and it is a known fact that the film is on its way to register a sizeable blockbuster. So, it is obvious that the box office must be ringing with loads of money and collection centers must be overflowing with cash.

When so much is happening, why is producer Bandla Ganesh silent? These are the days when many producers come up with fake figures just to prove records so when something genuine is happening why is Ganesh keeping quiet? These are the doubts coming into the minds of the cine folks.

Well, a source close to the Gabbar Singh camp revealed the inside story. After the claims made by the producers of Dookudu they are still facing problems with IT officials. The producers are now scared to declare numbers as they know the consequences and Ganesh has reportedly realized it sooner and is silent.

Double Standards by Tollywood Folks

The cinema industry is filled with many shining things and glamorous people but beneath that lies a dark world of secrets, politics and jealousies. It is just that such things dont come out too often but everyone knows what is happening. The reason for this discussion is the recent statements coming from a veteran personality.

This noted director/producer who has always been known for blowing his trumpet all the time had given some positive statements about the recent release Dammu. However, the moment he stepped off the stage, it is heard that he has been trashing the film among his close circles.

The case is not just with this veteran personality. There are many individuals like that who maintain double standards and change their colours according to situation. This is one of the key reasons why Tollywood has not been able to flourish in the way it should have. Perhaps it is time for some ethics and professional standards in filmnagar.

Teenage Girls Carrying Condoms In Pocket

The last few years has been seeing a revolutionary transition in terms of girls and their attitude towards life. With elements like womens liberation, feminism being given an unusually high importance, it is clear that the society is heading towards a direction which has broken the barriers of culture and tradition.

And this has also changed their stand towards sexual activity. Recently, the regular frisking was taking place at a noted multiplex when few teenage girls came to watch the film Gababrsingh. The frisking for girls is done by ladies only. But when they were checking, they were shocked to discover that a couple of girls had condom packs in their jeans and handbags.

Of course, they are allowed to carry such stuff but this news has come out and raised the eyebrows of many those discussed where the country heading and what is happening to the society. It is a good thing to see girls trying to be ambitious about career and other things but not at the cost of disowning their personal integrity and ethics.

'Department' Review: For Rogue Audience

Film: Department
Rating: 2/5
Banners: Ram Gopal Varma Productions, Viacom 18 Pictures, Uberoi Line Productions
Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Rana, Lakshmi Manchu, Madhu Shalini, Anjana Sukhani, Nathalia Kaur and others
Music: Bappa Lahiri, Dharam Sandeep, Vikram Negi
Director: Ram Gopal Varma
Producer: Ram Gopal Varma
Release date: 18/05/2012

Ram Gopal Varma who is deemed as one of the finest technicians and storytellers of todays times is back and yet again, he chose his favourite genre of underworld and cops. Let us see how this is

Story
Set on the backdrop of Mumbai police department, the story begins with senior cop Mahadev Bhonsale (Sanjay Dutt) who is called for a special job by the Home Ministry. The increasing menace of the mafia in the city had to be curbed and Mahadev is given the task of coming up with a special team to wipe it out. He calls in Shivnarayan (Rana), the young and honest cop along with few other officers. However, the ideology of both Mahadev and Shivnarayan are different but they come to pact that they would not interfere in each others paths. In comes politician-turned-gangster Sarjerao Gaekwad (Amitabh) who takes Shiv under his wings. On the other hand, gangster DK (Abhimanyu) is power hungry and wants to establish his mafia rule in the city. The clash of ideology happens and everyone gets intertwined into it. How that happens forms the rest of the story.

Performances
Amitabh Bachchan is the total life and soul of this film. He was enigmatic in his act and his baritone voice with that mild elegance gave a strong impact to his character.

Sanjay Dutt was clean and looked like a typical cop. However, his potential and strong screen presence was not utilized to the fullest and his character got quite underplayed throughout.

Daggubati Rana was present in almost every scene of the film. His character was intense and given his alarming physique and minimal expressions, the role suited his body language.

Vijay Raaz was yet another actor whose potential was not used to the fullest. But despite getting a weak role, he made his presence felt in few scenes. His character should have got more strength.

Abhimanyu Singh comes up with an expressive performance. Unlike his earlier movies especially in Telugu where he has contained himself, it was a free flow of energy and he did full justice to his role.

Madhu Shalini is the one to watch out for. Her wildness, raw sex appeal, innocently dangerous expressions gives her an edge over others. This role has given her a transformation. Moreover, she dubbed her voice in Hindi that is highly convincing with native Mumbaikar punch. She scores full marks for her portrayal.

Lakshmi Manchu was elegant and did her bit as required, Deepak Tijori was apt, Subbaraju was brief, Neera Vohra brought few light moments. The others didnt have much to offer.

Highlights

Dialogues

Drawbacks

Visually disturbing
Weak Background score

Analysis
It is true that Ram Gopal Varma has been going through a string of flops. It is also true that he believes in making films as per his convictions and doesnt really focus on the box office outcome. Despite all this, whenever a film from him is making its way into the theatres, the enthusiasm and expectations from Ramu never go down. He is one of those trendsetting moviemakers who may have lost his touch but not his sheen. Anyways, the same momentum was present while going inside the theatre to watch Department.

The concept of revolutionary moviemaking is something Ramu can roll out even when his feet are upside down in the air. And he is also known for his amazing story telling and engaging sequences. However, that didnt seem to be the case with this one.

A film is made not just for conviction but also for the majority people. And if that majority section dont connect to it then the very purpose is useless. Department had a lot of style, a remarkable technique in camera angles, screenplay despite the stereotype genre chosen but that alone is not enough to sustain the viewers.

There must be that required element which defines a mainstream movie and that was missing here. The focus which was there on presenting the film in a different way was not there in tuning the story finely, giving it a good plot and delivering that emotional velocity in a typical RGV signature style. And the sound sync idea that was used also didnt work.

Overall, this is a film which promises good concept but its execution is beyond the realms of cinematic viewing. If only Ramu didnt show variation and too much experimentation and focused on the story and what it has to deliver, the film would have been another epic masterpiece.

Bottomline: Can be liked by those who unlike movies made in traditional way..to say it in RGVS style ..its for Rogue audience.

'Gabbar Singh' Review: Power Of Pawanism!!

Rating: 3.75/5
Banner: Parameswara Art Productions
Cast: Pawan Kalyan, Shruti Haasan, Abhimanyu Singh, Tanikella, Ajay, Kota, Suhasini, Brahmanandam, Ali and others
Music: Devi Sri Prasad
Editor: Gowtham Raju
Cinematographer: Jayanan Vincent
Dialogues, direction: Harish Shankar
Producer: Bandla Ganesh
Release date: 11/05/2012

After the not so successful Panjaa, Pawan Kalyan has returned to his forte of strong commercial cinema and that too with a remake of a Bollywood blockbuster. Let us see how good this is.

Story
Set on the backdrop of Kondaveedu town, the story is about Gabbar Singh (Pawan Kalyan) a fearless and honest cop who likes to be an anti-hero but with a good cause. Neglected by his father (Nagineedu), Gabbar Singh has a mind of his own. His unusual style of functioning begins to cause a pain to the local leader Siddhappa Naidu (Abhimanyu Singh) who is aspiring to be an MLA. All his illegal plans keep getting thwarted by Gabbar Singh.

On the other hand, Gabbar Singh falls in love with the demure Bhagyalakshmi (Shruti Haasan) but she keeps him away. The story takes a turn when Naidu decides to use a backdoor approach to put an end to Gabbar Singh. How does he deal with that? What happens to his romance story with Bhagyalakshmi? All this forms the rest of the story.

Performances
Pawan Kalyan is all over the film and his energy levels, dance moves and dialogue delivery is punch packed. After his mild portrayal of roles, this is one film which has seen him in full form.

Shruti Haasan looks sensuous and seductive. Though the dubbing for her was a little unusual, she managed to cover it up with her expressions and natural beauty. Not much scope for her in terms of performance.

Abhimanyu Singh underplays his role aptly and has the perfect menacing look of a villain. If his character was strengthened it could have caused more impact to the film. But still, he did a good job.

Ajay did his bit as required, Suhasini was standard, Kota was okay, Tanikella Bharani had a meaty role and he did full justice to it, Gayatri of Happy Days fame gave a surprise with her saucy character, Ali and Brahmanandam brought few smiles. Ravu Ramesh was brief but effective, he deserves more meaty characters. The others did their bit as required and added value to the film.

Highlights

Abrupt climax

Analysis
When a film of star like Pawan Kalyan is on the anvil, it is very difficult to match the expectations of his fans and the general audience. The hype and hungama that gets created makes anyone go into the theatres with out of the world entertainment. And this is a true challenge for any director handling that project. But director Harish Shankar has stood up to the challenge and delivered it as required. As such, this is a full plate unlimited meals for Pawan Kalyan and not stopping at that, it serves an extra dessert.

Despite the fact that this is a remake of the Bollywood blockbuster Dabangg, Harish has ensured that the story conversion happened in the right proportion and it suits the native taste of the audience. The occasional dialogues with double entendres, the entertainment quotient, the massive punch impact of the protagonist and those in-between dialogues which keep sending messages to other stars and fans is what makes the formula for a perfect commercial entertainer.

Of course, the entire focus was on Pawan and his energy levels were utilized to the fullest. In Dabangg, there were four verticals- significance was given to hero, heroine, villain and even the heros brother but that is not the case in this one. While most of the principal cast were sidelined and were there to fill the scenes, the total responsibility was on Pawan to carry the film on his shoulders and he has done an exceptional job. After Jalsa this is the film where we see Pawan hysteria once again.

While the fans may have their own feast, there is sufficient material for the general audience. Right from the age of 16 to 80, there are enough scenes which can connect them to the film in terms of entertainment. Frankly speaking, the Telugu audience has always believed in larger than life power in their superstars and though cinematic liberties are taken to match those wishes, if it is done with conviction then the film gets a thumbs up.

Gabbar Singh is a product which has the right mix of Pawanism, comedy, sentiment, romance and action. Perhaps the only hiccup in the film was the climax which ended on a rather quick note. Though the voltage was less, the entire energy throughout the film was maintained and due credit must be given to the screenplay and dialogues. Here are few lines to give you a glimpse-

"Peru, gothram cheppadaaniki nenaimainaa gullo poojaarinaa"
"Nenu cheppinaa okate, fans cheppinaa okate"
"Charitra gurinchi chetta buttala gurinchi aalochinchanu"

While there are many counters and punch lines which must be enjoyed in the theatres only, the film stands as a true example for an apt formula film which will fill the stomach of the commercial summer audience. At the box office, since there is nobody around for the next two weeks, the film will register thumping collections. And given the impact of songs like Kevvu Keka and Akasam Ammayaithe.. the chances of repeat audience is also high. We could be looking at a registered blockbuster here.

Bottomline: Ee Thikka Ki Lekka Kattalenidhi!!

Tweet Review: 'Gabbar Singh', first day, first show

It is friday time which means it is the time to have a look at what is happening in the theatres. Perhaps the biggest and most promising movie of the year is getting ready to take the judgement from the audience.

We are talking about the film 'Gabbar Singh' and it is hitting the screens today. This has power star Pawan Kalyan as the hero and he is pairing up with Shruti Haasan. The film is directed by Harish Shankar and produced by Bandla Ganesh.

The music by Devi Sri Prasad has created good impact with the audience and one of the songs 'Kevvu Keka' is a ruling chartbuster. The film is the remake of the Bollywood blockbuster 'Dabangg'. So let us hope the remake scores a blockbuster too.

Greatandhra brings to you the experience of watching the film live via tweet review.

Tanikella Bharani excels after a long time with Godavari slang.

Pawan Kalyan's shocking dialogue imitating Rajasekhar 'Rose Rose Rose puvvaa?? Rojaa naa veedi koojaa naa' (may be a revenge dialogue in connection with off screen strife between Rajasekhar and Chiru)

'Kevvu Keka***' song shaking theatre.

'Premalo Padithe' Review: A Bad Experience

Rating: 2.5/5
Banner: S K Pictures
Cast: Sree, Urmila Mohanty, Mithun Murali, Manisha Yadav, Muthuraman, Rithika and others
Music: R Prasanna
Cinematographer: S D Vijay Milton
Editor: Gopikrishna
Story, screenplay, direction: Balaji Sakthivel
Producer: Suresh Kondeti
Release date: 04/05/2012

Just like stale mass masala movies coming in Tollywood, even Kollywood is seeing few movies like that. Tamil directors have got addicted to giving tragic ending to romance stories. Many of those movies got translated into Telugu but not many were successful. Telugu audience has understood that Tamil movies will be like this only and tragedy will be there somehow or the other. Tamil audience may like it but the Telugu buyers should think twice before they invest money. This film is also one from that lot.

Story
Venu (Sree) hails from utter poverty and he takes up work in a street-side Tiffin shop. He falls in love with Jyothi (Urmila) who works in the neighbouring apartment but is unable to express it. Before he decides to express his feelings, Jyothi meets with an accident. Venu is made responsible for that and is arrested. What exactly happens to Jyothi? Why did Venu get arrested? In the same apartment lives a teenage girl Aarti (Manisha), she is constantly chased by Nitesh (Mithun) a boy from the same apartment. The fight between them leads to a problem for Jyothi. What happens after that forms the rest of the story.

Performances
The film comprises of debutantes mostly and among them, the lead pair of Sree and Urmila have done well.

Urmila conveys a lot through her eyes though she has few dialogues. Sree fits the character rightly with perfect expressions. Manisha also has done a good act. Mithun was natural.

Rest of the cast ensured that Tamil flavour was not missed. And Suresh Kondeti who dubbed the movie in Telugu might have discovered the lack of comedy so he filled the gap with an item song.

Technical Aspects
The background score of R Prasanna is good. Two songs in the film were composed without instruments and only the voices of the singers were used. This technique sounds okay but you will feel the absence of music in critical romantic scenes and get bored. Cinematography was neat. Usually, such films tend to have a rugged backdrop but the cinematographer has taken enough precautions to give a soothing feel. Editing was average it could have been better in second half.

Highlights

Cinematography

Drawbacks

Story, screenplay filled with Tamil flavour
Character development
Direction

Analysis
The director Balaji Sakthivel has made 'Premisthe' movie in a very natural way. Though it was a tragic love story the entertainment value is there. In this movie he has also touched contemporary issues by showing how youth are getting misled through SMS and Smartphones. But the crucial scenes of the film had flat direction. Climax was not effective. Mainly, one will not get sympathy for the lead pair which has fallen into problems because of someone else. The main drawback is not developing the love story rightly. The scenes and screenplay to show the link between first half and second half, the emotions between the characters and the attachment to be given to the audience was left to the wind. Thats why one does not react even if something terrible is happening onscreen. That shows the weakness of direction.

The low budget films coming from Kollywood are always like this, why? There is a compulsory tragedy in the end, why? The characters are always below the poverty line, why? Is it because directors believe this to be the easiest way for appreciation? Or is it a genuine sympathy or affection towards people who belong to such class?

Earlier, we saw a cobbler, roadside mechanic, employee in clothes shop. Since they have shown all such characters, did the hero become a worker at a streetside Tiffin centre? Is that why his pair is a servant maid? Finally, the tragedy that strikes them, was it also written after ensuring that it was not repeated in other films?

One film sees the hero going mad and the other film sees the heroine becoming physically handicapped. So what should be fresh in our film? Did they write the story thinking what will make the audience cry their hearts out and show extreme affection to their lovers? Isnt this one form of sadism? Is it not an attempt to exploit the weakness of audience and encash it?

With entertainment quotient being zero and a snail pace of the film, it is difficult for Telugu audience to show generosity. Since there are audiences in neighbouring state who pay money to cry their hearts out, such films can make good collections there. Telugu audience is not in a position to move to such sentiments. Those who are used to watching Tamil tragedy flicks can watch it but otherwise this forced tragedy will not be liked by anyone.

Bottomline: Premalo Padithesure to lose peace of mind
