1427679613-1692

Creative differences between any two individuals in any creative job are quite common but when those differences sprout up between family members working for the same film, it will make it to the headlines without fail.

 Well, this is between ace heroine Sruthi Haasan & yesteryear heroine Gautami for Kamal Haasan’s upcoming film Sabash Naidu. While Shruti is sharing screen space with her dad Kamal in the film, Kamal’s current live-in partner Gautami is working as chief costume designer for this trilingual flick.

If the inside reports are to be beileved, creative differences cropped up between the two. Shruti apparently did not find the costumes designed by Gautami good on her which at times led to heated arguments between them even on the sets! Well Kamal and others haven’t peeped into the matter.

 Hope Shruti & Gautami find a way out with their differences and make things easy!


Actual reason behind Superstar’s tweet

In case you are a fan of a superstar and follow him on his social media profile such as Twitter, one tweet from him would be like a festival to you. Though most of the stars tend to keep their profile busy with some statements, some are above such things.

The likes of superstar Mahesh Babu, power star Pawan Kalyan usually tweet at rare intervals. Similarly, another man whose tweet is considered extremely precious is Style Samrat Rajinikanth. He rarely tweets so it came as a surprise when he gave a new tweet yesterday.

Well, Rajini has wished Bollywood’s charming star Akshay Kumar the best of luck for his new movie Rustom. This got many wondering as to why Rajini did this. Some also commented he is showing bias by supporting Rustom and not Mohenjo Daro. Well, the answer is simple. Akshay and Rajini are working together for Robo 2.0 hence that camaraderie.

Gutsy heroine Nayantara is once again in the headlines for wrong reasons and this time its due to her recently released Tamil film Thirunaal.

 Going into the details, there is a scene in Thirunaal movie where a school boy plants a peck on Nayan’s lips. This scene became a hot topic of discussion in the social media when the screenshot of the scene was shared online by the kid’s mother. Director PS Ramnath is being lashed out by the netizens for shooting this scene. However he tried to give his version on the episode trying to explain that the scene was captured projecting the innocence of kindergarten kid with no vulgar intentions.

 On the other hand, Thirunaal is bagging positive reviews and talk all over in TN. Nayan’s Babu Bangaram movie starring Victory Venkatesh in the lead released today and opened to mixed reviews. In a way it has been an eventful Friday for Nayan.


Nithya Menen fires on Media

Nithya Menon hot in Ala Modalainde 3

Nithya Menen is quite a simple yet strong personality who does shy away to call a spade a spade come what may. However a bunch of recent media reports and link up rumors with her Ok Bangaram co-star Dulquer Salman haven’t gone well with this Malayalam beauty.

 Well, Nithya is not someone who can ignore these so easily. She strongly condemned the rumors and indeed questioned the group of media about how can they carry such objectionable and demeaning reports linking up her with a married person! Nithya apparently reasserted that they were good co-stars and friends beyond everything.

 Well these linkup rumors have managed to find some milege due to their sparkling chemistry in back to back releases like Ok Kanmani, 100 Days of Love etc. On a whole, Nithya Menen gave strong indications that she can spare no cooked stories upon her.


Janatha Garrage trailer talk: Tarak packs a punch

What was your takeaway when you watched the movie Srimanthudu featuring superstar Mahesh Babu? Well, it was about giving something back to Nature and society and create the difference. This concept struck a major chord with the audience and the film became a blockbuster.

The credit for that goes to the talented director Koratala Siva and now he is arriving with another movie Janatha Garage. As part of that, the first trailer came out and those who saw it are saying it looks just like Srimanthudu part 2. The fundamental of Koratala remains the same.

Even Janatha Garage seems to revolve around the preservation of nature and at the same time, the preservation of humanity. The trailer has got an overwhelming response but on a practical note, it would be more effective if Koratala has a twist in the tale and not something predictable.


​Senior Vs Junior: who will win in the battle?

babu

It is natural that when two movies that show promise arrive in theatres on the same date, the comparison charts are brought up. The same is happening right now in Tollywood because of two movies. They are Babu Bangaram with Venkatesh and Thikka with Sai Dharam.

As such, Babu Bangaram released a day earlier and reports are stating the film has got an average response. As a result, all ‘Thikka’ would need is an above average talk and that would be sufficient to push it to a success mark. The expectations are strong due to Sai Dharam factor.

However, the other perspective is Babu Bangaram is more family movie while Thikka is more mass and youth movie so both films will have their share of audience. That way, both films impacting each other is not going to be that huge. We will know the clear picture by Monday though.


Review: Babu Bangaram – One time watchable movie

9753_Venkateshs-Babu-Bangaram

Writer-Director: Maruthi

Cast: Venkatesh, Nayantara, Sampath Raj, Murali Sharma, Vennela Kishore, Prudhviraj, Brahmaji

Banner: Sitara Entertainments

Music: Ghibran

Editor: SB Uddav

Cinematography: Richard Prasad

Producer: S Naga Vamshi, PDV Prasad, S Radha Krishna (Presenter)

Story:

Assistant Commissioner of Police Krishna (Venkatesh) is a very soft hearted person. He cannot digest if anyone is in trouble. He does service to people whom he hits! He meets Shailu (Nayanatara) and feels very bad for her troubles. Her father absconds after getting stuck in a legal case and a group of goons are in search of him. She is stuck in lot of tensions which include police interrogation and problems in house.

Krishna understands her trouble and plans to help her without revealing his police identity. He falls in love with her eventually and the feeling is mutual. At this moment, she comes to know that it is indeed Krishna who is appointed to catch her father. Just then, her father meets with a fatal danger and Shailu moves away from Krishna. How does Krishna solve all these problems? What is the real problem Shailu’s father is facing?- forms the rest of the plot.

 Actors Performances:

Venkatesh: He looked dashingly young in this film. He is the biggest asset for this film and he tried his best to remind the audience of Bobbili Raja. Somehow, he couldn’t move that freely or was at good ease. Venky’s comedy was confined to expressions and histrionics but he was not at complete ease.

Nayantara: Nayan looked very beautiful in this film. She was neither an asset or a liability in the film but did her part decently well.

Others: The film gets bearable and entertaining thanks to two comedians Posani and Prudhvi. Prudhvi did a great job as Battayi Babji and his punches work well. Vennela Kishore was alright and there was very little scope for Brahmanandam.

Analysis:

The story would definitely remind the viewer of Nagarjuna’s old film Niryanam. Though the storyline of Babu Bangaram is old, Maruthi tried to add entertainment aspect to this. The aspect of hero being very sensitive and at the same time being a ruthless police officer might be new. But the director failed to implement it fully by adding novelty to it. First half features Prudhvi’s forced comedy as Battayi Babji and the director depended on Posani Krishna Murali in the second half.

When the story is weak, anyone has to depend on spoofs and comedy element. Nannaku Prematho spoof generates some good laughter. But once the comedy element is done, the film gets into the regular formulaic mode. Though it follows Gabbar Singh format in generating laughter for an action flick, the repetitive comedy becomes stale. First half goes well in entertainment mode but the second half drags down. Despite having artists like Posani and Brahmanandam, the second half comparatively gets bad.

Positive Aspects:

Venkatesh’s performance

Nannaku Prematho Spoof

30 Years Prudvi

Negative Aspects:

Poor storytelling

Second half

Technical Aspects:

The movie is technically rich with good camerawork but only one title song is catchy. The background music which resembles Bobbili Raja theme music was done well. Maruthi’s script work is below average and direction was also mediocre.


Angry Youngman to romance Kamal’s heroine

Remember the stunningly pretty actress who made repeated appearance in Kamal Hassan’s Vishwaroopam along with Utthama Villain? She is none other than Pooja Kumar who is also a brilliant performer. However, she wasn’t predominantly seen in any other film after that.

But as per latest reports, Pooja Kumar will be seen opposite angry young man Rajasekhar. After ages, this actor is all set to do a powerful cop role which has always been his forte. Versatile filmmaker Praveen Sattaru will be directing this flick.

It would be interesting to see Pooja Kumar sharing screen presence with yesteryear brilliant hero Rajasekhar and whether he would score a hit at least this time!

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s anticipated 100th film Gautamiputra Satakarni is getting crafted in a never before seen fashion with all the brilliant aspects of filmmaking. The film’s shooting has been happening in authentic locations such as Morocco and the producers are not backing off to give the best for it. While Devi Sri Prasad was confirmed earlier as the music director for this film, he was out of the project due to prior commitments.

Here is exciting news which says that Maestro Ilaiyaraaja is almost confirmed as the music director for this flick. The brilliant composer is known for his melodious songs as well as grand re-recording skills and proved his working chemistry with Balakrishna in Bapu’s Sri Rama Rajyam.

Though Krish initially considered Kanche music director Chirantan Bhatt for this project,he later felt that a senior most composer like Ilaiyaraaja would be the best man to do justice for such historic project. Even Balakrishna appreciated the idea and the official announcement will happen in a day or two!
