Don’t judge, Just chill
Okkasari commit ayyanante na maata nene vinanu. The dialogue did not shine much but yes Mahesh Babu’s charisma did with Pokiri. Nenu champanu chavuni parichayam chetsanu is from Sainikudu. It might make a little sense till you watch the film but what the hell, give this young man a break. It’s clearly his time now and let him enjoy it. [...]
Muchataga Moodu
December 8th moodu cinemalu release avuthayi. All the three are straight films and they should have given a gap of atleast a week between each. Wonder where they’ll find theatres for Satyam Shivam Sundaram. The film was lying in the cans for want of buyers for a long time. The producer is B. Srinivasa Raju [...]
Humming a slang
Many people have wondered when comes the waves upon waves of musical slush that invade decent homes and set the young people of this generation imitating the drivel of morons. Something is seriously wrong with Chandrabose. The mosquito must have stung him really hard otherwise why would he write such an indecent song. I happened [...]
Mayadari Maisamma
Commenting on why popular actresses throw nakhras on the sets, Mumait Khan says, “For the endless hours they spend shooting in traumatic conditions, in wispy chiffon saris on the Swiss Alps, falling off cliffs in pesky action sequences, travelling cross country for stage shows abandoning the concept of jet lag, invasion of privacy, getting mobbed [...]
Can Shahrukh carry off KBC?
No matter how much actors may blow the ‘love for the craft’ horn trying their hardest to convince us that it’s not the lavish living that’s the driving factor, it’s ultimately all about the money. It’s an all-known fact that when you ask a star to sign up for a stage show anywhere in the [...]
A khatarnak encounter
He entered the Telugu film industry with great courage and enthusiasm but had to face a 10-year-long period of struggle before getting a foothold in commercial cinema. A string of hits, countless offers, applause and thoughtful career moves…today it’s a new, confident Raviteja who strides across the filmi firmament.
He says, “Over the years, I’ve accumulated [...]
First Look: Mukkanti
He takes the ghanatha for being part of a nine film launch once upon a time. Don’t ask me the details of those nine films unless you are interested. Taraka Ratna will be putting on the grease paint once more on Monday morning at Ramakrishna Studios.The film will be directed by Raj Krishna a debutante. [...]
Well done Sangeeta
Saw Uyir (Manohara in Telugu), it was a well made film. Right from conceiving ideas to implementing it, director Samy had done a wonderful job in his debut venture. Sangeeta has given one of her best performances and the way she goes about planning and trying to seduce her brother-in-law is done a systematic fashion. [...]
Paapam producerlu!
It took me a long time to understand why film stars don’t spend money from their pockets. As a child I had heard stories of how NTR took home all the towels, maces, crowns (from mythologicals) and stacked them up in his studios in Abids till one politician burnt it all and left the actor mourning [...]
Cow finds Nayantara hot
Nayantara isn’t jaw-droppingly beautiful or a vision of loveliness, but she certainly is striking. Be it Chandramukhi, Gazini, Lakshmi, Boss or Vallabha she did make audiences sit up and take notice of her. And there is more to her; the mass goes berserk because she sets the screen ablaze and she’s media’s favourite whipping girl. [...]
Ash’s salaam draws flak
It’s really bad to keep writing and speculating about someone else’s personal life but what can one do if the couple happens to belong to the A list of the Hindi cinema brigade. I am referring to how today’s Eenadu has given a banner headline of Abhishek getting upset over Ash kissing Hrithik in Dhoom II [...]
Can u make a rosy career?
Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts is the most successful actress in the world, is enchantingly charming and hypnotically beautiful. But when it comes to men, she has had only painful heartbreaks. Perhaps the problem is that in this world, finding true love is both the most rewarding and difficult thing in life to achieve. Most women [...]
Parents are my strength
Mamata Mohandas is not involved with any telugu film right now but she is sure to make her mark soon. But before she appears on screen you will hear her sing a song for NTR starrer Rakhi. See what she’s got to say on her parents. “My family comprises of Dad, Mom and I…as nuclear [...]
Make hay while the sun shines
When producers are spending crores on making movies, paying crores to directors and hero’s, why does it become an issue when a heroine charges just above fifty lakhs per film? She doesn’t run the film entirely on her shoulders though but name atlesat half a dozen films which have worked at the BO without an [...]
