A bumper success meet

Yet another success meet this evening. Rajendra Prasad is deliriously happy and cites an example of how his friend Nehru by name couldn’t get a ticket at the theatre. Excuse me, we are talking of Bhagyalakshmi Bumper Draw. “I asked him to come back when he called on a Monday from the theatre and was [...]

Watch that weight

For any young women reading this; Happiness is not a dress size or a number on a scale - it’s something that comes from within. But for women in movies who are under constant scrutiny, it is a must for them to look, to the point of looking anorexic. Apparently I have heard of an [...]

Nothing khaas about it

I was just reading a piece on how Riteish Deshmukh had upped his price to one crore per film now. While people are still wondering if he is a woman in a man’s clothing, I caught up with Kya Kool Hai Hum which is full of vulgarity. But in case someone ever recommends Apna Sapna [...]

Nandi isthanante voddhantunna

There seems to be no happiness post the Nandi awards announcement. While a few are happy because they got it without any expectations, others are still in a daze as to why the film won it. An actor calls me the very next morning the awards were announced to find out the names of the [...]

The best & bad lips

Winter is the season of the crimson mouth, as actresses left and right are puckering up with bright red lips. Most actresses seldom come out of their homes without their lipstick. While the bold retro red look is common with most starlets, rouge, light pink or natural colours are preferred by actresses who love to [...]

Revelry at CC’s home

It was party time last night at CC Reddy’s magnificent home. Goutham SSC bagged an award and CC Reddy threw a lovely party for his unit. Sindu Tolani once remarked he has the best home in hyderabad and many vouch for that. The man is obese right and his growing size is an indication of [...]

Appude Pellenti?

Meera Jasmine is tired of denying rumours of marriage. First she was linked with Lohit Das and then Prithviraj and now director SJ Suryah. Meera Jasmine insists that her focus now is on her career. “I’ve some very interesting offers in my kitty,” says Meera. “Just because I went through a rough phase once, it [...]

Srihari turns samaritan

Srihari has a sizeable amount of fans in Andhra and there is a mixed response to his entry in politics. He will be canvassing for the poll in Karaminagar and some of his fans are not amused. Why do you have to enter politics when you are at a peak in your career asks a [...]

Gudilo godava

Suman has joined the other aggrieved people in the government and is supporting the endowments department to take over the temple administration in Chilkur Balaji temple. The reason is the the ‘overaction’ of the people at the temple. Yesterday being a holiday, the actor had intimated the temple authorities that he would visit the temple [...]

Mutual Admiration Society

Producers fussing over actresses like mother hens oops like father hens is as old as history. An actress whose film released sometime back and was a debacle at the box office is at a damage control exercise. You watch the lady talking about the film which has been almost pulled out of many theatres. She [...]

A mallu remake

Sravanti Ravikishore is indeed a lucky man to have bagged the rights (for a high price) of Classmates and he is probably right in choosing Vijaya Bhaskar as the director because he is one man who is good at directing campus love stories. This film doesn’t need stars but yes they have roped in Sumant who has reasonable amount [...]

Full length kamedy

We just saw a film Bhagyalakshmi Bumper Draw based on money and very soon we will be seeing Paisalo Parmatama which also has money as the main theme as the title suggests. It will be releasing this December and the first copy will be out in 2-3 days. The story, screenplay and direction is by [...]

How Suhasini got her name

The 18-years-old heroine of Chantigadu had tasted success in her first film but isn’t overtly ambitious and is happy with what she’s doing on screen. “There is very little space for actress in this field,” she says with a refreshing candour. “An actress still cannot ask about the story in a film in which she [...]

Evaru hottest item girl?

Bollywood is changing in a very intelligent way. The whole hero concept of hero and heroine thing is vanishing. What about Telugu cinema? As far as heroines are concerned there is a sea change. We have heroines doing item numbers be it for money or popularity, they don’t mind appearing in roles that you can [...]

Dhoom 2 Super

Bipasha is playing the super stylish woman Shonali Bose in Dhoom 2. Isn’t she insecure there are so many stars in the film? She says, “I know it is a multi-starrer but even if there are ten stars in a film, I am not going to be side lined, and besides, it’s more fun to [...]

Amitabh Vs Shah Rukh

I enjoyed watching Don last night. While some felt it was overrated I felt it was cool. While the original Don had some chartbusters like paan chewing Khaike Pan Banaras Wala.., Are Deewano Mujhe Pehchano.., the entire flick looked placid. The dialogues in the remake like Don ke dushman ki sabse badi galti yeh hai [...]

Modati Cinema

Amitabh’s first film as a solo hero was Pyar Ki Kahani. The film didn’t work. Producer Doondeswar Rao says he paid him ten thousand for it. Later when Zanjeer became a hit Amitabh came to him asking him for his agreement papers. He told the producer, “Please return those agreement papers, after six months I [...]

Star Coffee

Mocha, Barista, Cafe Coffee Day, Le Cafe d’art, Chick King, etc., are the few places where all our young heroes hang out in the evenings. It’s a dating place for a few, we spotted a child artiste and tv star meeting up with the fiancee almost every day in the open Cafe Coffee Day. The [...]
