The cheeni is adequate
It is indeed a touching moment when Buddhadev played by Big B screams and cries, “Help me maa” when he is not able to get his hands around the pillar, when his young neighbour Sexy succumbs to cancer. After Namesake for Tabu and after Nishabd for Amitabh, Cheeni Kum is sheer epiphany. Tabu brings out [...]

Ekkado vinnattu unnai!
Jyothi Krishna and Harivarun are the lead pair of Laila Majnu. The songs were screened to the media today at the Prasad Labs. Songs choosthe rich ga unnai kaani ekkado vinnatunnai. Anji Seenu and Srilekha were present on the occasion. The filmmaker said, “Cinema extraordinary ga vachchindhi.” He added, “Prema ela sukhantam avthundhi, daani margam [...]
Photo pedthe chaalu
Some of our fading stars love publicity. All of them do but those like the waning moon cling to it desperately. One hot summer I was given an appointment by a maverick actor. I went on dot but I suppose it was not the right time to go. He was all sozzled and spoke excitedly [...]
Puttina roju ki publicity kavaali
Some of our industry people behave as if they are God’s gift to Telugu cinema industry. Though the entire year we keep bumping into them for bytes the birthday is one day on which they expect something bombastic in the newspapers and websites. That’s the day they give donations, do charity, sport a viboodhi on [...]
Andhari dhukanalu nadavali, nadhi baaga nadavali
Venu Madhav, one of Telugu cinema’s most versatile actors for whom the shift from a comedian to a comedy-hero in Bhookailas seems to have been a cakewalk, believes that there is enough place for every one in the industry and hopes to see some healthy competition. Andhari dhukaanalu nadavaali, na dhukaanam baaga nadavaali tells Venu [...]
Some courage this!
These people have guts. Whoever involved in the making of GGM need to visit a shrink. You might be having impeccable connections and might have the capacity to pool in all the media people and the industry people for coverage but it doesn’t mean you can take ‘aam junta’ for a ride. People who squat [...]
Nagarjuna Who?
Telugu cinema industry ki kottha faces kaavali. We desperately need heroines, Telugu ammayilu industry ki raaru, Mallu girls ki over exposure ayipoyindhi they all have acted in Telugu films. Unna Telugu faces manaki naccharu so what do we do? Scout for some faces and the best place is Mumbai or Delhi. From Miss World to [...]
Idhe Mangatayaru Tiffin Centre
I had an option - to go shopping in Sultan Bazaar, Koti or watch Nee Navve Chalu. Film is good I heard but my shopping trip didn’t go waste either. I stumbled into a cassette dukaan and bought Tadi Balram’s Mangatayaru Tiffin Centre. The rights had long back been sold to Magna Sound and I [...]
Sridhar aims for the best
Some people struggle to make two ends meet, some people spend lavishly which is a vulgar display of wealth. In Bhookailas they show a man who’s suddenly become wealthy rubbing off a bird’s dropping with a 1000 rupee note. Money surely is losing value. It really sucks when people splurge when it is not necessary.
The [...]
Entertainment & sentiment falls flat
Gundammagari Manavadu katha is over and now it’s time for Mangamma. Bharat Parepalli will be directing Mangamma Shapadham. Dasari could produce the film.
What a fall for the two comedians, akkada sentiment kicked the bucket, ikkada comedy took a walk. Obviously the reference is to GGM and Bhookailas and the culprits are not Ali and Venu [...]
Kondeti-Prabhu kirkiri
So it’s finally in the open, and the worms are tumbling out of the can. Last week at the elections at the press club we saw trouble brewing between Suresh Kondeti and Prabhu and now it seems to be heading towards a climax. The Big B of Telugu media wants or might have already quit [...]
