Cricketers partying with Bollywood stars

Mumait gets praise from Maisamma unit

I have heard of people taking money to write goody goody stuff about films but it was a revelation today that one gets a lumpsome to even talk about it and the director in glowing terms on a dias. Mike chethiki isthe chaalu ooo maatladesthaaru. I attended a press meet and was a victim of some [...]

Manners leni media

As usual the excited photographers and the electronic media went overboard to cover the Arti Agarwal and Umesh wedding at the Arya Samaj in Ranigunj. The priests were  unprepared for this kind of onslaught by the photographers. The shutterbugs jostled and pushed each other from the narrow stairs onwards to the main hall inside to [...]

Maisamma gets an ‘A’

Maisamma gets A certificate. That could have something to do with Mumait Khan playing the  vamp and the heroine. It’s a film that might help Mumait stabilise her career or reduce her to another B or C grade actress in other words it could be a Maisamma or Minus amma. Another couple of days to go and [...]

Taj Krishna lo Yuva launched

Nag launched his serial this evening and the first thing that greeted us at the entrance was the press note, that  had all the details, quotes of the CEO et al printed neatly for the media to reproduce without any hassles. How thoughtful Nag! Itla appuduappudu ma burra ki rest isthe baavundu. Ayina entrance lone [...]

Morning Show Muchatlu - Seema Sastry

Most films these days suffer from anemic deficient comedy and such witless projects have created mistrust amongst movie buffs because they have to endure cacophonous, self-congratulatory plagiarism. This one Seema Sastry is different, stars Naresh who plays the role of a temple priest in love with a factionist’s daughter. How his family joins his mission [...]

Morning Show Muchatlu - FM

FM or Fun aur Masti directed by Shekar Surya doesn’t live up to the promise of the potential that the title or atleast the story content that the makers of Angrez and Hyderabad Nawabs came up with for the metropolitan audiences. The earlier films had major talent, despite the fictional stories, the characters were grounded [...]

Thindi tippalu

Tarak attended the Tinnama Podukunnama Telarinda function last night. Though he was present for a brief period he answered queries to do with his weight..about how he could reduce so much within such a short span. The title of this film was apt for me at that time because I wasn’t serious about my fitness [...]

Suspense thusssss….

A press conference was held by LP Pictures at Sitarambagh this morning. P Vasu the director said that an important person is playing a role in this film. Sadly the suspense was broken by Tanikella Bharani who came in late but began the speech by, ‘mee andharike telisina vishayame..Mohan Babu garu ee cinemalo oka adbuthamaina [...]

Bunny’s sportive spirit

Raatri ‘Soul’ (Somajiguda) lo party ayindhi. Mamta played a perfect host with her dad and mum. On the guest’s demand she sang two lines of Aakalesthe ….I am told the expressions on people’s faces were a must see. The mike was put to liberal use and when it came to Mohan Babu’s turn everyone stood [...]

Ramanaidu’s generosity

Film Critics Association Samkshemam kosam Dr Ramanaidu donated generously. The crtics lauded his achievements and paid glorious tributes to him, his contribution to the film industry. The panegyrics include, “sahrudaya smarat’, sneha seeli’ and some complicated telugu words which I am not able to recollect.
The best speech was from senior photographer Sai Ramesh. When he [...]
