The censor board is supposed to maintain utmost secrecy in regard to the preview reports. Yesterday a friend from vizag called me and informed that some censor board member had leaked the info that Don is an average movie, antha goppaga ledhanta. Meanwhile there was a small disturbance in prints reaching theatres on time as [...]
Scene stealers
Three people who give us a good copy are R Narayan Murthy, Mohan Babu and Dasari Narayan Rao. With them around as guests and chief guests we never fall short of news. The first one’s simplicity and honesty is humbling, the second one’s language and tone, his style is dramatic. Finally Dasari’s anecdotes and hitting [...]
Narayan Murthy’s remark on Sawaal
My colleague’s favourite is Narayan Murthy, aayana vosthe baguntundi…mukku moham egeresukuntu maatladthaaru and we all break into giggles. Once he asked RNM mee phone number iyyandi he said, “vundayya, ekkado book lo raasukunnanu, choosi chepthaa.” This evening RNM gave a sane advice to Rajamouli to pick telugu girls for his films and propitiate telugu talent.

Sivaji played a good host at the F bar celebrating the ’success’ of the film and the journalists had a jolly good time. But what needs to be mentioned is the excited speech of R Naryanmurthy at the Sawaal audio function.
I like the trio: Suhani
Suhani is aghast to hear that she’s been linked with Allari Naresh and another co-star Yashwant.She says, “I find it really silly when I read such things but I guess I got take it in my stride.” The actress is working in Sawaal with Bharat, but her favourite stars in telugu are Mahesh Babu (for [...]

Thappenti?
Bhumika spoke to the media the other day and while she was in the middle of the interview the phones buzzed and that distracted her. “Plz switch off ur mobile phones…..malli mogithe elipothanu.”
There was nothing wrong in what she said, but the media made a big issue about it. In Mohan Babu’s sets, they have [...]
Bus voddhu babu
RP Patnaik’s vizag tour is slowly losing spark. Just because the manger said that there was a problem with the train journey, a bus would be arranged. Bus anagane, fifty nundi thirty ki number reduce ayindhi.
A ‘mass’ party
Ninna bommidayala pulusu, mutton biryani kosam janam egapaddaru…adhe chandamama function lo. Media ki separate ani chepparu, kaani ento bayata vaalu crowded the food counters. Media hundereds lo votchestaaru.
One channel is represented by four, a website by three, then weeklies, dailies, monthlies…their representatives and relatives. Actually some sort of regulation is required, atleast an identity card [...]

Andhukane emo poddhunne Chiru deggara kelli meeku 60 seats kante ekkuva raavu, endhukotchinna godava, manaki politics voddhulendi ani cheppings. Entha close partner aithe enti ‘kamma’ feeling ekkadiki pothadhi and CBN must have promised him [...]

Durgam Cheruvu lo ee roju Chillara Kalyan hosting 100 days function. Manam oppukunna oppukokapoyina, if a film jumps or shifts from one theatre to the other theatre and in the process completes 100 days, it means it has completed 100 days. Ee subha sandarbham lo wouldn’t it be nice if the producer gives back the [...]

CC Reddy is a fantastic orator. He has the capacity to hold the audience in rapt attention for hours together, no wonder he has single handedly made Visu Consultants the best business house to carry students abroad. He spends like a king and at the same time knows how to extract his pound of flesh [...]

If a movie were to be declared utterly boring, then this one is it. The director should be punished for inflicting trauma on viewers who go to watch the film in good faith. Rishi a very talented and bright student calls for a school reunion and flips for Nikita his class mate.He proposes to her [...]
Injurious to health
Dengue, Cancer, AIDS, Maharajasri. Not necessarily in that order. Gokul lo 40, Sensation lo 12. Audience for that grandiose drama. I killed mosquitoes for sometime, kaasepu tongunna, kaasepu a kadha emito ani understanding chesukotaaniki try chesaanu. Itaanti cinemalu choosthe life span taguddhi ani oka friend cheppadu once upon a time. I didn’t heed his advice [...]
