Morning Show Muchatlu - Nee Sukhame Ne Korutunna
All those who have watched this Friday release would want to know if Giri Babu made this film for himself or for the audiences. This yarn of a crappy film seems to be stuck in 1970s where misty eyed onscreen telugu goddesses reeled off lengthy emotional and clichéd dialogues while their stone-hearted brothers slapped them [...]
Gaali vaarta?
Oka andamaina hero, oka sanabadda hero o pub lo koorchuni muchatta pedthunnaru. Suddenly a producer walks in and initiates pleasantries with the former, “babu ela vunnadu?” to which the reply is, ‘parledhu, doc cheppadu surgeries avasaram ledhanta!” and a series of giggles follow. How mean!
Nee dukhhame ne korutunna
Sooper dialogues…college ki head ayi undi headless pani cheysane, nenu chesina paapam ventane kadukkunta says Ranganath. Nenu chesina paapaniki pranaalu poyina parvaledhu (if u are wondering what her crime was, don’t get too imaginative…it’s just that she fell in love with Raja) says Sneha. Paapishti vaada, thobuttuvuni chetulaara champela vunnavu says Annapurna to Raghu Babu. [...]
Konchem touch lo unte…..
It always helps to have a whacky title for your film and if the tagline is interesting there is bound to be a curiosity factor. A telugu film journalist once asked Sivaji what his next film was and he replied, “Konchem Touch Lo Unte Cheptanu.†The journalist took the hint and pulled out the cell [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Idi Sangati
Idi Sangati is Chandra Siddarth’s effort to deconstruct a stereotype. It has a simple premise about a woman’s appetite for life and how her avaricious attitude lands her in a problem. The film apparently points towards a redemptive future for all the characters, who play a negative role, that anything that is acquired from foul [...]
Assalu sangati
Chandra Siddarth might have showed journalists in poor light in Idi Sangati but there is this man in the orphanage who tells me that a journalist generously donated a sum of Rs10,000/-. If you are about to say cho chweet, then wait. He did that with an ulterior motive of getting a tax exemption from [...]
For Brahmi fans
Tvaralo my colleague in Cinegoer is coming up with a site dedicated to Brahmanandam. It will have an entire database of Brahmanandam’s movies, and everything related to his career and important events in his life.
Neti nisabdame repati prabanjanam: wall poster
Chiranjeevi finally dropped the idea of forming a new political party. He discussed this with his family members and close associates on Tuesday. Megastar also asked his family members to stop the activities of mobilizing the crowds. His two brothers and brother-in-law were against this decision but kept quite in the meeting. Sources close to [...]
Print raledhu
Poddhunne pani kattukuni ellanu theatre ki, pelli kaani prasad print raledhanta. BTW, I met one guy yesterday who knows pitchi yaadi of KPHB colony. He told me about another interesting chap who owns a horse and never uses any other mode of transport except his pet animal. Entha traffic unna, he gallops his way amidst [...]
Fresh evidence

According to sources it is alleged that another person was talking to these people (mainly R Reddy)over the phone co-ordinating the whole operation, also two of them were carrying guns. This conversation took place in guntur and the person (key man)who gave the instruction [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Tathagatha Buddha
Those of you who think that Buddha is another documentary will be pleasantly surprised. Very neatly directed by Allani Sridhar, the film deserves our nation’s gratitude. The two hour and ten minutes Buddha is more than a movie – it is a vivid reminder of Sanatana Dharma and his eight fold path that comprise the [...]
Swayamvaram
The title for the Dil Raju, Bhaskar, Arjun film is Swayamvaram ….till the next is considered.
A sincere and a passionate attempt
Shri K Rajashekar has made a very nice film ‘Buddha’ and it was screened at Prasad’s last night. The film is not only crisp, engaging, educative and informative …gives a message to shun violence. Sunil who didn’t impress in Sundarakanda did a wonderful job and so did rest of the cast. At the end of the [...]
Call Centre shifted
Kanmani’s Call Centre has moved from Feb to March 21st tentatively. The shooting part and editing is over, dubbing is on. The audio release is in the first week of march.
Morning Show Muchatlu - Andamaina Manasulo
The setting is idyllic, there is a college campus in the mountains, it rains without rhyme or reason and there is a whiff of romance in the air. Tushar (Rajiv)is an orphan (this word is banished by the end of the film) and it is not long before he and Sandhya (Ramya)are drawn [...]
Bhardwaj (Global Jintata) strikes back!

Ullipora telivithetalu
Yesterday a few NRIs and some people from here met Naga Babu and asked him, “already memu koti roopayalu spend chesamu development work meeda, assalu meeru rajakeeyalloki vastara lera?” to which NB replied, “april lo announce chestamu, CM is in a mood to dissolve the assembly. If we are not serious why will we leak [...]
Konchem history unearthed
A source says Sirish Baradwaj who rose to fame (thanks to media) with his infamous act comes from a well to do brahmin (read grandpa) family. Though not financially sound b4 and at the time of his elopement the fact that he was funded by politicians, PJR notwithstanding cannot be ruled out. Sirish’s father Ramana Moorty [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Ontari
If you’ve had watched Kanmani’s Na Oopiri and appreciated it’s aesthetic sensibility, you’d sure appreciate this one which has been given a commercial touch and an engaging screenplay. Despite starting out with all the earmarks of a fairly ordinary romantic plot, the film develops into a surprisingly effective look at a man’s quest to come [...]
Lobbying maroka sari
Awards konadam putchukovadam manaki kotthemi kaadhu. The Late Doondy said an actor’s career like Shashank’s (Anukokunda Oka Roju) was stubbed sometimeback. Ee sari kooda adhe case. It’s sad that guys like Mahesh Babu and Sharwanand’s work is ignored and is pushed into special categories, compensation ana maata!
