Back to square one

All the effort and excercise in rescuing the under aged children from exploitation in apartments has gone waste. We had gone to prepare a case study of each child and there were only three left in the transit home. The employers had paid a penalty of Rs 30,000 and got ‘recommendation’ letters from the labour [...]

Vying for attention

The essence of cricket has changed with the T20 matches and it has shown that people are passionate about cricket and it is indeed a very different to experience it first hand. Imagine 70 thousand spectators braving the hot and humid summer in the stands and billions savouring it live on the idiot boxes for [...]

Inka roju pandage….

All these days people would clamour for and surround film stars just to have a glimpse at cinema shootings. Ippudu prajalaki vadda herole vastaaru. Looks like the film industry will announce 3 months holidays for election campaigning as shootings will be stalled with hero’s and their supporters (small stars) will hit the roads to ask [...]

Rahul speech lo resonance ledhu

I recently read an article about how columnist Ashok Malik was dissapointed with Rahul and want to share it with you. He refers to people who think that Rahul Gandhi is not hardworking hard enough and that he has not become the sort of 24 hr politicians they are accustomed to and that he has other [...]

Court meeda nammakam undhi

Corruption, boot-licking, media-prostitution…such strong words have come out of the closet thanks to the manipulation by a section of journalists who have the qualification to decide as to who are eligible and who are not for getting the house sites alloted by the govt.
We members of Film Critics Association hate to wash our ditry linen [...]

Attention kosam Collectors poti

Two days back Dr Reddy’s and Pratham helped the Enforcement Team raid the apartments in Kamlapuri Colony. Akkada collector ki full marks. Media coverage baaga votchindi. Now adhi choosi Kukutpally area Collector ki inspiration votchi had pressurised the team to conduct a raid today. So on his request within two days another crack down on apartments [...]

Needed clarity in BO reporting

Years back oka cinema 100 days run aithe adhi hit ane vaalam but now a movie is a sure fire hit or a block buster in the first week. The trade pundits might analyse that due to increase in screenings at multiplexes and hike in ticket rates a film earns as much in a couple [...]

Straight Talk

Ask Suresh Babu the reason for Venkatesh’s continuous success at the box offioce, if it is his meticulous planning or his safe method of sticking to formula films. Suresh replies, “It’s simple, none of the films that released during Venky’s movies were good, so automatically his subjects worked at the BO. Honestly speaking from the [...]

Sivanageswar Rao named her Trisha

After the raid that took place at Kamlapuri Colony a couple of days back, the children both maids and rag pickers were taken to a transit home run by a missionary in Bolakhpur in Musheerabad. So far none of the employers have contacted this place to enquire about the children or to take them back. Since this [...]

The producers & directors care for them

The photos down below are of the kids who work and live in Film Nagar. The NGOs and Foundations are doing good work in diverting the children to school during 9 am to 5 pm. Kudos to the producers and directors for sending their maids and domestic help for a few hours to study. We [...]

For the few minutes of fame

The TV channels are flooded with programmes by the children, be it dance or mimicry, songs etc. These are the ones who will one day be the stars of TFI but at the moment they are drawing almost nil for the performances in the films. The child artistes draw 1000rs per day if they work [...]

Morning Show Muchatlu - MMKR

Four characters spill mirth in Michael Madana Kamaraju, a Kamal Hassan starrer but this one by Nidhi Prasad (who directed Bagyalakshmi Bumper Draw and Andaru Dongale) has three people Michael (Prabhu Deva), Madan (Srikant) and Kamaraju (Sunil) all engrossed in finding the love of their lives in their own special ways.
This story bears no resemblance [...]

Vimukti

Employment of children below 14 is an offence:This morning the Task Force along with the anti-child labour dept conducted a raid at Srinagar Colony and booked all the people who employed children as servants and domestic help for less than minimum wages. The Reddy’s Foundation along with Pratham joined the team in the recue act and they later took the [...]

Morning Show Muchatlu - Bomanna Brothers Chandana Sisters

This Naresh and Krishna Bhagwan film has more laughs than any of the recent movie. The plot is old and simple but what makes it watchable is the way every conceivable joke is thrown up on the screen. Now, this movie is not for everybody. If you hate dumb jokes, require a plot, are politically-correct, [...]

A prestige issue for small films too

An exhibitor says that it is very common for producers to offer big money and book the theatre for the next one month, just to show that the film is running successfully. Heard the director of the recently released film Sawaal has offered the theatre management a very good sum to run it for the next 30 [...]

It’s never too late….

Its high time that the ‘N’ clan accepted Tarak as their family member. Peddatanam peru lo kaadhu, paddati lo kooda vundaali. When the TDP can utilise his services for campaigning, they should have the magnanimous quality in accepting him into their fold. A Nandamuri fan argues and says today Tarak is big because of the [...]
