Irrespective of their striking glamour and looks, some heroines can't
just taste the pie of luck in Tollywood. One such beautiful babe is now
booked aside Hero Ram for his latest movie tangled with issues.
After the debacle of 'Endukante Premanta', Ram focused on one film at a time and signed a movie with Bommarillu Bhaskar. After shooting for a while, lead girl Shuba Phutela walked out of this flick 'Ongole Gitta' and movie went into budget issues as they roped another girl. Now, the second girl is also out and beautiful yet flop record holder, Kriti Kharbanda is paired with Ram as a lead girl. For a girl like Kriti, who has no single hit among Boni, Teenmaar and Mr.Nookayya, this is like bread falling in ghee.
Currently, our Bangalore model Kriti is having a couple of films in Kannada circuit, but nothing here. Let us see if she breaks the jinx of flops and delivers a hit for Ram or not!

Firebrand MP Lagadapati Rajagopal met Home Minister Shinde today to submit a 16 page report about the need for united state
and how things shaped in AP due to the greed of few politicians during
T-March. He dropped an 'atom bomb' on KCR after that meeting.
'KCR is in Delhi not because Congress invited him but to beg Congress leaders to divide this state. He has put up a proposal of making Hyderabad a Union Territory and rest of the state into two pieces', stressed Lagadapati. He pointed out that KCR should meet Home Minister to discuss about bifurcation but not others like Vaayilar Ravi and Azad.
'Near-defeat win in Parkal has shivered KCR that his political existence will get into trouble if state is not divided. He has come to Delhi only to avoid T-March, but not on invitation', he adds. Lagadapati confirmed that KCR has not met Shinde and there is no question of Telangana at any time.
'At any point, say it UPA government or Congress, we've never separated any state. Only a common opinion of all political parties will help the state divide. And, if T is given, then there is UP, Vidharbha and Goorkhaland kind of 15 more demands across India for separate states. This is not possible', said Lagadapati. The shocking revelations made by him have heated up the political circuits of Andhra Pradesh.

Situation looks tough for Congress in 2014 with many issues troubling
the ruling government. For this reason, Delhi bosses are opting to merge
other parties into their kitty and here is Kiran's reaction about that.
Speaking with National media, Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy felt that mergers are not at all required if all our MPs and MLAs unite and stand on the same word. 'If our people unite, mergers are not at all required. Anyway, Sonia will take a decision about merging YSR-Congress and TRS into our party', said CM Kiran. With these words, CM has indirectly confirmed that talks are going on at Delhi level for the merger of these two parties into Congress.
With CBI slowing down already in Jagan's case and TRS leaders not taking part in T-March, already there is a doubt about the merger even before 2014 polls. Analysts say that there will not be an immediate case of merger, but they cannot rule out the possibility of coalition.

The combination of director giant Rajamouli and mass raja Raviteja
became lethal when they delivered 'Vikramarkudu' together. Imagine what
happens if this association repeats. Check this story.
Mass Raja is going through a lean patch of sorts from a long time. After delivering three back to back disasters, his only hope is Parasuram's 'Sir Vacharu'. However, Raviteja has signed his next movie with 'Eega' producer Sai Korrapati, if buzz is to be believed. Insiders revealed that Rajamouli is penning a story for Raviteja and this will be directed by his associate director Koti. With Sai Korrapati on the pedal, the budget of this movie is going to be lavish while Rajamouli mark action and fun are key ingredients. And, even if 'Sir Vacharu' gives mixed results then this film should do the needful for our energetic hero.
On the flip side, the pre release business of 'Sir Vacharu' is not so exciting till date and only if teasers of the movie hit tinsel town, the chances will be better.

The final call of selecting a theatre for a particular movie will be
taken by a theatre owner itself. And if they demand particular movie or
particular heroine's movie, what will our distributors do than getting
it.
Coming weekend is going to be a tight fight between the comedy of our aged hot heroine and revenge of our aged six pack star. Both Sridevi and Vikram are going to lock horns this Friday with their 'English Vinglish' and 'Siva Thandavam'. Trade experts are saying that many theatre owners are ready to give scope for Sridevi's show, but are backing off from Vikram's movie. This is because of the Sridevi's popularity factor as star diva, who enthralled Telugu audiences more than a decade. Also, the negative talk surrounding 'Siva Thaandavam' is making theatre owners to shift focus towards Sridevi's flick.
But all movies have to release anyway and Vikram too got equal craze among youths if the senior citizens and forty plus folks are watering their mouths for our aged beauty. Irrespective of this favouritism, let us see who will have a last laugh.

Most heroines arrive at certain point in their career that they don't restrict from doing anything on the screen. The likes of Shriya and presently Tamanna are the best examples. Reports have that another milky siren Hansika is also joining this brigade. For all her recent movies, say Settai in Tamil and Denikaina Ready in Telugu, our milky siren has upped the sex appeal factor. The way she is displaying some erotic expressions on the face and seductively teasing with her tempting glamour, one will definitely feel the tinge. They say that Hansika Motwani is ready for some steamy scenes and French kisses now. Anyway her 'Settai' is a remake of adult comedy 'Delhi Belly' and one can expect some teasing there too. In the same way, Manchu Vishnu's movies are always a dish of excessive oomph by heroines. Let us see what is Hansika having for us in the store. However, Hansika has confirmed a couple of days back that she will not be doing adult content, as her present 'show' is enough to flatter people. Well, to have confidence is okay but only 'hits' will decide what she has to do in future.

Rishi
to Rebel performance by Prabhas is awesome. Rebel proves Prabhas
capacity as a hero who could mantle the film on his shoulders from start
to finish. Unlike most heroes, an average Prabhas film has many
prominent roles that share the glory of success, but this one is a solo
show by Prabhas, worth a watch. This film is released today with pomp
and grandeur, globally.

Story
The story is about an avenging son, Rishi (Prabhas) set out to Bangkok to woo a dancer,
Nandina (Tamanna) to get hold of certain secrets that will get him
closer to the villains. In the process he succeeds, just at that moment,
the heroine
realizes his mission. While probing on the hero she gets to know about
his flash back. Then Prabhas the son of mafia don Bhupathi (Krishnam
Raju) is a vagabond and enjoys his life. In the process he tries to woo
another girl Divya (Deeksha Seth). Then a sudden turn of events takes
place as Bhupathi is cheated by his own brothers Mukesh Rushi and
Simhadri (Pradeep Rawat).
This leaves the hero with no other option but to take over the mantle from his father
to avenge the issue. With the help of his father's Man-friday Raju
(Supreeth), Rishi transforms into Rebel. And the rest of the story is
about how he avenges and finds out what happened to Divya and Bhupathi.
This bit has to be watched on the bigger screen and not in between the
lines of this review.Analysis :
If you are looking for the Prabhas of Mr Perfect, then Rebel is sure to disappoint you. However macho
man turned action Prabhas has done his best in Rebel, though Lawrence
could have matched his performance with a powerful narration. On the
other hand the director tried his best in depicting Prabhas in a
different way. Lawrence is ever smitten by the flash back bug and this
time too, the episode gives a specific turn to the narration, an
unexpected one. Prabhas had been his best but the story needed to be
tinkered to build up the necessary momentum, revealing the lack of home work by the director. Comedy fell flat and failed to widen your lips for a smile.
Performance :
The
director could have done better, in spite of the actor emoting better
than his previous endeavors. Prabhas was well at home in his role which
had shades of a vagabond, lover boy and hard core Don. Looks like the
brawny hero of Tollywood had put up his best performance till date. A
treat to his fans.
Tamanna is an advantage to the film. The gorgeous
beauty was too much for the silver screen. Deeksha Seth was restricted
for the glamor doll act and was disconnected with the film. Veteran
Krishnam Raju still retains the spark in his role as the Don.And now coming back to the Director's role, many scenes in this film look like reminiscents of his previous projects. Like the Russian female fighters in the climax, western villains and the protagonists in female outfits, remind the film goers of the previous stints of the director, provided you are a die-hard fan of the director like me and have watched all his films.
Anyways comedy was not all that peppy. Brahmanandam could not recreate the magic as expected and Ali was misplaced in the whole show. Probably out here, the etching out of their characters was not up to the mark either. The solace was the extra brilliance of the cinematographer. While the director makes Parbhas shake his waists better with his ardent skills as a renowned choreographer. Instead of walking in songs Prabhas has given some moves that shall be remembered for long.
In a nutshell: Rebel is all about how Prabhas transforms from a vagabond son to a powerful Don, out to avenge his father's detractors. If you are looking for some hard core action films, which of course defies logic, then this is the one. Treat for Prabhas fans.
Pawan Kalyan's film after the block buster success of 'Gabbar Singh', 'Cameraman Ganga tho Ram Babu' is in a trouble as of now.
The
director of this film, Puri Jagannath who is known as a bliss for film
makers, who has a credit of completing the shoot of the film at the
announced date with in a less time and release the same, who has a
capacity to entertain the audience is one of the reason of the problem…
this director is not even attending to the post production work
for this October 18th release. if you remember, the audio of such a
film is directly released into the market without any event or a
hungama.
Director Puri has filed a complaint in Directors Council against the producer of this film, Daanayya, for not paying
him the remaining remuneration of 4.5 crores. till the time the film
maker not pays the amount, the post production work of this film and
Daanayya’s another film that is under the shoot, Charan starrer 'Nayak'
would put under the halt, as per the director’s council.
In
fact, Puri was a bliss for Daanayya to become a star film maker after
the success like 'Desamuduru'. according to some sources, a rift between
this director and producer made Puri to take such a move. however,
'Cameraman'. is in a trouble as of now.
Prabhas openly thanked Raghava Lawrence the choreographer turned director for his profound dedication on Rebel. The actor
seems to have heaped praises of the Director who also has composed the
music for this film. The actor also praised his co-star Tamanna for her excellent dancing skills and said that was a vital point for the film's success.
Rebel's global release on Friday has raked in fortunes for the producers, J.Bhagavan, J.Pulla
Rao. The mass entertainer is the talk of the town and Prabhas as Rishi
gets the most laurels. Prabhas was well at home in his role which had
shades of a vagabond, lover boy and hard core
Don. Rishi to Rebel performance by Prabhas is awesome. Looks like the
brawny hero of Tollywood had put up his best performance till date. A
treat to his fans.
Rebel
revolves around a high class youth who is affected by the sudden turn
of events and becomes a Don. This Don is out to avenge the detractors
of his father and is on the look out for missing ends. Rebel is a
simultaneous treat for Prabhas and Tamanna fans. A must film for action
lovers.
The
T March called as 'Sagara Haram' (garland around Hussainsagar) protest
on Sunday agitating for the resolution of Telangana, has made two good
friends part ways. Though these are just rumors based on some live
incidents, speculators say that there could be no smoke with out amber
beneath, an age old saying. The TJAC Supremo Prof Kodandaram called for
the protest to enlighten the imminent need for a separate Telangana
state carved out of the unified Andhra Pradesh state. The proposed dat
of September 30.
Right
from the beginning Telangana Rashtra Samithi led by K Chandrashekar Rao
was playing cautious role on the proposed march sending signals of
disinterest. But things worsened yesterday when the TJAC supremo made
an appeal to the activists to stay back for the night at the venue. In
spite of heavy rain many activists stayed back, but the TRS party cadre left the venue.
The reasons as per internal
sources is that the party backed out in between the march, because they
were not consulted over the extension. If it may be noted that on
Saturday, Telangana Jagruti Supremo Ms Kavita and the JAC Leader
Srinivas Goud requested the Police
Commissioner Anurag Sharma that since it is a peaceful march they
expected support from the government and the police department. But with
this announcement, things turned chaotic and the TRS did not want to be
a party to such unwanted commotions, probably say sources.
With police locking up the gates of the Osmania University for stopping the OU student march in support of Telangana statehood, tense atmosphere is prevailing on the campus. The sources said that the students allegedly pelted stones at the police personnel. They were even trying to jump out of the gates and go ahead with the march.
It
may be noted that OU JAC earlier called for student march towards
secretariat from Osmania University campus in support of Telangana
state. The march was, however, postponed to September 30. Notably, on
the same day, TJAC too called for a march on Tank Bund of Hyderabad.
Nonetheless, some students of the Osmania University said they wanted to
continue
this march on earlier proposed 27th itself (today) to prove that their
march was not political. And the police obstructed their march.
The Telangana Joint Action Committee supremo Professor
Kodandaram today expressed that the permission given by the government
for the peaceful T march on Necklace road had no use if leaders are
detained. He said on one side peace march is fostered by the government
and on the other hand it is arresting leaders. The T leader who had
called for Telangana March on September 30 said that it would be a
peaceful march and the government had granted permission for the same.
But by arresting some leaders the intentions of the government seems to
be dubious.
The Telangana Jagruti Supremo Ms Kavita and the JAC Leader Srinivas Goud today requested the Police
Commissioner Anurag Sharma that since it is a peaceful march they
expect support from the government and the police department. And also
requested the release of the arrested leaders. They also told him that
the route map for the march is yet to be received by the JAC.
On the other hand the Osmania University students requested the Home Minister
Sabitha Indra Reddy to permit them to join the T march at necklace
road. The Minister firmly denied the permission to the students.
When it comes to the audio companies not many players are in the field
today. The likes of Aditya Audio, Vel Music are the often heard in local
markets. But there was a time crazy director Puri Jagannadh also
ventured into starting his own audio label. It was called 'Puri
Sangeeth'. However, it came and went.
This happened during the time of the film 'Bumper Offer' which had Puri Jagan's brother Sairam Shankar as the hero. It is heard that Puri was given an idea by his close circles, "Instead of releasing on other labels and giving them profits, let us put one audio company. We can earn through caller tunes, ringtones and make a lot of money."
That gave rise to 'Puri Sangeeth'. But it was only after entering into the field, they realized the ins and outs of business and the challenges involved in it. Sources say Puri and Co lost sizeable money and realized this will not work out for them and 'Puri Sangeeth' became history.

These days collections of a movie doesn't depend on content or ratings
any more but only on timing and placement of the release. Well our
producers who got habituated to earning bucks on dubbing movies knew it
quite well.
Till the other day, release date of Tamil hero Surya's latest offering 'Brothers' (Maatran in Tamil) is unsure. The main reason is the release of 'Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu' on October 18th. But with Rambabu struggling with Puri-Producer issue, 'Brothers' has now decided to hit tinsel towns on October 12th itself. With no other big flicks around, Surya's movie is expecting to do wonders like 'Yamudu' again.
To counter 'Brothers', there is no big ticket entertainer from Telugu circuit, except Ram Gopal Varma's 'Boochi', and this is also a dubbed Hindi flick. This is what the
y say luck!

Usually it is easy for the heroines for obvious reasons. Anyhow, the focus now is on one girl. She is the milky thigh beauty Taapsee Pannu. According to sources, Taapsee has got a new godfather and that too in Bollywood. He is none other than the southern stud Siddharth. Apparently, Tollywood has given Taapsee a godmother in the form of the elegant celebrity Lakshmi Prasanna. Even Manchu Manoj considers her to be his sister. And now, it is heard that Siddharth is also helping Taapsee in Bollywood using his contacts. Soon, Taapsee would be arriving with her debut flick in Hindi which has been directed by David Dhawan. Whether she will be able to get a breakthrough with that or will Sidz pull few strings more has to be seen.
Rating: 3/5
Cast : Abhijeet, Sudhakar, Kaushik, Shriya, Zara, Shagun Gupta, Amala, Anajala Zhaveri and others
Directed by : Sekhar Kammula
Produced by : Chandrasekhar Kammul
Banner : Amigos Creations Pvt Ltd
Music : Mickey J Meyer
Release Date : 2012-09-14
Sekhar Kammula is a different filmmaker who doesn't follow age old cliches and formulas, but has set his own commercial formula which has clicked with certain section of audiences. His target audiences are youth and urban families and yet again he made a film that is targeted at them. Life is Beautiful is brand Sekhar Kammula film. Here are the details...
What is it about?
This film is set in a colony where there the rich and middle class families live in. Rich families live in Gold phase and poor and middle class families live in B phase. Rich and poor guys always fight with each other. Srinivas (Abhijeet) comes to this colony and he makes friends with Nagaraj (Sudhakar) and Abhi (Kaushik). All the three lives in B phase and they have frequent tiffs with Gold phase guys. The beautiful moments, love, pain and other sweet nothings in the life of three central characters is the main theme of this film.
Performances:
All the youngsters did well. Abhijeet is fine. Sudhakar is very natural with his Telagana accent. Kaushik reminds you of 'Tyson' in Happy Days. His characterization and love track with Shriya has striking resemblance to 'Sonia-Tyson' thread in Happy Days. He did an okay job. He fits the character well. Shriya is alright. Amala is good and Anajala Jhaveri is beautiful. Zara and Shagun Gupta are good. All the characters behave and don't really act. That is the beauty of this film on the performance side.
On the Technical Front:
Like every other Sekhar Kammula film, Life is Beautiful is also neat on the technical front. Cinematography is pleasant, production design is decent. Editing could have been crisper. There is so much lag in the film. Music by Mickey J Meyer is fine, but it isn't as good as Happy Days musical score.
Sekhar Kammula sticks to his strengths and make s a sincere attempt. There is no big story in the film and hence he has to make it up with good scenes and dialogues. He carried it along in a decent manner despite few hiccups.
Analysis:
First half of the film is anything but beautiful. Except for few funny moments here and there, it drags on and on with the same scenes repeating again and again. There is no story in the film till the interval part.
Thankfully, Kammula avoided the rich, poor clash in the second half and concentrated more on the characters. There are certain beautiful scenes and dialogues in this hour. There is a sentimental touch towards the end and it is heart touching.
Little girl's speech about mother is the best scene in the film. After dragging the film for nearly three hours Sekhar Kammula doesn't end it convincingly. Abrupt ending is one of the weaknesses. This film will not appeal to everyone.
If you are a fan of Sekhar Kammula movies and if you have loved Happy Days very much, Life is Beautiful too will satisfy to an extent. Except for some good moments, Life is Beautiful is not a great film. May be it is the weakest of Kammula's till date. That doesn't mean it is bad. We intend to say that his previous films were better.
Verdict: Life is Beautiful, but... yeah, it is beautiful!
Making almost a bad remake of 'Oh La La..' song is what Rani has done now with her latest 'Dreamum Wakeupum' song for the movie 'Aiyaa'. After seductress Kareena Kapoor, Rani too tried to imitate Vidya Balan in this sleazy number where she wore raunchy outfits exhibiting her out of shape flab. Though the lyrics are hilarious and have a double meaning, the song takes a critical take on South circuits with heroine showing immense love for dark guys. But what will shock one and all is Rani's sleazy look and unwanted exposure of skin in 'naatu' dances. We have to see if this will bring any luck to her flattened career.
'Aiyaa' is being directed by award winning Marathi film maker Sachin Kundalkar and he is also promising a huge sky rocketing in Rani's career after this movie. Wait and see the seductress before giving your verdict guys.
The TRS party chief is in Delhi from a long time and there is no single
bit of information from him about his meetings or T-issue. But here are
his detractors who are accusing him of getting ready to cheat people
again.
'KCR is a cheater and he is getting ready to cheat Telangana people once again', said RTC ex-chairman and Jagan loyalist Gone Prakasa Rao. 'His whole strategy is for the welfare of his family but not for the people of this region', he accused. He breathed fire as to why KCR is not taking any other leader with him to meet Vaayilar Ravi. 'Reports are saying that KCR gave nod to Hyderabad as joint capital. But that means cutting the state into three parts, which is not acceptable', he adds. However, all these critical takes on the pink-party leader are just answers to speculation but we have to wait for KCR's word to know what exactly is happening.
Congress MPs, on the other side are feeling that within next three months a decision is to be taken on Telangana, which otherwise will prove critical for the existence of party.

Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit is still the hot favorite for many even
after married for 12 long years and being the mother of two children.
So, no one would hesitate to pay as much as she charges.
The actress is not only known for her acting skills, but for her excellent dancing skills as well. She agreed to be the judge of fifth season of the popular dance reality show 'Jhalak Diklha Ja' on Colors channel. Guess, what's her pay package? It's a whopping Rs 1 crore per day! She is one of the very few celebs in the country who were paid such a big amount.
Madhuri's comeback film 'Aaja Nachle' turned out to be disaster at the Box Office, but her stint on the Small Screen seems to be quite successful and most importantly she appears to be enjoying it the most. Her judgement on the performance of the contestants and suggestions to the performers were earning her brownie points. Even at the age of 43, Madhuri's energy level can't be matched by many of the youngsters. She is completely comfortable shaking her leg whenever a special guest attends the show or on contestants request. Let's wish her a super career ahead!

Director Sekhar Kammula is one of the most talented filmmakers in T town today. Despite all his talent and skills and moreover being successful, Sekhar hasn’t made much money in all these years. Not having command over the distribution wing didn’t allow him to excel as a producer. He sold off movies at low prices by playing safe.
His fears turned out to be gold mine for the people who bought his movies for low prices. However, with all those past experiences Sekhar Kammula is aware of everything in the field and he knows how to make money. One of the leading distributors offered him 10 to 12 crore rupees to bag all the rights of Life is beautiful.
Although it is a pretty good offer for a movie made with newcomers, Sekhar believed that his film has much more potential than that. So he sold off the movie to various buyers from various areas and as per sources LIB made 18 crores from the theatrical rights itself. If you add satellite, audio and other rights it would be close to 23 crores. Finally Sekhar Kammula has made some money with Life is Beautiful. No wonder the director looks upbeat and pumped up in the promotional events of this film.
Attending a marriage function in Hyderabad, Ghulam Azad has allotted sometime for key Congress leaders and for media too. Surprisingly he revealed high command's mind about Telangana, making fun of what KCR is telling all these days.
'We've not come to any conclusion about Telangana issue. And there is no deadline for us to take a decision about it', confirmed Azad, speaking with press. All these days KCR is saying that he got signals from Congress about Telangana and even stressed that Azad asked him to stay back in Delhi for a discussion. Responding to these comments, Azad shot back 'I'm not aware of these signals Mr.KCR is getting. We haven't even consulted him about Telangana. I don't know what is happening with him'.
Azad's words are making clear that all the vision of KCR regarding T -state by September is false and funny. At the same time Congress is also not interested in solving T-issue at the moment. CPI Narayana says, 'KCR is just deviating and spoiling T-movement with his words. At least now he should open eyes'.
None other than the home minister of India has revealed to media that
there is no question of taking a decision on Telangana for now. Home
Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde has now created ripples in our state
politics with his words.
'There is no scope for any all party meeting regarding Telangana for now. Andhra Pradesh is a naxal hit state and we should carefully study that first', said Sushi Shinde, Home Minister of India. 'When other states like Jharkand are formed, Naxals have plunged to power and we'll not let that happen in AP', he added. Shinde sounded like he has complete understanding of AP scenario, including the proposed Telangana march September 30 and confirmed that he knows what KCR talks. If we have to go by the statements of Azad the other day and Shinde today, there is no scope for bifurcation of state in the near future.
With two back to back blows from Congress top brass, KCR now got a tongue in cheek moment and we've to see what he will do next.

Happy Days or Udaya Bhanu in Leader, the software director uses
something bold. Here is his latest list.

And there is Shriya to jerk that oomph factor while rest of the girls are cute but ravishing.

Movie : SHIRDI SAI
Rating: 3.5/5
Cast : Nagarjuna, Kamalinee, Srikanth, Srihari, Sai Kumar, Sarath Babu and others
Directed by : Raghavendra Rao
Produced by : Mahesh Reddy
Banner : AMR Sai Krupa Entertainments
Music : MM Keeravani
Release Date : 2012-09-06
Nagarjuna who has done two memorable devotional films Annamayya and Sri Ramadasu has come up with yet another devotional treat Shirdi Sai. This film was also directed by Raghavendra Rao and there were many hopes on this film. Shirdi Sai fulfils the main purpose it was made for. It will strike right chords with the devotees of Sai Baba.
What is it about?
This film is about Lord Shirdi Sai (played by Nagarjuna) evolution and his life until the death. Sai comes from nowhere to Shirdi and settles there. Within no time people realize his greatness and turn into his staunch devotees. Few people (Sayaji Shinde) don't like him and wanted to send him away from Shirdi. But Sai Baba brings change in everyone.
Performances:
Nagarjuna has outdone himself with this film. It would easily rank amongst the best ever performances of Nagarjuna. Nagarjuna is known for his glamour, but the way he has made this character believable is unbelievable. His performance in the climax scenes is very good. Nagarjuna has many chances to bag number of awards for portraying this character.
All others did a fine job. Srikanth is good in the brief role given to him. Sarath Babu delivered a neat performance. Sai Kumar's character is not utilized properly. Kamalinee made her presence felt. Sayaji Shinde's character is annoying. It is included to generate humor, but it failed miserably due to bad writing. Srihari did a guest appearance. He is alright.
On the Technical Front:
Shirdi Sai is a typical Raghavendra Rao movie on the technical front. Music by Keeravani is good if not great. A couple of songs will haunt. Background score is impressive. Cinematography is neat. Editing is okay. Producers honest attempt to make a memorable film is laudable.
Raghavendra Rao did a decent job. He deliberately kept everything short and sweet as Sai Baba's story is well known to many. He handled the emotional scenes so well and proves yet again that he is a master in getting emotions right.
Analysis:
Shirdi Sai takes into a different mood and world right after the beginning. Director tried to give some clues about the origin of Shirdi Sai, which is still a mystery. Story moves along at a quick pace with nice usage of songs at the right places.
Sai Baba's teachings about life are uplifting. His confrontation with Nanavali (played by Sai kumar) is one of the best scenes in the film. There are some good dialogues in this scene. Despite the weak comedy track, first half impresses with neat orientation.
Second half is even better. Director makes sure that this half is wrapped up within an hour and hence the audiences don't get bored at all. There are some touching scenes in this hour. Climax sequence is the best of the lot.
Shirdi Sai will appeal to the target audience and has good chances to make good money at the box office. Watch it if you are devotee of Shirdi Sai.
The news is everywhere that Nandamuri Balakrishna and Nara Lokesh are
going to lead the wings of TDP in the coming days, with Babu going onto
roads to brace the root levels. But what will be Jr.NTR doing and when
people or TDP cadres will call him into party?
Busy with his shoots and films, Jr.NTR already mentioned that he will not enter active politics for now and declared that people's wish marks his coming. But what are his fans looking at, is his entry into Telugudesam as a star campaigner for the party. However, Balayya's promise that he will enter into full time politics is giving no space for the young tiger in the party. And, Naidu is also talking a bit about Jr.NTR, but fully concentrating on Balayya and Lokesh only.
Analysts feel that split started when Jr.NTR's close friend Kodali Nani jumped into YSR-C and the actor disassociating himself from the incident but not showing interest to woo him back into party. On the flip side, Balayya is playing a trouble shooter to get back all those people who left Telugudesam back into the cycle-fold.
They say that Naidu is executing a perfect plan to keep all the power aspirants from Nandamuri family at bay. We have to think other side of coin too and let us see what happens with Jr.NTR in the coming days.

In yet another ghastly incident, Hindu extremists have once again attacked girls and boys for partying hard in western ways. Reports are indicating that some of the attackers tried to molest three girls and video evidences are also proving this.
Activists of Hindu Jagarna Vedike brutally attacked people partying at a resort in Mangalore. When some scantily clad girls tried to escape from their clutches in fear, they have dragged back and thrashed. Though the party-goers pleaded that they are celebrating a birthday,the activists slapped both girls and boys as they are indecently clothed. What is so brutal is that this entire scene is recorded by a couple of reporters and aired on TV channels. Some attackers are heard molesting a couple of girls in an inebriated state. By the time police reached the scene, the activists have fled the scene.
Already, Mangalore police have made seven arrests in the incident so far as they are getting huge pressure from authorities including CM to take strict action against HJV activists. No doubt, this incident once again proves that India is getting Talibanised.
In Telugu film industry, only heroes sons get to take their fathers
legacy ahead. Our heroes are not open minded in allowing their daughters
to take up acting career. That is not the case in Bollywood and in
Tamil film industry. Our heroes are against this only because of the
fans. They don't like to see their idol's daughters dancing in skimpy
outfits and donning glamorous roles.
But there is always a chance to play decent roles and pursue acting career without doing any damage to the father's image. For instance Krishna's fans didn't like Manjula to act as heroine. Although she did a couple of films, Manjula never took it serious as she didn't want to upset her father fans. Only Manchu Lakshmi has taken acting as a serious profession and is rising to higher levels with each film.
Lakshmi Manchu's performance in her debut film itself was wonderful. She has won accolades for playing the role of evil queen Irendri in Anaganaga Oka Dheerudu. Her stunning performance in Uu Kodathara Ulikki Padathara climax is getting rave reviews. She has Gundello Godari movie lined up for release in which she played the lead role. With Manchu Lakshmi's success as an actress we could see more star daughters to shine on Telugu screen for sure. Kudos to Lakshmi for being a trendsetter.
