Hyderabad, Nov 11: Hardly before the controversies over ‘Women in Brah Ready’ subsided, fresh controversy arose over the just released film ‘Bus S Students organizations SFI and DYFI have launched agitation, demanding said had too many double meaning dialogues and obscenities. Students have raided the Sandhya theatre at the RTC cross roads and torn burnt an effigy of the film makers. Alleging that the censor board has tot warned that they would stop screening of the film all over the state from tension at the Sandhya theatre as students raided when producer Bellam unit members were watching the film. Police rushed to the spot and arrest

New Delhi, Nov 10: A 20-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her boyfriend here after being abducted by him and his two friends, police said. One of the accused has been arrested.

The girl was abducted by the trio accused in a car from west Delhi's Shahbad Dairy around 5 p.m. Friday and was allegedly raped by her boyfriend Sonu, 22.

"The accused later dropped her at a secluded place threatening her of dire consequences if she told anyone," said a police officer.

"One of the accused Ashvini alias Ashu, 20, has been arrested and the hunt is on for the other two," the officer added.

Sonu is an ex-classmate and boyfriend of the victim. He abducted her with the help of Rinku, 20, and Ashvini and raped her, added the officer.

A lot of drama is happening around the censor board of Hyderabad because of the recent spate of controversies which emerged due to ‘CGR’ ‘DKR’ etc. Now, one more film has joined that list. It is ‘Bus Stop’. This is directed by Maruthi who is known for his shady movies like ‘Ee Rojullo’.

As expected, the censor board came down heavily on the film and ordered a straight 45 cuts. The producer of the film Bellamkonda Suresh was shocked with it and in no time he approached the Review Committee. He had reportedly expressed shock over the way the entire series of cuts have been given.

So now, it is heard that the review committee has shown some mercy and ultimately gave ‘Bus Stop’ a clearance with just five cuts. Bellamkonda might be breathing a sigh of relief but then the film was due for release on November 9th and this fell into jeopardy due to the censor issue.
But now, the news is confirmed that it is releasing on 11th Nov.

Neelakanta’s upcoming film Chammak Challo is going to be his first experiment with romance. So far, he has made off beat and slightly different films like Show, Mr Medhavi and Virodhi and now he’s dabbling with a conventional romantic entertainer. The film has a tagline ‘Love Lo Logic Ledu’. Varun Sandesh, Sanchita Padukone and Catherine Teresa are playing the lead roles in this film. Vennela Kishore, Srinivas Avasarala and Chinmayi Ghatrazu are playing important supporting roles and Brahmaji will be seen as Varun Sandesh’s father. The film’s audio is going to be launched on November 10 at Ravi Narayana Reddy Auditorium. Kiran Varanasi has scored the music and Ranganath Gogineni has cranked the camera. The film will hit the screens soon.

Richa Gangopadhyay was in for a big shock recently after rumours began doing the rounds about her marriage. Several gossip sites have been writing about her alleged relationship with photographer Sunder Ramu for quite sometime now; however, the actress categorically denied all rumours about her relationship with Sunder Ramu. A leading newspaper has quoted her saying that they are just good friends and that she has no plans to get married anytime soon.
Meanwhile, Richa recently wrapped up shooting her part in Thenkasi for Prabhas’ upcoming film Mirchi. She’ll soon start shooting for Nagarjuna’s next film titled Bhai. Apart from these two films, Richa is also part of Ravi Teja’s next film titled Sir Vacharu. From opting out of Allu Arjun starrer Iddarammayilatho to refuting rumours about her marriage, Richa Gangopadhyay has had a hectic week already.

Social networking is the in-thing in today’s times and many are using it in different ways to get what they want. With girls becoming more independent and bold in their lifestyle, they are getting the maximum advantage. Reports are arriving of a new trend being observed among college girls.

It is heard that those girls who are passing out of colleges have discovered a new way of getting jobs. They are going to the famous social networking site Facebook and tracking which company CEOs are there. Some are targeting the HR managers of different companies and making friends with them.

They are approaching them directly and ‘entertaining’ them in the way they wish and getting jobs. Of course, not all girls are doing this but some girls are reportedly not hesitating to go to any extent to get a job. In this process, few fakes are projecting themselves as HR guys and taking advantage of few girls in the name of jobs.

Intelligent director Krish's latest flick 'Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum' has an interesting thing happening on the front. While the movie is carefully shifted to a later date to avoid competition, it is also giving no scope for our seductress to seduce audiences.

Reports have that Nayantara's complete romantic scenes are said to be chopped by Censor Board for overdose of glamour. In some scenes, director tried to bring out romance by using double meaning dialogues and they are also axed. Cleavage scenes, naval displays and waist shows in songs are asked to either blur down or completely remove them. Without them, can Nayantara jump into elite bandwagon of super sexy starlets like Tamanna, Samantha and Kajal is a big question. Censor Board is said to be completely strict with this picture after looking at the recent issues of Rambabu and Denikaina Ready.

On the other hand, fights in KVJ are asked to reduce their intensity by 50%, which is another ridiculous idea given by Board. With all these conservative rules in place, can Rana-Nayan's latest offering stand commercially strong is something we have to wait and see.

It is not a secret that Bhumika Chawla husband Bharath Thakur is Yoga guru for Anushka.  But not many know that he also controls her properties in Hyderabad.

Anushka is among those actresses who get paid about Rs.1 Cr per film. The lanky actress has reportedly left it to Bharath’s responsibility to collect her remuneration of film she acts and maintain them. It’s also heard that even Anushka’s personal expenses also will be settled by Bharath’s office.

It is reported that Bharath is not just collecting the remuneration, but investing them in real estate in the actress’ name.

Bhumika is not in her prime and Bharath Thakur incurred huge losses in production house and Cine Magazine. Should we say Bharath is acting as a manger to his student Anushka? Who knows !!!

Hyderabad, Nov 9: Noted film poet Jonnavithula Ramalingeswara Rao has received threatening calls for criticizing Manchu Vishnu's Denikaina Ready. 

Participating in a TV discussion on Thursday, Jonnavithula has said it was atrocious that Hinduism and Brahminism was degraded in the film.

He said it was wrong to think that humour could be created by demeaning a Brahminism and Hinduism. He said in a scene where a Brahmin performs Chandi Yaga in Nepal, his wife keeps telling every male that he was like her husband. He said that scene has shown Brahmin women in a very bad light. He has demanded that such scenes should be removed. 

Soon after that discussion was telecast, some callers told Jonnavithula that they would come to his house and break his head. Jonnavithula has said that the callers had abused him in unprintable language for criticizing Mohan Babu, though he had criticized only the film and not any individual. 

Responding to the complaint, noted actor Shiva Krishna has said that it was unfortunate that Jonnavithula was threatened for voicing his opinion on the film. He said there were never such incidents in the past and said such trends need to be checked. 

Meanwhile, Brahmin youth leader Dronamraju Ravi Kumar has condemned the threats on Jonnavithulaand said the entire Brahmin community was with the writer. He said Brahmins who generally do not get into controversies, could turn into Parasuramas when the need be. He said, Brahmins were also "Denikaina Ready".

Santiago, Chile, Nov 9: A video advertisement meant to create awareness on breast cancer has created furore in Chile as it focused on cleavage of young women as they work, exercise, breastfeed -and even during sex. The campaign urges men to encourage female friends and relatives to have their breasts examined frequently to prevent breast cancer. However, anti-breast cancer groups refused to support video claiming it 'objectifies women'. The groups criticized the video stating that women were treated in the video as sex objects.' The campaign, called 'For the love of t**s', is meant to persuade men to encourage their wives and girlfriends to have their breasts examined. Critics in Chile say the footage, which includes a couple apparently having sex and a mother breastfeeding a baby -objectifies women. The 45-second video has been viewed by 409,000 people online. It features women in the office, at home, in a swimming pool, the shower and even the bedroom. And it ends with the written message: 'If we like them so much, we should look after them. Encourage a woman to have a breast examination.' Gonzalo Baeza, creative director with the agency responsible for the video, Lowe PORTA, said: 'The aim of the ad is to get men to encourage their wives, friends and relatives to examine their breasts.' But Ana Cox, from the anti-breast cancer organisation 'Yo mujer' (I woman), said they refused to be linked to the campaign.Women were filmed doing every day activities, such as a playing with a pet dog, taking a shower, swimming, and even having sex. Ms Cox said the advertising agency offered to put Yo Mujer's logo on the ad but that 'after studying it we didn't accept, because it was using the woman like an object. 'Personally I think anything that encourages women to examine their breasts is good, but we couldn't go with that idea.'Initially the advert was reported to have been funded by Chile's ministry of health. But the ministry denied any link to the campaign after controversy arose.

Karimnagar, Nov 8: TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao has said that he would go from village to village and tell people how the Congress party has cheated the people of Telangana.

Speaking to the media after the two-day brainstorming session of the party here on Thursday, KCR said from now on, there would be no electoral truck with Congress or for that matter with any other party.

He has said that despite all odds, people of Telangana could keep the movement alive for 12 years.

Recalling that the Prime Minister has asked him to maintain peace after the Sakala Janula Samme and assured to solve the Telangana problem, he said though he has kept his end of the promise, the government had not kept its end. Stating that the Congress leaders had asked him to merge his party in Congress in return for Telangana, he said he has accepted to even that after consulting all his colleagues.

He said he told the Congress leadership that he was ready to merge his party if Telangana with 10 districts and Hyderabad was conceded. He has lamented that the Congress party had still not come forward to concede Telangana. Stating that there would be no deadlines from now on, he said there would only be ‘death lines’. He has appealed to the students not to lay down their lives for Telangana. He said it would now be their aim to achieving Telangana and reconstructing it. He has warned that the Congress rulers would see 'Narasimha avataram' in KCR from tomorrow. There would be no begging from now, it would be ordering, he has thundered.

KCR has also said that they had decided to be in the forefront of fight on local issues.

KCR has demanded increase of the scholarships of SC, ST, BC students, liberal aid to the farmers who lost everything in the floods, provision of quality power to domestic consumers, 7 hour power supply to farmers and 12 subsidized gas cylinders. He has also demanded release of Rs. 150 cr. for the Kakatiya festival from the state Government.

Telugu producer Bellam Konda Suresh, who produced commercially successful action-comedy "Kandireega", wants to recreate the same success with his new film, which is yet to be titled.

Santosh Srinivas, who directed "Kandireega", will helm the new project.

"I'm working with the director again because I'm sure we will make the film as successful as 'Kandireega'. The success of the last film persuaded me not to change the lead cast of the new film," Suresh told.

While Ram and Sonu Sood will be seen again in the cast, Shruti Haasan has been roped in to play the leading lady.

Dharmavarapu Subramanyam, Brahmanandam Kanneganti, Raghu Babu and Sayaji Shinde will also feature in the cast.

S.S. Thaman will compose music for the film, which will go on the floors soon after Ram completes his ongoing project.

Initially, the makers wanted to make a sequel to "Kandireega", but now they are going ahead with the new untitled project.

Singer Lady Gaga was photographed topless while she relaxed in a hotel balcony in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

The 26-year-old was photographed covering the top portion of body with a coconut on Nov 7. She was in her underpants and tried to cover her lower portion with a towel.

Gaga will perform in Rio De Janeiro Nov 9, at the Parque dos Atletas (City of Rock) venue.

Texas, Nov 8: The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has strongly condemned scenes and dialogues in the film 'Denikaina Ready. 

GHHF said in a statement released in Texas that the portrayal of Brahmin community is demeaning, belittling, mocking and contemptuous. Further the movie ridiculed the Hindu customs and rituals, glorified the deception, elevated the dishonesty, promoted the vulgarity, encouraged fraudulency, and attacked the very fabric of Hindu morals and ethics. The film makers showed no respect for the aesthetic values, the sentiments of the community, human decency, honesty, and Hindu rituals, said the statement.

GHHF demanded the government, Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and the movie producers, directors and actors to withdraw the movie immediately until further re-certification. "We support the efforts of various organizations demanding the withdrawal of the movie from showing and also to file criminal case against the producer Manchu Mohan Babu and director G.Nageswara Reddy under Indian Penal Code.  We also demand the government to conduct a thorough investigation of the incident where the Brahmin priests and Brahmin community members who were demonstrating peacefully in front of Mohan Babu’s residence were beaten by sticks, live in front of police, public and TV media and bring justice by punishing the culprits who roughed up the priests", the press release said.

The GHHF explained why it was demanding withdrawal of the movie. It said following are some of the examples that are considered offensive and insulting in the Telugu movie “Denikaina Ready”:

1. Brahmin Archakas, who participated in Chandi Homa, were shown to have eaten Haleem, which contains meat of a sheep. The Director was clever enough to patch the instance at a later scene in the movie by casually mentioning that it was not Haleem, but vegetarian kheer. Was this necessary?

2.  A young Brahmin priest is often called by the Hero as Pilakaleni Pilla Pantulu or Pilakaleni Pilla Sastry (meaning a priest without his Shikha, which has a very deep spiritual meaning, obviously not known to the ignorant and arrogant producer, director and the actors of the movie), which is quite offensive and disgusting to the entire Priest community.

3. One of the young Brahmin priests who is invited to perform Chandi Homa is projected as being behind a young Muslim neighbor girl using unnecessary romantic language which is totally unrelated to the flow of the movie and depicts CHEAP comedy.

4. Actor Brahmanandam in the movie repeatedly mentions that “You Brahmins will do what ever it takes, if you are given Sambhavana” which portrays Brahmins as beggars and dependent on people’s alms.

5. One of the Brahmin priest’s wife is shown to be a very loose lady, who is always on the lookout for men visiting her home, trying to get them involved in sensual talk. This is simply demeaning for any Hindu lady leave alone a Brahmin lady.

6. In one other scene, the Brahmin priest’s wife is shown to be accepting an inter-caste marriage for her son with the girl of Naidu caste, not because of the love for her son, but mentioning “Money is everything” since the girl is from a rich family. This truly pulls down the morale of all families; let aside Brahmins projecting all is acceptable if money is thrown.

7. Worse of all, a Muslim whose name is Suleiman, who is the Hero of the movie (real life name: Manchu Vishnu) acts as a Brahmin priest, will be singing a movie song instead of Holy Mantras, totally demeaning the Homa and Yagna rituals in Hinduism.

8. In one other instance all the Brahmin Archakas who would be performing the Chandi Homa, simply stop chanting the mantras twice, because they are shown to be greedy of Rs. 2000 offered by the heroine. Any veda mantra or vedic chanting is not supposed to be stopped from the beginning to the end unless prescribed so. What was the director trying to show by projecting this cheap comedy?

The international organization has demanded that case must be filed against the Central Board of Film Certification for it’s total failure to enforce it’s own guidelines. It also said that it is astonishing to find about the laxity shown on the part of CBFC in granting Certification, ignoring it’s own guidelines and besmearing the high standards that are supposed to represent the best of the society.

Hyderabad, Nov 8: The Police have identified that the money seized on Wednesday from an auto in front of DGP office here belongs to one Ramarao, who hails from Kurnool district. Ramarao surrendered in front of the CCS police on Thursday afternoon, and   stated that the money belonged to him. Rama Rao is the trust chairman of Bala Sai Baba, a Kurnool-based lookalike of Satya Sai Baba. There are several allegations including land grabbing against the Baba in the media.  

Speaking to the media after inquiring about Ramarao’s credentials in all angles, Central Zone DCP Tharun Joshi, said that they handed over Ramarao to Income Tax officials for further inquiry. 

Joshi said that Ramarao had withdrawn Rs.4.90 crores from the Andhra Bank, Domalguda branch, to purchase 27 acres of land in Mysore City. Ramarao lent the remaining money. Ramarao has changed the Bala Sai Baba Trust’s FDs as money.

The Police has also identified that Ramaro was residing at Domalguda area and was also chairman of Bala Sai Baba Trust.

According to Joshi, Ramarao said that he had all the required documents of the money. Ramarao also said that the land deal was finalized with one advocate Ansari and he had come to the City on Wednesday.

It may be recalled that the police seized Rs.6.70crores from an auto which was suspiciously stopped in front of the DGP office here on Wednesday.

A man suddenly turned violent causing a mid-air scare by raising islamic slogans and threatening to harm the aircraft on Mumbai-Delhi IndiGo flight.

Mursalim Shaikh (41), a second hand car dealer, unusual behavior caused panic situation inside the aircraft. The flight had taken off from Mumbai at 3.45 pm on Wednesday. After an hour Shaikh started abusing the aged lady in his back seat and when an air hostess asked him to sit properly, he lost his temper and slapped her. He then waived a cellphone to the passengers, said 'sabko dekh loonga' (I will teach a lesson to everyone) and started threatening with loud shouts. Co-passengers swung into action to pin him down when Shaikh tried to enter the cockpit.

The passenger was handed over to CISF at around 6.13 pm. Police have lodged a case of criminal intimidation, assault and threatening the crew against Shaikh and he will be produced in Dwarka court in Delhi Today.

Ace comedian Brahmanandam on Thursday apologized to the Brahmin community regarding the objectionable content in the recently released film Deniakaina Ready.

"I am apologizing if my role had hurt any individual or the community. In the recent past, I have deliberately cut down playing such roles," said Brahmi to Brahmin Sangham leaders who appealed him not to be part of the films which degrade their community.

In a major setback to Mohan Babu, the committee appointed by state government to review the film has declared that there are few objectionable scenes in the film. "We have seen the film and discussed thoroughly about the objectionable dialogues, scenes and song sequences in it. A report will be submitted to the government on Sunday," says a committee member.

Brahmin community heads had demanded a ban on the film for allegedly hurting the religious sentiments. Seems like, the controversy may come to an end now with few cuts based on committee's report.

Movie : LUCKY
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast : Srikanth, Meghana, Roja, Brahmanandam and others
Directed by : Hari
Produced by : Rajeshwari
Banner : Raja Rajeswari Pictures
Music : Sai Karthik
Release Date : 2012-11-01

Hero Srikanth's latest film Lucky is out in theaters now. Srikanth has been out of form since very long and was completely out of buzz prior to Mahatma. Understandably Lucky movie released with zero hype around it. Considering Srikanth's track record as a centurion hero, Lucky is a notable film as far as Telugu cinema is concerned. Check the details of Lucky.

What is it about?

Lakshmi Narasimha who is fondly known as Lucky (Srikanth) is a unhappy man who is not satisfied with his job or his family. He hates women as most of the women in his life only torture him. He gets a special power of knowing what women think and then his perspective changes.

Performances:

Srikanth simply sleep walked through the role. He is believable as a man in mid thirties despite being older. His performance in the scene where he compares women to wifi network is hilarious. Meghana has nothing much to do except for looking admiringly at Srikanth. There are few popular actors in the support cast. Roja is alright as the strict lady boss.

Brahmanandam has been wasted. AVS is fine. Tagubothu Ramesh and others didn't have sizeable roles to make an impact. Sana didn't look like Srikanth's mother and it has been confessed by Srikanth himself.

On the Technical Front:

Dialogues are not up to the mark. This film is intended to be funny most of the times. But poor writing didn't help the cause. Cinematography is strictly okay. The methods that are implemented are mostly outdated. Music is mediocre. Sai Karthik didn't compose a single impressive tune. Director Hari failed in the writing department itself. He could have made this a laugh riot. Despite having good concept on hands, he failed to translate it into a decent film.

Analysis:

Lucky is a blatant copy of 2000 Hollywood romantic comedy 'What Women Want'. The main plot has been lifted from that film and director added few commercial elements to suit our tastes. However, he has failed miserably with pretty bad writing.

Except for few scenes which are genuinely hilarious, Lucky is a badly made movie. First half is fine with few good laughs, but second half mostly runs on dramatic mode. Terrorism angle given to the film was an utter failure. Those scenes were so stupid that its impact might give an impression that watching Lucky is sheer waste of time.

Despite having fair chance to make this a good entertainer, director couldn't make use of talented star cast. Saying so, Lucky is far better than Srikanth's films like Ranga the Donga etc. Poor openings suggest that Lucky may not be so lucky on the commercial front. You may wait for the home edition if you are planning to watch it.

Verdict: Phew, Srikanth's Bad Luck still haunts!

Wife Swapping, a term that was alien to the Indian community till sometime back, is being practiced openly and brazenly today.  It's the newest of dangerous liaisons in modern relationships. Wife Swapping is basically the exchanging of wives between two couples, for engaging in the forbidden sensual pleasures. Till only a decade back, Indians had not even heard of the concept of wife swapping and those few who knew about it, considered it to be unfathomable. But, within the past few years, the concept has gone from being a taboo to being openly experienced.

Film writes who always on the hunt for new subjects found one in ‘wife swapping’. Here the protagonists swap their wives not for sexual pleasure, but for the love.

As per the ‘novel’ script, Aarya is deeply in love with a girl while Jai and Nayanthara are inseparable lovers. In a weird turn of events, Jai marries the girl who was earlier in love with Aarya and Arya marries Nayanthara. Both the couples live as ‘married couples’ for the sake of the society but there is hardly any physical intimacy between the quartets. Jai and Aarya meet up and discuss the pathetic plight of their respective lives and decide to ‘swap’ their wives leading to a happy climax.

A R Murugadoss is producing this Rom-Com movie titled ‘Raja Rani’.

Observers say that Nayan who is already facing ire of woman organisations for breaking the marriage of Prabhu Deva will sure land in trouble for acting in ‘wife-swapping’ script!!!

When there are two heroines in a flick, definitely one need to sacrifice a bit in terms of screen-time and this makes her the second fiddle. Till date, it is thought as Punjabi siren Taapsee, but even she is also sidelined now.

Puri Jagan's latest outing with stylish hero Allu Arjun, 'Iddaru Ammayilatho' is making quite a noise regarding its heroine selection. Wide eyed Amala Paul is confirmed as lead girl long back, but the question is about the second fiddle girl. Strikingly bold Richa Gangopadhyay is the first option, who was later replaced by sensuous Taapsee. According to latest grapevine, Nani-Krishnavamsi's 'Paisa' movie heroine Catherine Tresa has finally signed the dotted line to play this role.

Well, both Richa and Taapsee have opted to lose 3-4 projects for the sake of this flick, but finally both got hard blows. Let us hope these two pretty beauties will come up with much more exciting projects.

Hyderabad, Nov 7: Tension prevailed in the Osmania University campus here Wednesday after students clashed with police during the funeral procession of a youth who committed suicide for a separate Telangana state.

Violence broke out in Tarnaka near the campus as students, who wanted to carry the body in a procession to Gun Park near the state assembly, clashed with the police. 

As they were prevented from taking out a procession, the students threw stones at police personnel, who retaliated by firing teargas shells.

Police also resorted to baton charge near English and Foreign Languages University (EFLU) and a B.Ed. college on the campus to disperse the protesting students.

Amid tight security, the police later shifted the body of V. Santosh to an ambulance and sent it to his native village in Adilabad district, around 300 km from here.

Frustrated over the delay in the formation of a separate Telangana state, Santosh committed suicide, leading to the tension.

Santosh, a degree student of a college in the city, hung himself from a tree in front of the Arts College in Osmania University, which has been witnessing violent protests for three years over the statehood issue.

The student resorted to the extreme step Tuesday night. He left behind a suicide note, blaming "ruling classes" for creating hurdles in the formation of a Telangana state.

Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) convener M. Kodandaram visited the campus to pay tributes to Santosh and appealed to the students not to sacrifice their lives.

Osmania University students' Joint Action committee called for a shutdown of all educational institutions in Telangana.

The university postponed all examinations scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.

Over 600 people, mostly youth, have committed suicide in the last three years demanding a separate Telangana state.

In a rather ghastly incident, a couple of software engineers from Hyderabad city, who are working as call-boys (male prostitutes) are caught in a popular Telugu channel's sting operation.

After losing morale and a penchant to earn easy money, some Software engineers from the Hitech-City are taking up this route. It is revealed that rich married woman whose husbands stay away somewhere in the other part of the world are buying these boys for nights by shedding huge money. The call-boy den owners are running a website with information about all the available boys, and payments are accepted only through credit cards. As the call-boys are software engineers, they have easily created this hi-tech setup very easily to earn easy money.

'While politicians are doing prostitution with democracy, and raping our system, why should we worry about these innocent male prostitutes?' asks popular writer Posani Krishnamurali. But he finally condemned the acts of call-boys.

Kangna Ranaut was a dazzling sight at the Blenders Pride Fashion Tour 2012, held at the Hotel Grand Hyatt in Mumbai, when she walked the ramp for designer Gavin Miguel.Kangna was little nervous but showed didn't miss to show her oomph and sexiness on ramp.

The Fashion girl worea white maxi gown.The added glamour element to the ensemble was the cut of the dress: the low neckline and ripped below the thigh was so provacatiing.

But perhaps she showed off more skin than she intended to. Wardrobe malfunction or not, looking Kangna was a eye feast to many at the event. What about You? 

Ever since curvaceous Arabian horse Anushka Shetty debuted as super hot seductress in Nagarjuna's 'Super', this pair started teasing youths of Tollywood. Though they got only a couple of instances to sizzle, this time their on-screen magic is turning more lights on. With producer RR Makers' Venkat confirming that 'Damarukam' is going to hit theatres at any cost, expectations are on a rise about Anushka's sizzling quotient in the flick. A talk is doing rounds that our Sweety has shown her oomph factor again in this flick. It is heard that there is a lip kiss in this flick between Nag and Anushka and that takes place below the sea. This underwater song is going to be a part of a song but not any particular scene. However insiders stated that there is a small peck on the lips but not a French style kissing session. Let us wait and see about the this most speculated lip-kiss of Tollywood between a never-ageing romantic hero and a teasing beauty.

After delivering some good movies, this director turned a 'budget' master and became the man with an iron touch. He is none other than Gunasekhar, the man behind superhit 'Okkadu' and superflop 'Nippu'. Reportedly Gunasekhar is going to reveal about curvaceous Arabian beauty Anushka tomorrow. From quite a time, there is a huge buzz that this director got a producer now to make another big budget extravaganza. This will be the story of Rani Rudrama Devi of the Kakatiya Dynasty. It is much hyped that Anushka will be playing the lead role in this flick as she has already done such a role in 'Arundhati'. Wait till tomorrow to know what exactly Gunasekahr will reveal about the in and out of Ansuhka. On the other hand, Anushka is going to prove her hotness again with 'Damarukam', says RR Movies Venkat who stressed that the film is hitting screens on November 9th at any cost.

Hyderabad, Nov 4: “Give a politician enough rope, and he may hang his whole party by disclosing its innate contradictions and opportunism”.

By now, the screaming and shouting is over and the dust seems to have settled over the Sagara Haram (Telangana March) and so called signals said to have been received by KCR on Telangana from Congress high-command, thanks to the latest statement of Shinde, Union Home Minster that decision on Telangana has national repercussions indicating that the Congress is not in a hurry to settle the issue. 

The Telangana campaign after the momentum generated by Telangana March and ongoing Padayatras by CBN and Sharmila somehow haven’t reached fever pitch to generate delirious abuse and one can, for the moment, reflect on the sad state of “Andhra Pradesh”.

The saddest part is that Andhra Pradesh on the boil not so long ago has returned to simmer. There is no danger—at least in the government’s eyes—of the wrath of the people spilling over and sweltering all in its way. Appearances can be deceptive, and to our mind this is the case at the moment.

“CBN and YS Jagan, KCR and Kodandaram, Raghavulu and Narayana, Vimalakka and Gaddar, coastal Andhra MPs and Telangana MPs” all are busy playing their own game. Not one of them seems to have a people’s perspective. 

The Congress leadership has convinced itself that the CBN is in such a sorry mess that he can only shoot himself in the foot if he tries to aim the gun at the ruling party. With one squinted eye turned towards enigmatic YSRCP leadership and unpredictable TRS supremo, CBN in fact does appear more than confused.

In politics of Andhra Pradesh, there are no areas of convergence among TDP and YSRCP and TRS and neither miss an opportunity to lash out at the other on the slightest pretext. Yet, surprisingly, there are stark similarities in their approach towards state politics. 

While YSRCP and TRS are providing outside support to the Congress-led state government “to check the growth of CBN as an alternative”, TDP on its part facing charges of colluding with the Congress to halt the emergence of YSRCP and consolidation of TRS. Every one of them is critical of the Congress’ vendetta politics and policy inertia on various issues and is ready to rally the public against it, but none is eager and in an hurry to target the Congress. 

And, while all actors on the political stage have called for the ouster of the Congress government to have an early election for the Assembly, none is keen to oust the government just now.

It came as no surprise; therefore, that KCR has been on a “switch on- switch off” mode on a decision to relaunch the movement. True to the form of personality-oriented political outfits that his TRS has been reduced to, his party leaders authorized him to take a decision at “appropriate time” and KCR has been allowed to plan his next moves in a leisurely way in the confines of his farm house. 

A similar chore is being repeated in the TDP and YSRCP where the final call will have to be made by CBN and YS Jagan respectively depending on their convenience.

Their politics may be in jarring contrast. Yet, their motivations are not much different. YS Jagan has already spoken publicly about his Chief Ministerial ambitions. 

In case of KCR, it is the political grapevine’s worst kept secret. Each of them is involved in back-channel communications with the political establishment ruling in the Raisina Hills. 

The allegation leveled by the TDP that the Congress high-command is dangling the sword of CBI over YS Jagan and keeping KCR under reins by reaching tacit understanding with him on the strategy to be followed pending final decision on Telangana, may be a cry of desperation. But it is not without an element of truth.

There are other similarities in the style of politics these traditional rivals in Andhra Pradesh. While CBN has forged an OBC-led combination of minorities and a sprinkling of other castes, in the case of Jagan the pyramid has Reddys at the top and the rest downward. 

On the other hand, KCR, a shrewd politician endowed with an uncanny sense of timing, is mired in arrogance that he is capable of reigniting the passions of Telangana people whenever he wants. He is least cared of the average Telangana protagonist who felt let down with his theory of signals, and continues to enact his gimmicks with his narrative on his prolonged stay in Delhi and his supposed fruitful discussions with the Congress high-command.

On sidelines of above, there are many a maverick leaders and virtuoso individuals who have began to shift their loyalties particularly from the Congress and the TDP and are jumping either into YSRCP or into TRS in search of their political future.

Matters are further compounded when ‘all these so called "Aya Rams and Gaya Rams" are advised by the respective party Presidents no less, to remain within the strict confinement of Laxman Rekha. The trouble is that mythological precepts from the Ramayana can’t be blindly prescribed for the much darker times of the Mahabharata. Men of straw either in the government or in the Opposition can’t lead their compatriots away from the precipice in these dark times.

 

So much for politics of principles! Three Cheers for politics of opportunism!

Hyderabad, Nov 5: Telangana Nagara Samiti leader Nagam Janardana Reddy has given a shock to the TRS chief KCR by making it clear that he would not join a party that was poised to merge in the Congress.

Talking to the media after BJP leaders including Kishan Reddy and Bandaru Dattatreya met him here on Monday, Nagam said he was confident that BJP-led NDA would create Telangana state. Stating that Congress was the number one enemy of Telangana, Nagam said statehood to the region would not be a reality until that party was finished. He said the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh would have understood the sentiments of people if he was directly elected by the people.

Though he has also made it clear that he was not joining BJP, his statement about not joining TRS and expressing confidence on BJP was being regarded as a step towards joining the party at a later date. Nagam said he would work closely with all parties committed to Telangana including BJP. He said he would tour the Telangana districts from November 23. BJP has announced its support to this Yatra. BJP state president Kishan Reddy has also said that they had not invited Nagam to join the party. He also said that his party would work with Nagam.

The film 'A Woman In Brammanism' stirred a controversy due to it's objectionable content in the trailers released on Youtube. Brahmana Aikya Vedika stepped into action immediately and given a representation to chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy in protest against the film's disrespectful content targeting the Brahmin community.

The state government has constituted a committee to review the film and submit a report on November 10. The committee headed by IAS Officer Sahani attended the screening of the film Today and suggested few changes to the producer. "We have asked the producer to remove the word Brahmmanism from the title and also insisted him to chop off few objectionable scenes, for which he readily agreed and also given a written statement. We will submit the report to the government within two days," says the committee member Chandravadhan.

With 'A Woman In Brahmanism' getting clearance, the makers are planning to release it anytime soon. This controversy has given a huge free publicity for the film and the openings are expected to be good.

In a shocking development, an actress has attacked a director with chappals at a press conference on Saturday conveyed to promote the film 'Kotlallappo Kai'. Kannada actress Nayana Krishna and her family suddenly disrupted the press meet by hitting director Rishi with footwear and abusing him with foul language, alleging that he had cheated her of Rs 8 lakh. The director flew from the place immediately with the help of the unit members and later lodged complaint against the actress in the nearby police station. According to the actress, "Director Rishi borrowed Rs 8 lakhs from me by promising that he would return the amount as soon as possible. However, he didn't pay the amount and coming up with cooked up stories every day". According to the director, "A few youngsters including me and the actress have joined hands to produce a film. Few weeks back, she demanded me to return her money or to give away the rights of several areas which is worth over Rs 1 crore. I refused to give the rights and told her she will get her money back after the release of the film".

The top league of heroines is captured by Samantha, Tamannah, Kajal Agarwal and they are also making their moves into Bollywood. This leaves us with the second layer of heroines and two names have been figuring quite prominently in that. They are the duo of Taapsee and Anjali. However, who among the two is better, is the discussion. Taapsee started her career as a second female lead and slowly she is getting into solo lead. Recently, when she was approached for a second heroine role for a Tamil movie, Taapsee reportedly rejected it. Meanwhile, Anjali has got the potential to do solo heroine roles but she is underrating herself and is still finding comfort in doing second female lead. Actually speaking, Anjali is on top of Taapsee because she has the right native sex appeal, the immense acting potential and above all, a pleasing attitude which goes well for the cine circuit.

The youth wing of the Samajwadi Party's Maharashtra unit Saturday protested against filmmaker Ram Gopal Verma, who is shooting a movie based on the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack.

Nearly 200 Samajwadi Youth Party (SYP) activists led by their president Abu Farhan Azmi shouted slogans and waved black flags near Taj Mahal Palace & Tower Hotel which was the main centre of 2008 Mumbai terror attack.

"When we asked the local police how the movie was being shot on actual locales on Mumbai streets in the wee hours today (Saturday), we were informed that no permissions have been given to Verma to shoot anywhere," Azmi told.

Accusing Ram Gopal Verma of going back on his four-year old promise of not making a movie on the terror attacks, Azmi said that now former chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh is no more, the director has decided to make money out the sorrows of hundreds of victims and martyrs of the terror attacks.

"We have demanded that (Ram Gopal) Verma must not shoot anywhere on actual locales of the terror attacks and mock the Mumbaikars, he can shoot in studios if he is so keen on the movie," Azmi added.

The SYP has also demanded that since he has failed to keep his word to the late Deshmukh about "never making a movie" on the terror attacks, he must make a commitment to donate all the profits of the movie to the victims and survivors of the terror incident.

"We also want that he may make and release his movie only after the sole surviving terrorist, Ajmal Kasab is hanged. Nobody should be allowed to glorify a terrorist or terror acts by immortalising them on film," Azmi said, threatening to intensify the party's agitation.

Incidentally, Ram Gopal Verma had shot to the headlines when he visited the terror-ravaged Taj hotel a couple of days after the attacks. But, at that time, he scotched all speculation and said he would never make a movie on the terror attacks theme.

Hyderabad, Nov 3: The State government constituted a nine-member committee to study objections raised on controversial film “A Woman in Brahmanism” on Saturday. It asked the committee to submit its report by November 10. The secretary of Women and Child Welfare department has been appointed chairman of the committee. The committee would watch the movie and submit a report within a week.

The Brahmana Association and political parties have alleged that the film portrayed Brahmin women in a very poor light. The Brahmin association also threatened to obstruct the film in the entire State if it was released for screening. Following objections from various associations, the State government has decided to stop the film.

 Film producer said that they have made the film based on a novel titled ‘Brahmanikam’ penned by Chalam in 1937. Brahmana Associations came down heavily on the film director and producer for insulting the women in Brahmin community. It may be mentioned here that the director and producer of the film have already said they would delete all the objectionable scenes in the film. After the committee submits its report, the government might give a green signal for release of the film.

When Mahesh Babu is onscreen, it is very hard to focus on anyone else so usually the heroines tend to get sidelined. Of course, they make their presence felt with their own visual feast wherever possible and when Mahesh is not in the frame. But here is one girl who seems to be rubbing shoulders with the prince aptly.
Her name is Kriti Sanon and she happens to be the new find of director Sukumar for his new movie with Mahesh. Kriti is a regular in the TV circuit and is part of many ads and commercials. This is her first stint with cinema. The talk among media circles is Kriti looks good and is acting very well too.
If this is true then Tollywood would have got one more beautiful and talented actress to fill the top league heroine drought. From her end, this sure is a dream start for Kriti because she gets to pair with the number 1 superstar and is getting groomed under the most talented and demanding directors.
