At the launch of ‘Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani’ promo, the media fired the actors - Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor with questions about their relationship. The entire conversation eventually turned towards their relationship. Deepika was also asked about the 'RK' tattoo which she had imprinted while they were in a relationship. At that time, Ranbir jumped into the chat to defend her. Deepika was stumped. After that Ranbir answered all the awkward questions directed towards her. Even after the press conference, Deepika was baffled, so much so that when she was backstage she got emotional. The leggy lass thanked Ranbir with moist eyes. Few who were present around saw tears rolling down her eyes. Sources close to Deepika share, that at heart she is a simple girl. She apparently could not handle her relationship being questioned and discussed in public. Well Deepika…we think you should now learn to tackle such tricky situations because Ranbir won’t always be present to help you out…

Swamy Ra Ra Movie Review March 23rd, 2013, 12:00 AM IST Movie : Swamy Ra Ra Rating: 3/5 Cast : Nikhil, Swathi, Ravi Babu, Pooja Ramachandran and others Directed by : Sudhir Varma Produced by : Chakri Chigurupati Banner : Lakshmi Narasimha Entertainments Music : Sunny Release Date : 2013-03-23
Swamy Ra Ra is a low budget film which didn't rise any expectations among the film lovers. However the film has a decent star cast to grab the attention and director Sudhir Varma made his attempt count with the limited resources he has in offer.
What is it about?
Surya (Nikhil) a pickpocketer falls in love with Swathi (Swathi), from whom he steals a bike. Swathi lands in a trouble due to a stole idol of Ganesha and Surya has a part to play in it. Now he has to save her from deadly goons who are after that invaluable idol.
Performances:
Nikhil is decent as the pick pocketer. His usual over enthusiastic nature is missing and that is a welcome change. He did well as the lead man with a neat performance. Swathi is fine as the innocent young lady. She impresses with her cool attitude. Pooja is striking as Nikhil's friend. Ravi Babu is competitive. Jeeva is routine and all others did well in their respective roles. Most of the star cast consists newcomers and all of them are good.
Technicalities:
Music by Sunny is an asset. His background score did the talking for this technically well made film. Cinematography is top notch for a film made in a very limited budget. The technical crew deserves a pat for making this technically brilliant in all aspects. Editing could have been crisper though. Dialogues penned by the director are alright. Director Sudhir Varma is an ardent fan of Ram Gopal Varma and there are many scenes and instances where he reminds you of vintage Varma. The director also is inspired by Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie. The film is made in the lines of Lock Stock and two smoking barrels and Snatch. Director has a style in conceiving action scenes and it is commendable.
Analysis:
Despite all its positives, Swamy Ra Ra fails at times due to slow pace. This gets on to your nerves during few scenes. Director is fond of slow motion camera movements and he implements that style in chase sequences too. The film pleads to rush the proceedings and director took his own sweet time to wrap things up. That is the biggest minus for this film.
If you can pardon its pace, Swamy Ra Ra makes a decent watch for its premise and technical finesse. It is pretty hard to find small budget gems these days. This film is one of those rare good films in this zone. This film will impress the audience who look for some variety. The director was caught in a dilemma whether to make this a thriller or a comedy and he ended up somewhere in the middle.
If he had a clear idea about the genre and stuck to his guns this film might have been a better one. However, despite the short comings, Swamy Ra Ra is worth watching and will appeal to the target audience. It has a fair chance to work in A centers if promoted well.
Verdict: Nice work Swamy!
Already, the makers have roped Samantha for the role of one of the female leads and now Tamanna was chosen to occupy the other spot. The milky babe herself confirmed signing the film of a debutante actor.
According to the reliable sources, Tamanna was offered Rs 1.25 crore to sign the film and the beauty grabbed it immediately as she can't say no to such lucrative offer even though she was asked to share screen space with a new comer.
However, sources close to the actress deny that money is never a criteria for signing a film and it's always the content of the script that matters the most.
Tamanna has three projects in her kitty at the moment. A Bollywood film with Akshay Kumar, Ajith's next film and Bellamkonda's project.
Generally we see songs on age of hot-bombs as item-songs in Telugu movies. Mumaith's song in Pokiri is an example of it that goes 'Ippatikinka Na Vayasu Ninda Padaharey'. But now our mass-raja is singing a song praising the hotness of heroine who is in a right age of sensuality and for romance. 'Paathikella Chinnadi...' is the latest tune Ravi Teja is grooving too alongside red hot siren Shruti Haasan. This is a part of 'Balupu' movie which is getting shot at Ramoji Film City right now.
Sources revealed that Ravi Teja will be seen in a 'pakka' mass avatar in this song praising the beauty of hot girl Shruti will all possible masala superlatives. Shruti Haasan is also going for a complete masala look to enthral B & C centre audiences. Once again Thaman is composing for Ravi Teja, and we have to really wait for this song.

Rating: 2/5
Cast : Mahat, Pia Bajpai, Archana, Brahmanandam, Ali and others
Directed by : Madhura Sridhar
Produced by : MVK Reddy
Banner : Shirdi Sai Combines
Music : Sunil Kashyap
Release Date : 2013-03-15
Director Madhura Sridhar's latest offering Back Bench Student has caught the attention of few eyeballs due to its packaging and promotion. The director was immensely confident over his product that he conducted a huge Premiere show for this film. However the results haven't turned up as expected.
What is it about?
Karthik (Mahat) is a poor student who doesn't take his future seriously. As a result he fails in studies as well as loses his girlfriend Priyanka (Archana). But he has few skills that would help him find a good job. Chaitra (Pia) helps him to find job and gives him hope. Now Priyanka returns into Karthik's life but he is already in love with Chaitra. How this triangle ends up is the rest of the story.
Performances:
Mahat is a poor choice to portray this role. He is weak in expressions and the awkward dubbing didn't do much good either. He tries too hard to impress but unfortunately he doesn't have it in him. Archana is alright. Should have taken care about her lip sync. Pia Bajpai's poor expressions failed to get the desired impact. Her character was supposed to be damsel in distress, but she lacks talent to pull it off. Brahmanandam and Ali are wasted. Rest of the star cast did okay in their respective roles.
Technicalities:
Madhura Sridhar targeted young audience yet again. But his imaginative skills and narrative skills are pretty limited. He has noble ideas but couldn't convert them into a good film. He has failed as a writer and director and also is an utter disaster in getting the desired output from his team. Music by Sunil Kashyap is a pain. None of the songs are good and the background score is sheer torture. Cinematography is inconsistent, but never goes up beyond below average mark. Editing is very poor. Production values are okay.
Analysis:
Back Bench Student is like a film made with a team of back benchers. None of the team have put up their hand to pull this off. Story starts off an alright note and treads along in an okay manner for few minutes. But the director is left clueless after sometime. Meaningless scenes and aimless direction makes things worse for Back Bench Student. The film's fate is evident by interval point.
Any hopes of a better second half dies down immediately as the film heads in a predicable path with mediocre scenes. Anybody could guess the climaxand director made valiant efforts to make it watchable but in vain. Ali and Brahmanandam are thrown in to lift the hopes up, but neither of them could help the ship from sinking. Few dialogues are good and that is the only bright side in this film.
Attractive title might help the film to get some collections in the opening weekend, but it doesn't possess anything worthy to stand tall at the box office. Back Bench Student is Madhura Sridhar's weakest film till date.
Verdict: Back Bench Student fails in all aspects!
