With massive number of special benefit shows arranged in Erragadda to Kukatpally stretch, Fans have thought that ticket prices will be within the economical range from Rs.1000 or Rs.1500.

Telangana folk singer Madhupriya, who hit the headlines with her high-voltage drama on her differences with husband Srikanth, is now finding it difficult to sustain her life.
She now wants Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to come to her rescue and show her some livelihood.
In a television interview, Madhupriya said she had also played a major role in the Telangana movement.
“Since the age of six years, I had been actively participating in the Telangana agitation and inspired people with my singing. Now that the Telangana State has become a reality, people of Telangana are leading a happy life. But my own life has become miserable,” she said.
Since KCR has done a lot of favours to those who took part in the Telangana movement, Madhupriya wants that she too be shown some way to sustain.
Though she did not say it so explicitly, she is said to be expecting a role in politics by joining the TRS, if KCR invites her. That’s a little too much for an immature person like Madhupriya
Mumbai: At a time when marriages and relationships are going kaput in tinsel town, actress-turned-entrepreneur Shilpa Shetty, who believes she has "middle-class thinking" says “discussions” and “arguments” are normal in any marriage.
Shilpa is married to businessman Raj Kundra.
“I feel that discussions, arguments in any marriage are very normal. But how you get over those and resolve (them), that is important,” Shilpa said on TV show “Yaar Mera Superstar”.
Karisma Kapoor-Sanjay Kapur, Hrithik Roshan-Sussanne Khan and Arbaaz Khan-Malaika Arora Khan are a few celebrity couples who have parted ways after having trouble in their paradise.
“However you resolve it, you need to make sure you do it within that circle of marriage. That’s why I feel I’m a bit middle-class in my thinking. Trust and respect are very important for a successful marriage.
“We should keep the marriage simple and never feel like you’re married to keep the complications away,” added Shilpa, who has son Viaan with Raj.
Shilpa and Raj got married in 2009. It was Raj's second marriage.

She is yet to come officially on board.” -

In a shocking revelation, Saritha Nair, the key accused in the infamous solar scam in Kerala, alleged during a live show on a popular Malayali TV channel on Sunday that the state's Chief Minister Oommen Chandy sexually exploited her at his official residence.
The channel also aired a 24-page letter letter written by Saritha, which was confirmed by her saying that she had written it in 2013 in police custody. "Yes, this letter is mine and I wrote it I will not discuss the contents, but all what I have written is correct," Saritha said.
However, Kerala CM Oommen Chandy suspected a conspiracy behind Saritha's revelations. "I suspect a conspiracy behind this. This is the latest attempt to bring down my government," Chandy said alleging that the timing of the letter is highly skeptical in view of the upcoming elections.
In 2013, Saritha and her live-in partner Biju Radhakrishnan were arrested on charges of cheating a number of investors who paid huge amounts to the tune of 6 crore for solar panels. 30 cheating cases were registered in several courts against Saritha and Biju.

Bellamkonda Suresh, who started his career as a production manager, has come a long way and went onto become successful producer. After producing several big-budget films with stars like NTR, Balakrishna, Venkatesh, there was no stopping for Suresh. Suresh had earned a name for paying staggering remunerations to stars. Suresh stands in the front row in paying hefty cheques to stars and increasing their fees drastically. However, poor financial management, lack of proper planning pushed him to troubles. Now, Suresh filmy career is on a downward spiral.
It all started with debacles of his production ventures Rabhasa, Alludu Seenu. Though Alludu Seenu managed to clock in good revenue than expected, the film's over-budget took a toll on Suresh leaving him mired in debts. Although he managed to clear them to an extent, he still had few bad debts.
With recent film Speedunnodu, for which Suresh said to have funded the project, suffered colossal loss, Suresh woes increased drastically. Though he might have sold the film to buyers for a good price, but buyers who lost a chunk of money are mounting pressure on Suresh to compensate their losses. If this is not enough, recently Kotak Mahindra Bank seized his office in Film Nagar for non payment of debt and reports also surfaced that Suresh sold of his own house and moved to a rented flat to overcome this financial situation. Many star heroes who once did films with him are shunning away to work with him knowing of Suresh's current situation.
It's sad to see a big Telugu producer going through such phase. Hope Suresh will soon overcome this phase and will make a comeback. -

Nara Rohith has been coming up with films one after another within a short gap. Still his movies are much looked forward to as he is known to come up with different scripts.
When "Savitri" was announced it had raised curiosity for its title and also director Pavan Sadineni had shown promise with "Prema Ishq Kadhal". So does this movie live up to curiosity it had raised? Let's find out...
Story
Savitri (Nanditha) is mad about weddings. She wants get married to anybody as she is dying to see her own marriage ceremony. When her elder sister gets married, her father (Murali) and uncle (Ajay) start searching for an alliance. And they come to know that a doctor is good match for her and ask him to see his daughter.

On the happy mood, Savitri heads to Shirdi by train from Vishakapatnam.
On the train she meets a guy Rishi (Nara Rohit) who is a doctor and he falls in love with her immediately. She doesn't encourage his love tease but has soft corner for him. When he proposes her seriously, she rejects him and heads to her home. Then the drama moves to her home.
Artistes’ Performances:
Nara Rohith has got the role of playing a lover boy which doesn't suit his body language. So, he has seemed so uncomfortable in it although he has done good job in the action episodes and other scenes. But it is the time he needs to shed his weight.

Nanditha has suited well to the role of Savitri. Murali has played a similar role has done in "Bhale Bhale Magadivoy". Ajay is good.
Dhanya Balakrishna is okay in a brief role. Vennela Kishore provides some laugh. Prabhas Seenu, Satyam Rajesh, Ravi Babu and other actors are just okay.
Technical Excellence:
The film is shot mostly in sets except the train episode. So it has some good production quality. Visuals are ordinary. Music is bland. Editing is totally bad. Dialogues written by Krishna Chaitanya doesn't suit to the story. Even when the scene is so clichéd and lacks depth, the dialogues sounded with heavy words.

Highlights:
- Nanditha
- Fairly better narration towards the end
Drawbacks:
- Old Story
- Silly drama in train episode
- Beaten to death screenplay
- Lack of good songs
- No convincing conflict
Analysis
Nara Rohith has won good name for picking up unusual scripts in the initial stage of career. With films like "Baanam", "Prathinidhi", "Rowdy Fellow", Nara Rohith has become darling for new age directors and an image was created that his films can be watched for its hatke nature. Sadly, Nara Rohith too has joined the bandwagon of masala movies.

Sadly, Nara Rohith too has joined the bandwagon of masala movies.
After "Tuntari", this "Savitri" is another example of his bad selection of stories.
The film starts off well. How heroine gets infatuated with weddings as she is born in pelli mandapam is established nicely. The trouble begins there after, when she hikes a train to go to Shirdi. From then till the interval, the drama runs on this train journey to Shirdi with silly jokes, logic-less scenes, many fights. One and half hour goes with this drama. Big bore is this sequences.
The episode of Posani Krishna Murali as Lord Krishna is completely nonsense and it doesn't make any sense.
After the interval, the drama shifts to heroine's village near Vishakapatnam. Although the scenes between heroine's father (played by Murali) and hero are quite interesting, even then the story doesn't move swiftly.
A flash back story about Ravi Babu is not convincing and this drama doesn't add much to the main plot.
The episode of Nara Rohith entering into Nanditha's house in the midnight, the following comedy is also quite boring as it is stretched beyond a point.
Apart from some sequences before the climax, even the second half doesn't interest much.
Director Pavan Sadineni who has made a contemporary love story with "Prema Ishq Kadhal" has narrated this story in beaten to death way. His clichéd story and old-style presentation both have failed him.
All in all, 'Savitri' fails to impress in any way.
Bottom-line: Routine Drama
Sexy heroines picking horror dramas
Horror thrillers are the need of the hour in Tollywood. Every week, you see at least one film in this genre hit the screens. Mostly, it is low budget films who attempt this genre more often.
But off late, things have changed drastically as star heroines have chosen this genre and are set to enthral everyone. Some hardcore commercial heroines like Trisha, Tamannah and Regina will be seen in horror dramas for their upcoming films.
Trisha will be seen as Nayaki where as Tamannah and Regina will be seen in two different untitled horror thrillers which are currently on floors. These actresses feel that there is a huge scope for them to perform in these flicks and can reinvent themselves big time.
With the changing times and new stories being applauded, looks like star heroines have made the right move to cash in on this trend.

Kajal to Charm with unique roles
Kajal, one of the leading actresses down south, has two of the biggest films of her career releasing within a span of one month. While her next film Sardaar Gabbar Singh is slated for its release on April 8, the high budget family entertainer Brahmotsavam will hit the screens in May.
Incidentally, Kajal will be seen in two totally contrasting roles in both these films. While she plays a graceful princess in Sardaar, Kajal will turn trendy and chic for Brahmotsavam, in which she is playing an NRI girl from Australia.
No doubt that Kajal’s fans will have a treat watching her in two varied roles this summer.
