A birthday cake which the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray cut in Mumbai on the occasion of his birthday yesterday has kick-started a huge political storm between the party and the Hyderabad-based Muslim political outfit AIMIM's supporters.
However, the birthday cake was nothing ordinary as it featured the image of AIMIM's chief leader Asaduddin Owaisi on it and Owaisi's staunch political opponent Raj Thackeray cutting it made things worse for the supporters of both the leaders.
AIMIM's MLA Waris Pathan demanded severe action against Raj Thackeray and his supporters. According to the media reports, a large group of MNS supporters brought a cake with Asaduddin Owaisi's image on it to Raj Thackeray's Krishna Kunj residence in Dadar.
The MNS chief obliged his supporters' request to cut it and distributed the cake to them, saying that he will cut anyone who talk against Maharashtra into pieces just like the birthday cake.
Political circles are drawing parallels with this incident to Raj Thackeray's challenge to Owaisi - "Come to Maharashtra, I will put a knife to your throat" after Owaisi said that he won't chant 'Bharat Mata ki Jai', even if a knife is put to his throat.

Rating: 3/5

Music: Manisharma
Cinematography: PG Vinda
Story: David Nadhan
Producer: Sivalenka Krishna Prasad
Screenplay, Dialogues & Direction: Indraganti Mohana Krishna
8-Years-Ago, Indraganti Mohana Krishna launched Nani as Hero with 'Ashta Chemma'. The duo waited for the good script to team up again and finally zeroed in on 'Gentleman' after considering various subjects. Has the judgement of Nani & Indraganti proved to be right or gone wrong? Let's have a look…
Synopsis:
Catherine (Niveda Thomas) & Aishwarya (Surabhi) meet during an air travel and share their love stories with each other to avoid boredom. While Catherine speaks about her boyfriend Gautham, Aishwarya informs that Jai is her Fiance. When Jai comes to the airport to receive Aishwarya, Catherine gets shocked as he looks similar to Gautam. Soon, Catherine reaches Gautam's House and gets the shock of her life that her Boyfriend is no more alive. Few developments prompt Catherine to reach the conclusion that Jai has killed Gautham. Were Jai & Gautham two different people? Who killed Gautham? Why would Catherine suspect Jai? Watch this Thriller to know chase the mystery..!
Performances:
Nani delivers yet another impactful performance. He is brilliant in the emotional sequence with Heroine in the pre-climax block. There were several scenes in the movie which shows how good actor he is. Kudos to the Natural Star for attempting such unique subjects!
Niveda Thomas has left a mark of her own in 'Gentleman'. Especially, Her acting in the scene where she comes to know that her lover is no more is quite impressive.
Surabhi does a decent job. Srinivas Avasarala is superb. Vennela Kishore tickles the funny bone. Rest of the actors were adequate.
Pros:
Nani
Screenplay
Background Score
Cons:
Slow Pace
Technicalities:
Critics who have written off Manisharma got a fitting reply with 'Gentleman'. Background Score stood as a major highlight. Be it during the Title Cards, Romantic & Emotional Sequences, Manisharma has given a marvelous output. Even the Songs composed by him were good enough. PG Vinda's Camera Work is top notch. He created the mood required for a thriller flick to perfection. Production Values were too good. Indraganti showed his mark, both as a writer and director. In fact, He has outdone his fast films with 'Gentleman' by exploring a new angle. His command on the script and the way he blended comedy-thrills should be applauded. The one-liners penned by him hit the right chord with the Audience.
Analysis:
Mainstream Heroes/Directors of TFI usually don't prefer Thriller genre much and even the success rate for them is poor. Fortunately, A sensible filmmaker & a talented hero joined hands for a thriller now. 'Gentleman' is certainly going to remain as one of the well written & best executed thriller films in Tollywood.
Makers begun the guessing game with the First Look Poster itself by captioning it 'Hero or Villain?'. Even during the course of the movie, Audience remain in a state of confusion and continue to guess with the clues given at regular intervals. Though he made a Thriller for the first time, Indranganti incorporated the sensible humour for which he is known for perfectly.
'Gentleman' can't be compared to anyone of Indraganti's previous films. Even for Nani, Its a completely different attempt. Inspite of the fact that its a thriller flick, Screenplay is so pleasant yet retained the flavor of the genre. Love Stories of Two Heroines was shown in the First Half of the movie. An outstanding Interval Bang increases expectations on the Second Half. From here, Audience get into the Thriller mood and Indraganti maintained the suspense till the end.
On the flip side, Slow Paced Love Tracks and Deviation to Comedy in the Second Half could be a worry. Even though the final twist revealed by the Hero is thrilling, Including a special element here could have made it a perfect ending. Overall, The range of 'Gentleman' depends on how Masses embrace it.
Bottom Line: A Well-Executed Thriller!

Everybody is aware how megastar Chiranjeevi and former union minister Dasari Narayana Rao do not see eye to eye with each other and whenever there is an occasion, Dasari does not lose an opportunity to take pot shots at the mega family; and Chiranjeevi never forgets to give retorts to the former.
But now, both the Kapu leaders seem to have come to terms, thanks to the fast unto death launched by former minister Mudragada Padmanabham.
On Thursday, Chiranjeevi, along with Dasari and another former union minister M M Pallam Raju called on the fasting leader and expressed solidarity with him.
Later, they spoke in one voice stating that any humiliation to Mudragada amounted to humiliated to the entire community including themselves (Chiranjeevi and Dasari).
They warned of serious consequences if the government did not implement the promises made to Kapus in the election manifesto of the TDP.
The ministers were speaking in a different tone while the Collector and the DIG were trying to resolve the issue, they alleged.

After the success of her Hindi hit film Baby, Taapsee moved to Mumbai and decided to do mostly Hindi films. Even though she got some offers in hand none of them worked for her in Hindi.
The same seems to be continuing as her much awaited Hindi private song video released two days back has failed to generate any buzz. Sung by Shaan this video failed to register whatsoever. Now the question here is that why is Taapsee behind all these tiny roles when she was getting some very good offers here in the south.
Except for a few none of the south heroines managed to make a successful career in Hindi and looks like same is the case for Taapsee as well. Except for being seen in some awards in the south she is no where to bee seen in Telugu.
Let's hope that this failure of hers will teach her a much required lesson and bring her back to where suits the best.

Earlier she was dragged into controversy for her comments on Prabhas and Venkatesh. Speaking about the same, popular cinematographer Chota K Naidu reveals how he got a negative opinion on Nitya first and what really happened.
An associate director met Chota K Naidu to narrate story of Okka Ammayi Tappa and suggested not to look for Nitya in this movie naming her arrogance, smoking and boozing as reasons.

Hyderabad: Hyderabad achieved IT exports of Rs 75,070 crore in 2015-16, a growth of 13.26 per cent over the previous year, the Telangana government announced on Wednesday.
IT Minister K. Tarakarama Rao told reporters that Hyderabad's growth in IT and IT Enabled Services (ITES) exports was higher than the national average of 12.3 per cent.
The city also created nearly 35,611 new jobs in the sector during the year, taking the total workforce to 407,385.
"Our pro-business policy, high quality infrastructure, cost-effectiveness, cosmopolitanism, presence of institutions like TASK and T-Hub along with an overall pro-active approach has made the state among the top IT destinations in the country," he said releasing the annual report of the state IT, Electronics and Communications Department.
The growth in IT/ITES exports during 2014-15 was 15.7 percent with the minister noting the sector's growth came down across the globe. "We are still above the national average and on course to double the exports to Rs.1.20 lakh crore and jobs to one million in three years," he said.
KTR, as the minister is popularly known, said since the formation of Telangana state in 2014, the IT exports have grown significantly.
"This will happen sooner than later," he said when asked about the time-frame to achieve the goal of making Hyderabad the number one IT destination in the country.
To another query, he said Hyderabad was not competing with Bengaluru. "We are not competing with Bengaluru, we are competing with the world," he said while pointing out that tech giant Apple looked at 26 cities across the world before choosing Hyderabad to set up its development centre.
The minister said Hyderabad is home to four out of world's five most valued tech companies. Three of them - Apple, Google and Amazon - took the decision during last one year.
Salesforce, Uber, DBS, Security and Flydubai are the other major companies which have decided to set up or expand operations in Hyderabad. He claimed that many other global and national companies were planning significant expansion.
KTR said the state was also focusing on electronics manufacturing. Handset manufacturers Micromax and Celkon have already set up their facilities and commenced operations in Hyderabad while Datawind is expected to set up its plant soon.
He said Celkon, Carbon and Lava have also decided to set up their research and development centres in Hyderabad
The state, which has signed MoUs with electronic manufacturers' associations of Shenzhen (China) and Taiwan, expects to attract more investment.
The minister announced that three IT parks in public private partnership mode will be launched in Hyderabad this year to meet the growing needs of the sector. He said six locations outside the existing clusters in Kondapur and Gachibowli, were identified.
Referring to T-Hub, the largest technology incubator opened here last year, he said foundation stone for the second phase of the facility with an expenditure outlay of Rs 175 crore will be laid in two to three months.
The minister, who visited United States this month, announced that an outpost of T-Hub will be opened soon in Silicon Valley to enable startups at T-Hubs get international exposure.
About 200 startups are currently incubating at T-Hub and they are getting technological mentorship and access to venture funds. Microsoft, Google, HP, Cisco, Yes Bank, IBM and AAmazon have entered into partnership with T Hub.
The minister said a hardware incubator T-Works would also be launched. A prototyping lab will use the innovations coming out of T-Hub.
It is highly unpredictable in filmdom about controversies and not many really know before hand about the damage they will do the film and vice versa.

As her debut movie "Oka Manasu" is releasing on June 24, Niharika Konidela is using all options to promote her film and reach out to the audience.
Although the film stars Naga Shourya, the young hero is not seen anywhere in the promotions. Grapevine is that he is facing some ego issues as Niharika is getting more media attention.
Despite Naga Shourya not actively promoting, Niharika is not leaving any stone unturned as per as publicity as concerned.
She wants her first movie be a big hit and she has also met all the mega fans and interacted with them. She is trying to follow what Bollywood actresses do for their movie promotions.
Now she is doing TV interviews, participating in programs for entertainment channels. Since she is quite popular anchor, the TV channels are showing more interest in doing shows with her.
“Oka Manasu” is directed by Rama Raju who directed Sri Divya starer “Mallela Teeramlo Sirimalle Puvvu”. Madhura Sridhar has produced the film. The movie’s music composed by Sunil Kashyap has won the praise from music lovers.
Remember Karishma Kotak? She made debut in Tollywood with Megastar Chiranjeevi's Shankardada Zindabad.
Although SDZ didn’t live up to the expectations, the movie remained special one for mega fans as it was the last film where Chiranjeevi played the lead role before he took up politics.
Karishma Kotak was seen as a traditional woman in SDZ and sadly couldn’t make use of the mega debut for many reasons.
Of late Karishma is doing her best to get noticed as a sex bomb by doing spicy photo shoots. This picture is from her latest photo shoot done for FHM India.
We could hardly recognize Karishma in this hot avatar. Hope she gets a chance to sizzle on silver screen to showcase her hotter side.
Samantha exposed a lot recently. Her exposing of naval part in the Pelli Choopulu sequence in director Trivikram’s "A Aa" received mixed reactions, while the youth and mass audiences liked it, the family audiences and class people felt that she went too far.
Before “A Aa”, she di not do heavy exposing. Although she wore mini skirt and did some skin show in films like “Atharinitiki Daaredi”, she largely stuck to the image of girl-next-door. Her naval exposing in “A Aa” was okay to the requirement of the scene but Naga Chaitanya fans are reportedly hurt deeply.
Akkineni fans say when she is planning to get married to their hero Naga Chaitanya, why should she do such overexposing? This is typical fans’ reaction.
Grapevine has it that she would not resort to such heavy exposing scenes after the release of “Janatha Garage”. In NTR’s “Janatha Garage” too, she wore some hot dresses in songs.
Since both Naga Chaitanya and Samantha are keen to get married early next year, Samantha is advised by her friends that she should slow down on glamour show.
Mumbai: Actress Taapsee Pannu says that her 'break' in the Hindi film industry was not intentional and starting with the single "Tum Ho Toh Lagta Hai", she'll be seen in back-to-back projects getting her "scared" of being overexposed.
Taapsee's last film was "Baby" opposite Akshay Kumar, which had released in January last year. It is after more than a year that Taapsee is seen on the screen for Hindi audiences as she features in the single "Tum Ho Toh Lagta Hai", sung by Shaan and composed by Amaal Malik. She is cast opposite Saqib Saleem in the video.
At the launch of the song, Taapsee was asked about her 'break' in the industry. She said, "I was doing films that you'll see in the festive season. It has just begun; this (single) is just the trailer for me for this year. There's going to be 'Pink', there is 'Tadka' and there are a couple of projects coming up.
I have been shooting non-stop, it's just that the shooting has been a bit delayed. You will see me, just that there shouldn't be an overdose, that's what I am really scared of."
While Taapsee will share screen space opposite Amitabh Bachchan in Shoojit Sircar's production "Pink", in "Tadka" she will act opposite Nana Patekar, Shriya Saran and Ali Fazal among others.
Though Taapsee was not seen in Hindi films post-"Baby", she was seen in films down south such as "Kanchana 2" and "Vai Raja Vai".
Senior Congress leader and filmmaker Dasari Narayana Rao spewed fire on his arch rival and AP CM Nara Chandrababu Naidu over the Kapu reservation issue and Babu government's treatment to the protesting Kapu patriarch Mudragada Padmanabham.
"We lost Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga then, we can't afford to lose Mudragada now and that's why have gathered today to show our unity and save our chief crusader," said Dasari. "Babu's intolerance towards a particular community and its chief leader is utterly unjustified. The Kapu reservation is a social issue, but Babu is portraying it as an anti-social problem," fumed Dasari.
Venting out his ire further, Dasari said that security personnel are not allowing Mudragada to speak to anyone and that mobile jammers were installed at Rajamundry hospital where Mudragada is fasting under police custody. "Are we Andhra or Pakistan?," lamented Dasari.
The senior leader further said that Babu is curtailing freedom of speech by blocking a particular media channel which was covering Babu government's atrocities and injustice against the Kapu agitation and its leaders and that they have several ways to counter Babu's strategies. -
