Salman Khan makes it clear Sex & Horror are something he can't deal with as an actor. 'I would not be part of any Horror films as they scare me. Even I don't prefer films having Sex,' he shares.
The 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' Star clarified Yash Raj Films has approached him for 'Dhoom 4' till date. He jokingly says, 'I would neither run away or get killed like others'.
Sallu Bhai even revealed he isn't going to be part of 'No Entry' sequel. The project was supposed to be produced by Boney Kapoor and directed by Anees Bajmee. May be, Salman isn't in a mood to take up project with slapstick comedy after doing films with a message to society.
The next release of Salman Khan would be 'Sultan' arriving on Eid this year. Anushka Sharma has been paired opposite him for the first time ever.

Now, Jakkanna is trying to generate hype for his cousin SS Kanchi's directorial movie Show Time. 'Creating an intrigue with the first look itself is so important. Especially for small films. #SHOWTIME does that,' posted Rajamouli on his Twitter page. Rajamouli also attended the film's teaser launch along with K Raghavendra Rao, Sumanth, MM Keeravani etc.
In fact, the first look poster and the teaser are intriguing as said by Rajamouli. The teaser starts with a Hollywood film being screened in a theater and the camera swings to audience perspective. Each person in the theater is busy with their respective works- one is seen eating; one is sleeping, one is enjoying food and other is appeared romancing with his girlfriend.

Movie Review: Meeku Meere Maaku Meme
Rating: 2.25/5
Cast: Tarun Shetty, Avantika, Kireeti, Jenny, Bharath & Others.
Music: Sravan
Cinematography: Surya Vinay
Production: Nakama Planet Green Studios
Story, Screenplay & Direction: Hussain Sha Kiran
Release Date: 18th June 2016
Hussain Sha Kiran shot to fame with 'Nannaku Prematho' as he was the one who penned this intelligent yet heart-warming story. At the audio launch event, Sukumar called him up on the stage and heaped praises. Even before the release of 'Nannaku Prematho', Hussai Sha Kiran began working on his directorial debut 'Meeku Meere Maaku Meme' taking the support of Allu Aravind & some of his friends. The promos generated good buzz and the film is aimed at winning the hearts of Youth. Let's see what this youthful subject is all about…
Synopsis:
Aadi (Tarun Shetty), a happy-go-lucky guy, is poor in studies and spends most of his time hanging out with close buddies. One fine day, Aadi meets his Junior Priya (Avantika). Falling for the tricks played by Aadi, Priya accepts his love proposal. That's when Aadi reveals all of his tricks to her, still Priya continues to love him. However, Differences crop up between the Love Birds after some time as Priya can't handle Aadi's irresponsible behaviour anymore. They decide to maintain a gap between them for six months. What happened in those 6 months? Is there any change in Aadi during this period?
Performance:
Almost all the actors in 'Meeku Meere Maaku Meme' were debutantes. Most importantly, All of them behave like real-life characters. Tarun Shetty looks handsome and impresses with his acting prowess. He, however, ruins the impact by being very casual in few pivotal scenes. Avantika of 'Maya' fame has changed a lot for her second film. She attained slim figure and scores brownie points with her performance.
Out of all, Its Kireeti (played Bridegroom in Uyyala Jampala) who steals the show with his comic timing. He stood as a major asset to the movie. Jenny is alright. The Actor who played Heroine's Father did a fine job. Rest of the cast did justice to their roles.
Plus Points:
Comedy
Cinematography
Minus Points:
Narration
Second Half
Technicalities:
All the Technicians have extended good co-operation to the Director. Songs composed by Sravan have been soothing to the ears. Even the Background Score isn't bad. Cinematographer Surya Vinay did a marvelous job. The visuals have been so nice inspite of the budget constraint. Dialogues were okay. Hussain Sha Kiran showed his calibre as a writer and director in few sequences but failed to leave a strong impression. He, however, made a honest attempt to hit the right chord with the audience.
Analysis:
In one particular scene of 'Meeku Meere Maaku Meme', Heroine tells her Father about the guy she is madly in love with and conveys she can't imagine her life without him even though he is weak in academics, smokes cigar & drinks alcohol. The elderly gentleman then asks her to invite Hero for a meeting with him. Before Heroine could leave the place, The Father claims he is well aware of why she disclosed all the negative aspects of her Boyfriend. 'As you have pointed out all the negative traits already, There is no room for complaint from my side and I will get impressed if I notice a single positive aspect in him. Is this what you feel?,' he asks. This one sequence is a reflection of the spark in Director Hussain Sha Kiran.
'Meeku Meere Maaku Meme' entertains in bits & parts but fails to leave a strong impression. Few good scenes can't make a film success and overall packaging is the key. Hussain Sha Kiran tried to present a new age love story with characters close to the reality. Comedy Scenes between Hero & his Friend Kireeti of 'Uyyala Jampala' fame worked big time. All the roles & concept were contemporary to help present day Youth connect well easily.
Although the concept chosen is impressive, Narration has been a let down & better screenplay could have certainly made 'MMMM' a winner at Box Office. The way Director handled the Love Story and Break-Up looks silly. Even the strong emotion that's a must has been missing in the sequence which establish separation of lovers.
Director focussed mainly on humor in the First Half and comes out with flying colors. In the crucial Second Half where he has to deal with the story, Hussain Sha Kiran fails to bring an emotional connect and the impression that he built with First Half gets ruined with senseless scenes. Overall, 'MMMM' is a youthful entertainer with some flaws.
Bottom Line: Comedy Works - Emotion Fails!

Director: Abhishek Chaubey

Designed as a crime thriller and symbolically titled “Udta Punjab”, the film delves into the growing drug menace in the state of Punjab.
The narrative intertwines the lives of a popular youth icon, rock-star-cum-rap-singer Tommy Singh, migrant labourer Kumari Pinky, awho unwittingly gets caught in the clutches of the drug mafia, doctor-cum-activist Preet Sahni, Inspector Sartaj Singh and his younger brother Bali.
The plot is pretentious, dramatised and far-fetched. The narration begins with drugs being flung across the border, in the dark of the night, into a field in Punjab. The packet accidentally lands in Kumari Pinky’s hand, who tries to palm off the consignment to Bali’s contact.
Though ill-equipped with the ways of drug dealing, she negotiates in the hope of making a quick buck.
Inexplicably, realisation dawns on Pinky, when she is en route to meet the drug dealer. She destroys the consignment before getting caught by the mafia and has to face the brunt of its wrath for her deed.
Meanwhile, the police in their zest to show 'cop power' arrest Tommy Singh for using drugs and corrupting the youth with his drug-infused rap music.
Also, Sartaj Singh realises that his brother has become an addict, when he lands at Preet Sahni’s clinic after getting over-dosed. The doctor motivates Sartaj to fight the drug menace, “system mein rehekar".
The characters are well-defined, but their graphs are poorly etched, especially Tommy Singh. His journey though exposed realistically, is unconvincing.
The drama that keeps you hooked only highlights the premise of the story. It sends out a strong message that every individual needs to fight the corrupt system at their individual level. But the dramatic moment hits the peak when Tommy, while explaining to Pinky, screeches, “Maal khatam, party over, go home.” What follows is an equally impressive reply from Pinky.
The dialogues, replete with cuss words, are as vibrant as the performances.
Shahid Kapoor, with his tattooed physique and funky hair style, portrays Tommy Singh to the T. He lives the character of an artiste constantly under the influence of drugs and he demonstrates it with his meteoric moods, which he displays with alarming, bone-chilling precision.
Similarly, with a deglamourised and feral look, Alia Bhatt captures your heart as Pinky. She is consistent and brilliant in her performance.
With a restrained performance, Punjabi cinema’s heartthrob Diljit Dosanjh is impressive and makes an impact. He is intense as a concerned brother and charming as Preet’s love interest.
Prabhjyot Singh essays the role of Bali, a victim of circumstances to perfection. You inadvertently feel sorry for him, even when he turns into a criminal.
Kareena Kapoor Khan, as Preet is competent, but offers nothing exceptional. So is Satish Kaushik, who plays Taayaji, Tommy’s uncle and show promoter.
The songs are situational. They add flavour to the film, but do not propel the narrative.
Mounted with moderate production values, the film is deliberated as a neo-realistic film. Rajeev Ravi’s cinematography is remarkable with realistic frames. The sound, designed by Kunal Sharma, effectively layered by editor Meghna Sen, enhances the viewing experience.
Overall, "Udta Punjab", with all the hype it created in the media for its “expression of creative freedom” is worth a watch, only for the performances and social message.
Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Diljit Dosanjh and Satish Kaushik
Designed as a crime thriller and symbolically titled “Udta Punjab”, the film delves into the growing drug menace in the state of Punjab.
The narrative intertwines the lives of a popular youth icon, rock-star-cum-rap-singer Tommy Singh, migrant labourer Kumari Pinky, awho unwittingly gets caught in the clutches of the drug mafia, doctor-cum-activist Preet Sahni, Inspector Sartaj Singh and his younger brother Bali.
The plot is pretentious, dramatised and far-fetched. The narration begins with drugs being flung across the border, in the dark of the night, into a field in Punjab. The packet accidentally lands in Kumari Pinky’s hand, who tries to palm off the consignment to Bali’s contact.
Though ill-equipped with the ways of drug dealing, she negotiates in the hope of making a quick buck.
Inexplicably, realisation dawns on Pinky, when she is en route to meet the drug dealer. She destroys the consignment before getting caught by the mafia and has to face the brunt of its wrath for her deed.
Meanwhile, the police in their zest to show 'cop power' arrest Tommy Singh for using drugs and corrupting the youth with his drug-infused rap music.
Also, Sartaj Singh realises that his brother has become an addict, when he lands at Preet Sahni’s clinic after getting over-dosed. The doctor motivates Sartaj to fight the drug menace, “system mein rehekar".
The characters are well-defined, but their graphs are poorly etched, especially Tommy Singh. His journey though exposed realistically, is unconvincing.
The drama that keeps you hooked only highlights the premise of the story. It sends out a strong message that every individual needs to fight the corrupt system at their individual level. But the dramatic moment hits the peak when Tommy, while explaining to Pinky, screeches, “Maal khatam, party over, go home.” What follows is an equally impressive reply from Pinky.
The dialogues, replete with cuss words, are as vibrant as the performances.
Shahid Kapoor, with his tattooed physique and funky hair style, portrays Tommy Singh to the T. He lives the character of an artiste constantly under the influence of drugs and he demonstrates it with his meteoric moods, which he displays with alarming, bone-chilling precision.
Similarly, with a deglamourised and feral look, Alia Bhatt captures your heart as Pinky. She is consistent and brilliant in her performance.

Mega heroes have a bad tag of encouraging remakes at the cost of losing native Telugu talents. Chiranjeevi was so disappointed when none of our writers and directors impressed him with 150th film story. So, he deliberately agreed for ‘Kaththi’ remake.

You got it right. Niharika herself will be seen in Deepika Padukone character while some one among our veteran star heroes should reprise Amitabh Bachchan. This is in fact a tough call because none of our so called these veterans will accept to die in climax. If this rumor remains a rumor, its fine else ‘Piku’ remake cane be a worst ever blunder.
