Artists Performance
village lo vinyakudu Krishnudu who fitted in the role of Vinayakudu very well did a character that is just an extension. His innocent looks and slow dialogue delivery suited the role. He did well. But he should work more on his expressions in the close-up shots. Saranya Mohan is cute, but didn't suit the role well as there is no chemistry between them. Rao Ramesh is adequate though he looked little younger to play the role of heroine's father. He tried to act like Prakash Raj in few scenes. Popular novel writer Yandamuri Veerendranath did the role of heroine's father friend who is obsessed with puzzles. Dr. Bharat Reddy donned the role of a prospective groom and he is alright.
Technical departments
village lo vinyakuduStory: The story of the movie has slight inspiration from 'Meet The Parents'. Meet the parents is about a girl introducing her guy to her father who is a former CIA agent. The entire movie runs around father trying to prove that the guy is wrong and the guy outsmarting heroine's father. Hero being a male nurse is the conflict point between heroine's father and hero in the English movie. Guy being fat is the conflict point between hero and heroine's father in VLV. This story has potential in it if handled well though we had seen similar treated stories of hero staying in heroine's house and convincing him since DDLJ.
village lo vinyakuduScreenplay - directon: Direction by Sai Kiran Adivi is adequate in parts. Some of the comedy scenes are well written (Golimar episode, health check-up results, bongulo chicken etc). He handled some of the scenes in first half well, but didn't show the required finesse in the second half. Sai Kiran should have taken more care in screenplay department in the second half. The pace of the movie is slow and climax appear hurried. He couldn't bring out the romance between the lead pair and should be commended for coming out with a clean and healthy film without any vulgarity.
village lo vinyakuduOther departments: Music by Manikant Kadri is good. There are good melodies in the movie. Cinematography by Ramana Salva is neat and locations chosen are fresh. Some of the dialogues are funny. Editing should have been better. Producer Mahi has capitalized on the success of Vinayakudu by doing a sequel on a shoe-string budget and making it break-even before the release itself. However, he should have put more emphasis on quality of filmmaking and quality of post-production. The entire movie appears like its been shot in hurry with inadequate budget. And the post-production lacks the quality of multiplex films. The forced advertising of Reliance Mobile and Kalamandir mars the viewing pleasure (people spend money to watch movie, not to watch forced advertisements). It is a good effort by the first time producer in terms of marketing and business strategy. But he should remember that content is the king and these kind of marketing strategies will work wonders if the content is good.
village lo vinyakuduAnalysis: First half of the movie is adequate with nice humor. The movie runs out of steam in the second half. The plus points of the movie are Vinayakudu's image and good marketing strategies. The negative points are lack of holistic perspective in direction and slow-paced narration. One should appreciate the filmmakers for making a film that does have neither vulgarity nor violence. We have to wait and see how the family viewers of A centers receive this movie.

of Tolly 2 Holly's latest movie
Pravarakhyudu was launched at a function organized in Taj Banjara on the night of 8 November. Jagapati Babu and Priyamani play main leads in that movie that is being directed by Madan.

Rajamouli launched the audio CD
and gave the first unit to Dil Raju. Seenu Vytla launched the audiocassette and gave the first unit to Keeravani.
Keeravani said, "The real Pravarakhyudu of the movie is Madan. There is no failures for love stories. Movies based on love are ever-encouraged. Madan will give a new definition to love through this movie. The story will be liked by all."
Jagapati Babu said, "I am not of Pravarkhudu type in real life. I feel happy to work with Keeravani. I though that this movie might not work out with respect to business as the producers spent money that is beyond my market. But buyers are coming forward and encouraging the movie. Producers kept lot of confidence on the product. I hope that this movie will be a big hit."
Madan said, "We took only the characteristic of Pravarakhudu and applied it to the character of Jagapati Babu in this movie. One may call such a person with Pravarakhyudu characteristics as a gentleman. We are saying that each love stories is different from one another through this movie. This movie is about finding the pure love. Keeravani worked like a new music director for this movie."

Simha, a Boyapati Sreenu-directed film, is now in Hyderabad. Nandamuri Balakrishna's prestigious venture sees him pairing opposite buxom Namitha and 'Ullasanga Uthsahanga' girl Sneha Ullal.
Owing to the Star Night on November 7, the film's shooting has been cancelled and it will resume again after the event. Later, it will be canned in Visakhapatnam.
Namitha is acting opposite a big st
ar like Balakrishna after several years. Last time, she acted in Gemini with Victory Venkatesh. Shifting base to Tamil films, she bounced back again after her role in Billa. She has at last got a performance-oriented role in Simha.
Sneha Ullal, a relatively newcomer to Tollywood, was seen in 'Neenu Meeku Telusa', and it is the first time she is seen in a big star's film.

Navadeep said that he is doing a normal character (other than main lead) for the first time in his career.
Shraddha Das thanked the entire cast and crewmembers.
Sukumar is the Mr. Perfect - VV Vinayak
VV Vinayak said, "Sukumar is Mr. Perfect. All of us directors have the habit of compromising at certain points of filmmaking. But Sukumar is the only director I know who doesn't compromise at any cost. Bunny is going to rock in the movie."
Sukumar will take Telugu film industry to the next level - SS Rajamouli
SS Rajamouli said, "I got frightened when I watched Arya film. Sukumar is a top class director who can take the Telugu cinema to the next level. Devi Sri Prasad has the uncanny ability of coming up with energetic songs for each and every movie of his. His music gives instance kick at the first listening itself. I am sure that Ringa Ringa song will be the chartbuster for the entire next year."
Prahas said, "I like bunny a lot. I came to Arya function and predicted that it would become a blockbuster. I am sure that Arya 2 will become bigger hit than Arya. Devi Sri Prasad has given the best songs of my career and I am happy that he gave better music for Arya."
Anna Maata - Kajal Agarwal
Kajal Agarwal said, "Arya 2 is close to my heart and had a great time shooting for this movie. Sukumar has the strange habit of adding anna maata to every sentence he speaks and we tease him on that."
Arya 2 story is different from Arya - Aditya
Producer Aditya Babu said, "There is a misconception that Arya 2 is a sequel to Arya film. But it is not a sequel. The story is different. However, the characterizations are the same. I would like to thank each and every person who worked for this project."
Thanks to Rajamouli for his words - Sukumar
Director Sukumar said, "I was disappointed after Jagadam's flop. That is when Rajamouli came to me and told me not to get disappointed by the result. He asked me to stick to my conviction and moviemaking style. His advice gave me lot of confidence. It was Bhogavally Prasad who fed me for an year after the flop of Jagadam. Bunny okayed the project without knowing about the story. Allu Arjun supported me a lot before starting the project though he troubled me after the start of shoot. I would like to thank the producers Aditya Babu and Bhogvally Prasad."
The hot and raunchy sex siren Shraddha Das showcased her hidden talent during an interview that she gave sometime back. She sang two lines from a song from one of her flicks "Adhineta" which bombed at the box office. However, many were impressed by her singing abilities.
She was said to have a good voice and talent for singing. Many well wishers feel that she should get an opportunity to render her voice for some songs. Let us wait and see if she does get an opportunity to prove her other talent as well.
Her acting career is just about stabilizing at this moment as she will soon be seen in the new movie 'Arya 2' alongside the talented Navadeep.

 Producer Aditya Ram is serious about curbing piracy. Especially because his costly movie Ek Niranjan, released on a big scale on the 29th of this month, is currently showing in Andhra Pradesh. Reportedly, he is planning to use technology to nab piracy thugs with the help of a secret code. So beware! Meanwhile, the film's 350 prints are raking in good collections over the weekend. |

Gautham Menon's next with Nag Chaitanya has shifted its base to USA now. A schedule here in Hyderabad saw picturisatio of some scenes involving the heor with his friends, including Vinayakudu-star Krishnudu, who is playing a wonderful friend's role in the untitled film.

Dil Raju's film with NTR Junior is finally beginning sometime in the second half of November. The film is directed by Vamsi Paidipalli (Munna was his debut film, which bombed at the BO). Rumouredly Trisha is the female lead.Dil Raju's film with NTR Junior is finally beginning sometime in the second half of November. The film is directed by Vamsi Paidipalli (Munna was his debut film, which bombed at the BO). Rumouredly Trisha is the female lead.
It may be recalled that Trisha was to star opposite the young star in a couple of films earlier, but things did not materialise. However this time things seem to be in place for her to be cast opposite a star actor like NTR.
Though there has been no formal confirmation from Dil Raju, gossip circles are saying that she is the final choice. As the film goes on floors in less than 20 days, there are unlikely to be last minute changes.
'Koffi Bar' is the film being made by popular filmmaker Geetha Krishna. He had been away for the movie industry for some time and he is making a comeback with this flick. According to sources, this flick is a trilingual and is being made in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.
Speaking about the movie, the director said that the movie is 50% complete. The canning seems to be going on at Hyderabad at the moment. The movie stars the talented hero Shashank and a pretty girl Biyanka Desai in the lead.
It is expected to be a youthful entertainer and at the same time, there is a strong message to the audience in it.
Geetha Krishna who has made films like Kokila, Keechurallu and Sankeerthana has now embarked upon a new film. The film titled Koffi Bar has so far completed 40 per cent of the shooting. Geetha Krishna is also the producer and is also scoring the music for the film. The film will be distributed in the US by Adlabs.
The film is a good entertainer and will look at the present day situation and will also touch upon terrorism. The film stars many newcomers. Girish Karnad and Om Puri will be among the lead star cast.

Story
Chotu (Prabhas) is born to poor parents. A beggars mafia guy steals Chotu to make him a beggar. Chotu grows up as an informer to the cops. And he calls himself as 'bounty hunter'. His duty is to catch the criminals on behalf of police and earn some money from the cops for doing their duty. He falls in love with a guitar music teacher Sameera (Kangana Raunat) and her brother happens to be a mafia guy whom Chotu is entrusted to nab. Johnny (Sonu Sood) is a mafia kingpin in the city. The rest of the story is all about what happens when Johnny encounters Chotu and when Chotu has multiple responsibility of apprehending and saving the same guy.
Artists Performance
Prabhas's characterization in this movie is an extention of his character in Puri Jagan's Bujjigadu - made in Chennai. Prabhas is adorable with his mass language with godavari dialect. He is charming with his carefree demeanor. Kangana Raunat who looked fabulous in Hindi flicks like Gangster and Fashion seemed out of place in this Telugu film. She is just average. Sonu Sood walks away with honors, thanks to terrific characterization by Puri Jagan. He played the role of a sadistic villain and entertains us with funny dialogues. Brahmaji did another terrific character in this movie after his cameo in Athadu film. The pair of Sonu Sood and Brahmaji is hilarious. Brahmanandam's comedy in not upto the mark. Ali is wasted as a magician in 'Jack Sparrow' get-up. Venu Madhav and Sunil characters are partly entertaining. Posani Krishna Murali provides humor as a cunning politician. Mukul Dev and Tanikella Bharani are adequate. The kid who did the mimicry is good. Makrand Deshpande suited the role well and he adds value to the movie. Half of his dialogues are in written in Hindi for his convenience.
Technical departments
Story - screenplay - directon: Story of the movie is about a son in search of his parents. The characterization of Prabhas is extended from their last movie Bujjigadu and you can see some shades of Pokiri in this movie too. Direction by Puri Jagan is good. But the screenplay should have been better in the second half. The characterizations of villain and hero are good. And there is nice confrontation scenes between them. Puri Jagan who has shown promise in the first half of the movie couldn't carry the same element of interest in the second half. The last twenty minutes of the movie is a downer. I liked the point at which he closed the movie instead of showing some routine and dramatic reunion in the end.
Other departments: Music by Mani Sharma is very good. All songs are canned well on the screen. The title song Ek Niranjan is excellent. Evaru Lerani song is very good. There is a tribute to Michael Jackson in the last song of the movie. This song is nicely edited with some rare footage of MJ. Dialogues by Puri Jagan deserves a special appreciation. The dialogues penned for Prabhas and Sonu Sood are excellent. The dialogues before 'evaru lerani' song (heroine proposal scene) are really good. Puri Jagan has made it a habit to make heroine call hero 'naa kodaka' in his recent movies. Cinematography by Shyam K Naidu is nice. Editing by Varma is adequate. Fights are good. The climax fight should have been impact-making.
Analysis: First half of the movie is entertaining. Second half is also adequate but for the last twenty minutes. The graph of the movie goes down from the time the story shifts to Bangkok. The plus points are Prabhas, dialogues and music. On the flip side the second half should have been better and the violence should have been toned down. On a whole, Ek Niranjan is a not a bad film. We have to wait and see how the masses receive it.
iEncyclopedia rated ek niranjan telugu movie with 3 stars (good)
Movie Review
'Kangana' plays the role of a music teacher, gosspimongers say that she has been given a very high remuneration for the skin show. You can watch sizzling Bollywood babe 'Kangana Ranaut' in nude scenes. Ek Niranjan is expected to be a very high budget movie and it is believed that 'Puri jagannath' has poured 3 crores for a single set in the movie. That`s a quite high budget movie isn`t it?
Sexy, seductive & Petite Lady 'Kangana'as a music teacher performance gives a fresh look to the movie.
Sonu Sood who played the role of 'Aghora' in 'Arundati' is apperaing in a negative role again in 'Ek Niranjan'. Other star cast includes Mukul Dev, Tanikella Bharani, Brahmanandam, Ali, Sunil and others. Ek Niranjan would be a visual treat for the audience.
Enough is enough, Puri Jaganath could stop directing films and spoiling the careers of heroes. His latest offering Ek Niranjan is proof enough to say that a director's creativity is limited, and he needs to stop somewhere.
Puri is living in the past, even in Ek Niranjan he has a huge Pokiri hangover and the sequence of events and some of the scenes just look like they have been picked up from Pokiri. The story is weak and predictable.
Despite best efforts from Prabhas and the rest of the cast, Ek Niranjan does not live up to the high expectations of the audiences. It would best if Puri reexamines his craft and does not kill the audience to boredom
Genelia is the next from the tinsel town to step into the television industry. The actress will be soon seen hosting a reality show a popular channel, however in Hindi.
“Yes, I am getting ready for the game. TV is totally new to me. The theme is so interesting. Hence I accepted the offer,” says the actress, who is successful in four languages- Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi.
Revealing her fitness secret, Genelia says, “I am basically an athlete. I was a State level runner and I played for National football team. Hence, I am fit. I don’t stay away from any kind of food. If I like something, I binge onto it. I love biriyani, even if it’s oily,” she says.”
As an actress with experience in four languages, which one do you prefer to act? To this question, the bubbly actress’s answer is: “I enjoy doing films in all languages. Script is the first factor I look into. I don’t mind doing a five-minute role if it’s worth it. Secondly I should have comfort level with director/producer I work with. Language is never the criterion for me.”
Telugu Movie Mahatma is released on 9th oct 2009
The film is 100th film of actor Srikanth which is based on the present day social and political scenario.
Srikanth plays a charectar of a rowdy called Das who gets attracted to the film industry. And then he gets influenced by the ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi.
The film revolves around Das character. Charmi’s skimpy item song is the highlight of the movie.
Actor Srikanth enthusiastic performance along with interesting movements in the movie is an asset of the film.
‘Mahatma’ songs would defintely be a virtual treat to the audience.
‘Mahatma’ movie music
is scored by ‘Srikanth Deva’
