Why Anasuya is Jealous?

This year it looks like it is the time for TV anchors(actresses) to make their debut on silver screens as heroines. Senior Television actress Anasuya has made her splash debut on silver screen and made her success mark.
Now, sizzling beauty Rashmi has also made her debut in seductive thriller Guntur Talkies film. From the recent reports we heard that, Konidela Niharika and Gemini TV anchor Jayathi are all set to appear as heroines in forthcoming days.
As soon as their debut news came out, sources who are close to Anasuya says that, she is feeling unease as she has to face a huge competition with them. Being a senior Television actress, she has been feeling jealous with these small actresses about their debut.
Even though, Anu made her entry with two films, Soggade Chinni Nayana and Kshanam, she did not became a glamour icon but, Rashmi who made her debut with Guntur Talkies, has already taken away the seductive star name. Hence, senior TV actress Anasuya is feeling unease with the entry of other actresses.

On Sunday night, Katrina went on a house-hunting spree in Bandra. She is looking to move out of her current home in Silver Sands that she shared with her ex-beau.
An eyewitness tells us that Kat was hardly in a mood to get clicked and lost her cool on the paparazzi when they were chasing her around.

Woah! Give her some space, guys

The sexist and lewd comments made about heroines by Nandamuri Balakrishna at the audio launch of 'Savitri', has become a national issue. Though he made those comments four days back, local Telugu media didn't highlight it much.
Some people on social media started lambasting Balayya, politicians like Roja and some lawyers reacted strongly. This has now come to the notice of national media.
On Monday night, all leading national news channels like Times Now, CNN-IBN had ran stories against Nandamuri Balakrishna and denounced his sexist remarks. A news channel event termed Balakrishna as a ‘vulgar star’.
In his movies, Balakrishna plays the roles that act ‘strongly’ with his heroines. He was referring that his fans would want him to see in such roles but the message was not conveyed properly in his speech.
So, he ended up saying that “fans wants him to kiss his co-stars and impregnate them.”
As the national and regional media have started negative stories on his regressive comments, Nandamuri Balakrishna released a press note saying it was fun remark. He also apologized if anyone’s hurt by his comments. 
Everyone knows in the industry that Balakrishna doesn’t know what to talk and what not to in public. Known for his uncontrolled tongue, he recently also made strong comments against Chiranjeevi for no apparent reason.

Recently, she starred in a heroine-oriented horror movie that was a super hit. Nayan increased her remuneration after this hit and is now believed to be charging around Rs 4 crore per film.
This is what she will be getting for Chiru’s 150th film too and is now earning more than most heroines down South.
In one of her forthcoming films Nayanthara will be donning a bikini. Apparently, the makers decided to shell out a fortune to convince her to appear in a bikini i.e. she will be paid over and above her remuneration for wearing the bikini.
The last time she wore a bikini was for the movie ‘Billa’ and she gave many young men sleepless nights. She is ready to do it again.

Looks like the Hyderabad police have found a new way in teaching civic and traffic sense to the city dwellers. Recently, we saw how the city police 'politely' humiliated offenders who peed in public places by garlanding them in true Munnabhai style.

In a latest move, the Hyderabad traffic police are continuing their 'Gandhigiri' and are offering a police salute to the bikers who wear helmet while driving. Not only this, the cops are also garlanding these responsible bikers who are obeying the newly formulated traffic rules.

The city police are hoping that this will only inspire many others to follow suit and make the city roads safe for themselves and others. It is well known that the city traffic police have recently made wearing a helmet compulsory for bikers and are showing no mercy in booking cases and imposing heavy penalties for breaking the rules. -

Story


Hari and Giri are two guys who would be working as salesmen at a pharmacist shop. Not content with their earning as sales men they resort to pick pocketing. However, they are no trained thieves but silly people who want to cushion their salaries. They target locked houses and steal things. Since no big things get lost people won't bother complaining to police. 

The two will land in a treasure of money one day. As they try to run away with the loot, they will be caught by a gang. Not realizing why they were caught the two will confess of their theft. However, the gang is after a 'box.' What is the mystery behind the box forms the rest of the story.

Performance

Siddhu was impressive with his ease and his dialogue delivery reminds us of Raj Tharun and Nani. In romance with Rashmi, he showed his true prowess. His comedy timing is too good and it will take him far in the industry! Naresh was lively though you'd feel he's over doing at many instances. In some sequences he was extremely good too.

Talking about Rashmi, one wonders what was the need for this Jabardasth lady to reveal so much. Ask about performance, where was the scope for her to act? We know people won't go with the expectations of seeing her acting talent anyway!

Shraddha was good with her skin show and acting. Mahesh Manjrekar was good and rest of the cast lived up to their roles!

Technical

Praveen Sattaru is a man of different taking and style. Barring few sequences his taking and screenplay are impressive to say the least. Some of the dialogues will take youth by storm at least for some time. 

Charan's music was good - there were two songs which are good and the BGM was decent. Editing was not sharp and about OK. Second half feels slightly dragged. Production values are decent.

Plus Points

Siddhu and Naresh

Glamour quotient from Rashmi and Shraddha

Comedy

Twists and turns in the story

Minus Points

Dragged second half

Overboard romance

Analysis

This time Praveen Sattaru came with a full length entertainer. His USP is his screenplay and he wont disappoint audiences with Guntur Talkies too. 

The entire story revolves around one central point and he is good in achieving that with leading to monotony. Climax was a little let down though yet screenplay experiment will appeal to cine goers!

Final Talk

Talkies is all about Rashmi and Shraddha's glamour recipes!

In Naga Chaitanya's superhit youthful flick 100%Love, a Mumbai starlet manner Tara Alisha Berry made her debut and got decent recognition as Chay's bride. She then appeared in JD Chakravathy's Money Money More Money. After failing to get the right offers in Tollywood, Tara shifted her base back to Mumbai.

In Bollywood, Tara played a rather outrageous role in the adult rated film Mastram and a couple of low budget films. Now, Alisha is back with easily the most erotic film of the year, Love Games. The film is coming from the Bhat camp which is an expert in dishing out sleazy, erotic thrillers.

Recently, Love Games' trailer was released and its steamy theme of married couple finding sex partners in a party has turned everyone's attention. Alisha's bold portrayal of a lady who falls for a married man is expected to strike the right chord with the audiences.

Last Friday saw the release of three medium budget movies, Manchu Manoj's Shourya, Naga Shaurya's Kalyana Vaibhogame and Jabardasth Rashmi's Guntur Talkies. But it was Kalyana Vaibhogame which emerged a clear winner of these all.

After collecting $13,257 during the Thursday Premieres, Kalyana Vaibhogame notched up its tally by further adding $32,365 on Friday and $64,237 on Saturday respectively, taking the total to $109,859. At this rate, the US distributors will end up with huge profits in thanks to their small investments.

On the other hand, Shourya failed to put up even passable figures after its dismal premier collections of $1,316 on Thursday night, following it up with $1,305 on Friday and $1,493 on Saturday, ending up with $4,114. Even a miracle can't pull out this Manchu Manoj starrer from ending up as a damp squib at the overseas box-office.

Even Guntur Talkies is continuing its poor show at the North American ticket counters. The film, which collected a paltry sum of $2,015 from its premieres, never revived itself and polled $1,264 on Friday and another $1,853 on Saturday, totalling to $5,132. -

Kshanam
RATING:
3/5
Cast: Sesh AdiviAdah SharmaAnasuya,Rajesh and Others
Directed by: Ravikanth Perepu
Produced by: Param Potluri, Kavin Anne

Music by: Sai Charan

Kshanam Movie Review

Kshanam, which caught the attention of movie lovers with intriguing trailers has lived up to the promise. Ravikanth did a fine job as the director and Sesh Adivi did well as the writer.

What is it about?
Rishi (Sesh) who is in US gets a call from his ex lover Swetha (Adah Sharma) from India. He comes to meet and her and she tells that her three year old daughter has been kidnapped. With no hope around, Swetha calls upon Rishi to help her. Rishi tries to find about the kidnap but couldn't trace any details about it. When Rishi doubts that Swetha is hallucinating that she has a daughter, she commits suicide. Rishi is now determined to find what happened to the kid and who is behind the kidnap.

Performances:
Sesh keeps it simple and that is the reason why his performance clicks. He is extremely impressive as the main lead. Adah is good as a suffering mother. She is cute and lovable in the flashback scenes. Anasuya got an interesting character and she shines in it. Vennela Kishore and Satyam Rajesh were good in supporting roles. Satya and Ravikanth are apt in their respective roles.

Technicalities:
Director Ravikanth Perepu took his time at the start. The film moves at a slow pace at the beginning but never loses grip. Second half is very impressive in spite of few unconvincing elements. He made a quality product within a shoestring budget and is definitely a talent to watch out for.

Background music is superb. DOP did an excellent job in giving quality output within the budget. Sesh's story is good. Screenplay written by Sesh and the director keep you on the edge of the seat. Producers must be lauded for backing a good script.

Thumbs Down:

Analysis:


Kshanam is easily one of the finest Telugu films made in recent times. The team was successful on the writing table itself. The movie has an interesting plot and the writers have done a fabulous job with the screenplay. However the film has some issues with its pacing. The first half of the film is uneven with racy moments and dragging scenes.

Second half is gripping and keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats. Screenplay keeps you guessing until the penultimate scenes. The intentions behind the crime are not convincing though, but they had the necessary shock factor to excuse the flaws. The quality of the film amazes you as it never look like a low budget film.

Kshanam is a must watch for the fans of thriller genre and for those who love to watch different films. The technical team has put their heart and soul into it and this small gem springs in a surprise with solid content. Go for it.

Verdict: Keeps you hooked until the last 'Kshanam'.

Kalyana Vaibhogame
RATING:
3/5
Cast: Naga ShouryaMalavikaRashi and Others
Directed by: Nandini Reddy
Produced by: Damodar Prasad
Banner: Sri Ranjoth Movies
Music by: Kalyani Koduri
Release Date: 2016-03-05
 

Kalyana Vaibhogame Movie Review

Nandini Reddy, the director who has made a pleasant romantic comedy like Ala Modalaindi couldn't live up to the expectations with her second film. She took a long break to come up with her next film and her hard work and the amount of time invested into writing this is clearly seen in Kalyana Vaibhogame. It is a feel good romantic entertainer that has lot of moments that strikes a chord with the viewers.

What is it about?

Shourya (Naga Shourya) is a computer game designer who wants to settle in the US as a million dollar company owner. Divya (Malavika) has higher aims to achieve, but her father decides to get her married. Shourya is almost blackmailed to get married and that's how he meets Divya. The couple decides to get married but on conditions. However life doesn't turn out as they expected it to be.

Performances:

Naga Shourya tried to do some larger than life characters that have given him bitter experience. He is back in his comfort zone with Kalyana Vaibhogame. He is too good in the role of an ambitious youth. Malavika is a natural. She is a fabulous performer and has once again proved her mettle after an impressive debut in Yevade Subramanyam. Rashi is a delight to watch in the role of heroine's mother. Her expressive eyes do all the talking and acting. Supporting cast has done their part. Everyone is aptly cast.

Technicalities:

Nandini Reddy has done well in setting the mood of the film without wasting any time. Characters are so natural and believable. The situations are so real they feel like they are straight out of real life. Director has done a commendable job in getting the conflict right but somehow slips into familiar mode after a while as if she couldn't risk too much for the sake of novelty.

Dialogues are very impressive. Music is pleasant and so is the cinematography. Eye pleasing visuals and appealing music will keep you glued to the screen. Editing could have been better. Production values are good.

Thumbs Up:


Lead Actors

Rashi

Comedy


Thumbs Down:

Drags in second hour

Predictable screenplay

Analysis:

Kalyana Vaibhogame hits all the right notes in the first hour. There are hardly any flaws or issues with the script almost until the interval point. The film heads into predictable mode only after the couple lives under same roof. The process of the lead pair falling in love and realizing their love for each other appears cliched.

Nandini Reddy plays it safe when it comes to the second and the third acts. People who look for novelty will be a bit disappointed with her approach but audience who seek entertainment may not complain about it. Although it appears cliched, the film strikes the chord with its emotions and light hearted moments.

The film drags tad too much towards the end and gets over melodramatic as if it is pleading for us to shed a tear or two. Nandini Reddy ends it on a funny note by introducing her characters from Ala Modalaindi towards the end. It is a nice creative touch by the director. Kalyana Vaibhogame is not a perfect film but it has enough to keep us entertained through it. It is a must watch for people who love to watch Romantic comedies.

Verdict:  Emotional and Entertaining.

Krishna Gadi Veera Prema Gadha Movie Review



Natural star Nani is back with Krishna Gadi Veera Prema Gadha after his Bhale Bhale show at the box office with his previous film Bhale Bhale Magadivoi. Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi this film is a romantic crime comedy that keeps us entertained from the word go. Let's get into the details of KGVPG.

What is it about?


Krishna (Nani) is madly in love with Mahalakshmi (Mehreen) who is the only sister of a local rowdy. Krishna is afraid of approaching his lover's brother and Mahalakshmi tries her best to postpone her wedding plans. One fine day Krishna decides to go and tell him about his love. On the very night some people attacks on Mahalakshmi's house and Krishna is assigned the duty of ensuring the safety of three kids. Who are they and what happens next has to be seen on screen.

Performances:

Nani has once again come up with near perfect performance as a timid but determined lover. He is very believable and entertaining at the same time. He is very good with his comedy timing and is a true delight to watch. Mehreen is good as the female lead. She is cute but needs to work on expressions. There are loads of notable actors in key roles. Sampath Raj is pretty impressive as the tough cop. Murali Sharma is funny as the international terrorist caught up in a tricky situation. Pruthvi is hilarious as usual. Rajesh is good as the hero's friend. Brahmaji and Prabhas Sreenu have done their bit. The three kids are sweet and charming.

Technicalities:


Director Hanu Raghavapudi has done a very good job in keeping the pace up all the time. He made sure to have a sound script and dealt in an entertaining fashion. He could have made it subtler towards the end, but on a whole he made an enjoyable film with not much to complain about.

Music is alright. Background score is impressive. Cinematographer's work is topnotch. Editing is okay. There are scenes that need some chopping to make it crisper. Production values are very good.

Thumbs Up:

Thumbs Down:

Climax could have been better

Dragged at times

Analysis:


Krishna Gadi Veera Prema Gadha is a director's film. There is nothing sensational about the script but the director has made it a thoroughly entertaining movie with multi layered screenplay. There are many twists and turns in the film to keep you hooked all the time. Nani's characterization is superb which helped to maintain the entertainment mode right from the beginning.

The film never gets boring. It is a joyful ride until the penultimate scenes where it was needlessly dragged. Director chose to conclude it on an emotional note that may seem out of sync with the rest of the film. However that is not a major problem to be concerned about. Krishnagadi Love story is so much fun on a whole.

KGVPG lives up to the promise it has shown in its promos. It is a well made film that is worth watching just for the entertainment. It may not be bang on logic or might have taken few things easy, but that doesn't seem a problem at all. Nani has another winner on hands and Hanu is here to stay.

Verdict: Krishna gadi 'Victorious' Love story.

MOVIE:Shourya
RATING:
2.25/5
Cast: Manchu ManojReginaPrakash Raj and Others

Shourya Movie Review


Dasaradh who is known for making family entertainers like Santosham and Mr. Perfect tried his hand at thriller genre with Shourya. This had a good point but the director failed to get it right with the screenplay and execution.

What is it about?
Shourya (Manoj) and Netra (Regina) fall in love and decide to get married. But one night someone slices Netra's throat and police takes Shourya in to custody as the prime suspect. A police officer (Prakash Raj) believes Shourya is innocent, but Shourya admits that he has killed Netra as she cheated him. What happened between the couple and what led to Shourya taking such hasty action?

Performances:
Manchu Manoj delivered a fine performance, but is on the weightier side. His performance in the penultimate scenes is good. Regina is beautiful. She did a decent job as Netra. Prakash Raj is impressive as the sincere cop. Prabhas Sreenu shines here and there. Brahmanandam's cameo is wasted. Subbaraju and others have did their bit.

Technicalities:
Dasaradh tried to offer something new for the audience. His intentions are commendable but should have taken care of the script to make it a gripping thriller. There are few instances where the movie strikes a chord, but the director failed to maintain the tempo that is much needed for a thriller.

Music is mediocre and the songs are shot poorly. Dialogues are just okay. Editing is pretty bad. Movies like these need slick and sharp editing. Cinematography is average.

Thumbs Up:
Manoj

Interval Bang

Thumbs Down:
Slow Pace

Botched up screenplay

Weak Direction

Analysis:


Shourya has an interesting premise and opens with an intriguing monologue saying that every story has three sides to it. The film will catch your attention right at that point and prepares you for a thrilling ride. However the proceedings are anything but thrilling. Movie moves at a snail pace with some absolutely pointless scenes that takes the plot nowhere.

Love story between the lead pair is boring and makes you fall asleep. Things get interesting only at the interval scene where the hero reveals that he has killed the heroine. We expect the film to put us on the edge of the seat after that point, but Dasaradh once again takes a relaxing approach that doesn't let the film grow on you.

Only the last confrontation of Prakash Raj and Manoj packs a punch, but it is too late by then. Shourya could have been a very good thriller as the plot is interesting. It takes a nosedive because of poor screenplay. In the end we only wish the movie is as interesting as its trailer.

Verdict: Sleep inducing Thriller.
