Over the past few weeks, the ugly spat between Bollywood's leading stars Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons. A lot of allegations and accusations were exchanged between both the stars and their lawyers.
In an unexpected move, it is Kangana's ex-boyfriend and actor Adhyayan Suman's turn to make some startling revelations about Kangana's allegedly insane and abusive behavior. Adhyayan said that in his 5-years relationship with his Raaz 2 co-star Kangana, the actress abused him numerous times using filthy words like 'mother******', 'sister******' etc.
Adhyayan further revealed that Kangana even hit him with her stilettos on a couple of occasions in excessive rage and accused him of being jealous of her success in Bollywood. He went on to reveal that Kangana even practices black magic on him and performed tantric pujas in her hometown.
The young actor also revealed that it was Kangana who walked out on him when she started eyeing Hrithik during the making of Kites. Meanwhile, there has also been a lot of buzz that Bollywood stars ganging up to take their revenge on Kangana against her arrogant attitude.

MOVIE:Raja Cheyyi Veste
Cast: Nara Rohit, Nandamuri Taraka Ratna,Isha Talwar and Others
Directed by: Pradeep Chilukuri
Produced by: Rajani Korrapati
Banner: Varahi Chalanachitram
Music by: Sai Karthik
Release Date: 2016-04-29
Raja Cheyyi Veste Movie Review
Nara Rohit's last film Savitri was released exactly four weeks ago and he is back again. This time he is accompanied by Nandamuri Taraka Ratna, who played a dreaded villain for a change. Raja Cheyyi Veste made some buzz across film circles with interestingly cut trailers. Will this film quench the thirst of Nara Rohit and give him that much needed hit?
What is it about?
Rajaram (Rohit) is a wannabe film director. He gets a message from a top director who asks Rajaram to write a love story for him. Rajaram writes his own love story and sends it to the director, but he says that he has scrapped that project and doing an action entertainer. He asks for a particular scene where the hero kills the villain and Rajaram sends the scene to the director. In return Rajaram gets a courier from the director asking him to execute the same plan and kill Manick (Taraka Ratna). The unknown caller keeps on harassing Rajaram to kill Manick and also attacks his girlfriend Chaitra (Isha Talwar).
Performances:
Nara Rohit is in his elements. He needs to shed down few extra kilos to look better particularly in romantic scenes. He is at home in the emotional scenes. Taraka Ratna's makeup is out of place. Care should have taken on his styling and looks. He is anything but menacing in that villain character. Isha Talwar is beautiful and adds glamour to the proceedings. There are many actors in the supporting characters. Sivaji Raja, Sashank and Srinivas Avasarala made their presence felt.
Technicalities:
Pradeep Chilukuri tried to tell a beaten to death revenge story in a new style. He succeeded up to some extent, but couldn't hold the film together. There are many plot holes that makes this 'intelligent play' look lame and silly. Director succeeded in making a technically slick film within the budget constraints.
A couple of songs are passable. Title song is well shot. Dialogues are good in parts. Editing could have been tighter. Films like these should run at a breakneck pace. Cinematography is good. Stylized cinematography is the major asset to this film. Varahi banner's production values are commendable.
Thumbs Up:
Interval point
Few twists
Dialogues
Thumbs Down:
Beaten to death plot
Lethargic screenplay
Second half lacks steam
Dull Climax
Analysis:
Raja Cheyyi Veste has a very intriguing twist towards the intermission point that sets the right mood for the second half. Even the second half starts on an interesting note with some thrilling scenes right after the interval point. However director loses grip over the narration after a while and the film starts to move at snail's pace.
The flashback episode is the key for this film to keep the audiences interested about the rest of the story. However that episode lacked emotional depth and the predictable ending makes it a boring fare. Director's attempt at intelligent play didn't translate on to the screen because of poor execution.
One would expect a spell binding climax given the buildup to hero's intelligence. What Raja Cheyyi Vesthe offers is a lackluster ending with laughable emotions. This film could have been better if the conflict between the hero and villain is established well. Cat and mouse game should have been the plot device to run this sort of movie. Raja Cheyyi Vesthe ends up as a half baked film with many interesting ideas gone wasted.
Verdict: Raja Disappoints.

Tollywood already has a few stars like Pawan Kalyan and Prakash Raj who are actively into farming. Looks like the hot and happening anchor turned actress Anasuya will follow suit. While Pawan and Prakash Raj always wanted to do agriculture, Anasuya's decision to try out farming is a result of her sudden awakening of social consciousness.
This morning, Anasuya tweeted a series of tweets filled with 'gyaan' on social responsibility in these times of global warming and severe water crisis. Anasuya said that she suddenly woke up with a thought of getting into farming after she retires from entertainment field.
Explaining the reason behind her decision, Anasuya rather raised some serious concerns about creating a healthy environment for future generations. She went on to state that she regrets giving birth to her children when she can't even offer them a better place to live. The hot beauty further vowed to go green whenever and wherever possible and requested everyone to do their bit. -

Of late, there have been several incidents of Indian students watching films stealthily in theatres without bothering to purchase tickets. Though these students are let off with mere warnings, such incidents are coming to light more often.
In a latest incident, three Telugu students from a local university in Kansas were caught red-handed while watching Allu Arjun-starrer Sarrainodu in a theatre at BB 16, Overland Park.
The management found that these students were watching the movie without purchasing the tickets. However, they were let off after the local exhibitor took initiative and warned them against repeating such offences.
President of Telugu Association of Greater Kansas City (TAGKC) warned that such offences would harm the precious career of students. It is unfortunate that such incidents have been taking place repeatedly despite warnings, he said.
Namma Metro trains will be restricted to run at a speed of 38-40 km per hour in the underground section to maintain safety standards of the train and the safety of passengers as well.
The trains are not running beyond 38-40 km per hour even on the elevated sections to maintain safety standards. The safe speed has taken into account international speeds of metro trains in a wide variety of cities, including New York and Beijing.
The major reason why the speeds have been limited is that the trains require space and time to accelerate and decelerate. Metro officials explained that acceleration and deceleration require more than 400 metres each to pick up speed or to come to a halt. This amounts to almost half a kilometre.
“By the time the train attains a fairly good speed, it would have already reached the halfway point to another station. And then the train will be left with just 600 metres before it reaches the station ahead, when it has to begin to slow down. The same is the case with deceleration. The train would have to slow down gradually from a distance of 400 metres leaving it very little space to run speedily right up to the station,” a senior Metro official said.
Moreover, the distance between each station is just 1 km. If the distance had been one and a half km or 2 km, then the maximum speed of 80 km an hour could have been maintained. With 1,000 metres being the distance between two stations now, there is very little time left to speed up or slow down rapidly. So, it has been decided to keep to 38-40 km per hour. At this speed, the trains run into the station fairly comfortably.
"
Other metros too would be running at an average of 40 km per hour, according to officials. “Like Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kochi metros, too, would run on an average of 40 km per hour.
The structures they have built and the areas in which they go make that a comfortable speed. More or less, all the metros in the country are built on a similar basis though there may be differences in terms of topography, which also influences the speed you can maintain between the metro stations,” the officials said.
The topography of Bengaluru is rocky and uneven with the underground areas going up and down. The unevenness has been a major reason why the underground section has been taking time.
Finally, the distance between Mantri Square and Majestic inter-change has been covered by the underground machine Godavari, making possible the inauguration of the underground section on April 29.

The Army today regretted in the Patna High Court conducting a recruitment examination at Muzaffarpur for candidates in their underwears to prevent cheating and promised to take all precaution so that such an incident does not recur.
An affidavit was submitted by Director, Army Recruitment Board, Muzaffarpur, V S Godhara and a division bench of acting Chief Justice Iqbal Ahmed Ansari and Justice Samrendra Pratap disposed off the PIL after it.
Central government counsel S B Sanjay submitted the affidavit on behalf of Godhara expressing regret over the incident.
"Regret such incident. What happened should not have happened. Assured that respondent will take all precaution so that no such occurance happens in future," the affidavit submitted in the HC read.
On February 28, some 1,100 candidates were made to take off their clothes first and then sit only in underwear in an open field at Muzaffarpur for examination for the post of army clerks in a bid to prevent copying.
The incident had invited angry reaction.
Reacting to the images splashed across the media, the Defence Ministry had asked Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhaag to explain.
Colonel V S Godhara of Army Regional Office had at that time defended the action citing previous instances of candidates hiding slips of paper and mobile phones in their undergarments.
The Patna High Court too had taken notice of these pictures and filed a suo motu public interest litigation.

Power Star Pawan Kalyan's Sardaar Gabbar Singh may have ended up as an epic disaster. But this has not deterred the actor and his close buddy and producer Sharrat Marar from launching their next film immediately. The film's muhurtham was held this morning at Sharrat Marar's office.
Interestingly, several distributors who incurred huge losses after Sardaar flopped attended the muhurtham and expressed their woes to Pawan and Sharrat Marar. Apparently, Sharrat has promised them the theatrical rights of Pawan-SJ Surya film at a huge discount up to 25%.
Needless to say, the distributors were happy with Sharrat's prompt gesture and they returned with high hopes of recovering their losses with Pawan's latest film. This film is a romantic love story with faction backdrop and we will have to wait and see if the Pawan-SJ Surya combo will repeat their Kushi success. -

The Freedom 251 flash sale took the entire nation by storm in late February with its Rs.251 price for a high-end smartphone built with all the advanced features. But the Ringing Bells company failed to live up to the hype and succumbed to the intense glare and what followed was a catastrophe.
Now, according to the ongoing reports being published in national media, a Jaipur-based smartphone maker called Docoss is promising a similar Android smartphone named Docoss X1 for Rs.888, beating the country's most affordable and reliable smartphone Micromax Bolt S301 priced at Rs.2,150.
The Docoss X1 smartphone bookings are open already on the company’s official website www.docoss.com and the sale closes by April 29. The company claims that the mobile phones will be shipped to the customers starting from May 2nd.
The Docoss X1 is a 3G smartphone and it has a 4-inch IPS display and boasts a screen resolution of 800x480 pixels. At 102 gms and 9.3mm thickness, the X1 is lighter than the Freedom 251 which weighed 116g. The X1 runs Android 4.4.4 (KitKat).
Following the Freedom 251 fiasco, market analysts are cautioning the buyers before booking the Docoss X1 smartphone. -

Twists and turns are not giving a chance to anyone on getting to an opinion on TV actress Pratyusha Banerjee suicide case. In yet another shock, the latest audio clip of phone conversation between Pratyusha and her boyfriend Rahul Raj an hour before her suicide brings unheard things that led to her suicide.
Justice Mridula Bhatkar heard the three and a half minute audio clip of their conversation, while hearing the pleas of accused Rahul Raj for an anticipatory bail.
According to the phone conversation:
Pratyusha Banerjee: Mujhe characterless kaha jaa raha hai. Mujhe marne ki dhamki di jaa rahi hai. Mere maa baap ko marne ki dhamki di jaa rahi hai. Bacha kya hai meri zindagi mein. (I have been called characterless. I'm getting death threats and my parents are getting them too. What's left in my life now?)
Rahul Raj: Yeh sab choti baatein hain. (All these are not a big deal)
Pratyusha Banerjee: Aap isko choti si baat kaise bol sakte ho. Mr. Rahul please keep your ego aside. (How can you say it's no big deal? Mr. Rahul, please keep your ego aside.)
Rahul hung the call while Pratyusha was still speaking.
Pratyusha Banjerjee: You cheater, tumne mujhe cheat kiya hai, mujhe mere maa baap se alag kar diya, ab dekho main kya karne ja rahi hoon (You cheater, you cheated on me, you separated me from my parents, now see what I do)
Rahul: What happened? I will talk to you once I reach home, I am on the way; till I reach, don't do anything.
Court granted bail to Rahul, unable to find any evidence in phone conversation that intended the suicide.

The most talented director of present era in Telugu films is undoubtedly Trivikram. The star director stays and keeps simple with his public appearances, though his movies make businesses with superstars and that too with numbers more than night digits.
Here is a rare picture of Trivikram Srinivas with his wife Soujanya. The star director often appears along with his best friend Pawan Kalyan at public events, but not many notice him with his wife as he comes out with her rarely at film events. That is one rare picture! -

Apple has reported its first-ever drop in iPhone sales since launching the smartphone in 2007 as the tech giant's long streak of rising revenue ended.
Apple yesterday said iPhone sales dropped year-over-year for the first time, slipping to 51.19 million in the recently ended quarter compared with 61.17 million in the same period a year ago.
Profits fell as well: Apple reported net income of USD 10.5 billion in the fiscal quarter to March 26 from USD 13.6 billion last year.
With iPhones the main driver of sales for the company, revenue fell on a year-to-year basis for the first time since 2003: USD 50.6 billion from USD 58 billion a year earlier.
Apple shares dove more than eight percent to USD 95.72 in after-market trades that followed release of the earnings figures.
Sales of iPhones, the heart of Apple's mobile age money-making machine, were down 16 percent, according to the earnings report.
While Apple is the world's largest company by profit and market value, it has been shifting its focus in anticipation of the slowdown.
"Our team executed extremely well in the face of strong macroeconomic headwinds," said Apple chief executive Tim Cook.
"We are very happy with the continued strong growth in revenue from services, thanks to the incredible strength of the Apple ecosystem and our growing base of over one billion active devices."
Analysts said it was not surprising to see the drop given the saturation of the global smartphone market.
"Following a rapid expansion into new markets over the years from 2007-2011, Apple was approaching saturation of the available distribution channels, and many of those already in the smartphone market who could afford to buy an iPhone had one or one of its high-end Android competitors," said Jan Dawson at Jackdaw Research.
Dawson said Apple managed to boost sales in a slow-growing market with its large-screen models, but that it is unclear if it can regain momentum.
Apple also announced that its board has authorised USD 35 billion more to be spent on buying back shares, along with money for the dividend to be increased to 57 cents per share.
Apple has been making inroads into wearable technology with its Apple Watch and moving into services such as music subscriptions, but remains largely dependent on the iPhone for profit and revenue.
Apple yesterday said iPhone sales dropped year-over-year for the first time, slipping to 51.19 million in the recently ended quarter compared with 61.17 million in the same period a year ago.

Presidential front-runner Donald Trump today declared himself the "presumptive" Republican nominee after sweeping the five primaries in north-eastern states.
"I consider myself presumptive nominee," Trump said in his victory-speech after winning the nominating contests in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.
"Tonight was a huge win to Make America Great Again! We now stand alone to take on Hillary and win the White House," Trump said.
In all the five States Trump bagged more than 50 per cent of the votes.
In fact, in Rhode Island and Delaware his vote percentage was more than 60 per cent. In Pennsylvania it was more than 58 per cent, in Connecticut 59 per cent and Maryland 56 per cent.
With this, his delegate count jumped to 944 despite that in Pennsylvania because of local rules he got 17 out of 71 delegates as the rest of the delegates are unbound and free to vote for any candidate in the GOP convention.
Even as Trump declared himself as "presumptive nominee" he is still a little over 300 delegates away from the 1,237 delegates.
"As far as I am concerned, this race is over," he said, adding that his another rival Governor John Kasich who has 153 delegates to his kitty is simply wasting his time.
Kasich came second in four of the five States but could earn just five delegates.
After the latest primary results, Senator Ted Cruz has 559 delegates and his path to nomination before the convention is impossible.
Cruz came last in four of the five States.
Trump said he can easily defeat Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
"She does not has the strength and stamina" to be the president of the United States and successfully handle countries like China, Japan and Mexico, he said.
"I am going to bring jobs back to the country that you have never seen," he claimed and alleged that Clinton is funded by Wall Street.
Clinton won in four States and her rival Bernie Sanders in Rhode Island.
The primary results moved both Trump and Clinton several steps closer to to earning their party's nomination for the November polls.
Both are about a little over 300 delegates short of the number required yet to reach the half way mark to bag their respective parties presidential nomination.
The next primary is scheduled in Indiana next Tuesday where Cruz and Trump has entered into a strategic alliance to prevent Trump from getting 1,237 delegates.
Kasich is not campaigning In Indiana, while Cruz is not campaigning in the States of New Mexico and Oregon as part of this strategic alliance.

Glamour girl Tamannah has a lot of dreams to make it big in Bollywood. She expressed her desire long ago and ran after one or two offers in Bollywood, when she was at the peak of her career in Telugu film industry.
She desperately tried for roles in Mumbai, claiming that she was actually a North Indian girl and was forced to do films in South because of her bad time. She even offered to settle down in Mumbai, if she got enough roles there.
However, her attempts in Hindi film industry ended up as disasters – whether it was “Himmatwala” with Ajay Devgn or “Hum Shakals,” which were released with high expectations but bombed at the box office.
So, Tamannah had to return to the South to act in Telugu and Tamil films one after the other to sustain her career. She regained her glory with the tremendous success of Baahubali, followed by Bengal Tiger and Oopiri, both of them turned out to be hits.
And it brought her an offer in a Hindi film, too, which is going to be directed by Rohit Shetty. So, the milky beauty has got yet another chance to try her luck in Bollywood, her dreamland.
Apparently, the Hindi film makers have decided to give her one more chance only because of her success track in South, though her earlier films in Bollywood were disasters.
Let’s see whether Tamannah would make use of the latest offer and settle down in Bollywood which is her dream destination!

None other than the AP CM Nara Chandrababu Naidu has graced the occasion to bless the newly married couples and congratulated the young leader. Noted ministers like Palle Raghunath, Kamineni Srinivas and several MLAs of Ananthapur district attended the event. -

The only name and face that strikes our mind when asked about the successor of top league actresses Samantha, Anushka and Tamanna, is Rakul Preet for sure. One cannot exactly say how she is crawling slowly towards the top position and when is not having any blockbuster in her account till date.
Rakul Preet started her filmy career in 2009 in Kannada but a Telugu move Venkatadri Express with Sandeep Kishan helped her to find some recognition here. She hardly had any hits here other than Loukyam and Nannaku Prematho and a huge list of disasters to count down. She managed to bag star hero films like Kick 2, Bruce Lee, Nannaku Prematho and Sarrainodu and Ram Charan's next film too, which brought her the craze enjoyed usually by a star heroine.
Rakul Preet is not a heroine who prefers a better story to a star hero. When she is okay being just a beautiful girl in all her films, what else does she need other than a star hero who carries a film on his shoulders. While her friends Regina, Raashi Khanna, Nanditha and Lavanya Tripathi are still struggling to sign a star hero film, Rakul already did few of them and one crucial reason for it seems to be her flexible pay checks.
Rakul is heard to be too cooperative with money issues and she is always ready to manage her personal expenses, which usually shoots up more than 30 lakhs in case of other heroines. With her recent film Sarrainodu, Boyapati Seenu got impressed a lot with her cooperation, professionalism and dedication which compelled him to bring her on board for his next too. With weak stories and biggest failures, star heroes and flexible remunerations, Rakul is a star heroine! -
