My Movie - Yamadonga
2007-09-04 22:50:00
Yamadonga Yamadonga-“is it a remake of the super hit of yesteryear’s Yamagola?” was my first feeling when I heard about the movie. And it was true to an extent. The movie has all the fantasy elements of the old version and also a number of other things which captivate u and hold you spell-bound for a complete 3 hours. The first surprise you get once the movie has started is an extremely slim and fit looking NTR. It took me almost the whole time to actually believe that this was the same guy who had done Rakhi…. Then there is the plot-a petty thief who gets killed by Yama when he scolds the latter. This thief is so clever that he usurps even Yama’s power and threatens his place in heaven!!! The entire naraka episode is filled with anecdotes and comedy. Superb dialogue delivery by the 2 yamas (NTR and Mohan Babu) brings the house down. The songs are an added asset to the movie. They go along with the flow and are foot-tapping. Coming to the cast-Priyamani is really sweet as ...

Puri’s Neck on the Chopping Block?
2007-09-04 22:30:00
Chirutha release has been postponed once again. Reason? Chiranjeevi wants to personally supervise the pre-release publicity. And the one man who is most anxious about the fate of Chirutha, of all people, is director Puri Jagannath. He has done his best, but still some doubts linger. There was news that he did not have a completely free hand in direction and that there was some interference (Darsakathna Paryavekhshana!). The re-shooting of some sequences once again in Bangkok is just one example. Now Puri is in an unenviable position. His position is like – ‘Heads you win, tails I lose’ or if the film is a hit, then all credit goes to Ram Charan and if the film does not do well for any reason, then all blame is put at Puri Jagannath’s door. So Puri must be praying really hard, more than Chiranjeeevi and Ram Charan Tej, for the success of the film.

2007-09-04 21:36:00
Hot belle Genelia is a self-confessed ‘loser in love’. Genelia has had her share of heartaches in life. But the lissome actress says every relationship gone wrong has taught her and given her strength to be somebody in life. Of late, Genelia has been linked with her Tamil co-star Bharat. Some reports have even gone to the length of alleging that Genelia is in a live-in relationship with Bharat. The Bommarillu girl denies these rumors, saying that Bharat ’s family is extremely close to her family. Genelia also clarifies that Bharat is just a friend and she has never stayed at his place, so the question of a live-in relationship does not arise at all.

Pawan Kalyan ‘manages’ to escape trial
2007-08-21 07:07:00
Power star Pawan Kalyan, who is involved in a bigamy case, seems to have managed everyone from top to bottom to see that he would not attend the court. The additional chief metropolitan magistrate of Visakhapatnam gave one more month time to the city police to submit a detailed report of the investigation of the bigamy case filed against actor Pawan Kalyan, by his estranged wife Nandini. After listening to the III town CI Annepu Narasimha Murthy seeking some more time to submit detailed report, the magistrate directed the police to submit it by September 20. The police had earlier sought adequate time to furnish requisite information, prior to the last hearing on July 26 and the court conceded their request. July 26 was also the day when Pawan Kalyan was to depose before the judge. However, he abstained from the hearing by expressing his inability to attend, through an affidavit. As a consequence, the judge posted the case for further hearing on September 6. So, lot of time is th...

Buzz: T Subbarami Reddy Is Afraid Of His Wife!
2007-08-21 07:07:00
This is the grapevine that is making rounds. T Subba Rami Reddy is very generous with the people under him- like servants, drivers, chefs and all. The people working under him only say that. Apart from this, they also say other thing. “He gives away whatever we ask when he is alone. He gave away Rs 50,000 in 10 seconds when one among us asked for the marriage of the daughter. He gave Rs 10,000 in 5 seconds when one asked for a dire need. But when he sits at home and his wife is around he never gives a pie. We don’t say he is henpecked but in the matter of donating money, yes he is henpecked. He only gives money without the knowledge of his wife to people like us. Subba Rami Reddy ji’s wife is very calculated and she shouts a yell if she notices that her husband is giving away money for poor and needy”, said a person from the workers’ group on TSR. That’s really an interesting thing to underline.

Uday Kiran still finds himself a cursed hero, though he has the films ‘Viyyalavaari Kayyalu’ and ‘Lakshmiputrudu’ on hand. Though Mega Star Chiranjeevi is kind enough to pardon him for breaking the betrothal with his daughter causing serious damage to the formers reputation, the other members of Chiru’s family still hate him. Udaykiran is repeatedly praising Chiru in all the forums for clemency. But Chiru’s family members are not at all willing to consider him an actor. ‘Had I committed wrong against them, I would take the deserving punishment for ten more of my successive births’, Uday confessed in Chiru’s close aides of late.

Screen Talk: Rajamouli’s Big Blunder!
2007-08-21 05:57:00
Rajamouli is basking in the success of his latest film Yamadonga with NTR. The new slim look of Jr. NTR is one of the much talked about subjects about the film. While many are happy with his new slim looks and well toned body, there are some who feel that he was good in his earlier sturdy avatar, where he was fondly referred to as Bandodu. Now, coming to the point, NTR did excel in his role as the young Yamadharmaraju. He even brought back memories of his late grandfather NT Rama Rao with his dialogue delivery. While all this was good, he really looked a little weak as Yama. Many people were seen commenting that NTR would have been even more effective as Yama, had he not lost so much weight. So can’t help but feel that an experienced director like Rajamouli should have known better. If he wanted NTR to shed weight for his role as a petty thief, then he should have shot the scenes of NTR as Yama first and after completing them, he could have asked NTR to shed weight. That wa...
