Shruti Haasan Dating Cricketer?

According to grapevine, spicy beauty Shruti Haasan, who is scaling heights in Tollywood and Bollywood these days, is said to be dating an Indian cricketer. If we have to believe the reports published in a top Mumbai media, it seems true.
 
All these days we are noticing that Shruti Haasan is a regular at the IPL matches played by Chennai Super Kings team. Publicly she declared that her support always goes to CSK, though she lives in Mumbai her heart is full of Chennai. Now it is heard that she isn't just a supporter of CSK but also in love with Chennai team's star cricketer Suresh Raina. Our beautiful lady is not seen watching IPL at stadium this year, but still she makes sure that she catches up with Raina whenever time permits. Of course, cine-celebs and cricketers go hand-in-hand and if we have seen many such relations in the past.
 
Shruti is yet to react on the report published in Mumbai Media, with the report claiming that close sources have confirmed that Shruti and Raina are love-couple. After some high octane rumoured love stories of Harbhajan-Geeta Basra, Virat Kohli- Anushka  Sharma, this latest couple joins the cricketer-actor list.

Bharat Ratna for NTR?

He is the doyen of Telugu cinema and unarguably Telugu's most worshipped matinee idol. The On-screen God's foray into politics is nothing short of filmy story. His splashy political debut in 1982, which set tremors in the Indian political history, has still been talked about and used as a case-study by all new political parties. Bringing the solgan of "Aatma Gouravam" (Self-respect), veteran NTR pledged to rout Congress whose leadership belittled Telugus and changed five Chief Ministers of AP in five years. Every choice, decision he took 32 years ago is still being followed, practiced by many political parties now.

NTR decided to field educated candidates who had a good name in the society and were not indulged in corruption, which was an innovative political concept at the time. NTR himself decided to contest from two assembly constituencies, Gudivada and Tirupati. NTR used many innovative ways of campaigning, such as being the first politician in India to use rath yatras for campaigning. For this, he used a modified Chevrolet van which was given the name of Chaitanya Ratham. In this, NTR travelled across the state of Andhra Pradesh, crisscrossing all the districts. With his son Nandamuri Harikrishna, also a film actor, driving the van, NTR notched up over 75,000 kilometres during his campaign, a distinctive sight with the van's yellow party flags and banners and NTR sitting on top of the vehicle hailing the crowds. NTR campaigned for restoring the dignity of the Telugu people and advocated the forming a closer bond between the government and the common people.

NTR's efforts have paid off. Within just 9 months, TDP surged to Power. Putting an end to Corrupt and inept rule of then Congress, NTR's Telugu Desam Party won a massive 202 seats out of 294 Assembly seats. NTR sworn in as 10th CM of AP on January 9, 1983. He is the first non-Congress Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.Since then, he has never looked back. NTR later went onto become CM for thrice. His populasit schemes like 1 Kg rice for 2 Rs, initiatives like abolition of Patel-Patwari system, development for backward castes were all historical and magnum opus.

No doubt, NTR holds special significance in the hearts of Telugus. His name, his work, his classic films, masterpieces will all be cherished as long as the earth lives. On the eve of his 91st birth anniversary today (May 28, 2014), there is a ray of hope in every Telugu that TDP-BJP combine, Chandra Babu-Narendra Modi Jodi, will fulfill their dream- to see Bharat Ratna conferred for NTR. And yes, it will be proud moment to every Telugu.

Modi: Chaiwala to 15th PM of India

Narendra Damodardas Modi, PM-designate and four-term Gujarat CM, is all set to become 15th Prime Minister of India. 63-year-old Modi, who scored a mind-boggling victory and played key role in emerging his party (BJP) as the first single-party to get majority on its own in the Lok Sabha in 30 years, is going to take oath as Prime Minister at 6 pm today (May 26, 2014) in the forecourt of the majestic Rashtrapati Bhawan in New Delhi. Modi is likely to clad in his trademark short-sleeve kurta,jacket and expected to come in his favourite Scorpio. Before this, Modi will visit Rajghat today morning to pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi.

A chaiwala to Kara Sevak to Gujarat CM to PM of India, Modi's journey has been amazing and quite inspiring. Born on 17 September 1950 to a family of grocers belonging to the backward Ghanchi-Teli (oil-presser) community, in Vadnagar in Mehsana district of what was then Bombay State (present-day Gujarat), Modi was the third of four children born to Damodardas Mulchand Modi and his wife, Heeraben. He helped his father sell tea at Vadnagar railway station. As a child and as a teenager, he ran a tea stall with his brother near a bus terminus. Modi later gave up his family life to serve the country and joined as full-time Sevak in RSS. He later joined BJP and since then he never looked back. Modi was a key strategist for the BJP in the successful 1995 and 1998 Gujarat state election campaigns. He became Chief Minister of Gujarat in October 2001 and served longer by far in that position than anyone else to date. Modi has no assets of his own and he had a bank balance of Rs 21 Lakh that too he has given it to his car driver for his daughters' future.

Modi's swearing-in ceremony will have a number of foreign dignitaries in attendance including SAARC leaders. It would be attended by nearly 4,000 guests, including leaders like Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa.This is the first swearing-in to see representatives from foreign embassies and high commissions based in Delhi.President Pranab Mukherjee will administer the oath of office and secrecy to Narendra Modi and his Council of Ministers in the presence of a host of leaders, including outgoing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress President Sonia Gandhi and party Vice President Rahul Gandhi, besides leaders of various other parties and Chief Ministers of a number of states including AP CM-deignate Chandra Babu Naidu and Telangana CM-designate K. Chandrasekhar Rao. Above all, Mr Modi's 92-year-old mother Heeraben is also expected to attend the ceremony. With Modi set to be PM, all eyes of world are today on the biggest democratic nation.

Contrary to King Nagarjuna's statement that Akhil Akkineni hasn't acted in the family's grand gala 'Manam', the youngster made his debut on silver screen with this flick literally. He has just electrified the finishing of the flick with a perfect topping.

Akhil has appeared in 'Manam' in the climax of the movie and that is just for a scene. This news was brought live by many in media by it is shocking that Nag denied it calling it as a rumour.

Of course, director Vikram of Manam made sure that Akhil will get an electrifying entry such that audiences will feel it like an icing on the cake.

Anyway, Manam will be called complete picture now as it features all the heirs of Akkineni's legacy, with Nagarjuna, Chaitanya and Akhil rocking it all over. Catch that wonderful moment in theatres folks!

Gannavaram-Nuziveedu to be New Capital for Seemandhra

With the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh is imminent as it is just matter of days, and June 2 being the Formation Day of both Seemandhra (residuary state of AP) and Telangana, the big question on everyone's lips is what is the new capital for Seemandhra. It is common fact that many cities and towns like Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Guntur, Prakasam, Kurnool and Tirupathi are in fray. The Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) has done its own research and submitted a detailed report to sub-committee on the new capital for Seemandhra. DTCP officials have studied the locations of Visakhapatnam, Kurnool, Donakonda in Prakasam district, Hanuman Junction in Krishna district and Nagarjuna Sagar in Guntur district.

According to its preliminary report, Vizag, Kurnool and Donakonda in Praksam could be ruled out as the officials found it "difficult" to setup Capital there. Going by report, Vizag's geographical disadvantages acting as stumbling block for it whereas the officials found that Kurnool will face inundation problem and Donakonda is too remote place. DTCP officials have predicted better chances for both Hanuman Junction and Nagarjuna Sagar in Guntur district. While Hanuman Junction is located on Gannavaram-Nuziveedu stretch and equi distant from Vijayawada and Eluru, Nagarjuna Sagar is likely to have rich water resources. 

TDP top brass confirmed to Gulte.com that Gannavaram-Nuziveedu stretch would be the new capital. Efforts are being done to set up new capital city in between Gannavaram-Nuziveedu stretch, say top sources. Also, Gannavaram airport is likely to be renovated on par with global standards soon. Meanwhile buzz is that PM designate Narendra Modi, who is going to swear-in on May 26, is likely to make a big statement over Seemandhra very soon after taking the charge as PM. Modi is expected to announce a big financial package for Seemandhra. Chandra Babu-Modi's bonding is said to be come in handy for Seemandhra people.

On flip side, huge efforts are in place to simultaneously develop Guntur, Visakhapatnam, Tirupati, Kurnool, Prakasam and Nellore into new destinations for MNCs, education hubs (IIT, IIM), Sea ports, financial centres, Central research institutes respectively. TDP-BJP combine seems to be keen to keep its word and totally relying on development plank. Looks like, good days are ahead for Seemandhra.

Murali Mohan set for bigger role?

According to highly reliable sources in TDP, actor-turned-politician Murali Mohan, who won as Rajahmundry MP in recent Lok Sabha polls, is all set for bigger role in Narendra Modi's government. Sources confine that Murali Mohan would be given a Central Ministry in Modi's cabinet. Meanwhile, senior most TDP leader Ashok Gajapathi Raju is in race for Cabinet berth in Modi's cabinet.

Murali Mohan recently met Narendra Modi along with TDP supremo Chandra Babu Naidu and Modi apparently given assurance to Murali Mohan on allotting helping Ministry. Murali Mohan has been a staunch TDP supporter and he lost to Congress MP Undavalli Arun Kumar in 2009 elections with a very slender majority.Looks like, good days are ahead for Murali Mohan. Unlike before, TDP is expected to play a larger role in NDA and BJP's government this time around considering the bond Modi and Babu share. Let's see how far Modi-Babu combine work for newly formed Seemandhra.

Akhil In Manam? - Truth Revealed

One of those big rumours that is doing rounds in Film Nagar from a while is about upcoming young hero Akhil Akkineni's dream debut on Telugu silver screen. Big news is that he will be seen in a miniscule role in Legend ANR's last movie 'Manam'. With release date inching fast, Gulte.com tried to find out what exactly is true about this news.

To make things pretty clear, Akhil is not debuting on silver screen with 'Manam'. Maybe he will be seen in the making video of the movie, but he is not playing any bit-role or guest-appearance in the movie that features ANR, Nag and Chaitu. In fact, Akhil has visited the sets of Manam on the last day of shoot of Akkineni Nageswara Rao. The whole Akkineni family visited the sets that day as they want to see ANR's performance under arc-lights for one last time.

But that day, Samantha tweeted that Akhil is on sets and that led to belief that he is acting in 'Manam'. Otherwise, Akkhil is just waiting for the right script to make his debut and that takes place post release of 'Manam' like Nagarjuna said it many times earlier.

V.H's Stunning appeal to Pawan Kalyan!

Senior Congress leader from Telangana V. Hanumantha Rao, who lost in assembly election in Amberpet constituency to BJP president Kishan Reddy, has breathed fire on Jagan Reddy on his meeting with PM designate Narendra Modi. V.H alleged that Jagan met Modi only to get rid of the umpteen corruption cases he is battling with. V.H appealed to Modi and BJP leaders to keep Jagan at a distance.

That's not all. V. Hanumantha Rao appealed to Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan openly that he should refer to Modi over Jagan's corruption scandals. V.H said, "Pawan Kalyan must take up the issue of Jagan and refer to Modi so that Jagan be sent to jail." 

V.H's appeal to Pawan is certainly stunning as a senior leader like V.H is appealing to Pawan Kalyan who hasn't even contested in elections. This once again proves how capable, committed Pawan Kalyan is and his contact with Narendra Modi.

Pawan Unaware of T Movement's History?

Poor Pawan Kalyan, he has committed a political faux pas once again and has come under the radar of his staunch critics. Speaking at a public gathering, Pawan Kalyan went a step ahead and said that there was no Telangana issue during Chandra Babu Naidu’s term. Pawan had concluded that the issue gained momentum during YSR’s term as the Telangana people were not happy with his governance.

 Now, if one sets aside people’s anger with YSR’s regime, it is quite interesting to note that Pawan has got his history wrong. Is Pawan really unaware of the fact that TRS head K Chandra Sekhara Rao had resigned as the deputy speaker and TDP MLA to start the Telangana movement? It is indeed surprising to see Pawan Kalyan being so ignorant about the developments in Telangana in his effort to support and promote the TDP head Chandra Babu Naidu.

Before I die, I want to see this happen: Pawan

Pawan Kalyan has made an emotional speech today in Anantapur. Speaking at the public gathering furious Pawan said, "Before I die, I want to see Rayalaseema as developed place. I want this to happen before I take my last breath. I knew that this won't happen if corrupt leaders like Jagan occupy the throne. This is possible only when TDP comes to power. Chandra Babu Naidu will turn Ralla Seema into Ratnala Seema again."

In his blistering attack against Jagan Mohan Reddy, Pawan said, "Even before becoming CM, Jagan has amassed crores of rupees, looted public properties and grabbed acres of land. If he becomes CM, nothing will remain for people. He may resort to physical attacks against his rivals, opponents. He will have power, money, everything to threaten common man. People will suffer more if Jagan comes to Power. Jagan has no right to be CM of Seemandhra as he himself is a total failure when it comes to safeguarding Seemandhra people residing in Hyderabad. I didn't like his party's ideology as its sole aim is to come to power and they would do anything for it."

Pawan Kalyan didn't spare late CM Rajasekhar Reddy too. "Rajasekhar Reddy was the root cause for all problems including Telangana tangle. People of Telangana felt oppressed and looted during his tenure. All the consequences and sub consequences are because of Rajasekhar Reddy, Jagan either directly or indirectly." Pawan made it clear that Telangana is formed because of Jagan's power-hunger politics. He added that Sonia has given T-state keeping it would bank on Jagan's party in Seemandhra and they had a deal and that's why Jagan came out of jail. Pawan listed out the names of TDP candidates in Anantapur and asked people to vote for them.

Overall, Pawan's point-blank speech got thunderous response from public and it is buzzed that these crowds will certainly turn into votes. Unarguably, Pawan's magic is going to work in large way in Seemandhra and likely to play spoilsport for Jagan Reddy's wicked power politics. Let's wait and watch.

Pawan's Shocker: Vote for TDP & Make me ACT!

Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan warned the people over his voluntarily retirement from films if YSR Congress comes to power in the upcoming polls. 

Addressing a huge gathering on Sunday, Pawan Kalyan shared: "If you vote for TDP-BJP alliance, I will continue acting as your future will be in a safe hands. Or else, I will have to stop films to fight against the evil forces if YSR Congress forms the government by any chance."

What's more shocking is that Pawan Kalyan revealed he had once even thought of leaving the country as he was disturbed by the way public money has been robbed, but finally decided to fight against the corruption.

The actor-turned-politician also expressed the fear of resurface of Naxalism if YS Jagan is voted to power in the new state. He pointed out that natural resources were looted during YSR's regime and thousands of people became landless because of the robbery in the name of SEZs. Pawan claimed to be scared of the fact that these people who lost their lands might join Naxal movement if YSRC comes to power.

Trade Report: Anamika, Kotha Janta, Race Gurram

1. Unarguably, Sekhar Kammula became a brand of his own but it didn't help him much for his latest offing. Lukewarm response for his directorial "Anamika', have left distributors dumbfounded. "Sekhar has always got great openings for his movies post Happy Days since he became a noted urban-centric filmmaker with good following among educated and working class, youth and family audience, but this wrong choice to remake a Hindi film, has robbed of his openings too" says a distributor, who is even shocked with the dampening openings in overseas. "Just name of Sekhar would fetch Rs 1.5 to 2 crore in overseas since he has created a fan following among Non-Resident Telugus but this film had no takers and just clocked 15 lakh on day one" he adds. Whereas, in AP, it couldn't garner more than 30 lakh on day one and raising the questions 'Where have Sekar's fans have vanished".

2. After disastrous "Gouravam", Allu Sirish gets a breather as he received positive response for his performance in "kotha Janta" but film hasn't opened big, despite director Maruthi. The new-age love story opened to 40 lakh all over the state and it could pick up, riding on good reviews and mouth-talk and we have to wait and see, before declaring that Sirish has arrived or not, since his sibling film "Race Guram" is still rocking the box office. 

3. "Race Gurram", It is doing good business, despite new releases and crossed 13 crore mark in Nizam and doing well in major centers in other places in Andhra and managed to cross 41-crores net collections and still counting.

4. Nara Rohit's surprise package "Prathinidhi" is doing well comparatively with Chandama Kathalu. The film is doing well in B and C centres. Given that this is election season, the film struck a chord with a section of people. Prathinidhi's success is expected to put Nara Rohit back on track. 

5. Unfortunately, path-breaking film "Chandamam Kathalu", is yet to pick up and director Pravin Sattaru would be disappointed with such lukewarm collections, since his earlier film "Routine Love Story" had comparatively better openings.

Kotha Janta Movie Review

Maruthi who has delivered three hits in a row has become a brand among the business circles. Allu Sirish who failed to impress with debut film tried his hand at romantic comedy and played safe by having Maruthi on board. Let's see if Maruthi delivered the punch that Sirish was hoping for.

What is it about?

Sirish (Allu Sirish) is a selfish guy who doesn't care about others. Suvarna (Regina) is also similar type of character. Both of them work together for a TV channel and hosts a show called Kotha Janta where they conduct live marriages for controversial couples. They get an offer to join another TV channel, but Suvarna rejects the offer. Sirish fakes love to make her accept the offer. Suvarna takes him seriously, but Sirish remains to be selfish that causes tension in their relation.

Performances:                                                                                            

Allu Sirish:

Allu Sirish was stiff in Gouravam. Here he got the role of a typical youth and that made it easy for him. However he is still struggling to give right expressions. His body language lacks confidence. He doesn't have any special skills in dances or fights. Sirish will have to work hard to make an impression as an actor.

Regina:

Regina is very good. She is one of the positive aspects of this film. She is equally good in bubbly as well as pathos scenes.

Others:

Saptagiri stole the show whenever he is on screen. His lengthy comedy scene in the first half brought the house down. Posani Krishna Murali will entertain masses. Other guys who played the friend characters of Sirish are okay. Rohini and Rao Ramesh made their presence felt. Madhurima sizzled in an item song.

Technicalities:                                                                                                                                  

Direction:

Maruthi did his best to keep the film clean. His efforts to come out of that 'Boothu director' image are evident. One would expect more fun and comedy in Maruthi's film. Kotha Janta doesn't offer hilarious comedy except for few laughs here and there. This is a routine romantic entertainer with 'Selfishness' as the theme. Maruthi did a neat job on the whole.  

Music:

Music is decent. Popular item song 'Atu Amalapuram' is used to good effect. Rest of the songs are okay. Nothing to rave or whine about background score.

Others:

Editing is alright. Cinematography is up to the mark. Dialogues are okay. Production values are good.

Thumbs Up:

Saptagiri's comedy


Thumbs Down:

Predictable Screenplay

Analysis:

Kotha Janta is a formulaic romantic entertainer that checks all the boxes of the genre. We have seen many romantic comedies that are based on the egos of the lead characters. In this film Maruthi focused on the selfishness in humans. What happens if a girl falls in love with selfish guy? This is the basic idea of Kotha Janta.

There is some freshness in it. We expect the film to offer fresh entertainment and romance. But Maruthi played it safe by taking the beaten track. This makes the romance in the film uninteresting and the director had to fall back on comedy to make it watchable. There are some good scenes in the first half during the first half hour. Later the film takes the routine path and turns predictable.

Second half is not as impressive as the first half. There is hardly any chemistry between Sirish and Regina. Kotha Janta is just a time pass flick with routine romance and few laughs. Maruthi sticking to the formula might help the film on the commercial front. Those who expect a brand new love story will be left disappointed. Sirish may breathe easy as this film will not be ruled out completely like his debut film. But he will have to put in lot of efforts if he wants to achieve at least half of what his brother achieved till now.

Verdict: Nothing NEW!

Anamika Movie Review

Anamika: Logic 'Missing'

Ever since director Sekhar Kammula announced that he would be remaking Kahaani down the South (in Telugu and Tamil), there has been much curiosity around the project. With Nayantara being roped in to reprise Vidya Balan's role, the expectations have got bigger. Despite many delays in the shooting and none other than Nayan shunning promotions, Sekhar Kammula managed to keep the hype alive. Let's check out our take on it.

Synopsis:

Anamika (Nayantara) arrives to Hyderabad in search of her loving-husband Ajay Sastri, a techie, who has been missing for a week after he came down to Hyderabad from U.S on work. Nayan files a missing complaint in local police station and desperately tries to find his location. The emphasis is on: Who is Ajay Sastri? Does he exist outside Anaamika's head? Is he alive? Did he ditch Anaamika? Or Who abducted him? Why did they do so?

Performances: 

Nayantara as Anaamika done a fair job in the film. She easily slipped into  the character and carries the film on her shoulders. It's Nayan's show all the way. She sheds her tears, emotes well and keep you hooked to the film. Despite less screen presence, Harshvardhan scores with his brief role as terrorist. The whole film is all about him (Ajay Sastri) who only makes his presence in the climax. Vaibhav (Saradhi) is okay as Good Samaritan cop but it is his characterization in the film that disconnects one. Anaamika in the film often calls Saradhi, cop, by his name without much respect as if she knows him very well. Irony is the cop who works 24/7 for solving one 'missing' case calls her Anaamika garu!!


Technical aspects: 

Sekhar Kammula, who is struggling to return to glory, has chosen a remake. Unlike the original film Kahaani, Anaamika is neither taut nor delicious thriller. Blame the writer-director Sekhar Kammula for failing to adapt well. Lazy scripting is conspicuous. Inexplicable points in story, inert and boilerplate direction, sluggish narration mar the film. Sekhar, who is revered and regarded as intellectual filmmaker, too take too many cinematic liberties in narrating a thriller. Yet he throws many social challenges that a common woman is going through in society. All these aspects make Anaamika a Saada Film (any regular film).

Keeravani's background music is intense, gripping. Vijay C. Kumar's cinematography needs special mention. Editing is good. Marthand K. Venkatesh, who failed to act in the first half, realized it by the time film reached to the second part and counterbalances it.


Thumbs Up:

1. Nayantara
2. Story
3. Background score
4. Interval bang
5. Pre-climax
6. Second half


Thumbs Down:

1. Umpteen loop holes
2. Defies logic
3. First half
4. Inexplicable points
5. Climax
6. Inert, boilerplate direction


Analysis: 

The film begins with a terror blast in Lumbini Park and swiftly switches into the life of Anaamika (Nayantara) and her 'missing' hubby Ajay Sastri (Harshvardhan). The film runs at snail pace in the first part and bores you at times. Interval bang raises curiosity and stay you connected. It is one's trust on Sekhar Kammula that holds you to watch the second half. Living up to expectations, Sekhar manages to compensate the loss he has done in first half with the second half. Yet there are many inexplicable points (like why didn't terrorists or Home Minister try for the hard disk right from the beginning, Home Minister Naresh's relation with blasts, How could he close the every crucial, sensational case, including C.I's murder, without solving? Why Saradhi has so much soft-corner on Anaamika, How come dreadful terrorists fail to differentiate between right hard disk and a dummy one, How come international and notorious terrorist chief  simply gets killed) loop holes in the script that baffle you with many unanswered questions. And this list goes on and on and on. This is what keep you off the track. 

Nayantara tries hard to save the film and yes, she is partly successful. Pre-climax portions are good. Despite missing some logic, the film is a one-time watch. The film might connect to people who haven't watched original Kahaani.

Verdict: Seedha Saadha Kahaani (Normal Story)
