Saloni to pair up with Venkatesh!

Saloni, who has made her comeback with Rajamouli’s directorial Maryada Ramanna seems to be grabbing every big chance that comes her way. Post Maryada Ramanna, Saloni has taken up only a single female-centric film Telugammayi. But later on Saloni has got the chance of pairing up with biggies of Tollywood.

Recently, the actress has accepted one of the female lead roles in Bala Krishna’s forthcoming film Mahadeva Naidu. Now, the latest update is Saloni has been zeroed in as the second leading lady in Venkatesh’s new film which is the remake of Malayalam hit Bodyguard. Gopichand Malineni is directing the film and Trisha is playing the female lead.

Hope Saloni gets the deserving break with these couple of big banner projects.

RR Makers acquires the rights of NTR, Surender Reddy combo

We has recently reported that RR Movie Makers has acquired the entire A.P distribution rights of Nagarjuna starrer Rajanna. Now, the latest news is the production cum distribution house has also acquired the entire A.P theatrical rights of NTR, Surender Reddy’s combo tentatively titled as Oosaravelli.

RR Makers are said to have acquire the rights for a fancy price of 27 Crores. B.V.S.N Prasad is producing the film on Sri Venkatestwara Cine Chitra banner and the movie is lasted for a release in September. Tamannah is playing the female lead while Harika alias Payal Ghosh is playing second fiddle to her. The film is touted as an action-packed entertainer.

Ram Charan's hands on 'hot beauties'

Ram Charan's choice of heroine for 'Orange' has been widely criticized by one and all. Genelia was very much outdated by then and still Charan roped in her as his lead lady due to the insistence of director Bommarillu Bhaskar. However, he has learnt from his mistakes and is not going to repeat them in the near future.
Apparently, Charan would be romancing three of the hottest beauties of current circuit in his upcoming films. Tamanna is roped in for 'Racha', Samantha will be Cherry's girl VV Vinayak's film and his lucky charm Kajal would be teaming up again for Vamsi Paidipally's movie.
Though presence of Top Heroines alone may not make a flop into a hit, but they can certainly add spice to a successful film. In that case, Charan has got his basics right for his movies. Now the fate of all these movies depends on the writers and directors.

'Veera' to do 'Vaade Veedu'

Rapport between hero raviteja and director Ramesh Varma worked out solid which will be seen with the film ‘Veera.’ Though this director is known for dealing only small budget films like ‘Oka Oorilo’ and ‘Ride,’ this is first time a high budgeted ‘Veera’ is kept in his hands.
Ramesh Varma is giving all credits to Mass Maharaj for making him comfortable in every aspect of ‘Veera’ through out in making. ‘He offered more than 100% for every shot. Few days ago, I have narrated one more story titled ‘Vaade Veedu’ to raviteja and we will join the hands soon for this entertaining subject again. My hero will play dual role as usual like in ‘Veera.’ Waiting for final approval,’ said Ramesh Varma. Good to see this yopung director impressing raviteja second time.

Mega inspiration to Nandamuri heroes!



Fresh mania for the season is Multi Starrer movies. After those memorable times of NTR, ANR and Krishna, Shobhan Babu; there is literally a vacuum in production of these high range films for various reasons. It is Paidipally Vamsy and ‘Dil’ Raju who can be regarded as premiers in restarting this trend. Yes, there is tremendous buzz in cine circles about ramcharan - Allu Arjun getting together for a film of ‘Dil’ Raju. Taking inspiration from Mega compound, here comes news that even Nandamuri Kalyanram is planning a big project with Balakrishna, Junior NTR and himself that can be called the spectacular combination ever seen. Already ground work for the same has begun and Babai, Abbai have shown the green signal to Kalyan. Good to see, both these big families starting to write a new history in Telugu cinema.

Tarak n Bunny's wives too co-operative



As everybody say, the first few months following the marriage will be most memorable days in every one’s marital life. The adage can be slightly edited to re-affirm that understanding between wife and husband is the key for a happy married life.junior ntr and Allu Arjun can be called as lucky dudes in this aspect as they are said to have got most co-operative and committed life partners in Lakshmi Pranathi and Sneha Reddy respectively. Yes, insiders say that Lakshmi being so young in age crossing the minority very recently has started molding up to the image of his Young Tiger husband. It is known that Lakshmi has shown sheer professionalism by staying un-reactive on all the spoilt rumors spread in market about Tarak’s high dosed romance with Tamanna in ‘Oosaravelli.’ On the other side, Bunny is these days spending more time with the same milk white beauty Tammu rather than Sneha Reddy. Thanks to ‘Badrinath’ longest and never ending schedules which even includes picturization of wet and spicy songs which haven’t bothered Sneha. Looks like both Sneha and Lakshmi have well understood the professional commitments of their husbands who are of course the young star heroes. Let these two couples continue to show the same trust and love for rest of their life.

Hari Krishna to share screen with NTR.Jr

Nandamuri Hari Krishna has grabbed an important role in NTR.Jr’s forthcoming flick to be directed by Boyapati Srinu. Tentatively titled as Churakatti, Boyapati is said to have offered a dynamic role to Hari Krishna in the film. This is the first time the duo NTR and Hari Krishna are sharing the screen.

We need to wait to see, how the combo of NTR and Hari Krishna rocks on big screens.

'Mr. Perfect' jodi with 'Mr. Handsome'



After Krishnam Raju, it is alone prabhas bearing the heavy burden to stand up to the title of ‘Rebel Star.’ In spite he made a niche of own, prabhas with last two hits of ‘Darling’ and ‘Mr. Perfect’ entered altogether into a different league. To share the stress, here comes the new and young ‘Rebel Star’ in making whose name is already declared as Siddharth Raj Kumar, cousin to prabhas. Yes, this young man is making a debut as hero with new untitled film being produced by Kannada man S V Babu. Above is the first look of Sid and obviously those who have got a glance in industry circles started rating him as ‘Mr. Handsome’ looks wise. Sid is to debut as hero in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam at a time with single story. While shooting of the film is almost done, Telugu version directed by Gautham Patnaik will release in June. So, ‘Mr. Perfect’ gets a jodi of ‘Mr. Handsome’ with in his family.

Put off rumors on Pawan - Renu split



Rumors have gone overboard on pawan kalyan and Renu Desai’s marriage getting on rocks. When Renu left to Pune and Pawan in in Hyderabad for shooting of films, speculations have been dramatic showing even a reason for their split. But, here is Renu who wants to put off an end to all the rumors has spoke in personal to a news paper. ‘We are deeply in love from 11 years and will be together for many years to come. We are so much in love with each other, so that the question of split is just ruled out. I don’t know how these baseless rumors crop up. Now, I am worried about how these rumors affect my two children (Akhira Nandan, Aadhiya). My son is holidaying with his dad who is shooting but I stayed back to look after my daughter. I opted to stay in Pune only to pursue the education of my son,’ said Renu showing that her marriage relation is not on rocks but rock steady.

Is Raviteja's 'Veera' a risky project?



Every hero will have his own limitations both in acting and selling wise. Producers will be more careful in allotting budgets depending upon particular hero with whom they are making a movie. Then directors need to manage these resources optimally as per demand of story. But, here is one strange talk going round in film industry about the budget of ‘Veera.’ Obviously raviteja is Mass Maharaj with core strength in entertaining the mass audience. While inner sources say ‘Veera’ is made with an overt budget of near or above Rs.30 Crores which is highly risky compared by any standards of raviteja’s market reach. Sanvi Creations and Producer Ganesh Indukuri seem to have relied much on the success of ‘Mirapakay.’ As risk is the key word for big success, it is to be seen whether ‘Veera’ will have a reach above ‘Mirapakay’ or will it once gain be restricted to ‘Anjaneyulu’ or ‘Don Seenu’?

Seema Tapakai Movie Review

Seema Tapakai is his second film in the year and he has teamed up with Poorna for this out and out comedy entertainer. Seema Tapakai is releasing with good expectations in the trade circles as Allari Naresh is riding high with consistent hits in the recent times such as Kathi Kantha Rao and Aha Naa Pellanta. Will Seema Tapakai become yet another hit for Allari Naresh? Read On…

Story:

Sri Krishna (Allari Naresh) is the son of multi millionaire businessman (Sayaji Shinde). He falls in love with a girl Satya (Poorna), who works for uplifting the poor sections of society and in this regard develops hatred towards rich people. In order to impress Satya, Sri Krishna and his friend (Vennela Kishore) acts as poor and sooner, Satya falls in his love. Krishna even moves a step ahead and makes his multi-millionaire family live in slum area for making Satya believe that they are poor. Just, when his family accepts the lady, they come to know that Satya is the daughter of Rayalaseema factionist Nagineedu (Nagineedu). What does Allari Naresh do to marry the lady forms the rest of the story.

Performances:

Allari Naresh has once again rocked with his fantastic comic timing. He is extremely natural in acting and does his roles with ease. He has tried out something different in songs in Seema Tapakai especially he tried to imitate Super Star Krishna in the remix track of Aakasam lo oka tara song.

Poorna, the leading lady of the film has done her part well. She is confident and carried out the role neatly. Vennela Kishore needs a special mention, he has excelled in his role with great comic timing. Nagineedu carried his part well. Other artists like Seetha, Surekha Vani, Prabhu, LB Sriram, Shayaji Shinde and Rao Ramesh did their part as required.

Technical Analysis:

Director Nageswara Reddy has come up with a pure comedy film Seema Tapakai and he has really scored well for his comedy in the second half. Dialogues by Madhuri Raja are appreciable, Vandematharam’s music is okay and a couple of songs are good to be watched. Background score is neat. Cinematography by Vijay Kumar is a top notch. Screenplay is commendable while editing could have been better. Production values of Welfare creations are standard.

Analysis:

Director has made sure to entertain the audience to a full extent and he takes us a fun ride with the Seema Tapakai and the movie is one of the good comedy entertainers from Allari Naresh. The pre-climax episodes with spoof songs are hilarious and surely, the audiences will come out of theaters with smiling faces. A good product from welfare creations banner.

100% Love Movie Review

Behind the Movie: Naga Chaitanya and Tamanna joined the talented director Sukumar for this unusually titled flick on Geetha Arts. Music scored by Devi Sri Prasad already on the chartbusters, let us see how much % of marks did Sukku score with this ‘100% Love’?

In the Movie: Balu Mahendra (Naga Chaitanya) is an Engineering student at KBR College and also the college topper. He always wants to be Number One and likes to be called as ‘Balu is great.’ Now enters his ‘Maradalu Pilla’ Maha Lakshmi (Tamanna) into the same college and residing in Balu’s house. Being from a Telugu medium background Maha Lakshmi gets assistance from ‘Bava’ Balu and soon she tops the exams.

Then on cat and mouse fights between the two for top rank gives a chance to other student Ajith (Anand) to become number one ranker in college. Maha and Balu get on to a compromise to beat Ajith in final year exams. In due course of combined preparation, they fall in love but egos stop them from sharing their inner opinions. Although Balu becomes the college topper, he isn’t happy for Maha because she feels that Ajith is still a better student than Balu.

Clash of egos make them depart while Balu’s grandma (KR Vijaya) wants to see her grand son and grand daughter united for marriage. How did Balu’s grandfather (Vijay Kumar) living separated from his wife make this young pair realize the true meaning of love forms the key point. In between Maha agrees to marry Ajith and Balu agrees to marry his Personal Secretary Priya. Finally how this childish couple changed their self opinions form rest of the climax.

Values of the Movie: Sukumar touched a new, refreshing angle in college love and that too between the two college toppers. They are book worms yet they too have a romantic side. Once again screenplay is the magic thread for these kinds of movies. Hari Prasad seems to have worked enough but some how movie becomes feeble in second half. Sukumar’s strong mark was felt for first forty minutes of movie. Once the central point of movie is revealed when Balu moves away from marrying Maha, remaining portion of the film required strong concept and enormous depth in narration to unite the couple back. Here is where Sukku fumbled with pale stuff. Dialogues were funny and apt to the story line. Cinematography by Venkata Prasad is good especially in grabbing Tamanna’s sensible glamour while editing by Karthika Srinivas is also sharp and acute. Music by Devi Sri Prasad was excellent for two songs and background he impressed. Production values of Geetha Arts are also okay.

Performance wise Naga Chaitanya was at ease shouldering the college portion of film. When it comes to emotions, dancing, expressions and main content in second half…clearly his immaturity was visible. Tamanna was cute in both modern and traditional attires. 100% she dominated Chaitu in plenty of scenes and Sukku seems to have concentrated more on Maha character. Among others Anand, KR Vijaya, Vijay Kumar, Naresh, Dharmavarapu, MS Narayana and others are apt.

Out of the Movie: If you are a hardcore admirer of Sukumar’s concepts, then you obviously feel pride for first half and bored for second half. Entertaining first half is the life line for 100% Love. Narration was confusing and ordinary in second half. Even main leads couldn’t help Sukku in elevating the principal concept. Tammu and Chaitu were hands up with no adequate strength in their performances in second half thus degrading the final output. Although there are few moments and good filmy climax to relive but second half lacked in regular Sukku style of treatment. ‘Aho Balu’ song is where Sukumar was at his peak.

Naga Chaitanya dancing to ANR numbers was a good episode but he looks funny. Tamanna might get the acceptance from public with this re-entry into Tollywood. Box Office wise, cool entertainment in ‘100% Love’ might attract youth to theatres in this peak summer season. With no other movies in fray for next few weeks, ‘100% Love’ may make its hold at Box Office for one to two weeks.

Final Verdict: Time pass youthful entertainer worth passing in first division.
