Mani Sharma turns producer!!

He is known as the Melody Brahma of the Telugu circuit and true to his title, he has come up with some really melodious tunes in his career. However, he seems to be going through a rough patch of sorts as his tunes are not hitting the chartbusters so now he is taking a different path.

We are talking about the veteran music composer Mani Sharma and now he is all set to make his debut as a producer. Reports say that Mani Sharma is looking at an investment of Rs 7 crores for his new project and it must be recalled that he did quite a bit of acting too whenever he could.
Mani Sharma has started his own banner Ocean films (named after his son Sagar) and will be producing this movie. Being a music lover Mani Sharma roped in veteran lyricist Veturi to pen all lyrics in this movie

While more details are awaited on this one, it is being said that Mani wants to prove a point that he still has the streak of success in him. Sources reveal that he is looking at the lean and lanky Varun Sandesh as the hero for his debut production venture. All the best Mani Sharma!!!

'Ride' movie review

My rating: 2.75/5

Genre: Youth/Family

Type: Straight

Banner: Sri Sai Ganesh Productions

Cast: Nani, Tanish, Shweta Basu Prasad, Aksha, Adarsh, Ahuti Prasad, Sudha, Kasi Viswanath, Brahmanandam, Dharmavarapu, Tulasi, Kinnera, Bikshu, Hema etc.

Music: Hema Chandra

Cinematography: Shyam K Naidu

Dialogues: Shashank Vennelakanti

Editing: Marthand K Venkatesh

Fights: Ram Lakshman

Story - screenplay - direction: Ramesh Varma

Producer: Bellamkonda Suresh

Release date: 5 June 2009

As the title suggests it’s a movie based on bike ride. Obviously it appeals for teens and let us see how far the movie reached expectations.

Story:

Mahesh (Tanish) is the responsible son of a middle class retired father (Kasi Vishwanath). He joins in Kapil Chit Funds as collection agent to add something to his father’s pension. As his employer (Brahmanandam) asks him to possess a bike to work in his company, his mother (Thulasi) gifts him one on loan.
On the other hand Arjun (Nani) is the son of an employee (Ahuthi Prasad) who believes more in savings than fulfilling the bike-desire of his son. Arjun is so passionate about bike that he finds no meaning in life without that. He studies in collage and dreams about possessing a bike every day.
Once, Mahesh loses his bike and finds that with Arjun. The tug starts from then. Has Arjun stolen Mahesh’s bike? Finally how that bike changes the lives of these two youngsters? That forms rest of the story.
Rani (Swetha) is the lady beside Mahesh and Pooja (Aksha) s the girl for Arjun.

Performances:

Nani is at his best. He is setting a trade mark for himself with unique voice and modulation of dialogues. There are many mass dialogues written for him and he delivers them with panache. His dances in Danchave Menatha song are pretty good. But at times, he is brining in monotony of expression carrying his Asta Chemma flavor. He should be conscious at that point. He proves to be a good suit for mass oriented roles.

Tanish is still tender in looks. He needs to add roughness to fit into the action oriented bill. Tanish’s body language, costumes and introduction scene in this is movie is modeled after hero Mahesh Babu. Tanish is really good in emotional scenes. But he is perfect fit for the role he portrayed in this film. He has to work on dialogue modulation.

Aksha is for glamour while Shwetha is with performance plus glamour. Like ‘e…p..u..d..u’, ‘e….k..a..d..a’ modulation in KBL, here she was give the mannerism ‘Ori Nayano..’. But that proved superfluous in some scenes. There is no much footage to the heroines. Aksha looks like a broader version of Trisha. She needs to shed a few pounds to look more attractive on the screen.

Three actors are borrowed from Nachavule film. Kasi Viswanath, small boy and hero’s friend are these characters. All these characters are like just an extension of their Nachavule performances. Ravi Babu should get some royalty for Ride film.

Kasi Vishwanth has slimmed down and now looking better than that of in Nachavule. Ahuthi Prasad has little to portray. Comedy would have worked on him to add value for his presence. Others are ok.

Brahmanandam-Praveen combination as bava-bavamaridi brought many laughs in theaters. Praveen seems to be promising artiste for subtle humor and comedy for many film makers these days.

Analysis:

As said above, it’s a concept that appeals to the age group of 13-19. The sentiment that surrounds a bike may not appeal for matured audiences. It’s a clear cut action-sentiment drama knitted around a two-wheeler.

First half of the movie is with good pace while second half pervaded with action episodes and chasing sequences. The climax is a bit lengthy but there is little scope to make it short.
The screenplay and direction is neat till the movie reaches interval point. The movie is over in the second half the moment when these guys decide to share the bike. The last 20 minutes of the movie which comes after resolving the main conflict appears like an undesired extension. The screenplay and direction is not satisfactory in the second half. The bike logically belongs to Tanish in this movie because the legal ownership is with him. The same bike is bought by Nani in chor bazaar. All it takes is a police complaint from Tanish in order to get rid of Nani. This basic point is ignored while writing story/screenplay for the second half.

Coming to technical aspects, Hema Chandra’s music is good and RR is also done well. Dialogues and direction is also up to the requirement. ‘Dhanchave menaththa koothura…’ remix on Nani and Aksha is canned in a perfect masala way.

The fights composed for this movie lack completeness and most of them are abrupt (for example we don't know what happens to the bike on railtrack in climax). Editing is average. Dialogues in the movie are partly good. The sentimental dialogues are well written.

First half is satisfactory. The writer/director falters in screenplay section in the second half. Ideally the movie is over the moment these two guys come to an understanding.
Navadeep’s appearance in guest role in climax is a bit interesting.

Bottomline:

For people who have seen uber stylish bike ads on TV, the chases and races shown in the film pretty mediocre. Ramesh Varma did a better job compared to his last film, but it is not good enough! On a whole, the movie has followed the formula of a youthful masala entertainer.

Oy! on July 3rd

Siddharth is currently shooting a song for Oy! film at Chennai. Oy! is likely to release on 3rd July though the previously announced date was 25th June. The shoot will be completed by Tuesday. Postproduction work is currently going on. Oy! music which was launched recently topped the chartbuster. Baby Shamili (Anjali fame) is making her debut as heroine with this movie. Anand Ranga is the director. DVV Danayya produces Oy!

Magadheera music launch on 28th June

Music of Magadheera is going to be launched on 28 June with maximum number of units in the music racks. There are lots of expectations on this movie as it is directed by SS Rajamouli. This extravagant movie is touted as the most expensive film ever made in Telugu film industry. It is said that the budget is whopping 35 crores !! Kajal Agarwal plays female lead.

‘Aakasamantha’ Sardarji Joginder Singh in Kamal’s ‘Eenadu’!!

It is known news that the film ‘Akasamantha’ has turned out to be a great hit at the box office. While many give the credit to the highly talented Prakashraj and his action, it is also said that another face had also contributed his bit. His name is Ganesh Venkatraman, the noted model.
Ganesh did the role of Sardarjee in the film and he is the leading man for the petite beauty Trisha. Now, he has gone into a complete contrast as there is news that he has been roped in for the film ‘Eenadu’, the remake of the Bollywood hit ‘A Wednesday’ which has Kamal Haasan and Venkatesh in the lead roles.
Ganesh is said to be taking up the role that was enacted by Jimmy Shergill in the Bollywood version. This is of an Encounter specialist and Ganesh from his end is said to be all thrilled with the role and the project. This will be a challenge for him given the contrast in the role.

To remind you, Ganesh was one of the NRI guys Rochak in the film ‘The Angrez’.

Varun Sandesh remuneration 1 Cr!!!

The lean and slender hero Varun Sandesh is the perfect example for shooting to fame overnight. This was due to the blockbuster debut movie of his ‘Happy Days’. Later, he scored another hit with his ‘Kotha Bangaru Lokam’ and right now, he is aiming for a hat trick with his third film ‘Evaraina Eppudaina’.
It is now being said that after ‘Evaraina Eppudaina’ and director Srikanth Addala’s new film, Varun is looking at hiking his price and it may go beyond Rs 1 crore. It seems as of now, he is getting Rs 75 lakhs and for the film with Dil Raju ‘Marocharitra’ he is getting about Rs 50 lakhs, on bargaining.
Given his huge appeal among the girls and the college going guys, Varun has surely made a mark but then industry sources say that it is too early for him to get into the Rs 1 crore league. Also, it could depend on the outcome of ‘Evaraina Eppudaina’ for him to determine about the exact price.

Dil Raju Pumping 'Airs' In Young Hero's Head

The wise men say that success is always to be felt in the heart and not in the head but then there are times when even a budding hero tends to walk three feet in air out of sheer ego. However, the cause for that sometimes tends to be people around him too.
This time, we are talking about the lean and lanky Varun Sandesh and the man with the golden hand Dil Raju. Industry sources say that Dil Raju has been pumping ego by giving continuous pat to Varun Sandesh, he has marketed the blockbuster movie Happy Days, and he also produced Kothabangaru Lokam.
And now, there is news that he took the Nizam rights of the new movie ‘Evaraina Eppudaina’. Varun himself bought the USA rights of ‘Evaraina Eppudaina’. While this could be a good business decision, it is said that Varun is showing starry airs it seems. Dil Raju is known for his shrewd approach and discipline so it is about time he instills that in Varun, say sources.

‘Asta Chemma’ Nani Injured In Road Accident

Nani is the hero who debuted and shot up to fame with the film Asta Chemma is now on silver screen freshly with his Ride. He met with an accident on Nalgonda Highway today as a Lorry hit his car hard. Despite the car damaged, Nani escaped the peril miraculously with minor bruises. Nani is now getting huge offers followed by positive talk for Ride and he is the turning of emerging as a mass entertaining actor.

Screen Talk: Singer Suneetha @ Rs 18 Lakh

She has been known as the most sensuous singer in the Telugu circuit and not only that, she has one of the most appealing looks that are good enough to make her a heroine too. She is none other than Suneetha and right now, she seems to be minting a fortune with her talent.
It is said that Suneetha charges per episode an amount of Rs 30000 and she is anchoring 2 episodes per day so one can understand the mathematics of her income by now. That’s around 18 lakh per month.!!! However, many say that Suneetha is worth every penny and she has a strong following not only for her voice but also for her looks.
Not only that, Suneetha is big time into providing dubbing for the lead heroines and so we are yet to get that into account. At this rate, one can imagine how talent is recognized and rewarded in our Tollywood and tele-circuit. Well, she is also busy with earning through lending voices for dubbing in films

99 hindi movie review

Movie: 99

My rating: 3.25/5

Punchline: what’s up…!!! Soch mat dubara

Banner: People Pictures

Genre: Comedy/Crime/Thriller

Cast: Kunal Khemu, Soha Ali Khan, Boman Irani, Cyrus Broacha, Simone Singh, Mahesh Manjrekar, Vinod Khanna & Amit Mistry

Music: Ashu, Roshan Machado, Shamir Tandon & Mahesh Shankar

Cinematography: Rajeev Ravi & Prakash Kutty

Art: Pradip Redij

Story - screenplay: Raj Nidimoru, Krishna DK & Sita Menon

Directed by: Raj Nidimoru, Krishna DK

Producer: Anupam Mittal & Aditya Shastri
Release date: 15 May 2009

Plot:

The story is set in the backdrop of 1999/2000 in Mumbai. Sachin (Kunal Khemu) and Zaramud (Cyrus Broacha) are thick buddies who do illegal duplication of SIM cards for a living. AGM (Mahesh Manjrekar) is a cricket bookie. Sachin and Zaramud are forced to work under AGM because they owe tons of money to him. Rahul (Boman Irani) is a gambler who loves to bet on cricket and play poker in illegal clubs at Delhi. AGM summons Sachin and Zaramud to recover the betting money from Rahul. In a strange circumstance, Sachin and Zaramud are forced to join hands with Rahul to save their neck from AGM. The rest of the story is all about how these three people play the game!

Actors:

Kunal Khemu has improved in this film in terms of histrionics and looks. A different hair-do did the trick with his looks. He is excellent. Cyrus Broacha is at ease and provided comic relief. Boman Irani is simply superb. He epitomizes typical mentality of a gambler who is very good at heart, but has a strong weakness for gambling. Mahesh Manjrekar is extremely impressive as the bookie. Soha Ali Khan is adequate as partner in crime. Amit Mistry is amazing as the smalltime kingpin with ‘dimple’ character is really worthy and evokes laughter. Vinod Khana is perfect.

Technical departments: Story - screenplay - direction:

The telugu duo Raj, DK and Sita Menon came up with an authentic storyline by inserting references to the events occurred in 1999/2000. The ongoing mobile phone revolution and eruption of betting scandals are well incorporated. The direction of the film is neat. Screenplay is pretty good. Hooking the initial accident to join three major characters, using of Rahul’s bag and ability of Rahul to read signs/people are well used in writing an interesting screenplay. On the flip side, the relationship between Kunal and Soha Ali is not properly exploited. The runtime of the movie is lengthy for a story like this as the main story starts only in the second half. I liked the following things in the movie –
1. Title cards: The way titles cards are made in this movie is highly innovative.
2. The scene in which Kunal slaps Amit Mistry. This is best scene of the movie. The character of Dimple adds lot of fun.
3. Cell phone: Kunal and Zaramud believes that using cell phone will affect your brain, heart and other parts. Boman flaunts the cell phone used in Matrix film. The discussions about the snake game also reminds us of the days when cellular market was penetrating in India.
4. Boman Irani character: His character is full of surprises and his ability to read signs is very good. The way he tried to appease his wife by saying ‘jaan’ is also good.
5. The final 20 minutes of the movie after the last cricket match is shown.

Other technical departments:

Cinematography of the film is warm and realistic. Music is nice and peppy and reminds us a little of retro music like ones they use in Quentin Torantino movies. All the songs are worth listening. Cheers to the trio. Dialogues are witty. Editing is fine. Art directions deserve special mention for capturing the late 90’s.

Analysis:

Telugu directors duo Raj – DK started off their journey with a nice English film titled ‘Flavors’. Their second outing is this Bollywood flick ‘99’. Though it is a nice comedy thriller, it is an off-beat movie for the regular film lovers who enjoy the commercial cinemas in Bollywood. 99 is a hatke movie made on an interesting premise of cricket betting. It is a different movie and it will take time to sink in. The things that work against the movie are the runtime and the bonding between Kunal Khemu and Soha Ali Khan. If you want to see a different yet entertaining movie, 99 is the one for you!

Comedian giving Shock!!

Comedian Sunil is shedding weight for his next venture as hero titled ‘Maryada Ramanna’ in the direction of S S Rajamouli. The difference in his physic is clearly observed from the day of launch of the movie and now. Many are saying that this will really pay for him in the form of success. We have seen him giving counters on his colour himself. It is heard that he is undergoing improvement therapy for his colour. So, now we’ll see light and white Sunil..!!

Oy! movie on 25 June

Siddharth’s latest movie Oy! is going to release on 25 June. Music composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja which was released recently has topped the charts and creating waves especially the title song. Anand Ranga makes his debut as director. Danayya produces this movie. The unit has recently gone to Australia to shoot a couple of songs. The last song will be canned in Chennai in a couple of days. Post production work is going on at a brisk pace.

Allari Ravi’s Amaravathi

Allari Ravi’s next movie is going to be a thriller and Amaravathi is the title under consideration. This film will be produced by Bhavya Creations that delivered a hit flick Souryam with Gopichand in the last year. Allari Ravi is currently in USA and the movie shooting will start as soon as he returns to Hyderabad. This film will sport all new faces. With two back-to-back hits like Anasuya and Nachavule from the stable of Ravi Babu, there will be lots of craze for Amaravathi.

Krish latest movie Vedam with Allu Arjun, Manoj Manchu launched at Cinemax

Krish, who debuted with blockbuster ‘Gamyam’ is all set to hold the megaphone for his next venture ‘Vedam’. Vedam was launched at Cinemax today morning starring stylish star Allu Arjun, Manoj Manchu and Anushka in the main leads. K Raghavendra Rao sounded the clapboard and K Raghavendra Rao switched on the camera. Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni produce this movie
Arka Media Works banner.

Initially planned with new faces – Krish

Krish said, “Nobody believed me when I said i am doing a multistarrer in Telugu. I was preparing script for Venkatesh’s Krishnam Vande Jagadguram and there was some delay in sealing on it. I took permission from Venkatesh to do another film in the mean time. Initially i planned to make this movie with new faces. Allu Arjun has been showing interest for a while to work with me and when narrated the script, Allu Arjun came forward to do a role of slum star and it increased my levels of confidence and I could able to rope in other stars. Manoj Manchu is doing the role of a rock star. Mohan Babu also liked the story. Doing a multistarrer is not a reality in Telugu films and I would like to thank Allu Arjun and Manoj Manchu for accepting this project. There will be five important characters in this movie played by Allu Arjun, Manoj Manchu, Anushka and a old person. Anushka is doing a bold role. The shoot will be complete by December 2009.”

Vedam is about five stories – Allu Arjun

Allu Arjun said, “People say that story is the hero for any movie. But for Vedam, director Krish is going to be the main hero. I selected a particular character after listening to the script. Manoj Manchu and Anuksha are also doing other important characters. I feel that you need two hands to clap. That is why we are putting our egos aside and doing this movie. There will be five interwoven stories in the movie and each story belongs to one of the 5 main characters. Bollywood Manoj Bajpai is doing another important character. An old man is doing the 5th character. The old character will steal the show. My uncle Chiranjeevi patted my back when i told him that i am doing a multistarrer. There is positive vibe among the team about this movie and i am confident about the success of this movie. And success of this movie will create a new trend of multistarrers.”

I was supposed to act in Gamyam – Manoj Manchu

Manoj said, “I was supposed to act in Gamyam and it didn’t happen. I told Krish that i wouldn’t mind doing a villain role as well if he casts me. Vedam is a commercial film with international quality. I want to prove myself as an actor and I am not doing this movie for stardom. Allu Arjun met me one day and asked me if I met Krish. When I said no, he asked me to immediately meet him. I am hugely impressed by the story. I am happy to work with Bunny.”

'Boni' movie review

Film: Boni

Rating: 2.25/5

Cast: Sumanth, Krithi, Trinetrudu, Tanikella, Jayaprakash Reddy, Ahuti Prasad, Chandramohan, Babloo, Velu, Satyaprakash, Sudha, Surekha Vani etc
Cinematography: Andrew

Director: Raj Pippala

Producer & Music: Ramana Gogula

Release date: 12 June 2009

Boni is one of the movies which has kept the folks exciting with its different title and publicity in the last two weeks. It has been a while since Sumanth has not been able to score a hit in his career but this time, he has come up with another rather interesting title. Yet again in a mass entertainer, let us see if Sumanth scored success in this or not.

Story:

D D (Sumanth) and Chinna (Trinethrudu) are childhood friends and they grow up to be recovery agents and goons.
They have a long ambition of setting up a Pulihora Centre and for this they need money. So they join the mafia don Giri (Tanikella) and he gets them to Das (Jayaprakash Reddy) another evil don. Meanwhile, a sequence of events happens and DD kidnaps Pragati (Krithi), daughter of Minister Prasad Reddy (Ahuti Prasad).
However, Pragathi is happy she got kidnapped but there is a small twist which she and DD realize at a later stage. What is that twist and how DD comes out of it forms the rest of the story? Why Pragathi is happy for kidnap? That forms rest of the story.

Performances:

Sumanth has come up with a mild performance and though his is a mass role, he still has a classy look which is a contradiction. He lacked in those energies that a mass hero should possess. Somehow he proved once again that his body language suits only for class roles in films like ‘Godavari’ but not mass ones.
Krithi looked gorgeous and at ease in front of the camera, she has traces of Jayaprada in few shots. Trinetrudu provided few lighter moments, Tanikella was effective, Jayaprakash Reddy was regular, Ahuti Prasad had a brief presence. Chandramohan was alright, Babloo was just average, the others did not have much to contribute. Both Tanikella and Chandramohan got due footage in this movie.
The dialogues were regular, script was written but there was no depth, screenplay was adequate, both background score and two songs were credible and worth listening, cinematography is above average, and the art and costume department did a good job. Keeping the artistic bent and creativity in titles and picturing songs, entire movie proves to be heavy for audiences with weak narration.

Analysis:

The film takes off on a rather mild note and it must be said that the chemistry was missing on the screen. The technical values are very high but the content and the narration needed lot of energy. Sumanth needs to focus more on doing classy and urban roles since his attempts to get into the mass category are not up to satisfaction.
While the first half goes about in a regular fashion, there are few sequences in the second half that keeps the audience busy but yet again, the feeling was missing on the screen. The film is more for the multiplex audience though it has a mass backdrop and the makers should have worked more on the comedy. The trigger of romance is something that is missing a great deal although Harshavardhan could attempt well. The film might pass off as a technically well made and some fairly decent songs but as such success would be difficult for this.

Young Hero Running Behind KBL Heroine

The super hit movie ‘Kotha Bangaru Lokam’ brought to Tollywood a new beauty in the form of the giggly and innocent Swetha Basu Prasad. Currently, this pretty girl is seen in new movie ‘Ride’. She paired up with the new hero Tanish who scored a debut hit with the film ‘Nachchavule’.
Now, the film nagar has been buzzing with a grapevine that Tanish has been smitten by the charms of Swetha and has been giving her extra attention. Unit sources are saying that though the movie released, Tanish is still said to be making it a point to keep in touch with Swetha.
However, sources close to both quash this as baseless rumors and there are those who say that all this is a mere publicity stunt. Well, the film industry is one place where many things happen and no one denies or confirms those happenings. So only time will tell what the real story is. Stay tuned folks..!!

Sanjana In Love With Prabhas?

Buzz says that Sanjana is hit by love heat and is frequently meeting Prabhas. She also lauds him in big way whenever she is with her friends it seems. Earlier she also said that she was educated in big way with tips in acting by Prabhas.
Prabhas is now in top list of most popular actors demanding huge mass following. His latest film Billa also did well at box office with music and other factors like Anushka and Namitha. We have to see if Sanjana's signals will be received by Prabhas.

'Mallanna' Audio Giving Tough Competition!!

The theory in the film industry is that if the audio gets a good response then the film eventually becomes a hit, though there are a few exceptions. So, the movie makers tend to put a lot of attention on the music and songs. Now, one film has been rocking the chartbusters with its audio.
We are talking about the long awaited ‘Mallanna’ that has been in the pipeline for two years and now the time has come for it to hit the screens. Recently, the audio release happened and it is heard that the album has been giving a tough competition to the other straight Telugu movies.
The tunes have been composed by the highly talented Devisri Prasad and it is said that right now ‘Mallanna’ is vying for the top slot with albums like ‘Kick’ ,‘Billa’, ‘Sneha Geetam’ and others. Now that the audio has done its job, let us wait and see how the movie does its part.

Run time of 'Magadheera' 4 hours???!!!

According to reliable sources the answer seems to be YES. ‘Magadheera’ has been the most awaited movie of this season and given the names associated with it, the film sure looks exciting. Incidentally, the film was due for release in the month of April but sources reveal that it will be hitting the screens in the month of July now. Meanwhile, there is news that the film’s length has reached a marathon 4 hours and now the tough task master S S Rajamouli who is the director, is said to be sitting to cutting it to two and a half hours. Both S S and the editor are currently in that work which would take quite a while. However, there is also news that many have been advising S S to store the edited versions and use them to look at a sequel after 5-6 months once the original is released. With so many efforts and investment that has gone in, this sure looks good enough for a sequel, if true. What say Rajamouli???
