Subramanyapuram is a film about a group of friends who don't care for anything. They become problematic in their place. Now a charming girls enters between them and what happens then is the story.

Chiranjeevi party is Labor Party

As reported by a media source, the name of Chiranjeevi's party will be 'Labor Party' and the theme song of the party would be 'Nenu Saitam' from Tagore. The song even got a national award for the content.
Talking to the media today, Allu Aravind said that fans will have to wait for couple of more months and above information is confirmed by him. 'We all waited patiently for so long.. we should wait for couple of more months', said Allu Aravind. There were some pamphlets that read - Leader is Chiranjeevi, Radhasaradhi is Nagendra Babu, Vyuhakartha (strategist) is Allu Aravind, Dalapati is Pawan Kalyan and chief advisor is Mitra.

Harirama Jogayya is one politician, present Congress MP, who is being very vocal about Chiranjeevi's entry. He even publicly announced that if Chiranjeevi established a party, he would join it. Talking to a news media today, Jogayya announced that Chiranjeevi is blessed. 'Even during NTR time, the public did not go to NTR and requested him to start the party. He started the party and people voted for him. Chiranjeevi is in much better situation. He is being requested by the public and fans to come in to the politics and do good to them. He is blessed for that. What else is needed for someone to step into politics'. This he said in response to a question on if Chiranjeevi will have any hurdles.

When asked to compare on Balakrishna's entry, Harirama Jogayya said that there is lot of difference in the approach of the two. 'Chiranjeevi is willing to start his own party. So it is his own party, own mandate. Whereas Balakrishna is taking TDP's side. He is not the CM candidate. He is only canvassing for the CM candidate. So even if he wanted to do good for the society, it will not have the same impact. The comparison would have been different if Balakrishna also wanted to start his own party'.

Jogayya even confirmed that the public seemed to be very vexed with both YSR and CBN and that would be an added bonus if Chiranjeevi setup a party. There are good chances that Chiru party might tie up with Loksatta and left parties. Lok satta party and the leader Jayaprakash Narayana has a clean image and one of the most respectable politicians. Also, it is heard that a large number of leaders from both TDP and Congress would join Chiru's party. If this happens, it will be almost a political revolution in the state.

As per the media sources, party office will be launched on 15th of August and Chiru will start his tour in August. The party will have a mandate of social justice as the main criteria. Rural development and drinking water is any another key point in his mandate. Even there would be a department of anti-corruption in the Government.

All the TV channels have one job today - About Chiru party, running bulletins, gathering feedback etc. Overall, the feedback is very strong and positive. People are expecting him to clean up the mess in the politics and do good to the state. Even though Chiranjeevi himself did not say any word on it, Allu Aravind confirming the strategy excited all the fans and celebrations are taking place through out the state

Shriya is hot and getting hotter!

With an appearance in Mission Istanbul, Shriya Saran is finally being recognized in Bollywood for her flexibility and hard work over the last few years. Her career is now expected to move into the Red Hot Zone.

She started her career with a bang in Santosham in 2002, opposite Nagarjuna. She received her first award in 2005 when she won the Filmfare Best Telugu Actress Award for Chatrapathi. She also won the Best Hindi Female Debut Award for her role as Aaliya in Awaarapan in 2007. However, she really hit the big time with last year's groundbreaking movie Sivaji. Her star status was confirmed when the Hindu Makkal Katchi morality squad reported her to the police for wearing a clinging outfit at the celebrations for the movie.

But Shriya is very flexible and also works well in the English language - she's currently in two movies: What's Cooking and The Other End of the Line, which costars Jesse Metcalfe with whom, rumour has it, she is romantically linked.

How does Shriya feel about acting? "I love to do challenging and performance-oriented films if the offers come my way. I was lucky enough to get such roles quite early. I have proved that I can carry off well both in glamorous and performance-oriented films."

Audiences worldwide can expect to see Shriya featuring in Hindi, Telegu and English films coming their way this year.

Dasavatharam release postponed to june 13th

Kamal Hassan's much-awaited Dasavataram is officially hitting the screens worldwide with over 1000 prints on June 13th. Previously the flick was scheduled to release on June 6th, which date later got shifted to June 12th. The latest shift by a day is due to delay in the subtitle works meant for languages other than Telugu, Tamil and Hindi, according an official statement. Also a big relief prevails among the film unit with the Chennai court quashing a petition filed by a religious group against the film.

NTR looks good and handsome

NTRjr was bubbly hero in his Rakhi, but he reduced his weight by 20 kgs by the time of Yamadonga- that story was on request of director SS Rajamouli.

The lean and thin NTR did well in Yamadonga but at the same time his lady fans were disappointed with his thin figure and openly asked him to put on some weight.

But he continued with same weight for Kantri too.

While participating promotional activities of Kantri, NTR's lady fans requested him to put on some weight and as for the their request NTR is put on 5 Kgs of weight now.

Now he looks good and handsome and his fans must be happy with present figure of NTR. His new add on weight is seen on his face when he came to NTR's tomb on 28th May for offering his tributes to his grand father.

Dashavatharam to be screened for George Bush.

With the court clearing the Public Litigation cases against Dasavatharam, the crew is gearing up for a second-week June release. However, another mammoth task in front of the producers is to screen the movie to the US president George Bush. As per latest reports, talks are on with the help of the producers’ US counterparts with Whitehouse officials to arrange for the screening.

It is learnt that since Bush, as the US president, is heading the efforts to make the world’s nations sign the Nuclear Non-proliferation treaty, it would only be apt to screen him the movie that urges that nuclear energy should only be used for constructive purposes and not to cause destruction.

Genelia is real innocent girl

While addressing the media, Genelia said, “People ask me why I continue to do the role of an innocent girl. I feel such roles fit me and I enjoy essaying such characters as it is very close to how I am in my real life”.

To a poser on whether she aims to win awards for her performance, she humbly declines the same and states that she is yet to rise up to that level and at the moment not too keen to feature in such films.

She was also quick to add that it is the acceptance of the people which is very vital and she wishes to concentrate on that segment alone for the time being.

I’m closest to Reema and Shriya says Trisha

Her innocent smile, natural charm and trendy style has worked magic with the audiences for the last seven years. "My life’s just beginning.

When I started out, I said that for the first few years I’d have fun here. But now, I’m seriously considering acting as a profession. I aim to be successful, famous and a good actor and I’m pretty charged about it," she says.

Trisha means success in Russian; she is probably the only heroine after Sridevi to be successful in Tamil and Telugu. She has withstood pressures, controversies, competition and emerged on top due to her hard work and commitment. This year’s two big summer releases in Tamil (Kuruvi) and Telugu (Bujjigadu - Made in Chennai) featured her in the female lead. In the ad world, she is the hottest model and is brand ambassador for half a dozen consumer items.

Trisha, or Trash as she is affectionately known among her friends, is a big-budget survivor in an industry where top heroines burn out in two years. She came into films after being crowned Miss Chennai and made her debut as heroine in Lesa Lesa. This was followed by a string of superhits like Saamy, Ghillli, Tirupachi and Unakkum Enakkum. She tasted bigger success in Telugu with blockbusters like Nuvvostante Nenoddantana, Varsham, Athudu, Aadavari Matalaku Andhalu Verule, Krishna and other films. Till date, the lass has acted in 28 films- 18 in Tamil and 10 in Telugu.

Her winsome smile, sharp features and an hour-glass figure are her strengths that have taken her to the masses. Trisha is probably the only Tamil girl who has made it big in the last 10 years in an industry full of North Indian and Malayalee girls. Quiz her about her success and survival instincts, the actress shoots back- "It’s a lot of hard work and a bit of luck; one has to be at the right place at the right time." Her hit ratio in Telugu seems far better (75 percent) than in Tamil (50 percent). "I cannot understand why my Telugu films do better than my Tamil ones. It may be because the roles I do in Telugu gave me a lot more scope to perform and they never wasted me. I think Tamil cinema is too hero-centric," says the actress who has won two Filmfare and two State awards for her roles in Telugu films.

She is one actress who loves to experiment with her looks and goes for styling at regular intervals. When she experiments, it generates a lot of attention. When she had a Nemo fish tattoo done just below her left shoulder, it was news. And now, it is the Swarovski crystal on her teeth that is making news.
Trisha says that she has no regrets about doing some films which turned out to be bad at the end. "I don’t regret any movie that I have done. I sign a film more on my gut feeling and sometimes at the end of it, they may not work," she adds.

Trisha is currently working on director Gautham Menon’s Chennayil Oru Mazhaikalam with a bunch of newcomers. She enthuses: "To me, the main attraction of the film was working with Gautham". She informs us that her role in the film is something that she has never attempted before. She is also working on a film titled Sarwam directed by Vishnuvardhan of Billa fame and a film with Radhamohan (titled Abhiyum Nanum) of Mozhi fame.

Controversies have chased this actress at regular intervals. If it was the MMS clips a few years ago, it was her road rage on the ECR and frequent partying that were talked about. But of late, the actress has been keeping an extremely low profile and keeping away from the press. "Controversies are part of stardom but the press tries to blow it out of proportion. At the end of the day, it is my work in films that should speak," she says. About partying, she asks, "What’s wrong in partying? I am a young and independent girl and have never denied that I have a lot of friends with whom I am comfortable. After a hard day’s shoot, I need to unwind and be relaxed. I don’t see anything wrong in it and it’s my private life".

Quiz her about competition and she frowns: "It’s a rat race out here. A new girl comes to the industry every other day. The moment you trip, there’s someone ready to take your place and there’s no room for error". About her recent fall out with Nayanthara, the actress says that she has no issues with anyone. "She has never been my close buddy though we hung around together. I’m closest to Reema and Shriya as we bond well. But, we don’t discuss work. After all, it takes two to tango!"

• Starring: Balakrishna, Sneha, Tabu and others
• Director: K Raghavendra Rao
• Music Director: M M Keeravani
• Release date: 30-5-2008

Story:

Kundarika ( Balakrishna ) is a follower of Lord Krishna but for the wrong reasons. He does all the mischievous things that Lord Krishna did in his reign. Once when his family members ask him to marry he leaves his village and runs away. After his family members perform a yagnam he comes back to his village. In the neighboring village Lakshmi ( Sneha ) is a big devotee of Lord Krishna. One night Lord Krishna appears in her dreams and asks her to marry Kundarika. So Lakshmi's father approaches Bala Krishna but he refuses. Later after some persuasion from Lakshmim, Kundarika accepts the marriage.

In the mean time Amrutha ( Tabu ) a dancer comes to their village. Kundarika is mesmerized by her beauty and goes into a relationship with her. He offers all the gold in the house to her. But after the marriage he stops visiting Amrutha. Knowing this Amrutha's mother calls Kundarika for a meal and serves poison to him and grabs all his wealth. The rest of the movie is how Kundarika turns to Lord Krishna's devotee and get backs to his family....


Highlights

Nandamuri Balakrishna's action in the movie is the top notch. He managed the dual roles of Lord Krishna and Kundarika very well. He adjusted from the woman's man role to devotee role very well. Balakrishna as Lord Krishna made the audience think of Sr.NTR .

Sneha's acting has done a good job as wife of Balakrishna. K.Vishwanth as always stealed the show with his acting. Mohan Babu's guest role is brief but brilliant. Raghavendra Rao's direction showed in the songs. Also he succeeded in showing the movie differently when compared to his previous movies.

The taking second half of the film is simply awesome. Second Half of the movie dominates. Kiravani's tunes added to the movie.


Sidelights:

L.B. Sri Ram as Narada did not fit the role. Bharavi's story is not as effective as his previous ones. The graphic work in the movie is too weak to handle. The story is the first half seems a little bit dragged. There is no much comedy in the movie. The comedy scenes involving Sunil, Ali and Dharmavaram Subramanyam pertained to a few giggles in the audience. Raghavendra Rao's selection of character artists for Lord Krishna's wives did not please the audience.

Bala Krishna Fans will be more than satisfied.

Sania mirza in Naga chaithanya debut film

It is long known that Nagarjuna’s son, Naga Chaitanya, will make his debut in a film directed by Puri Jagannath, the specialist in launching star sons. At present, the young scion of the Akkineni family is taking voice modulation lessons and dancing, martial arts and acting lessons in preparation for his debut.

According to sources close to Puri Jagannath, who is flying high on Bujjigadu’s success, Sania Mirza will do a five-minute cameo appearance opposite the young debutant.

How Shriya growed from tollywood to hollywood?

Many of us fail to recognize the steady growth of actress Shriya's career. Her career path has risen phenomenally and her acting in a Rajinikanth movie can be termed as the pinnacle of her career. The svelte actress has come a long way in Tollywood since her debut, starring opposite Nagarjuna in Santosham, which was a smash hit. She has done leading roles in many big budget films and has been a prolific and much-sought-after heroine in Telugu after that.

She also made sporadic appearances in Hindi. She became a national figure after she acted with Rajinikanth in Sivaji. Now, she has become so busy that she rarely finds time to rest. She has now bagged offers to work in Hindi films such as Ek and Mission Istanbul. In Tamil, she is acting with Vikram in Kanthaswamy. In Telugu, it is being made as Mallanna at the same time.

She is also working in two English movies, What is cooking? and The other end of the line (produced by Ashok Amritraj). Many actresses feared losing prime roles when they were approached for a guest role alongside Vadivelu in Indralogathil Na Azhagappan . But Shriya accepted it immediately. This not only shows her self-confidence but also her admiration for comedy actors. It is commendable for a heroine to gain this quantum of fame in such a short time. Galatta.com wishes her many more top roles opposite top heroes in many more films!

Mahesh babu fans unhappy

'Prince' Mahesh Babu is one man who has been ruling the roost with his line of successive hits, apart from the film 'Sainikudu' most of his other films rained money at the box office and one can never forget the long lasting impact that 'Pokiri' created not just on the audience but also on the industry as a whole. But there is a flip side to his story.

Mahesh prefers to do only one film a year and the last film that everyone got to see was 'Athidhi' which was a painful movie but made massive collections at the box office. From then on, there is absolutely no news as to when Mahesh's next film will go onto floors.

The latest that we have on him is that his upcoming film has been tentatively titled 'Varudu' which will be directed by Trivikram Srinivas. This has been keeping Mahesh fans in the dark and they are said to be going restless over when the film will hit the floors and when they can see him back on screen. Sadly for them, there is no release for Mahesh this year. Even though the shooting of 'Varudu' starts in June it certainly takes more than 6 months to release.

chiranjeevi party name among these 3?

In all likelihood, Mana Desam will be the name of film star Chiranjeevi’s much-awaited political party. If Chiru camp insiders are to be believed, the mega star will register his party’s name with the Election Commission in about 10 days.

Chiranjeevi had a meeting with his close confidant Allu Aravind, political advisor Mitra and ophthalmologist Prasad Reddy on Tuesday night.

During the two-hour-long meeting, they are understood to have discussed three names - Jai Chiranjeeva, Eye Party and Mana Desam. The actor preferred Eye Party but divided opinion and fear that it may not go down well with the masses persuaded him to zero in on Mana Desam (our country). The others too felt Mana Desam would be apt.

Sources said unless there were last minute changes, Chiranjeevi's political outfit will be Mana Desam. Finally, it appears the D-Day is not far off.

Simran TV serial in Maa TV

Excerpts from an interview.

Q Why television?
An entry in television is never a full stop for films.
TV has always excited me as it plays an important role in every household. I am even working in films simultaneously.

Q About the soap...
Simran Marapu Rani Kathalu, which will be telecast on MAA TV, is not a daily soap and that’s exactly what excited me. It chronicles various small stories filled with humour, emotions and drama. I will play the lead character in all these stories — each role is different from the other. Each story will end in a month.

Q On juggling between family, films, TV...
I make a timetable and adhere to it daily. I am lucky to get all support from my husband Deepak and son Odo, and this keeps me going.

Q The television industry is said to lure film artists with moolah...
(Smiling) Oh! I did not know that.

Q Telugu TV industry versus Tollywood?
I feel the shoots, schedules and the takes are almost the same in both; it’s only the scale which makes it look larger or smaller.

Q Future projects?
Along with this soap, I am doing three Tamil films I also have a couple of game shows lined up. With so much on my plate, I think Tollywood will have to wait.

Inside sources say that the film has come out in wonderful fashion and it would stand as best hit in 2008 basing on several factors.

First half appeals for mass audiences with full dose of romance and glamour show by Tabu and other heroines. Second half runs on parental sentiment, which proves to be the best part of the film. Balakrishna's performance is being extolled in big way by inside sources.

In fact Balayya's passion is to act in mythological films. The best performance comes out when something is worked with passion.

Jr Aishwarya Affected Badly With Sambar

Sneha Ullal turned many heads with her good looks and a svelte figure. She was so gorgeous that she was named as Jr. Aisjwarya Rai.

She also has some uncanny resemblance to Aishwarya. She bagged some roles in films based purely on her looks.

Sneha is now acting in the Telugu film 'Ullasamga… Uthsahanga'. She is now spending a lot of time in the south in connection with her film assignments. She loves food and has taken a big liking for south Indian delicacies like sambar. She is gorging on oodles and oodles of sambar with rice, dosa, vada etc. everyday.

The result is that she has put on a lot of weight in a very short span of time. She now looks plump and a bit too heavy to play heroine roles in films.

Shankar imports Computers from USA for Robot

The Shankar – Rajinikanth magnum opus, Robot, has begun groundwork work and research. With director Shankar importing computers from America that will be employed for the special effects in the movie, Robot is more or less underway

Keeping in mind the Internet-sneaking-of-Sivaji-images that remained unsolved despite the tight security arrangements in place during Sivaji’s shoots, Shankar has left no stones unturned this time around to make sure that the computers are tucked away secretively in a Gemini lab. Guarded by security personnel, access to the hall is restricted to the very few kingpins associated with the movie.

Rajinikanth is busy with his extended cameo for Kucheludu and an announcement about Robot’s commencement is expected to be out soon.

Brahmanandam Contests From Attili in 2009

He openly extended his support to Chiranjeevi's proposed political outfit a few weeks ago. This political desire crept into his mind, when he was looked down by a couple of fellow comedians on sets. Among the two one was a legislator and the other was a minister.

They were none other than Kota Srinivasarao and Babu Mohan. Brahamanandam is now waiting for his turn to hit back.

Balakrishna as police officer in 'Sadhu'

Nandamuri Balakrishna's latest film 'Pandurangadu' is all set for release on May 30. Even as the film is about to hit the screen, Balakrishna started playing hero in a film under the direction of Gunasekhar, which is being produced by MS Raju on the banner of Sumanth Arts.

'Sadhu' is the title under consideration for the movie.

Though the shooting of the film had begun long ago, the entire unit is maintaining a low-profile, in the wake of MS Raju's successive failures.

It is learnt that Balakrishna is playing the role of a powerful police officer in the movie on the lines of 'Rowdy Inspector'. The role would be further powerful than 'Lakshmi Narasimha', the director claims.

However, who are playing the female leads and it is still unclear as to who were the other artistes and technicians in the film.

Dasavatharam release date confirmed

Yes, all the fans of Kamal have a reason to rejoice. The much awaited magnum opus of Padmashri Kamal Hassan will be release worldwide on June 6th. The film is slated to be released initially in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi with 1000 prints.

Producer Oscar Ravichandran has confirmed the release date.

'Bujjigadu-Chiranjeevi Fan' Shifted To Rajnikanth fan

It was 'Bujjigadu-Chiranjeevi Fan' in initial script of the film. The film runs in the background of a village in West Godavari district. But Mohan Babu expressed his stern opposition towards that. He opposed that although not given a role in that. Puri Jagannatha and KS Rama Rao have faced the anger of Mohan Babu in this regard.

After reacting to Mohan Babu positively they agreed to him and offered him a role as well. Hence the title was changed to 'Bujjigadu-Made in Chennai' and replaced Chiranjeevi-subject with Rajni Kanth. The story backdrop also changed to Chennai from village in West Godavari.

Prabhas played the role of Rajni Kanth's fan in that. This is the hot rumor that is making rounds in Film Nagar today at the outset of the film's release.

Bikini girl Nayanatara is secular

Nayantara is now better referred to as 'bikini baby' in Tamilnadu ever since she acted in the film 'Billa' in that costume.

Although she has grown highly bold and practical in life, she hasn't left her devotion for God. She is secular in approach-goes to churches and also temples equally. She is an ardent devotee of the lord at Nellaippar Temple in Tirunelveli. She spent her time there before starting her new Tamil project.

Nayan regretted that she visited the temple after a long time and last time she visited that place when she debuted with Tamil film Ayya'.

'Pandurangadu' Decides the Fate of Tollywood

The Balakrishna starrer 'Pandurangadu' is being eagerly awaited by all Balakrishna fans as well as lovers of mythological films. Balayya is playing a dual role in the film and Sneha and Tabu are the main female leads.

The film's success is very crucial in more ways than one. The first is that Balakrishna is desperate to score a big hit. His last few films did not do well at the box office at all. The second and more important thing is for the industry as a whole. If Pandurangadu clicks, then it will open a new chapter in Tollywood in terms of mythological films, already with a success track of 'Annamayya' and 'Sree Ramadasu'.

Balakrishna is also keen to make mythological films like Seetaramakalyanam and Narthanashala.

Director VV Vinayak is also keen to make a mythological and is in touch with JK Bharavi for a suitable subject. We have to see how the film benefits Tollywood.

NTR to do a film with another young director.

Yes, NTR is going to do a film for this young director, he is none other than Lakshyam Sreenivas. Dil Raju is the producer. Manisharma will tune the music. The film is likely to be titled as Sree Ramanavami.

But this film will go on floors only after VV Vinayak’s film. Trisha will be paired opposite NTR for Vinayak’s film.

Bujjigadu review ( made in chennai )

Film	:	Bujjigadu Movie Review
Rating	:	2.5/5
Casting	:	Prabhas, Trisha, Mohan babu
Theatrical Release	:	May 22, 2008
Other Cast: Mohanbabu, Sanjana, Subbaraju, Ajay, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Ali, Suneel, MS Narayana, Ahuti Prasad, Brahmaji, Hema, Sudha and Others. Action: Vijayan. Art: Chinna. Cinematography: Shyam K. Naidu. Editing: MR Varma. Music: Sandeep Chowta. Story, Screenplay, Dialogues & Direction: Puri Jagannath. Producer: KS Rama Rao. Banner: Creative Commercials. Bujjigadu has promos that look like this could have the Puri stamp on it, typically with a crazy character as the protagonist, lots of dishum-dishum and entertaining humor and a love story in the crux. It would still have qualified for that were it not for the routine feel of the entire movie and the lacklustre second half. Story : Bujji runs away from home after his neighbor and love interest Chitti refuses to speak to him over a trivial fight; promising to speak after 12 years and then marry him. Years later, Bujji who grows up away from his family in Chennai returns to Vizag to find that Chittis family shifted base to Hyderabad. He gets stuck in a police case because of his friend Satti, a petty smuggler and gets a contract to kill in the jail. The target is Sivanna, whom his rival gang are trying to wipe out for the longest time. Bujjis in Hyderabad, searching for Chitti, who is also desperately trying to locate him. His attempt on Sivannas life is futile but he lands up in Sivannas house and his motives go for a toss. Story, Screenplay and Direction : Slowly, bad is becoming the new good even in Telugu cinema. The change is subtle, but it is there. People who kill, take contracts to kill, gangsters, anti-social elements are no longer the bad guys only. They can be good guys in the bad business. Shankar Goud of Dhee is one such character in recent times who clicked with the audiences. Pokiri of course is an undercover cop, so that doesnt count. Bujji and Sivanna, on the other hand, are actually speaking anti-social, but that seems not to be an issue-they are still the Heroes. That apart, the movie itself has some entertaining bits, where the actual love story is concerned. That story creates interest, the gang wars and the rival gang leader taking a liking to the killer hired to finish him off-that creates interest. The concepts by itself are interesting, but the narrative is unable to sustain that interest. The second half fizzles out slowly but surely, and the only thing that keeps the attention is that Chitti doesnt get to know Bujjis identity till the nth moment, because he introduces himself as Rajnikant. The whole Tamil angle is new, but it would work out well were the rest of the movie as strong as Prabhass Tamil. There is a fight in a poultry farm in the beginning where the actor gets to show off his new lean look. The rest of the action sequences (there are many) are routine, but the one where he tries to kill Sivanna is okay. Puri always works out the protagonists characters details very fervently, and tends to create quirky characters-thats his strength. Bujji has that, at least, and what with his calling everyone Darling and killing a guy with a single punch, he keeps you awake. The entire movie, unfortunately, doesnt try too hard to do that. Performance : Prabhas gets rid of his sleepy look and drops his droopy eyed style and adopts a whole new style funda to make Bujji convincing as a character. His new lean and mean look will get admirers and is a whole lot better than his bulked up frame in Munna. He plays Bujji well, and is spontaneous in the movie. Mohanbabu follows up on his Silllieeee Fellow act, and though for the first few scenes, he comes across as totally evil and totally fascinating for that (orders a strong cup of tea while killing people), the way Sivannas written, he turns from black to grey to off-white. So its not as thunderous as say, a consistent character like Yama, who simply has a change of heart in Yamadonga. Trisha is okay, and has a good chemistry with Prabhas. Sanjana has little to do except smile sweetly. Kota as Sivannas rival and Subbaraju and Ajay as his sons justify their roles. Suneel is okay, Alis comedy is a little vulgar. Music and Dance : The music is okay, with two songs that grow on you. The picturization of Talaiva and Love Me and Mumaits item number is like that of a music video. Prabhas has become more flexible and the choreography of the final duet is likable. Analysis : The movie starts off on a promising note, the protagonist is well written albiet bordering on the negative side and the music is not bad. But the narrative, especially in the second half does nothing to elevate the entertainment quotient of the movie and it turns into a routine flick that actually drags at the climax.
