'Happy Days' still sizzling on Telugu music charts
Hyderabad (IANS) Mickey Meyer's score for "Happy Days" continues to hold the interest of music lovers and the movie's title song is on top of the charts. The young music composer put his heart and soul into the album.
The top five Telugu songs are:
1. "Happy Days" - Film: "Happy Days". The title song has a nice symphonic feel. Mickey Meyer has scored a grand composition, which is popular with the younger generation.
2. "Satyam Emito" - Film: "Athidhi". The highlight of the song is the good picturisation. Shot near Hatta Dam in Dubai, the scene captures the rugged landscape well. No outdoor locale has looked so beautiful on the Telugu screen. The song is unconventional and emotionally charged sans dance steps.
3. "Vennelintha" - Film: "Thulasi". A slightly melodious track with a foot-tapping beat by Devisriprasad and sung by Venu and Sunitha is perhaps the only melodic number from the film.
4. "Layliley" - Film: "Nava Vasantham". S.A. Rajkumar has scored the music for the Telugu remake of the Tamil film "Punnagai Desam". Tippu has sung this song, which is basically a chorus composition that sounds pleasant to the ear.
5. "Ammi-Ammi" - Film: "Takkari". A foot-tapping song that makes the listener shake a leg. Music director Chakri and Sai Shivani have sung this number.
Chiranjeevi is welcome into politics
At a press conference here on Tuesday on the sidelines of second-day proceedings of the three-day District Convention of the party, he told reporters that he welcomed Chiranjeevi to start a new party and infuse new blood into politics that would address the real issues of people. “We will also think in terms of forming an alliance or working with them as a third alternative to the two failed parties was essential,” Mr. Narayana added.
The CPI’s association with the proposed party of Chiranjeevi would depend on the situation then and if their wavelength matched they might work together, he said and added that the party would not give up its `Bhooparatam’ at any cost.
“If landlords and the moneyed can be allotted assigned lands not bothering about the real poor, we will not keep quiet and our agitation will get intensified in the days to come. Our party State convention at Tirupathi from December 19 to 23 will mainly discuss the distribution of land to the poor,” he observed.
In case the Government failed to respond to the people’s demands and tried to evict the poor from the lands occupied by them with support of the CPI, its agitation would switch gears and go on a different plane, he said.
Audio Company Owner Becomes 'Silent Killer'
This news has come from Film Nagar Club sources. A PRO said, "Sridhar is good at heart and street smart at brain. He takes the audio rights of 'to be flopped' and 'not worthy' films as well. We all assumed to be an ignorant. But interestingly with his business tactics he made good money and also made the producers of those films recover some good amount. Many producers those tied up with him listening to his audio marketing strategies know about his talent. Sridhar is a 'silent killer'. He won the acceptance of many big heads in the industry. He is a poet too. Somehow I got confidence on him".
The other person sitting with him said, "It is the acceptance of general public but not big heads in industry that is required to sustain as successful director".
That's true in fact. Let us see how he comes up.
'Happy Days' is still the Telugu viewer's favourite
The top five Telugu films are:
1. "Happy Days" - The movie is a hit in all the A, B and C centres in Andhra Pradesh as well as the US. It's Sekhar Kammula all the way when it comes to successful offbeat films. Both the young and old have appreciated this tale about the lives of eight engineering students.
2. "Thulasi" - Family audiences seem to prefer "Thulasi" as it has both sentiment and romance. Child star Atulith gives an endearing performance despite the large dose of violence. Venkatesh returns to action in this film filled with commercial elements like an item number by Shriya.
3. "Nava Vasantham" - Tarun comes back after a gap in this film directed by Shahjahan. A remake of the Tamil film "Punnagai Desam", the film is a youthful story about friendship. It is quite an entertainer and is doing average business.
4. "Chandamama" - It is cruising towards the 100-day mark. It's quite amazing how a simple, routine story against a village backdrop directed by Krishna Vamsi seems to have worked with the audience.
5. "Seema Sastri" - Although this film has the title "Seema Sastri", it is more a comedy than a typical film set against the Rayalaseema backdrop. Allari Naresh does a fairly good job in this movie directed by G. Nageswara Reddy. Its performance at the box office is average.
