Movie Schedules & Ticket Info
Okka Magaadu premiers in USA from Jan 10
Bala Krishna's latest venture Okka Magaadu has created lot of hype in the entire world and the talk that is spreading rapidly about the movie is "Picture Perfect". YVS Chowdary handled the story very well and the songs along with mass dialogues are sure going to rock the box office.
Is Chiru ready to pay 50k crores?
For some weeks mega star Chiranjivi is hitting the headlines of many Telugu dailies. As each day passes by, Chiru's speculated entry into state politics is getting quite intense driving many politicians crazy.
What started as a game of speculation between many local news channels is actually assuming some serious political consideration given the actor's own game of wait and see.
Whether Chiru actually takes the holy plunge into the dirty politics or not it has some how made the winter of deccan plateau quite hot.
Off late, it has been the turn of all and sundry to script their own foreseeable action scenes on the political screen.
Disgruntled congressmen who could not fill enough of their purses in the mega projects the Chief Minister has initiated in the last three and half years of his rule are now trying their mega best to annoy their high command by making the mega star a Chief Minister designate even before he has set his sights on the ballot box.
The plight of telugu tamullu in the Telugu Desam Party is even more pathetic. Confronted with Telangana sentiment, party rank and file all over the state are increasingly getting polarized on the separation issue. Surely, with the possible entry of coastal boy Chiru the shelf life of their party is likely to expire even before the T-State is announced.
The baby elephant in Andhra wished to grow as big as its mom in theUP state, but Chiru's chilipi cum chinna tammudu has played the spoilsport for the mega dreams of the mega sister. behenji Mayawati annoyed with such chilipi tantrums has not spared the rod on her little brothers for playing truant with her. Hence her outburst shunning the naach gaane wale actor brothers as being unfit for public service.
For the lotus party, the waiting in the murky waters seems to be unending saga. The mega star still seems a mystery. However, for TRS chief, it is like waiting to see which side of the bread chiru is going to butter. Left Parties, having been dreaming since a long time for a third front, Chiru own rylu bandi could once again prove just a day dream best left behind.
Having said so much about the established political parties, lets see what it costs the mega star to gain his entry ticket. A political kitten called T G Venkatesh, of rayalaseema iykya vedika, well known for his obsessive opposition to T-State is now demanding from the mega star Chiranjivi to pay a compensation of Rs.Fifty thousand Crores to seema for actively considering joining politics which could potentially break up the united state of Andhra Pradesh.
Star Talk: No politics for Mahesh Babu
So with the elections coming up in a year, when asked about his political inclinations, he denies having anything to do with politics.
"I am very happy doing what I am right now and have no plans to doing anything different. For now I am too focused on my career," says Mahesh.
Reel Talk: Trisha is back with a bang
'Pallikoodam' Tears Flooded In Hyderabad Multiplex
'Hyderabad Film Festivals' are going on in very active mode and the films are being screened at 5 screens of Prasad's multiplex, Amaravathi Theater and Lalitha Kala Thoranam. Many foreign delegates are making their presence at this festival in good number. The films are getting good response and the most acclaimed film yesterday was the Tamil movie 'Pallikoodam' (means 'school'). Thangar Bachchan directed and acted in this movie and he has come for the screening of the film as well. No one bothered about him initially and he sat silently in a corner of the theatre. Thangar Bachchan looks short, dark and rugged. He speaks only Tamil and hardly knows English. Hence except a few people who accompanied him none tried to approach him at all.
The film started. The movie gained momentum. Entire audience turned pin drop with silence. The people who know Tamil immersed totally. And the remaining people didn't turn their eyes from the sub titles even for a second. The screen pulled the attention of audiences completely. It turned a mass hypnotism. People laughed loudly for humor, wept silently for emotions, shed tears of happiness for watching a wonderful movie in life time. As the titles started rolling at the end of the movie people ran towards Thangar Bachchan for autographs and photographs. A few people tried to hug him as well. Thangar Bachchan pulled the hearts of everyone with his wonderful direction and marvelous on-screen performance.
Telugu people shouted, "Manavaallu chaala nerchukovaali. Edi padithey theeseyyadam kaadu. Pallikoodam andaru Telugu directors ki choopinchaali".
"It's true movie. It runs for a year if releases in Telugu", said another emotional viewer clearing his tears.
When asked if the film is a tragedy looking at the tear shedding audiences they said, "No! It's a wonderful emotional comedy. Our tears are of happiness for watching a great movie. We thank Hyderabad Film Festival people for showing such a great master piece for us".
When greatandhra.com bureau asked Thangar Bachchan about the idea of releasing the film in Telugu he said, "I'm looking out for right producer".
Let us see who bags the offer!!!
Over-Active TV Artiste Made A Photographer
Hyderabad Film Festivals has turned a hub for many comedy scenes as well. That is not onscreen but off-screen. There is a TV artiste by name Ashok Kumar who is highly renowned for his roles of Narada on small screen. He also acted as Bhatti in the renowned Telugu Doordarshan serial 'Bhatti Vikramarka' long back.
He is known for comedy roles and seldom appears in movies as well with guest appearances.
He made his presence in Film Festivals to impress a few directors who come there and bag a few roles in their coming flick-be it any language. He kept on meeting the directors with a formal shake hand and a smile. No sooner he is starting to talk to them some film buff is giving a camera to him and requesting him to click one. Ashok Kumar appears like Rakesh Roshan with clean shaved shining bald head. He is trying to give build-up as an affluent and busy film actor to directors but the people around him are simply making him a photographer by putting their cameras in his hands. Embarrassed Ashok Kumar has no other way than clicking the cameras. Things are very difficult in film industry to push individually. There must be some people behind to bring in some aura for the aspirant. Ashok Kumar should learn this and bring at least 10 people along with him while getting introduced to any. But poor Ashok Kumar has no such option. One needs delegate pass to step into Film Festivals!! Influence is required to get that.
Carry Amrutanjan While Going To Apadamokkulaadu
Posani is trying to push his 'Apadamokkulavadu'. The more he is pushing, more the bad name he is bagging. Let us see what the people in Hyderabad talk from theatres.
"Carry Amruthanjan while going to Apadamokkulavadu. The film is unbearable. We came to theaters assuming there is something related to Chiranjeevi. But there is nothing but nonsense. I curse myself by getting carried away by Posani's statement against Dasari last night", says Suresh Kumar, an audience at a theatre in Hyderabad.
"Amruthanjan is not enough. Consuming two pegs would be ideal. Otherwise it is difficult to withstand the hammering", said another viewer standing by the side.
"Entire film industry should make it a point to prevent Posani from making films. He is good dialogue writer in past. But what happened now? I turned his fan after watching 'Pelli Chesukundam'. He penned dialogues for that film. But now he turned sadist. He should retire now or consult at least 100 people before starting work on his script", said another.
That is the feedback Posani is getting for his 'Apadamokkulavadu' after he came out with a controversy by alleging Dasari as the man behind stopping the release of the movie.

Reel Talk: 'Chirutha' Runs to Full House At LKT
Not just in the regular commercial centers, actor Ram Charan Teja has been able to get a full house at the Lalitha Kala Thoranam (LKT) where his debut film 'Chirutha' was screened as part of the Hyderabad International Film Festival.
Most of the audience was heard appreciating Charan's performance as an actor and he has been successful in coming out of the image of Megastar Chiranjeevi's son and establishes himself as an independent star.
The recent 100 day celebration of the film was held at Vizag which was a successful event.
Charmy's Sexy Body's Weight Is 65 Kgs
Do you know the weight of Charmy? That is 65 as per a source. That proves to heavy weight to some extent but for Charmy it proved chubby.
A Telugu film magazine revealed this weighing secret of Charmy. It seems that she is now sprucing up her body as she got the tag of Bapu Bomma. Charmy is in an attempt to bring her parts to right shape and avoid the odd-plump-look. She is now concentrating at her abdomen and waist. Well, if she is working out for better health that s fine. But she is perfect as per looks, right!
Charmy! Your hardcore fans say only one thing. "Don't lose your charm by becoming slim. Don't try to step out for liposuction at this juncture. You are perfect in your structure".
Is Charmy listening?
Snippet: Change of Title for Teja's Flick
Dynamic director Teja who has taken the onus of launching the son of big budget movie maker M S Raju has now changed the title of the film.
The new name for the film is 'Vastaadu Naa Raju' replacing 'Nuvve Naa Hero…Andi O Ammayi', while the official announcement is yet to be made, this looks like the sure one. The film will mark the launch of Sumanth Ashwin into filmdom and the search for the correct heroine is still on.
It is true that that the title 'Nuvve Naa Hero' caught the attention of many. But the straight reason for changing the title is not known. In fact, the title 'Vastaadu Naa Raju' is also an old one conceived by Teja.
Bubbly Raasi Lost Rs 50 Lkah and Acting Again
Raasi, the actress, lost a whopping Rs 50 lakh investing on a movie 'Maharajasri' that evaporated within days of release. Raasi invested such big sum believing in the talent of her husband SS Nivas.
But things didn't go according to her wishes. The film flopped and Raasi is now bankrupted. She is now getting ready to do any kind of role that suits her body. Raasi had put on lot of weight and now looking obese. She is planning to earn big before she loses scope to act completely. Hence she is trying to recharge her old friends in the industry by making phone calls and visiting in person to find new roles in movies. Had she been with that old voluptuous figure, things would have been different. But now as she turned obese, film makers are also thinking twice to consider her.
Above all, she is no way ready to act for free. Her expectations are big being a former heroine. So we have to see when she earns the figure she is expecting.
Feature: Telugu Man's International Flag For Cinema
This is not the flag of a single nation but of entire world Cinema. It's designed by N Gopala Krishna, a producer, director and writer and also the present Editor of 'Journal-AP Film Chamber of Commerce'.
Gopalakrishna is better known as 'Lakshmana Rekha' Gopala Krishna. Lakshamana Rekha was the film directed by him which happened to be the first film of Jayasudha.
Coming to the flag, it's a point to feel proud by every Telugu speaking individual first. It was Pingali Venkayya who designed the National Flag of India almost a century ago. Now it is again N Gopala Krishna, a Telugu man, whose flag is in the process of accreditation to hoist on every film theatre, studio and lab in entire world. That sounds to be Herculean but that is what happening behind the screens. Top Tollywood celebrities are now pushing this flag through Hyderabad Film Festivals and we may soon see this as a unique flag for entire Film Fraternity.
Gopalakrishna says: "'Red' stands for production. 'Red' symbolizes dynamism and production requires the same. 'Yellow' stands for friendship and distributors prove successful only with friendly terms between the producers and exhibitors. 'Blue' stands for purity and bliss and that is the epitome of 'exhibition'. And the 'Film Reel In A Spool' at the center stands as a symbol for entire 24 frames of film making".
Let us see when this flag can become universal.
Reel Buzz: Two Hot Ladies With Rajni Kanth
With the news that the mega project 'Robot' is on, the entire media is abuzz with activity and it is heard that the makers are looking at roping in not one but two heroines for the film and the most likely choices would be the Bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone and our very own South Indian hottie Nayantara.
While the official announcements are yet to be made, this pair looks quite likely to be alongside superstar Rajnikanth who will be the hero of the film. Will have to see how Shankar brings up this brainchild story of his.
On the other hand Rajni Kanth visited Tirumala to seek blessings of Lord Venkateshwara before getting into the actual job of 'Robot'. And it seems that the time started for us to talk about 'Robot'.
Cheap Tricks To Earn Money Using Chiranjeevi
Posani's cheap tricks are already seen. He has chosen the way to throw cold water on Dasari and push his film 'Apadamokkulavadu' using the power of Chiranjeevi fans. He is indirectly seeking the help of Chiranjeevi fans to pump in oxygen for this flick. He said that he made the film supporting Chiranjeevi's entry into politics and thus thrown a clue for Mega Star's fans to look at his film.
Earlier he cashed 'Operation Duryodhana' by making controversy with respect to Telangana issue. But that was not intentional from his side. The issue broke down with the agitation of Telangana Rashtra Vidyarthi Praishad. As that 'operation' turned successful with that controversy now Posani intended to do controversy by coming on to media against Dasari.
It is indeed true that Dasari objected the release of the film but Posani is using that at right time by coming on to media. Let us see how far Posani cashes with these tricks. Can Posani use Chiru fans for this!
"Posani Krishna Murali is a sadist. He is dangerous in all the ways than being helpful. It's dangerous with him. Chiranjeevi would go to dogs if he encourages making films supporting him. He thinks he supports but that stands out to be venom. This is the worst movie I have ever seen. There is no reference of Chiranjeevi's political entry at all. Two guys chat while reading News Paper and there is a single dialogue in favor of Chiranjeevi in that scene. That's all. Posani is over acting for Chiranjeevi's mileage", says an audience coming out from the theatre.

Buzz: Chiru's Will be a Family Party!
Mega star Chiranjeevi's proposed political party will be nothing more than a "dynastic rule" like that of the Telugu Desam and the Congress. There will be no democratic procedures in the film actor's political party as and when it is announced. To begin with, Chiranjeevi's political party will be led by 1) the film actor himself, 2) his younger brothers, 3) his son and above all 4) his brother-on-law. Since all these five people are from the film industry, they all will participate in the election campaign and in public meetings to popularize the new political party, in case it is formed at all.
The top five positions in Chiranjeevi's party will be occupied by himself, his brothers, his son and his brother-in-law. So anyone who wants to occupy an important position in the new political party will have to be contented with positions down No. 5. If Chiranjeevi wants to keep his son away from politics for the time being, then the outsider, who will be the luckiest one, will have to accept the position No. 5.
And this is precisely the reason why Chiranjeevi is not getting the backing he needed from his own caste leaders or from seasoned politicians. They do not want to play second fiddle (in fact it is the fifth fiddle) to Chiranjeevi. Unless Chiranjeevi announces that he will keep his family away from the new political party, in case he chooses to announce one, there will be no political future for the film star's outfit.
People are already fed up with family rule in the Congress and the Telugu Desam. The TRS leadership is also treading the path of the Congress and KCR has brought his son to succeed him.
