Mohan Babu's Sexy Five Heroines

Collection king Mohan Babu is known for two things onscreen- his dialogues and his heroines. Yes, most of his movies contain leading ladies who are overflowing with sex appeal and nativity masala. So, imagine what happens when Mohan Babu is arriving with not one or two but a total of five heroines.
 
Well, this is true and sources say it is happening for a film titled ‘Rayudu Gariki Kopam Vachchindi’ wherein he is the hero. This is going to be produced by Manchu Lakshmi Prasanna and E Niwas, the protégé of Ram Gopal Varma, would be the director. This has given rise to many permutations and combinations.
 
Some of the questions are what the age group of heroines is, are all from different age groups or some are senior. Is Mohan Babu doing multiple roles? Etc. While all that may be known later, here is some concrete information. It is heard that this is a very interesting story and after this, Mohan Babu will go for his ambitious ‘Ravana’.
 
‘Rayudu Gariki…’ is expected to be a start to finish schedule project. Before K Raghavendra Rao wraps up his ‘Shirdi Sai’ Mohan Babu is keen on wrapping this up. Both films are being made under his home banner.

Rajinikanth To Do Cameo In Mega Film

After giving a brief scare to the millions of fans across the world, superstar Rajinikanth seems to have become fit as a fiddle. Soon, he would be taking off with his magnum opus ‘Kochadaiyaan’ and here is another update. It is heard that Rajini is also likely to do a cameo for another ambitious magnum opus. 
 
Sources say Rajini is likely to be approached by another icon. He is none other than Kamal Haasan and the buzz is that Kamal is keen on roping in Rajini for his movie ‘Marudanayagam’ which started in 1997. Apparently, Kamal is on a revival mode and is confident that there is one role that only his dear friend Rajini can do.
 
While it is not sure when the project will hit the floors and when Rajini will be approached, the very thought that the superstar would be seen in the Lokanayakudu’s project has sent crazy waves of curiosity among the cine folks and the audience. Let us see how this goes.

Young Hero In Love With Malayalam Beauty?

When a youthful romantic entertainer is being canned, it is obvious that the hero and heroine tend to share a lot of chemistry to get the right emotion and feel before the camera. However, there are times when that attraction factor crosses beyond the camera and gets into the real life.

Right now, a gossip is making rounds that something like that has happened on the sets of the film ‘Ishq’. Yes, the buzz is that few sparks began to fly between hero Nithin and the heroine Nithya Menon. Many feel that the ‘Ishq’ cinema seems to have bloomed the fire between both youngsters.

Few unit members reveal that it was Nithya who began to feel comfortable looking at Nithin’s nature and eventually the struggling actor also seemed to enjoy her company. Whether it is just a mere publicity stunt for the film or if there is indeed ‘something something’ happening, we will know in the days to come.

Ileana On Drinking And Sleeping

Heroine Ileana will always be remembered by men even in the years to come….for her sexy hips and her captivating face onscreen. While she has a strong set of followers among the cine circuit and audience, recently she received a lot of brickbats for her act. Well, Ileana became thin reed just so that her belly dance in the film ‘Snehitudu’ looks sexy.
 
However, that act backfired and many criticized Ileana for shrinking like that. Now, it is heard that Ileana has taken that feedback seriously and she has been into a lot of drinking and sleeping to gain weight. By drinking we mean a lot of milk products and sleeping well. It is heard that some of them have suggested Ileana to do that.
 
In order to put on some extra pounds like the way she did in ‘Kick’ and ‘Bhale Dongalu’, Ileana is reportedly binging on milk shakes, protein shakes and other healthy diet with proper hours of sleeping. Soon, she would be

It is heard that her ‘Langa Oni’ and sarees are designer made. All this will be put into auction and if the film is a success then the auction will have value.

It is heard that the proceeds from the auction are going for the welfare of poor cine artists and another share would be given to MAA. That’s why the makers are hoping the film clicks at the box office. Let us see what happens. The director for the film is Veerabhadram Chowdary and producer is R R Venkat.

Story
Set on the backdrop of Parakala village in Warangal district, a feud is going on between Konda Reddy (Dev Gill) and Lala Goud (Pradeep Rawath) since a long time. This is for a 30 acre land that is between their properties of 300 acres land each. So, whoever comes to buy that small bit gets killed. The owner plays a small game and comes to Hyderabad. He sells the land to Ranga (Sunil) who is known for his smart thinking. Ranga’s boss pays the money and the land is bought. However, after coming to the site, Ranga gets to know the problem. His friend (Ali) advises Ranga to take the help of Anita (Isha), daughter of Lala Goud. From then on, Ranga hatches a plan but it gets complicated when Anita confesses her love for him. What happens after that forms the rest of the story.

Performances
Sunil was extraordinary. He proved his mettle in dance, fights and most importantly, his physique. Slowly he is emerging as a new wave actor with a special genre of characterization for him. But he bored with over dose of knee dances. He also appeared repugnant in a few scenes with his sick face.

Isha Chawla doesn’t disappoint. Her lovely smiles and that natural sex appeal strikes a chord with the viewers. However, don’t expect anything sensuous or spicy from her in this movie.

Dev Gill was apt. His meanness and brawny physique with evil expressions make him the perfect villain. Though he is Hindi, he has put good efforts to match the lip sync and made his presence felt.

Pradeep Rawath was rather submissive this time though he was a bad guy. He is more on a soft and humorous note. Overall, he did a decent job and contributed as required.

Ali was okay, Raghu Babu brought few smiles, Pragathi was elegant, Kota was matured, Satyam Rajesh was humorous, Sudharani was regular. Arundhati Sudhakar was upto the mark. Prithvi was apt.

Highlights

• Sunil dances
• Commercial elements
• Production values

Drawbacks

• Amateur comedy at few places
• Editing jerks
• Length

Analysis
The success of any films depends on three main departments- Screenplay, Direction, cinematography and music. And if all of them work then the impact is high.

However good the film may be, it is the climax or the last fifteen to twenty minutes which is crucial. If there are the right kind of peaks then hit is guaranteed. That’s what works for this movie. But the climax fight where Sunil sports his 6 pack muscles would have shot in a better way. The oil that was applied to Sunil’s body failed to match the texture with his face. Thus it creates an impact of morphing though original. Director tried his best to make it gripping but still there is scope to build the emotion. Whistles would have worked in theatres in bigger way if Sunil’s revolt was started with a powerful punch like the one in Rajnikanth’s ‘Basha’, before exposing the body.

However, credit goes to the director for packaging with right masala elements to make it a proper entertainer. He was well supported by the producer who didn’t compromise on quality and a significant score from the music director added to the punch. While the entire storyline goes about with few predictable twists and turns, one can see a slight flavour of ‘Maryada Ramanna’ in few instances. But the energy levels and the tacky screenplay gave the extra boost. Not to forget, the scene where Sunil’s six pack is shown is gripping. As such, this is a film which will have a strong impact at the B, C centers.

At the box office, the film has the perfect ingredients for a commercial potboiler so success looks very strong.

Bottom line: Poolarangadu- Some flowers are fragrant and some plastic

Ram Charan Angry On His Fans

Star heroes and the frenzy that the fans have for them needs no introduction. And Ram Charan Tej is one lad who enjoys a lot of that. However, there are times when fans tend to overdo few things much to the discomfort of their stars. Right now, it is heard that Charan is little miffed with his fans for something.
 
Apparently, fans have been coming up with new designs for the title of his film ‘Rachcha’ and putting it on internet. Few sections of the media is thinking it is the real thing given by the makers of the film and they are circulating it across their fraternity.
 
Not stopping at that, the fans are also doing something similar by creating few trailers, first songs etc using their creativity. It is heard that Charan does not like it at all. He feels that the real branding of ‘Rachcha’ will get spoiled if such fake creations are not good. It also tends to mislead the regular audience and the media circles. Wonder what the fans have to say to this.

'Rachcha' Audio Rate Creating Chaos!!

One of the much awaited and most talked about movies of the season is ‘Rachcha’ and the makers are taking every precaution possible to ensure Ram Charan scores a hit and bounces back. Now, the focus has shifted towards the noted audio company Aditya Music and their latest deal.

It is heard that Aditya audio has bagged the audio rights of ‘Rachcha’ for a whopping Rs 1 crore. Many are tagging it as fake price and some say if they have bought it with such an amount, then it is a bad deal. But all of them are missing the bigger picture. Aditya Music rules the roost in Tollywood.

They may have spent Rs 1 crore for ‘Rachcha’ but according to calculations, if the film scores a hit then they will make Rs 1.5 crores and if the film fails they will get minimum of Rs 50 lakhs.

Considering ‘Rachcha’ bombs, the gap of Rs 50 lakhs can be covered by Aditya easily since they buy the audio rights of all the big films and even if two out of ten big movies work, the money is made. The other point is, Aditya is ensuring that they maintain their monopoly by bagging the rights of all big banner movies. That’s how this logic works folks!!

All Eyes On This Sexy Hot Lady

Whoever she is, the mystery girl’s hot sex appeal was a grand visual feast. Enjoy her folks!!

Nayantara Going Back To Ex-Boyfriend!!

The film industry is one place where there are no permanent friends or enemies. It is all about time and that moment. The reason we say this is after hearing the buzz about the hot lady Nayantara getting back to her former boyfriend Simbu, the Kollywood actor. Of course, this is not for any romantic solace.

Sources say after her alleged breakup with Prabhu Deva, Nayan is working with a vengeance and she has been signing up some really plum projects. Buzz is that she has already signed a film with Kollywood star Ajith and now she is reportedly in talks with Simbu for a new project.

If one can recall, it was Simbu who released their private pictures in public to prove a point that they had an affair and it was over. Well, now that Nayan seems quite comfortable in getting back to her ex and working with him, it remains to be seen whether both will be professional enough not to get their past into the picture.

Sexy Norwegian Beauty's Lovely Pose

She is the Iranian beauty Negar Khan who spent her growing years in Norway. Known for her ultra hot bikini body and her desire to raise the desire in men, Negar has made a mark for her own. Here she is, posing in a rather different style but giving a lovely view of her shining legs and thighs. While one can also get a peek of her slender curves, Negar’s sharp features and glowing beauty is enough to give sweat to men. Enjoy her folks!!

Gopichand! Luckiest For Cancelled Marriage

There comes a phase in every actor's life when he/she has to go through a lean patch. And when things go wrong, even the personal front goes for a toss. Right now, the focus is on one actor. He is Gopichand.

He took off as a villain and stabilised himself as a hero. He also became the 'Aggressive Star' of Tollywood. However, all that seems to be a thing of the past. Right now, Gopi's career is going through a bumpy ride and here is another update.

It is heard that Gopi's wedding which was due to happen on February 24th has been called off. His fiancee's name is Haritha. While the reasons for this are unknown, sources say Gopichand is feeling disturbed about it.

However, many are saying it is better off that Gopichand got away with it. Moreover, given his caliber of performance the day is not far when Gopi will bounce back and that too with vengeance. As for the girl, there is a much better one in store for you Gopi so cheer up!!!

Allu Aravind Behind Tamanna's 'No' To Mahesh?

It is known that Thamanna said ‘no’ to Sukumar to pair up with Mahesh Babu. When inquired, it’s said that it was Allu Aravind who made Tamanna give that statement. Many know that Tamanna is in the camp of Allu Aravind these days.
 
And Aravind is a bit unhappy about Dookudu producer Anil who is also making the film now with Sukumar and Mahesh Babu in combination. Hence he wants to put a big test for Anil to find a suitable heroine. It is needless to say that the unhappiness of Aravind on Anil is due to his announcement of ‘Dookudu’ collections toeing down ‘Magadheera’.
 
Although initially Aravind is not happy even with Mahesh Babu, he didn’t develop the gap with him as he kept himself silent with respect to the collections of ‘Businessman’.

Actress Sneha In Depression

She is known as the sensuous beauty and there are many men among the audience who always dream of her as the perfect housewife. She is none other than Sneha and right now, it is heard that this dusky beauty is going through a phase of depression.
 
Apparently, the key cause for Sneha’s disturbance is missing the coveted role of playing superstar Rajinikanth’s sister in the magnum opus ‘Kochadaiyaan’. Now, this role has gone to the classical dancer Rukmini. Sources reveal Sneha is very dull as it was a lifetime offer and it slipped right from her hands.
 
This was a very important project to Sneha given her dwindling career. On the other hand, even her marriage also is in suspense mode as no dates have been announced for the wedding date. Buzz is that her beau Prasanna’s parents are being very firm on not accepting this alliance so persuasions are on.

Sunil's Shocking 6 Pack Workout Video

Mahesh...Look At Me: Sherlyn Chopra

She was known as Mona Chopra sometime back but eventually she came to be known as the bikini goddess. And most of the times, many have seen her only in bikini than regular costumes. She is none other than Sherlyn Chopra and now she has graduated from bikini to absolutely nothing!!
 
Yes, the hot lady has gone total nude and uploaded her picture in the Twitter profile. Not stopping at that, she also took a dig at Katrina Kaif through her tweets. Amidst all this, the analysts have understood what Sherlyn is trying to say…that she is better than a Sunny Leone or Poonam Pandey.
 
She is also trying to draw the attention of the noted moviemaker Mahesh Bhatt who has roped in Sunny and has been speaking high about her. Well, when Mahesh can get Desi Spice in birthday suit, there is no need for him to go for a foreign curry which has been tasted many times…Mahesh, look at Sherlyn please!!

Rich Reddy Girls Uniting Tollywood Families

rom ages, the Tollywood circuit has been run by families which are powerful in caste and the same culture got imbibed into fans. On the other hand, star egos resulted in many of the top league heroes not mingling with each other that freely. But all that has begun to change, thanks to the ladies of the house.
 
Apparently, it is the rich girls from the Reddy community who seem to be bridging the caste gaps and uniting the Tollywood families. Manchu Vishnu married Viraanica Reddy, Allu Arjun married Sneha Reddy and soon, Ram Charan will tie the knot to Upasana who is almost a Reddy.
 
That way, the young generation of heroes hailing from different castes is now being united by their wives who belong to the Reddy community. Now that they are following that in their real life, it is about time the heroes come together and work for multi-starrers to create the same harmony onscreen.

Tamil Ammayi Becomes Tamil Ammayi Again

It was the film ‘Amma Naana O Tamil Ammayi’ that made many take notice of the Malayalam beauty Asin. The film was directed by Puri Jagannadh and from then on, there was no turning back for Asin. Today, she has been making her presence felt in Bollywood and now it is heard that she has bagged a biggie.
 
Well, the time has come for the ‘Tamil Ammayi’ to become a ‘Tamil Ammayi’ once again. Sources from Mumbai reveal Asin is likely to be roped in as the heroine for the screen adaptation of the book ‘Two States: The Story Of My Marriage’ written by Chetan Bhagat. This would be directed by Vishal Bharadwaj.
 
Buzz is that Asin is likely to pair up with none other than Shahrukh Khan. The story is about the romance between a north Indian boy and a south Indian girl. So given the ‘Tamil’ roots of Asin, she is definitely the best choice. Let us hope this works for Asin and she finds the much needed recognition in Bollywood.

Sexy Heroine Wishes To Remain Unmarried

The common process for any person is to stabilize in their career and get married. And the film industry has seen some of the top range heroines enjoying their phase of glory and eventually settling as homemakers. But here is one starlet who seems to have made up her mind to be ‘Single’ forever.
 
She is none other than Shriya Saran. It is heard that Shriya was sharing her thoughts with few friends in Mumbai when she made it clear that she wishes to remain unmarried for the rest of her life. It seems Shriya has no belief in love and her concept lies in having only short term relations but not love.
 
Looking at the innocent face of Shriya and her emotional acts, many believe she is very much the normal girl who wants to fall in love and get married. But there are those who say she has a hidden crazy streak which surfaces now and then. Perhaps this is one of those glimpses of this sexy heroine.

Sexy Lady At Dhobighat

She is the voluptuous sex bomb Kiran Rathod who is a noted name in the southern circuit. Known for her fleshy sex appeal, Kiran is a visual feast for the masses. Here she is, draped in a spotted saree and giving a generous view of her hips with good number of folds. While she has put on weight in other areas, the erotic young look on her face still remains intact which raises desire among men. Enjoy her folks!!

'Nippu' Review: No Fire, Only Smoke

Rating: 2/5Banner: Bommarillu Films
Cast: Ravi Teja, Deeksha Seth, Rajendra Prasad, Pradeep Rawat, Sriram etc
Music: SS Thaman
Cinematographer: Sarvesh Murari
Editing: Gowtham Raju
Director: Guna Sekhar
Producer: YVS Chowdary
Release Date: 17 Feb 2012

‘Nippu’, the film that’s publicized as the one that is coming from three friends YVS, Guna Sekhar and Ravi Teja has hit the screens today. Let us see how it entertains the audience.

Story:
An okay tale, the story begins with Surya (Ravi Teja) who owns a gym centre and he also has a good friend Sri (Sriram). Surya is in love with his friend’s sister Meghna (Deeksha) and after some cat and mouse games, she also falls in love. After a while, Sri goes to Saudi for job and there he falls in love with Vaishnavi (Bhavana).

The story takes a turn when Surya goes to Saudi to celebrate the birthday of Sri and is shocked when the Saudi police arrest Sri on charges of murdering Vaishnavi. He is sentenced to death. Now, the only way for Surya is to get the signature from Vaishnavi’s parents to acquit Sri. And that happens to be Raja Goud (Pradeep Rawath), the bad guy whom Surya has been fighting all along. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Performances:
Ravi Teja gave his hundred percent with extra energy and sharp dialogue delivery. Usually he shoulders all his films but he didn’t have that scope due to screenplay errors.

Deeksha Seth is yet to improve on her acting. Though she has good height, she must tone up her body if she is planning for a long career as a heroine. She suits Ravi Teja’s height which is the saving factor.

Rajendra Prasad was elegant and effective. His versatility in expressions and emotions always makes a strong presence onscreen. He was good.

Sriram was handsome as usual and he delivers to the required level. Pradeep Rawath was good and evil enough. Bhavana was brief but cute. Brahmanandam brought few smiles. Supreeth was standard. Krishnudu, Brahmaji, Mukul Dev, Jayaprakash Reddy, Dharmavarapu and others were there to fill the gaps.

Highlights:

• Cinematography
• Interval bang
• Ravi Teja’s performance

Drawbacks:

• Weak screenplay
• Outdated fights
• Slow pace

Analysis:
The story line of Nippu is very simple: what the hero does to save his friend who is battling for his life. There is absolutely no excitement in the storyline and the director has to put in a lot of hard work to make a film out of it. It is really a tight rope walking for the director. Despite his best efforts, there is no guarantee that this routine story would fetch any success. Instead of taking a lot of care to make a film with this silly storyline, Gunasekhar made a mess of it with his grossly ill-planned script. In the first half, one would feel as it one is watching a Japanese or Korean film without sub-titles.

Given the fact that it has noted names like Gunasekhar and Ravi Teja, the expectations ran high. However, it appears that Guna Sekhar is yet to come out of his shell. Though he was careful in not going overboard with the budget his brilliance as a director was missing barring the pre-interval twist.

For any film to be successful, the screenplay is main oxygen. And that failed to work here. Same goes with the dialogues. They ended up being verbose during key moments. The production values were generous but though the money was being seen, it didn’t have that kind of content to justify. The key scenes were unable to deliver the depth. For instance,

• Pradeep Rawath’s wife gets realization and wants to help Ravi Teja but all it takes is just 5 seconds.
• First half goes with back and forth narration and the real story is missing, it took a while for the audience to realize that a flashback episode was happening.

Overall, the film runs on a flimsy storyline, weak execution and most of the focus was on the presentation than filling it with substance. At one point, one begins to wonder whether it is the same Guna Sekhar who made films like ‘Choodalani Vundhi’ ‘Okkadu’ etc.

Setting aside the commercial calculations of the film, if one were to go by the content part of it, the title “Nippu” suits the film. The audiences should thank their stars, as the film has been released before the onset of summer. Had it been released in mid-summer, it would have been a frying-pan-to-fire experience for the audiences!

At the box office, the film will have decent openings but the presence of ‘Love Failure’ and the arrival of ‘Poola Rangadu’ is sure to cause a big dent.

Bottom line: No big flames

Delhi chill grips Mallika Sherawat

The chilly winds in the capital ended up leaving actress Mallika Sherawat under the weather. She was shooting for her upcoming film "Kismat Love Paisa Dilli" here.

Mallika happened to shoot from 7 p.m. to the next morning recently -- and ended up falling ill.

Producer Krishan Chaudhary came to her rescue as he called out for his family doctor to check on her, says a source. Chaudhary has teamed up with Amit Chandra to produce the film.

Chaudhary also planned to cancel the shoot for Mallika's sake, but the actress insisted on continuing with it. She told the producer that she felt better after seeing the doctor, and carried on with the shoot, which finished on time thanks to her dedication.v "Kismat Love Paisa Dilli", directed by Sanjay Khanduri, also features Vivek Oberoi.

I had a miscarriage, fine now: Dimpy Mahajan

There were reports last year that reality TV couple Rahul and Dimpy Mahajan were expecting their first child together. Dimpy confirmed the news, but informed that she suffered a miscarriage.

"It is true I was pregnant. But since doctors advise you to not reveal the news until the first three months, we didn't speak about it. But I don't know how this news leaked. Unfortunately I suffered a miscarriage in the very first month. It's a normal thing and I am fine," Dimpy told IANS on phone from Mumbai.

Dimpy married Rahul on national television in 2010. She pipped 14 contestants and over 16,500 applicants on Imagine TV's reality show "Rahul Dulhania Le Jaayega" to marry the son of late Bharatiya Janata Party leader Pramod Mahajan.

However, just four months after marriage, trouble started brewing when the Kolkata-based model accused Rahul of "punching, kicking and dragging" her. However, both of them later sorted out their differences and were back together. Dimpy says after two years, their bond has become much stronger.

"Our relationship has grown stronger over the years. We have had our share of ups and downs but now we understand each other much more than before and everything is going good," she said.

Meanwhile, Dimpy is set to make her small screen debut as Naagin Jwala on Sahara One's "Kahani Chandrakanta Ki" and says she is really excited about the show.

"I am playing a naagin (female serpent) in the show and I am really excited about it. Historical and mythological shows have always fascinated me. As a child I loved watching such shows because of their grand sets, clothes, jewellery and being part of it now is amazing," she said.

But carrying the costume and jewellery is not easy, says Dimpy.

Another reason behind her taking up this show was to clear the misconceptions that Bengalis can't speak pure Hindi.

"There is a misconception that Bengali people can't speak proper Hindi and what can be better than to be a part of a show like this and to prove people wrong. All the dialogues in this show are in pure Hindi language," she said.

So what kept you away from small screen for so long?

"The way we got married, I wanted some time to settle down, we had to understand each other more. Rahul always encouraged me to be a part of TV industry but I needed time and now after two years I feel it's time that I do something for myself," she said.

Why is Priyanka losing out on pals?

Priyanka Chopra's career is not exactly going great guns contrary to expectations. Is it because she has managed to make several enemies along the way.

Instead of feeling over the moon with the success of her last film Agneepath, looks like Priyanka Chopra has hardly anything to cheer about. In the past few months, PC has been attracting attention for all the wrong reasons. From her film, her friends and her love life, everything seems to be attracting controversies. So what has really forced a bunch of Bollywood biggies to sideline this leading lady? Read on...

Friends no more
They say Bollywood isn't really a place to make friends and these days, no one knows it better than PC. Her link-up with Shah Rukh Khan has cost her more than what she could have imagined. Ever since the SRK's Eid bash in 2011, the entire coterie of star wives has apparently kept away from Priyanka.

Mehr Rampal steps in 
Says a source, "Even at the bash she was confronted by Mehr Rampal about why she was at the party when she wasn't really a part of their clique or family. Shah Rukh however stood up and defended her then."

However, post that party Gauri's friends have made sure Priyanka isn't part of any of their social gatherings.


No place for PC at Agneepath success party
In fact all this is apparently the reason she wasn't present at Hrithik Roshan's Agneepath success party. Adds the source, "They said she couldn't attend the party because of some brand endorsements in Hyderabad, but the fact is that she wasn't invited. It was a party where Hrithik was celebrating the success of his film with his closest gang and obviously they did not want any unnecessary tension. In fact, Hrithik even tweeted a picture with Gauri saying she is the most beautiful woman in the world. Now that goes to prove how much Sussanne and he care for Gauri."

KJo gives PC a cold shoulder
Strangely, Karan Johar too seems to have joined the list of people who want little to do with the actress. Adds the source, "She was sidelined during the promotions of Agneepath as well, because Karan isn't too happy about the rumours doing the rounds."

PC's quick fix: In fact, it is Priyanka who is trying to go out of the way to make amends to no avail. She recently went up to Kareena Kapoor and hugged her at an awards event.


Films no more
Apart from the films she had already committed to over a year ago, there's nothing new coming her way. In fact, besides SRK, none of the senior superstars want to work with her. Says a source, "Salman has had a problem with her ever since God Tussi Great Ho. Akshay Kumar won't work with her. And Aamir Khan does not have an equation with her."

Current projects
At the moment she is working on Rakesh Roshan's Krissh 2, Anurag Basu's Barfi (Anurag too had a problem with PC throwing tantrums) and Kunal Kohli's Teri Meri Kahani opposite Shahid Kapoor. However we hear that she completely ignored her ex-beau Shahid during a recent award function in Macau.

Adds a source, "She has had a love-hate relationship with Shahid and though she is doing a film with him, they don't share the kind of friendship they used to at one point."

No other film with KJo
And last we heard Karan Johar clarifying to the media that he hasn't signed any film with Miss Chopra.

Adds the source, "She has been part of one of Dharma's biggest hits to date, Agneepath. It's strange that despite that Karan hinted that he isn't really working with PC anytime soon."

PC's quick fix: We hear that PC now plans to devote more time to her music and is also planning a few concerts. In fact, the Creative Artist Agency (CAA) of Hollywood has signed her on as their first Bollywood client. Priyanka Chopra remained unavailable for comment.

Sexier Than Mother?

This is Shruthi Hasan, the daughter of Saarika and Kamal Hasan. Saarika is known for her erotic eyes and voluptuous figure when she was on peak of her career. Now Shruthi is in national news thanks to Kolaveri Di that turned very popular. She poses this way sporting her shapes to lens. While the teenagers say she is sexier than her mom, the middle age men say Saarika was far better than this young dame. Well, beauty depends on the eye of the beholder.

'Dhoni' Review: Fielding Good, Batting Bad

Rating: 2.5/5
Cast: Prakash Raj, Radhika Apte, Master Akash, Brahmanandam etc
Music: Ilayaraja
Lyrics: Sirivennela
Story: Mahesh Manjrekar
Dialogues: Mahesh Raja, Jnanavel
Cinematography: Guhan, Kadir
Producer, Director: Prakash Raj
Release Date: 10th Feb 2012

Prakas Raj has got nothing to prove as an actor. He has got many accolades for his performance in various Indian language films. He has shown his adroitness in direction with the film ‘Akasamantha’ earlier in Kannada and proved that he has got the ability to make audience laugh and weep. Now he came up with Dhoni, an awareness film. Let us see how far he stood successful this time.

Story:
Subrahmanyam (Prakash Raj), a middle class man, strives hard to run his family and educate his two children. As he finds tough to make both ends meet with his modicum income, he also sells pickles and at times borrows money from people around. Due to his love towards his son and daughter he gives them very costly education that is beyond his pocket. But his son (Akash) loves cricket and finds no interest in studies. Subrahmanyam gets irritated with that and finds ways to make him study well. Although Akash completes till 9th standard, he says firm no to class 10th. Subrahmanyam gets angry with his motherless son and beats him hard. In the process Akash gets a bruise on head and gets into coma. What happens next is the story.

Performances:
As told above, it is needless to say about the performance of Prakash Raj. He excelled as middle class father perfectly. He resembled the neighbor next door. Kudos to him. But the director in Prakash Raj failed to exploit the actor in Prakash Raj in second half.

Radhika Apte has got apt role and ample screen presence. Murali Sharma is also perfect in his shoes. Master Akash has  got good future. He really performed well in key scenes where there is scope to unleash talent. Gollapudi Maruthi Rao, Tanikella Bharani, Brahmanandam and Thalaivasal Ravi did their part well.

Highlights:

• Prakash Raj’s performance
• Ilayaraja’s music
• Sirivennela’s lyrics

Drawback:

• Poor second half

Analysis:
In this plot, there is an anguish to show the limitations in education system but director might have took that anguish as a revolutionary blow on society. Prakash Raj didn’t carve the plot in such away to build emotion among audience. How a father feels when his son goes to coma was not shown effectively. But as a producer and actor he did 100 percent justice to the film.

On a whole the plot is good but the execution part lacked conviction. The film that goes on right track in entire first half got derailed in the secord part. The required emotion lacked in large part. What’s the anguish of Prakash Raj’s character? Is he pointing out education system? Is he pointing out students? Is he pointing out to ban 17th table from tables book (one has to watch the film to understand this)? The confusion dominated the second half than the point to be communicated.

Ilayaraja’s music and Sirivennela’s lyrics gelled well. Cinematographer also excelled well but the screenplay lacked conviction as the story got advanced in second half.

The film neither makes audience carry an emotional feel nor makes them think towards a solution deeply. The film proved successful in raising the point but failed in giving solution. It’s a good attempt but not a good film.

Bottomline: Don’t build expectations with the title
