KCR Carries Jayashankar Body

Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao on Wednesday expressed his deep respect towards his friend, philosopher and guide Prof Jayashankar by carrying the latter’s body on his shoulders.

As the body of Jayashankar was shifted from the carriage to the pyre at the crematorium, KCR lent his shoulder in carrying the body. He broke down once again as he touched the feet of the departed leader. He recalled how he used to touch Jayashankar’s feet every time he began his speech at the TRS meetings.

Along with him, Telangana JAC chairman Prof Kodandaram, Harish Rao, Etela Rajender and K T Rama Rao also contributed their efforts in shifting the body.

KCR would be definitely handicapped without Jayashankar, as the latter was the only person who he used to treat with respect. The other Telangana protagonists including Kodandaram or Mallepalli Lakshmaiah had no such attachment with KCR.

Who Is Real Hero: KCR Or Gaddar Or Jagapathi Babu

Any film’s success always depends on the hero factor and how well he shoulders it throughout the duration. However, a dilemma has risen over the latest release ‘Jai Bholo Telangana’ and those who watched it are now trying to figure out who is the actual hero of the film. For now, there are three contenders- KCR, Gaddar, Jagapathi Babu. Each of them has played a key role in this project but here is an analysis on the topic.

For starters, KCR started a movement and though the basis for that is sheer politics, it has turned out to be a great movement. However, he was once the kingpin of this movement but it has gone beyond his control as many groups have risen seeing the potential in it. Today, KCR is used more like a reference panel but each group has its own agenda and motives in the name of Telangana movement.

As for the director N Shankar, he had a good chance to come up with something historical but he has not used it in the right way. If he was able to educate the audience on the essence of Telangana instead of a silly love story and unwanted offensive comments, then he would have marked a name for himself in history. Anyways, it looks obvious that he doesn’t have the brains for something ambitious like that and he seems to be a small time commercial thinker trying to take advantage of a sentiment and making a quick buck.

It is not sure why Jagapathi Babu took up this role but the positive side of it is, he has shown that regions are no barrier when it comes to cinema. However, the etching of his character was not that powerful and though he is the hero technically, he was unable to get the certificate from the audience.

So, the time has come for the real hero of the film. He is none other than Gaddar. This revolutionary ballad singer came up with ‘Podustunna poddu…’ and that single number was enough to put the crowds into frenzy. While youth got hysteric with the song, the energy levels of Gaddar and his thrust in vocals was enough to boost a mania beyond control. He may not be a success in politics but he sure is an icon in the Telangana area which was clearly visible with the audience response when they saw ‘Jai Bholo Telangana’. The major part of film’s success should be attributed to Gaddar.
