0
Earlier last week, a meeting was held between Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC), CBFC representatives, film industry representatives and broadcasters in Mumbai. Efforts are on to get designated watershed hours post 11pm when A-certified movies can be screened with minimal cuts. There were talks about a proposition where viewers get to know the number of sexually explicit and violent scenes in the movie at the beginning.

There were discussions about running a ticker at the beginning of the movie saying that this movie contains a particular number of scenes not fit for viewers under 18. This policy is prevalent in the US and the UK.

Small films left to die

0
September is all set to say good bye soon and October is all set to see high octane entertainers setting silver screen on fire. Starting from this month till next year Sankranthi holidays big buget films, top hero entertainers will come one by one. In the midst of all this one wonder what will be the fate of low budget film makers. A question arises whether small producer should always remain like that without making any headaway. Industry show discrimination while allotting theaters to film. They classify film makers as big and small film makers. Film makers are always in constant worry as when industry will show discrimination as small film makers in allotting theaters.
 
Due to this many new and aspiring film makers after doing one film and having first hand experience of all this, said good bye never looking back.This time also many films are languishing for release. They include Harmones, Swati I Love You, Chanakyudu, Srai Vasavi Mahathyam, and many more. Unless until some thing is done to retrieve the situation or the industry will always be in the grips of few influential filmmakers who dictate terms to all.

Heroines not given their due

0
When Vidya Balan started acting in ‘Dirty Picture’ every one wrote her off saying that she is just trying to create an identity of her own by turning erotic. However she stunned all with her performance in the role of Silk Smitha and then repeated the same in her next films like ‘No one killed Jessika’ and ‘Kahaani’. In Kahaani she won the accolades of many as a pregnant woman who comes in search of her husband in the busy streets of Kolkata. Now more recently Priyanka Chopra and Ileana showed the power of heroines in ‘Barfi’ with their superlative performances which some times even surpassed chocolate boy Ranbir Kapoor. 
Even Kareena Kapoor did everyone proud with her performance in ‘Heroine’.
 
This brings a question as to why South Indian counter parts do not make heroine oriented films. Do they lack creativity or fear that those films do not appeal to movie lovers. There is misconception among film makers that movie lovers will only see mass masala entertainers and like their heroes romance heroine and bash baddies. They feel that no one watch heroine oriented films. Bollywood came out of that misconception only recently and may be soon Southern industry will also come out of it.

Tollywood earlier made lady oriented films like Arundhati, Anasuya, Vedam and Mangala. Anushka, Charmi amazed all with their performances. Even Priyamani won national award for her acting in her kollywood film Paruthiveeran. So south is no way inferior to Bollywood and it only takes guts and determination to make heroine oriented films.

Opposing bandhs not anti Telangana

0
People, political parties and groups who are calling for bandhs and rastarokos demanding formation of Telangana are branding anyone who are opposing bandhs as anti telangana and even going to the extent of assaulting them putting their lives in danger. They are not realizing the fact that there are many lives which are dependent on daily wages and whenever bandhs and rasta rokos are called and organized they lose their earnings.
 
The protesters counter these point saying all those people are prepared to give their lives for the cause of telangana and are willing to face any eventuality. Those people who are making such points eat the delicious dishes of their mother and sleep well in their houses before arriving to conduct hartals and rastarokos. General opinion among public is before making any such statements they should experience the trials and tribulations of daily wage earners.
 
Many say though their hearts are for telangana they can not survive unless until they get their daily wages. When Jai Prakash Narayan of Loksatta Party tried to raise their issue TRS and Harish Rao became furious and hurled mike at him. Many are heard commenting how can Harish Rao know the situation of poor as he spent most of his time in US.

Crop Holiday turns Power Holiday

0

Framers in the state of Andhra Pradesh announced ‘Crop Holiday’ refusing to raise crops due to acute power and water supply. However helpless Govt did not take any measures to solve the problems of farmers. Instead state and central governments are going on increasing prices in all sectors breaking the back of common people.

Cong’s powerful leader JC.Diwakar Reddy who hoped to become minister whenever there was cabinet expansion ever since the regime of YSR, seems to have reconciled to the fact that he will never become a minister as he faced many disappointments from Cong High Command he worships a lot. Now he seems to be coming to the conclusion that Cong is near its end and will never return to power in state.

He says just like farmers announcing ‘Crop Holiday’, days are not far when people announce ‘Power Holiday’ for Congress. He was seen discussing in assembly lobby that had the Govt announced ‘Crop Holiday’ to farmers from its own side, demand for release of sagar water to Krishna delta would have come at all. He felt that this would have got even compensation for farmers from Govt. He predicted that ‘Power Holiday’ is in store for Cong Party in 2014 elections.

Who are BCs?

0
Now a days entire political community is busy wooing BC community. It all started with TDP supremo Chandra Babu Naidu announcing in full public domain that he will give 100 assembly tickets to BC candidates. Entire BC community, their leaders hailed Babu’s decision and started felicitating him. Cong APCC chief Botsa went ahead and announced that his party will give 200 seats to BCs. This turned all BCs to Cong once again. However YSRCP’s Vijayamma announced that instead of giving them seats 100 or more seats should be reserved for BCs passing a resolution. Cong once again struck saying BCs should be given seats according to their census.
 
This recently led to discussion between MLAs Tummala Nageswara Rao, Gopala Krishna Reddy and law advisors at TDLP office in assembly lobbies.They felt that with BCs given importance, others like Brahmins, vysyas, Kammas, Velamas and Kapus started demanding their share of tickets. When a legal expert said TDP doesn’t give much importance to Brahmins at all, TDP MLAs countered them saying they are giving importance to BCs. Legal experts countered them saying who are more BCs than them saying BCs stand for Brahmin Community.  They went on to demand how much share their party is going to give. TDP countered them saying during their regime, when Cong started discussion on bramins given opportunity, Minister Tammineni Sitram announced proudly that Babu himself is real BC. They efen countered how can they give tickets to them as they will anyway join Cong later.

Will Ileana forgive Tollywood?

0

Ever since the return of gorgeous Goan beauty Ileana to Tollywood, many commented that she looked like a stick. Many movie lovers, her die hard fans and film makers wrote her off and in her come back films ‘Julaai’ and ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ they included teasers like ‘karuvochina kalaniki brand ambassador’ thus hurting her to the core. Even when Ileana in her media interactions said that her slim look is only for her debut venture ‘Barfi’ in Bollywood, people did not stop commenting on her figure.

She did not take any of the insults from Tollywood heroes who with pride repeated the dialogues penned by film makers or the directors who approved them willingly.She turned enough of it and shifted her base to Mumbai. At the same moment her ‘Barfee’ along with Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra hit the screens and entire Bollywood started singing praises of her. Many top celebrities including Big B lavished praises on her for her performance. North Indian movie lovers is on the verge of making Ilu babe their dream girl and movie analysts and critics predict bright future for her in the industry.

Already film makers are running after her with offers and now many feel Tollywood film makers were taught a fitting lesson by Ileana who made fun of her mocking her to the core. It has to be seen whether they will approach her once again with offers and whether Ilena accepts those offers. But one wonder whether Ileana will ever forgive Tollywood film makers.

Can Tollywood breach Rs 100crs barrier?

0
Ever since Bollywood breached Rs 100 crs barrier quite successfully on more than one occasion, Southern industry is in deep thoughts as whether they can breach the barrier and show the power of regional language films not only to Bollywood but even to entire world. Kollywood top directors are working on the same and now the question comes whether Tollywood can achieve before anyone does it in South. This is a prestigious issue as Tollywood has highest number of film releases next only to Bollywood.

This year has been quite phenomenal for the industry starting with Businessman, Racha, Gabbar Singh, Eega, Julayi grossed around Rs40 crs-Rs80crs. This raised the hopes in many movie lovers that a day wont be far when tollywood film crosses Rs 100crs mark. Tollywood Jakkana Rajamouli is already eying Rs 100crs mark with his high profile historical film with Rebel Prabhas as hero. In the midst of all this Puri Jagannath, the creator of Business Man is unleashing Gabbar Singh, Pawan Kalyan as ‘Cameraman Gangato Rambabu’. Even Ram Charan is having his Bollywood debut film ‘Zanjeer’ backed with ‘Yevadu’ and ‘Nayak’. Not to forget NTR’s ‘Badshah’ or Mahesh, Venky’s combo ‘Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’ nor King Nagarjuna’s ‘Damarukam’.
 

Rs 100crs many feel may not be that difficult with growing demand for hike in ticket prices and if a film has strong story line now a days Rs 60-Rs70 crs is guaranteed. Now with craze for overseas rights growing it is only a matter of time for Tollywood film to breach the mark.
