Jr NTR gets competion in TDP ?

0

There are no two words in saying that in Andhra Pradesh, fans for big heroes are formed not due to their acting prowess but mostly due to their caste and family background. And by far, the Nandamuri family has been tagged as the hot favorites for the Kamma community and many fans are formed purely out of that criterion.
However, it is now heard that Junior NTR who enjoyed a strong following over the past few years is now seeing a recession. Sources say when feeling came that Jr NTR is trying to prove his supremacy and is damaging the Telugu Desam Party, the hardcore Nandamuri fans have not been taking it sweetly.
So, it is heard that they are now shifting their base towards another lad. He is none other than Nara Rohit, son of Chandrababu Naidu’s brother. The last few months has revealed that fans have been shifting their loyalty to Rohit and are supporting him. Recently, Rohit’s birthday celebration looked more like a TDP party event than anything else. Wonder what NTR will do to make amends.

Chanchal Guda Jail turns Power Center

Jails are meant for hardcore criminals and murderers. However with the emergence of corruption and political power brokers, highly notorious Chanchal Guda jail seems to be turning out to be a powerful ‘Power Center’ . Chanchal Guda jail turned to be a virtual fortress with VIP and VVIPs who with their deeds shot to fame becoming its inhabitants.They included till recently Ramalinga Raju of Satyam Computers and now Matrix Labs Nimmagadda Prasad. The jail is currently decorated by former minister Mopidevi Venkata Ramana, Kadapa MP YS.Jagan Mohan Reddy and all powerful Bellari MLA Gali Janardhana Reddy. They are waiting to accord grand welcome to some more of their colleagues who are waiting in queue.
Chanchalguda Jail also suits powerful political brokers at center and state to get into secret pacts and deals escaping the media limelight whose journalists always spy on them when out of jail. None of the pacts and deals can be caught on investigative spy cams of journalists and will not raise suspicion or attract the attention of general public.People should not be unduly surprised if the aftermath of 2014 general elections throw stunning political alliances or pacts.Politicians and celebrities who understand the importance of powerful people present at Chanchal Guda jail are getting in their good books visiting them frequently. That was the reason why even President aspirants overtly and covertly sought the support of some people in Jail.

Cunning Center playing with ‘T’-Fire

When ever people of Telangana expect some positive developments and path breaking announcements on formation of the state from the Center, some or the other developments across the country stalls any possible positive developments. Telangana politicians and people expected some sort of announcement after the completion of President elections. but however Maratha strong man Sharad Pawar gave ‘Power’full stroke to UPA led Congress government at Center. Congress High Command got completely engrossed in appeasing Pawar and later got convenient excuse to send message to its representatives of Telangana that it was busy sorting out issues with NCP at State and Center. Once that problem was solved Assam started exploding with insurgents using violence to drive away locals.
Already Congress at Center is delaying the formation of Telangana, citing Mulayam,Mamata and other allies who are opposed to the division as it will bring in more such demands in states in which they are the main players. Now it seems even developments in the Country are not in favor of Telangana people and Center turning cunning taking telangana people for a ride. Political bosses at center feel that stage managing incidents across various parts of the country, people an be taken for a ride. However if people know its true colors of Congress at Center then they will teach a fitting lesson in the next elections. They should understand that they are playing with T-fire and making some of its MPs like Madhu Yashki utter some violent pro telangana statements will not save it from defeat.

It is no exaggeration in saying that Salman Khan had made it a habit of breaking records with his movies. His next movie ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ is gearing up for release for this Eid. Eid has been a special season for Salman Khan as his previous movies Wanted, Ready, Bodyguard, released during Eid and went on to become huge hits.
In an interview, when asked if his Bodyguard records will be toppled this Eid, the actor tried to sound modest, he said, “Actors don’t do movies to break records. The idea is always to make a film with utmost sincerity. Records get made and broken because of statistics. The numbers of theatres that play Bollywood movies globally have increased; the release of films is now very wide. Naturally the returns have increased. Frankly from now on, I want all films to start crossing the ` 200 cr mark.”

Will NTR put an end to all the doubts?

0

NTR’s loyalist and Gudivada MLA Kodali Nani switched his loyalty from TDP to YSRC which gave rise to ire among party cadre and Nandamuri fans. It was so severe that the actor had to come out and given an explanation that he is no longer connected with people who are not with TDP. In view of the recent political developments within the party, a majority of Nandamuri loyalists have not only disowned Nani but also is not happy with the actor due to this issue.
However, this developments do not go well with TDP Supreme Chandra Babu Naidu who knows the unity of Nandamuri family is necessary for the party’s survival. Speculations are rife that TDP supreme Chandra Babu Naidu is keeping his 100% efforts to bring Babai Balayya and Abbayi NTR on the same dais and clear all the doubts. Balakrishna’s upcoming movie Srimannarayana audio launch will take place on 6th August. NTR will be in the city by that time returning from abroad. Naidu is trying to make NTR attend the event. Ball is now in NTR’s court to dispel doubts.

Why Botsa Does not Care VH ‘Deeksha’

0

The Mouna Deeksha (silent protest) of Congress senior leader and Rajya Sabha member Hanumanta Rao has stirred a serious discussion in Congress circles.VH has chosen Gandhi Bhavan, headquarters of the party to launch his protest. Still, there was no response from the Pradesh Congress President Botsa Satyanarayana for the Deeksha.Why has Botsa chosen to remain silent on the protest of his senior colleague?
In fact, senior Congress leaders had expected Botsa to go to Gandhi Bhavan and make him give up his protest. However the party chose to send the Deputy Chief Minister to VH to make him give up the protest.It is learnt that Botsa had discussed about VH’s protest in the privacy of his residence with party senior leaders including Mohd. Ali Shabbir. It is being said that it was decided in that meeting that Botsa should not go to VH as he had described the Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy as the covert of Y S Jaganmohan Reddy. It was felt that if he went to Gandhi Bhavan and tried to make VH give up the fast, it would lead to other political speculations.
Several Congress leaders were stunned when VH, who is also the secretary of AICC called the Chief Minister a covert of Kadapa MP.This is the reason why some Congress MLAs have complained to the party high command that the Deeksha of Hanumantha Rao was an anti-party activity.
Hanumantha Rao has not grown as a leader despite his being in the good books of the Indira Gandhi family. Except for one term in the Assembly when he was made minister, he could never win a direct election. He was always sent to the upper house of Parliament meant for intellectuals, despite his not being very much educated. His lack of education and ability to speak in English deprived him of a berth in the central cabinet. However, T Anjaiah could become the Chief Minister and central minister with the same limitations. But he was a mass leader. He was seldom defeated in direct elections. This being the difference, Hanumantha Rao could neither become the Chief Minister nor the central minister. His growth stopped at becoming the PCC Chief once.
Not being able to assume any important role in the government, Hanumantha Rao has assumed the role of a permanent dissident. As long as Dr. Rajasekhara Reddy was alive, he remained a dissident. After his death, he started spewing venom at his son Y S Jaganmohan Reddy. He is the man who has influenced the Congress high command that Congress should disown YSR and a tirade against Jagan would endear the party to the people. This formula of his has proved to be fatal and became the chief reason for the rout of Congress in the recent by-elections. Now VH has chosen to directly attack Kiran Kumar Reddy as he had simply done what he had to do as the Chief Minister – allow Vijayamma to exercise her constitutional right of visiting Sircilla in Karimnagar district.

Chandrababu Strategy towards T- issue

When Lord Shiva opens his third eye, it is destruction. Anything in view turns into ashes. Manmadha (Cupid) the God of Love has turned into ashes when he tried to ignite love in Lord Shiva towards Parvati.Has the TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu opened his third eye now on Telangana?This is the question being discussed in political circles now.
Chandrababu has become infamous for his two-eye theory on Telangana. He has described Telangana and Seemandhra regions as his two eyes. This was described by Telangana protagonists as a ploy to scuttle the Telangana process.
Now when strong advocates of Telangana inside the TDP were bringing pressure on Naidu to give a fresh letter consenting to the bifurcation of the state, his party’s Rayalaseema leader Baireddy Rajasekhara Reddy has said if the state was to be divided, it should be three states, dividing even Rayalaseema.
This new slogan of the TDP leader is being seen as the third eye of Naidu by his opponents. TRS leaders are openly charging Naidu of opening his third eye, to undo the process of creation of Telangana. They point out that the center would take this fresh demand for the Rayalaseema as an excuse to once again put the Telangana issue in cold storage.

Oonamalu Movie Review – 3.5/5

Rating : 3.5/5
Movie : Onamalu
Directed by :Kranthi Madhav
Produced by : Kranthi Madhav, K. Durga Devi
Written by : Thammudu Sathyam
Starring : Rajendra Prasad, Kalyani
Music by : Koti
Cinematography : Hari Anumolu

Story:
Onamalu revolves around a village. Narayana Rao master (Rajendra Prasad) grows as an orphan in a village and completes his education taking help of villagers. And join as a teacher in the same village. His children settle in America and he leaves to America. He does not digest the culture and returns to the same village, He recollects all the sweet memories of his village while travelling from the airport in a car to his place with a view that Village people will have the same old mindsets and they give importance to human relationship But, for a surprise he find people with completely changed mentalities. As Mahatma Gandhi said “India lives in its villages” . How our Narayan Master will enlighten the people? And what all changes he brings in their lives? …is the story.
Performance:
For Rajendra Prasad it is a cake walk, he already proved in earlier films like Aa Naluguru and Mee Sreyobhilashi. He is the obvious choice for the role.Kalyani in wife role does a very good job and they make a fine pair. Raghu Babu is adorable as Erramanzil and credible performances from Chalapati Rao and Siva Parvati.
Technical:
Lyrical beauty adds to the greenery and also describes the pathos and pain the master undergoes. Director Kranti Madhav’s narration exudes sincerity, honesty and sense of purpose. He hasn’t left any lesson untouched, those ignorant can learn a few and the learned ones can go through them once again. The strength of the film is the dialogue writer and the cinematographer. Koti music is pleasant.
Analysis:
Onamaalu is not a movie as much as it is a string of little vignettes – if the first half is about showcasing incidents of goodness in the picture-perfect rural community, the second half is all about how life has “degraded”. It’s all about painting a picture with individual elements in place, with little emphasis on making this a free-flowing story.
While the word ‘commercial cinema’ is order of the day, any poster that has an artiste, dressed as a senior citizen in dhoti and kurta, bespectacled is bound to keep youth away but…give it a thought why Rajendra Prasad and why not someone? Rajendra Prasad must have been an obvious choice after Aa Naluguru and Mee Sreyobhilashi in Onamalu that revolves around a village.The intention of the director is very clear, he shows the ideal village in India where air is pure and people don’t think twice in feeding people. The philosophy behind the thought is simple, just keep feeding and God will ensure you are never short of food.
Verdict:
A True film…Dont Miss

‘Rulers’of the State!

0
The word ‘Ruler’ has the royal look and has been immensely popularised by Boyapati Sreenu with his song in Yong Tiger NTR’s mass entertainer ‘Dammu’. Some film makers even thought of making film with ‘Ruler’ as title. The above heading ‘Rulers’ of the state look synonymous to Hollywood super hit film ‘Enemies of the State’. Many even say that the saying are true considering the fact that more than 90 percent of present day politicians are entangled in one scam or another or have corruption or criminal charges against them with court proceedings going on. However they take refuse in the saying that no person is criminal unless until proven guilty and in out country where court proceedings even beat snail’s pace, justice will not only be delayed but also denied.
State of Andhra Pradesh is lucky enough to have innumerous rulers running the Government. They include IAS/IPS officers, cabinet ministers, MLAs, MPs and even second rung politicians excluding the Chief Minister. They show their power in issuing powerful political statements without action. Instigate students against each other or religion against each other and enjoy the fruits of unrest in the name of vote banks. This resulted in them enjoying ‘Power’ while entire Andhra Pradesh deprieved of ‘Power’. How common man deal with them in the next elections has to be seen.

TDP’s Gen x battles for Leadership !

TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu who is grappling for a breather from growing dissent and busy trying to stem outflow of his cadres or leaders towards his rival parties is trying his best to revive the party by winning over the confidence of people and the cadre. He already roped in Natasimha Balakrishna to add glamor and hope that his powerul speeches and image as son of NTR will help him in the long run. He is also nurturing dreams of making his son Lokesh as his heir apparent.
However all this may not be easy cake walk for Naidu or Lokesh even with the support of Natasimha Balakrishna as he will definitely face severe opposition from Young Tiger NTR who enjoys immense mass following in the state and his dad Hari Krishna. Currently they are lying low biding their time to strike resounding blow at the right moment.
Chandra Babu feels Lokesh with his overseas education and net savvy nature just like him may revive the party implementing what he learnt overseas in the party as well as for the benefit of the people of Andhra Pradesh. However his lack of popularity in masses is his main draw back which happen to be the strengh of young tiger NTR. He may be lacking political acumen which is the forte of CBN, but with experience he can turn really wily and tough nut to crack. One has to wait and watch who will be victorious in this gripping battle of wits between Lokesh and NTR.

CBI proves to be Real Cuprit ?

Ever since CBI was entrusted with Jagan’s disproportionate assets case, many suspicions were raised on its motives and the manner of its functioning.While CBI chief JD.Lakshminarayana was made overnight hero by entire media who was against Jagan from the beginning based on his actions, while Jagan’s supporters lashed out at them accusing the chief dancing to the tunes of his political bosses.
The entire case investigation took a new turn when YSRCP using fraudulent means got in its possession and revealed minutes of JD’s interactions with select media and even more selective leaks on the progress of the investigation of Jagan’s case. If JD.Lakshminarayana interacted in similar manner with entire media without discriminating the media as Jagan’s supporters and detractors, then there wouldn’t have been such hue and cry.
Many times Supreme Court on various issues pointed out that investigations should be done in a secretive and seclusive manner without leading vital information which may effect the investigation. This was not practiced by CBI and its chief. CBI is once again acting in high handed manner not replying to the exact necessity for long duration interactions with select media but going on arrest spree in an vindictive manner. If anyone is responsible for spurge in sympathy for Jagan, it is CBI which is the main culprit.

Nagarjuna Meets Nimmagadda Prasad with ‘Prasadam’

0
Hero Nagarjuna has once again met industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad in the Chanchalguda jail on Friday. Nagarjuna who recently went to Shirdi and placed the audio cassette of his film ‘Shirdi Sai’ at the Samadhi of Baba, gave Prasadam brought from Shirdi to his friend Prasad.This is the second time for Nagarjuna to meet Nimmagadda. He has earlier met him on June 30th.
Reports said earlier that Nagarjuna had invested in the controversial Vanpic project. A noted English newspaper wrote that the hero had invested heavily in the Matrix Enport Holdings company, which had undertaken the Vanpic project. The paper cited the annual financial report the company had submitted to the Registrar of Companies, in which Nagarjuna’s name was mentioned as one of the stake holders. The report mentioned that Nagarjuna owned 2 lakh shares of the value of Rs. 10 each. The report also said that Nagarjuna had tried to take back his shares after Nimmagadda was arrested. Nimmagadda, Nagjuna and Chiranjeevi own 80 percent of the shares in the Telugu TV channel MAA TV. Thirty percent of these shares were purchased by Sony Pictures Telivision in April. Nimmagadda Prasad is the chairman of MAA TV.
It may be mentioned here that Nimmagadda Prasad was arrested on allegations that he had indulged in irregularities in distribution of compensation for land acquired for the Vanpic project. He is also facing charges of investing in the companies of the YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, in return for undue favours received from his father Y S Rajasekhara Reddy when he was the Chief Minister.
