Anushka's ....Arundhati Mark In Tollywood History

It is not often that you see a movie arriving with a less noise and creating a deafening impact on the audience that the reverberations of it would be felt for a long time. The Telugu film history has seen such movies very rarely and notable among them were flicks like 'Khaidi' 'Geetanjali' 'Siva' 'Pokiri' etc..

Now, here is one film that seems to be creating a new league of blockbuster successes and it is none other than 'Arundhati'. Apparently, reports have been arriving from all corners about the outcome of this movie and there graphs are falling of nothing less than a blockbuster for this flick.

Analysts are saying that 'Arundhati' will create an everlasting impact on the markets and it surely has been named as a cult film given its offbeat genre, the world class standard of graphics and the remarkable performances of the lead cast. This is a really good news for the ailing Tollywood industry.

Nayanatara's GamE PlaN For Artificial Demand

There are times when competition and the will to stay the best can lead some of the best and the top most stars to come down to some really amateur publicity stunts. Now, sources in Kollywood are saying that something like that has been done by the hot Malayalam beauty Nayantara.

It is known news that Nayan has been reeling through a spate of flops and it is also known that recently, her fans built a temple in Tamilnadu. But now, a new talk has emerged that the entire 'temple' episode is actually a staged one and it was in fact Nayan who got it all done but was pretending it to be her fans' act.

While those who know Nayan personally are denying that she would never stoop to such levels, there are those who strongly vouch that it was indeed Nayan's idea so that this would generate some mileage for her. Wonder what Nayan has to say to all this

Ileana IS MissinG

She is known as perhaps the only actress who has the most seductive and sensuous hips that one has ever seen and true to her shape, enough dialogues have been written on her beautiful assets in movies. Though she hails from Goa, she has found Telugu to be her home and is the ruling queen of Tollywood.

Her name is Ileana but now, things seem to have changed for her and her graphs seem to be dwindling. After having walked out of superstar Rajinikanth's 'Sultan-the Warrior' since her fee demand was not met, Ileana had been trying hard for a breakthrough in Kollywood which did not happen.

With the increasing demand for Nayantara, Trisha and slowly but surely Anushka in the circuit, it sure looks like Ileana might have an uphill task on her hand to prove herself. For now, it is being said that Ileana is not to be seen around and she is now recuperating from her injury at her residence in Goa.

Review

Story

Sampath (Allari Naresh) is an orphan who works in a gym center. He hates love between a young man and young girl and keeps on opposing that in public. This catches the attention of an arrogant rich girl Meghna (Madalasa Sharma) who challenges her friends that she could pull him in love and make him a puppet around her. Her attempts fail all the while. Then she falls in his love in real. But still he denies her. Then Meghna takes the help of her brother to convince Sampath. In a surprising incident when Meghna's brother approaches Sampath, latter kills the former. Why he killed? What are his motives? That forms the rest of the story. It ended up as an age old revenge drama.

Artists Performance:

Allari Naresh didn't leave his trade mark style of dialogue delivery and instant punches but since the film happened to be a serious flick, the scope for humor is less. But Naresh got a scope to portray seriousness and revenge this time.

Madalasa Sharma is like any other Mumbai girl. She has delivered average performance. She is there for glamour in full dose indeed.

Chandra Mohan and Sudha are there for melodrama and Saira Banu is there for a long pathetic episode. Sayaji Shinde maintained mannerism of singing songs from old films as per situation.

Others are just ok. Music is above average a couple of songs 'Tappusodara..', 'Vennelavo..' really pleased the ears.

Dialogues by Tadi Balaram and Satish Vegesna are apt and rightly grooved in.

Appearance of lyricist Vanamali before a song in his real-time character is interesting.

EVV has chosen an outdated narration, although the subject is universal.

Final Analysis:

It's like tasting sour in the name of sweet. The title 'Fitting Master' with Allari Naresh in it would obviously give an impression that it is an out and out comedy entertainer. But it is not so. It's blended with melodrama, weeps, shouts, fights and all sorts of ingredients that a serious film possesses. Although the maker of the movie attempted to give a message to today's youth those are falling in love and marrying without the consent of parents, the title and expectation didn't match. It is true that audiences those love to laugh on the occasion of festival will walk into theatres to watch this film. But they will be disappointed for watching a serious movie with scattered comedy.

And it is not a film for Allari Naresh, at this juncture. Although EVV tried to bring an image make over for Naresh, this film didn't serve the purpose as it's made with obsolete content.

The film may get some initial mileage in B, C centers but on a whole it cannot be considered a wholesome entertainer.

Chit Chat with Ram

Devadas, Jagadam and Ready, two out of three having achieved tremendous success, the hero of all these films, Ram, is sitting pretty much a threat to the established ones and is expected to give a run for their money. Post, the successful ‘Ready’ MS Raju signed him for ‘Maska’ which after careful carving by B Gopal is scheduled to get released on January 14, a Sankranthi release. In this happy occasion Ram had a chat and some excerpts are

You are acting in a film called Maska. But do you practice Maska?

Yes! (heartily laughs) Whatever the short comings I had in applying ‘Maska’ in the beginning of the shooting, I got them corrected and became a ‘Master of Maska’ by the time the shooting ended. I now apply Maska to everybody.

What is the significance of Maska? Why the story wanted it?

Well! This is ‘Maska’ from your side. (laughs) Don’t expect me to fall for it. Story has to be understood by watching the film.

You have worked with many top heroines. Is there anyone who you find impressive off screen?

Sorry, I’m not game for such off screen business.

Do you feel that it will be yet another Bobbili Raja as the director claims?

Yes! I remember my elders saying that I was fascinated by the song ‘Balapampatti’ and I was just three years old when Bobbili Raja was released. It had such an impact on the people, particularly children. Similarly we all expect this movie also to create an impression and the word ‘Maska’ is another attraction.

What do you feel about heroines?

The movie needed two heroines and hence we selected Hansika and Sheela. Initially we had some apprehensions about Sheela. But later she did extremely well in the short time she had to perform. Hansika’s acting need not be described as she has already proved and also has a lengthy role to do in this film.

Can you say something about your experience with the director B Gopal?

Fortunately I’ve an extra experience on film-making due to my constant association with our home productions. Thus I know the director’s positive and negative points. In the case of B Gopal I understood his abilities to do mass as well as youth kind of movies. He is a gem of a person with very good understanding.

What is you association with producer MS Raju?

My association with MS Raju goes a long way. Infact, his son Sumanth and I are treated equally. He had shown keen interest in producing my first film which got stalled due to other projects. Now with success of Ready he had taken firm action to do a movie quickly with me as a lead hero. And you are seeing ‘Maska’ now.

Have you created a niche for you with success in Ready?

See, I’ve given my best in Maska as I did in Ready and infact have learnt a bit of betterment and applied here. I will not disappoint the audience if there is any special expectation from me.

Can you tell us about your further programme?

Director Saravanan is keeping me busy for a project under my home productions. As of now further projects have not yet been firmed up.
