Saif Ali Khan-Kareena Kapoor wedding: Bebo to wear Sharmila Tagore’s sharara

With less than four months to go for Saif Ali Khan  and Kareena Kapoor's wedding, the bride-to-be’s wedding dress has been finalized. It will be thesharara that Saif’s mom wore on her wedding. 

Continuing the tradition of the royal Pataudi family, Kareena Kapoor has happily agreed to wear the same sharara that Sharmila Tagore wore on her wedding to the late Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi in 1969. 

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor will get hitched on October 16 and the wedding preparations are already said to be underway. Interestingly even though Kareena had a slew of designer friends to choose from to do her wedding outfit, she will respect the tradition of the Khan family by wearing Sharmila Tagore’s sharara

Earlier, it was reported that the sharara will be redone and embellished to give it a modern look, but now Sharmila Tagore has now confirmed that no changes will be made to the dress. 

However, Kareena Kapoor’s favourite Bollywood designer Manish Malhotra will reportedly design her trousseau. 

Saif and Kareena will tie the knot in Pataudi in what could be a registered wedding. Later, there would be a lavish reception thrown in Mumbai for the friends and colleagues from the film industry. 

So far, Saif and Kareena have maintained silence over their wedding plans. It’s only mom Sharmila Tagore who’s been spilling the beans.

Kajal is money minded


While earning lakhs of rupees in South circuits, this seductress is known for praising Bollywood. After her first Hindi flick ‘Singham’ got released, Kajal did all those raunchy things to root her presence in Hindi arena. But, a twist in her decision now!

Earlier Kajal faced the ire of many producers and directors down south for commenting that Bollywood is her top priority. Off late, the sexy girl is rejecting offers from Hindi circuit giving preference to South films. Though she is said to have realized the importance of South industry, the original talk is something different. Provided with the likes of Kareena, Katrina and Anushka Sharma, Kajal is no where a match for them in terms of both acting and glamour.

Interestingly, remuneration offered to this big-eyed beauty by Hindi production houses is very less when compared to what she is ‘sucking’ from South producers. ‘Kajal tried to become an overnight hottie in Hindi circuit with her topless shots. More than a couple of controversies, nothing had fallen in her kitty’, say Cine lovers. A quick glance at all these facts reveal Kajal’s like for money, money and money, which is more from South than North!

No plans to add curves : Tamanna


Tamanna is widely recognized as one of the most glamorous heroines in the Telugu Film Industry and her sizzling show in the film ‘Racha’ is a good example of what she can do. She is all set to star in the remake of Sridevi’s ‘Himmatwala’ and rumour mills are abuzz that Tamanna will gain weight to make herself more ‘curvy’ for the role.

Look within before blaming me, Aamir Khan tells doctors


New Delhi: Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has hit out at doctors who claim his show 'Satyamev Jayate' has tarnished their image. After highlighting social issues affecting Indian society, Aamir Khan, in the fourth episode of his show, turned the spotlight on healthcare and malpractices in the medical profession. He highlighted unethical practices, corruption and scandalous revelations in medical treatment.
Soon after, an umbrella body of 21 medical institutions had asked Aamir to apologize for accusing doctors of malpractices. Medscape India said the representation of malpractices supposedly perpetrated by doctors was 'rather sad' and Aamir Khan should offer his apologies.
In an exclusive interview to CNN-IBN Deputy Editor Sagarika Ghose, the actor has now defended himself strongly against these charges and said that the image of doctors is being tarnished not by his show but by those doctors who continue to engage in unethical practices.
"No injustice was done on the show. Doctors have to look inwards. Some doctors are bringing disrepute to the profession," Aamir said.
Aamir recently appeared before a Parliamentary panel examining FDI in pharmaceuticals sector and pitched for generic medicines, saying companies will continue to make profit if they sell cheap drugs to the poor.
The 47-year-old actor was invited to appear as a witness before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Commerce which is examining the issue of FDI in pharma sector.

'Bad Boy' Karthi


Surely, much is happening on the horizontal mobility front for Karthi. It is with the ambition of making a mark in Andhra Pradesh that he has been active in promoting 'Sakuni' here. All his expectations from 'Malligadu' crashed owing to the film's dismal performance. (After all, it was a 2006 film, which looked way too raw for our audiences).
'Alex Pandiyan' is a big-ticket Tamil film directed by Suraj. KE Gnanavelraja of Studio Green is planning to release this film as 'Bad Boy' in Telugu. He may well outdo Bellamkonda Suresh in going for a mega release of this multi-crore film.
The good news is that Devi Sri Prasad is the music director. If this is not enough, Anushka is playing the female lead. Coming to Karthi's characterization, he will be seen as a self-styled negative personality type in this action-oriented flick.

Samantha to work with Karthi in "Biriyani"?



Actress Samantha is now the most sought after actress in Tollywood and Kollywood. And the fresh buzz in the tinsel town is that the lucky mascot is likely to play the female lead in Karthi's next's film "Biriyani" to be directed by Venkat Prabhu. Reports say that the director is planning to bring this pair for a romantic comedy titled "Biryani". However, the cute actress is yet to give the green signal for Venkat Prabhu.

"Biriyani" it tipped to be a bilingual film to be shot in Telugu and Tamil simultaneously. As such, director Venkat is looking for a familiar face that can lure the audience in both the languages. Samantha is already busy for more than half a dozen films in Telugu and Tamil and, the crew of "Biriyani" needs to wait for some time to get her nod. The film will have music by Yuvan Shankar Raja while Sakthi Saravanan wields the camera.

Pawan Kalyan steals NTR's heart



NTR Says 'PawanKalyan is the real PowerStar'

Pawan Kalyan is one of the very few heroes who care about the wellbeing of other heroes. He doesn't mind to take some pain for other's happiness and it has been proved time and again. Mahesh Babu is still in awe of the Power star for his unconditional support to him during Arjun's piracy episode.

Now it is NTR Jr's turn to become an admirer of Pawan Kalyan's 'big heart'. As per the buzz, NTR's Dammu faced a major issue regarding a location which could have delayed the movie's work by few weeks. But Pawan Kalyan extended his helping hand and didn't let Dammu film to face major trouble.

Dammu team asked producer Ganesh Babu to allow them to shoot first, but fearing the delay of his movie, Ganesh didn't agree to give them the location. Pawan Kalyan came to know about this and asked Ganesh Babu to allow them to have the location first. NTR was bowled over by Power star's helping nature and thanked Pawan personally.

Mahesh Babu Laughs At Word 'Politics'

The bonding between film stars and their fans and the film stars with politics is quite strong in our state. Of course, with each passing day the charisma that senior heroes possessed is not being carried by the new generation heroes. However, prince Mahesh Babu has broken that jinx and today he rules the roost.



In between, there was a strong buzz that Mahesh was being wooed by the Congress party to join them and canvass for them. Given his father and uncle's association with the party, many felt it would happen. However, the first reaction from Mahesh when asked about joining politics is a hearty laughter.
Well, Mahesh is clear that he would never go anywhere near politics. The cine folks say that after seeing the fate of Chiranjeevi anyone having brains would not venture into this dirty field. Given Mahesh's stand on politics, it may be a while before another star will emerge from Tollywood to jump into politics.

Akon to duet with Kajal Agarwal?


Akon to duet with Kajal Agarwal?


Instead of a solo number as planned earlier, international pop star Akon will now be singing a duet for the big-budget Telugu film Baadshah starring Jr NTR and Kajal Agarwal.
The buzz is that the makers are targeting none other than leading lady Kajal to croon along with Akon, in what could be viewed as a promotional gimmick.
Music composer Thamman has contacted the Mumbai team who made possible Akon’s Chammak Challo act in RA.One, and will be flying to Los Angeles on July 4 armed with a foot-tapping tune to rope in the iconic singer.
“Actually, a lot of experimenting is going into this chartbuster. We have discovered a wonderful tune and are now working on the lyrics.
We want to make it easy for Akon to sing the lyrics as Telugu is quite a tough language to grasp. We will play the chosen tune for Akon in July and record the song once he allots the dates to us. We have around seven months’ time,” informs Thamman.
So, will Kajal be joining Akon in the recording room? “We haven’t finalised anyone but we definitely want a top actress to sing with Akon to add to the glam quotient.
Unleashing promotional videos is the need of the hour,” says Thamman adding, “The music will be larger-than-life to befit Jr NTR’s superstar status.”
With changing trends, these days anyone can be turned into a singer. So if Kajal agrees to hop on board for the song (she has already been signed on to play the female lead), all the music producer has to do is use vocal filters and other mastering tools to turn the song into a hit.

Rating: 3.5/5
Banner: Sri Sravanthi Movies
Cast: Ram, Tamannah, Suman, Sayaji Shinde, Rishi, Brahmanandam, Krishna Bhagawan, Raghu Babu and others
Music: G V Prakash
Editing: Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao
Cinematographer: Andrew
Story, screenplay, direction: Karunakaran
Producer: Sravanthi Ravikishore
Release date: 08/06/2012



Story :


Ram (Ram) is a happy go lucky guy who is very mischievous and doesn’t hesitate to lie just to get his way through. His antics cause trouble to his joint family and his father (Sayaji) is always miffed with Ram. On the other hand, Sravanthi (Tamannah), daughter of the Indian diplomat (Suman) lives in Paris. Sravanthi wants to live life freely without any barriers but due to her father’s position, she is always surrounded by security. A small plan by Ram’s father sends him to Paris so that he can learn some responsibility and due to an unexpected event he comes across Sravanthi. However, Sravanthi has a reason to be with Ram and she plans his escape to India. What is that reason? What is the link between Ram and Sravanthi? All this forms the rest of the story.


Performance: 


The tag of Energetic Star that appears in the title cards has been completely justified by Ram. He carries the film with ease and his performance is more matured. His dances are a delight to watch and he has given his 100% for this film. Tamanna is apt in the role and looks, as usual, beautiful. Sijayi Shinde is good, while it is Anu Hassan and Rishi of A Film who have taken the major credit for their roles. Surprising as well as disappointing was Kona Venkat, as his performance was bad.


Technical Analysis :

Cinematography by Andrews is on top-notch and stands out. The entire film was captured quite beautifully. GV Prakash’s composed songs are not up to the mark but the background score is appealing and elevating. Dialogues are good, Editing isn’t crisp and could be trimmed more. Screenplay is weak and Karunakaran failed miserably with narration. Sravanthi Movies production values are rich.



Positives:
Cinematography
Songs
Ram’s dance and Tamannah’s performance

Negatives:

Inconsistent screenplay
Lack of emotional depth in few scenes



Final Verdict  :

Endukante Premanta misses Karunakaran’s brand style!!!

Sakuni Movie Review


Sakuni Movie Review


Cast: Karthi, Pranitha, Prakash Raj, Kota, Nasser and others
Director: Shankar Dayal N
Producer: Bellamkonda Suresh
Written by: Shankar Dayal N
Music: G V Prakash Kumar
Cinematography: PG Muthiah
Editing: A Sreekar Prasad
Banner: Sri Sai Ganesh Productions
CBFC Rating: U/A 
Release date: June 22, 2012 
Rating:     3.25/5


Story:

Kamal Krishna(Karthi) has been born and brought up in a well to do family and they believe in serving people. Chief Minister RK Bhupati (Prakash Raj) passes a GO to build a new fly over because of which Kamal will be losing his ancestral house. To save his house, Kamal leaves to Hyderabad to talk to Railway Minister and convince him. City welcomes Kamal with unexpected twists and lands him in a helpless state. Kamal starts a political game to save his house. Will kamal win the battle ? How will a common man fight against corrupted politicians and its government has to be watched onscreen.



Performances:
Karthi is at his best in the character of Kamal. He gave his best for it but the director failed to use him completely as an actor. His attempt to dub his own voice is commendable. He had put in decent efforts in dancing and fights. His costumes are neat and styling suited to that of a political leader. He has good histrionics and face value which appeal for Telugu audience even though he is a Tamilian and it will do good in the long run in AP.
Pranitha played the character of Sri Devi who is Kamal’s mardalu in the movie. She has very limited screen presence and is okay in them. Radhika, Roja, Prakash Raj, Kota Srinivasa Rao are good in the limited roles they are offered. Santhanam’s comedy track is good and had almost equal screen presence to hero in the first half.




Technical Analysis :

Cinematography is an asset and quite appealing. All the songs are colorfully picturised though GV Prakash’s music was mediocre. Background score was alright. Sreekar Prasad’s editing could have been much better trimming down the unwanted scenes in the initial half. Dialogues are good and entertaining. Direction by Shankar Dayal is not upto the mark. Production Values are rich.


Analysis :

Sakuni is a political drama and few of the episodes are targeted on the current happenings in politics which makes an interesting plot. But Shankar Dayal could not make it much exciting with quite slow paced narration. Though the first half had a good entertainment in parts, the narration is slow and the actual story begins only before 15 minutes of the interval with Radhika entrance. Few of the scenes like the satires on the current political systems and the schemes the parties offer will gel well with the audiences. However, there are major loopholes in the script and director has taken too many liberties. Despite the appreciable story, the faltered screenplay and the confusing narration with an abrupt climax plays the spoilsport for Sakuni. Karthi, Sanathanam, Radhika’s performances, the storyline are the positive points while the weak screenplay and slow paced narrations becomes the negatives of Sakuni.

Positives:
Karthi performance
He shoulders the movie admirably and gives a very convincing performance. Full Marks!
Santhanam comedy
Anushka and Roja have small cameos and it is good to see Anushka after a long time on the big screen 

Negatives:
Weak screenplay
The songs act as mere speed breakers and their placement in the movie could have been better.


Final Verdict :

Impressive plot executed with weak screenplay.
Sakuni is a political entertainer that is worth watching once for a sparkling performance from Karthi and an entertaining second half
