Mahesh-Venky's SVSC audio 'The Best' !!

The much-awaited multi starrer flick Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu which has Mahesh Babu and Venkatesh in the lead is going to be the best album composed by music director Mickey J Meyer.

Recollecting his association with producer Dil Raju and the output of SVSC, Mickey said,"Even 1 year after my father's death, I couldn't become normal. When I'm in that situation, Dil Raju encouraged me a lot and gave me the offer to compose music for SVSC which is my first biggie till date. In fact, he is like a godfather to me in the Industry".

"Dil Raju has a great music sense and everyone I try something new, I will make sure that he listens to it. Then he gives me a clarity on what he is expecting from me. That's why, working with him is already very comfortable. The music of SVSC is the best in my career," he added.

While the audio launch of SVSC will be held on December 13 to coincide with Venky's birthday, the film is likely to hit the screens on January 11. Get ready for a rocking album!

Director digging his own grave! !!

Although it's too harsh to make such statement, one gets the same feeling looking at the desperate attempts of director Gunasekhar to make a strong comeback. This fading director has chosen a woman oriented script now and being the producer, he has prepared himself to spend nothing short of Rs 40 crore on it! Why does he want to take such a huge risk when he has a series of flops under his belt?

A film like Damarukam which was made with a budget of over Rs 40 crore with stars Nagarjuna & Anushka failed to recover all of it's investment prior to the release and now due to the average talk, everyone associated with the film including the producer, distributors and buyers will be incurring heavy losses. Then how could Rudrama Devi which has Anushka alone end up making table profits? Seems like Gunasekhar has learnt nothing from the huge failures he tasted due to lavish sets starting from Arjun to Varudu.

When a magnum opus film like Arundathi which has perfect blend of gripping screenplay and breathtaking visuals can be made with a budget of Rs 13 crore, why can't Gunasekhar focus on making Rudrama Devi at least on a moderate budget around Rs 25 crore? Point to be noted!

Producer Leaks Balayya's 100th Film Details !!

The two most special moments in Nandamuri Balakrishna's career may be the release of his 100th film and his entry into electoral politics. As the actor has already declared that he would be contesting the elections from one of the Assembly constituencies, the focus has been now shifted to the landmark film.

A strong buzz in the film circles is that K Raghavendra Rao's son Prakash (Anaganaga O Dheerudu fame) will direct Balayya. However, producer Sai Baba (Sri Rama Rajyam fame) condemned the reports and confirmed that he would be producing Balakrishna's 100th film and the directer will be the one who is quite popular in both Tollywood and Bollywood. He also gave a hint that the director may be a debutant and two foreign beauties have been confirmed to play the female leads. This project which was expected to be made with a high-budget will go to the floors in the first half of 2013.

Speculations about the 100th film might have prompted the producer to leak the information and now it's up to the fans to guess who will be directing Balakrishna's landmark film. Balayya seems to be taking his time to make it a memorable one. For now let's believe the wait is worth it!

Tapsee's alleged boyfriend Mahat Raghavendra (Ajith's Gambler fame - played Bar Owner in the film) who got into a public brawl with Manchu Manoj few months ago declares he isn't friend with the Tollywood actor anymore and also not on talking terms with the actress.

During a recent interview Mahat was asked what was his equation with Manoj and Tapsee after the brawl, then the actor replied,"We no more share a friendship and we aren't childhood buddies either as claimed by Manoj. Whenever we come face-to-face, we are just courteous like 'Hi' and 'Bye'. I'm not on talking terms with Tapsee" .

Manoj has allegedly manhandled Mahat outside a happening bar in June this year. The Kollywood actor filed a complaint against Manoj, but later withdrawn it after a compromise between both the parties.

Akshay And Prabhas Should Stop This !!

One is hunk hero of Tollywood and other one is aged superstar of B-town. Both are said to be doing some common things now, which are looking a bit 'extra' though they may call them as masala elements for fans.

When Prabhas kicks the bonnet of a car with his leg, the front two wheels of the car just bolt out and fly away from their position. And, if Akshay Kumar thumps the jeep of goons with his leg, all those goons just scatter away from the vehicle. Prabhas is doing that stunt for 'Mirchi', while Akshay is performing it for his forthcoming 'Khiladi 786'. Both these stunts look unreal and even fans of our star-heroes are not accepting them. Hitting 100 goons in a style is okay, but these impossible things are somewhat unacceptable these days. So, what our heroes will say about this is something we need to wait for.

On the other hand, Prabhas' Mirchi is said to be moving away from Sankranthi race, as two big flicks including Charan's Naayak and Mahesh-Venky's Seethamma Vaakitlo are hitting the marquee.

Hero admits Love Affair with Actress !!

Not very often does we come across a hero who admits he was in relationship with an actress and that too in South Film Industry. And Vishal is one of those rare finds! "It's true that I had been in relationship with an actress. After sometime things didn't work out as we planned and we broke up. So, I don't want to discuss much about it as people accuse me of craving for publicity," said the actor.

Vishal, however, condemned the reports that he is currently dating actor Sharath Kumar's daughter Varalakshmi who turned actress recently. "We are just childhood friend and known each other since 20 years. There is nothing other than that!," he clarifies.

ROUTINE LOVE STORY Movie Review !!

Movie : ROUTINE LOVE STORY
Rating: 3/5
Cast : Sundeep Kishan, Regina Cassandra, MS Narayana, Vennela Kishore, Tagubothu Ramesh and others
Directed by : Praveen Sattaru
Produced by : Chanakya B
Banner : A Working Dream Production
Music : Mickey J Meyer
Release Date : 2012-11-24



Praveen Sattaru, who made critically acclaimed LBW film is back with Routine Love Story. Sundeep and Regina played the lead roles in the urbane love tale which is targeted at class audiences and youngsters.

What is it about?

Sanjay (Sundeep) and Tanvi (Regina) become friends on a condition that the latter should agree to love the former in six months. After six months feelings towards each other changes and what happens to their love story is what this film is about.

Performances:

Sundeep is natural. He is very good in the confrontation scenes with Regina. He is a decent actor with loads of confidence. Regina is the show stealer. She has good looks and can act well. This combination is a rarity in Telugu films. She can go miles if she picks right films. MS Narayana's comedy is okay and Vennela Kishore did a cameo. Tagubothu Ramesh is fine and rest of the star cast played their parts well.

On the Technical Front:

As this is a love story, the colors are vibrant and it has cool locales. Art department and Camera department gelled well. Dialogues are alright and editing is adequate. Technical crew has been led by Mickey J Meyer's music, which is the major asset for this film. Production values are good.

Director did a decent job in ably handling his resources. He has a different style and approach towards film and that is evident in all the scenes. His debut film scores on the content front and this one falls short of expectations, especially for the people that have seen LBW.

Analysis:

Director opened the story in a funny flashback format which is nice. Hero's approach towards love and Heroine's clarity have been explained well. First half races ahead until the interval point and later on it gets stuck for a while.

This is a typical story that doesn't move ahead and fixes to a point and moves back and forth. Dealing with such subjects is a huge risk. Director challenged himself, but couldn't come out with desired results. Last half hour of the film didn't click as the comedy scenes and the climax backfired.

Despite the short comings, Routine Love Story scores due to the freshness in narration and good performances topped by cool musical score. Audiences who love to watch routine films with different approach can watch it. RLS appeals to young audience.

Verdict: Routine yet Different Love Story

Charan's Lift To Aunty - Fans Unhappy !!

Whatever a star hero does, his fans always take that into their hearts. Any slight missing of judgement will hurt them for sure. Latest thing to happen is to Mega fans who are unhappy with Charan's acts.

Fans are unable to digest the fact that Charan is asking an 'aunty' that if he can give her a lift to home. Not once, but he is asking the same aunty twice about this. This is happening in the recently released Tata Docomo commercial for which Megapowerstar is the brand ambassador. Fans are asking how come Charan accepted to give lift for an aunty, rather insisting for a girl. Maybe the ad-filmmakers might have not thought this way and hence they have kept an aunty character.

Also, some fans say that Ramcharan's sudden exit from Twitter is also a bitter thing for them, as they are not able to hear from their favourite hero often. Let us see what Charan will say about this.
