Rajinikanth gets 24 cr for Rana

Rajinikanth fans, the world over, are immersed in prayer. Ever since the Tamil superstar and one of Asia's most famous actors landed himself in a Singapore hospital with a kidney ailment, the South industry is deeply concerned.

Rubbishing rumours of a kidney transplant, the superstar's son-in-law and this year's National Award winning actor Dhanush told media persons that, "The superstar is fine. He will be out of hospital in a week or in 10 days. And, he will start shooting for Rana."

Ironically on one side, Rajini's health is of prime concern. And on the other side, the trade is talking about how Rajinikanth has reportedly been paid 24 crores as just his first installment on Rana. A source says, "Rajini Sir is still India's highest paid actor. Besides the reported 24 cr that he has already received, the family will also have a stake in the IPR because Rajini's second daughter Soundarya is a partner in the project."

Meanwhile, Dhanush who is Rajini's elder son-in-law (married to the superstar's daughter Aishwarya) has in recent times become the official spokesperson for the family. Many in Chennai see him as the "son" of the superstar. He is the one to whom the film industry and Rajini's fans have been turning to for the latest updates on the ailing star's health.

Kamal Haasan's Challenge To Rajinikanth!!

The film industry is one place where cat fights, ego clashes are common even among nobodies. But here is one example that goes to prove how the industry has those few good men.

We are talking about the duo of Kamal Haasan and his arch-rival but very good friend Rajinikanth.

Sources say when Rajini was admitted in Chennai hospital, he was visited by a few but notable among them was Kamal Haasan.

Hospital folks reveal how Kamal cheered Rajini up and stated that it is due to Rajini’s growing efficiency that Kamal has to work hard to be better than him. Kamal reportedly told that he is positive about Rajini recovering quickly and getting back to shooting ‘Rana’.

However, he quipped that ‘Rana’ would be another big film and that will trigger Kamal to do something even better than Rajini. This kind of friendly competition and challenge motivated Rajini and it seems he is even more determined to recover soon and get back to work. Hats off to Kamal and Rajini!!

Rajinikanth - What a Simple Human Being.

Is this Super Star Rajni Kanth? Yes, no doubt but true. How can he live life so simple in these many instances? Even earlier many of his pics have come out those carry no glam or grandeur. This is the latest picture where he is coming out from a Church in Chennai after offering a prayer.
 
He even doesn’t look like a film actor and as per the matter of fact he is the man who is ruling millions of hearts with his trade mark dialogue punch and star power. He is the renowned actor not just in Indian Cinema but also has huge fan following in countries like Japan, Korea (the natives of those countries those have no roots in India) as well.
 
Some say he is simple because he gets value for that simplicity since he is super star. Many say that he is Super Star because he is simple at heart!

Ravi Teja 'Veera' Review: Outdated Action -Weak Comedy

Rating: 2/5
Banner: Sanvi Productions
Cast: Ravi Teja, Kajal, Taapsee, Shyam, Roja, Nasser, Brahmanandam, Ali, Venu Madhav, Divya Vani, Krishnudu
Music: S S Thaman
Cinematography: Chota K Naidu
Dialogues: Paruchuri Brothers
Story, screenplay, direction: Ramesh Varma
Producer: Ganesh Indukuri
Release date: 20/05/2011

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja is back after his successful ‘Mirapakaya’ and this time, he has teamed up with Ramesh Varma of ‘Ride’ fame. Let us see how this is

Story:
ACP Shyamsunder (Shyam) is a tough and honest cop who gets into a tussle with the local don (Rahul Dev).

The don threatens Shyam’s family and the police department arranges for the family’s security. In comes Veera (Ravi Teja) as the protector and he mixes with the family but Shyam’s wife (Sridevi) doesn’t like him.

Meanwhile, there is Aikey (Taapsee) who falls for Veera and tries to woo him with Tiger (Brahmi) trying to cause trouble. The story takes a turn when Shyam discovers that Veera is not the real security officer. Who is Veera? Why does he come to help Shyam and his family? What happens to Aikey’s love story? All this forms the rest of the story.

Performances: 
Ravi Teja has given an energetic and intense performance. He has done justice in all scenes and infused life into his character.

Kajal Agarwal looks alright. Unlike her previous films which give her a sensuous and classy look, she looks rather rustic in this one. She has increased the glamour dose.

Taapsee is a visual feast as usual and scores with her oomph factor. She must try and control her facial expressions as she ends up overdoing at times.

Shyam looks handsome and though his role is limited, he made his presence felt. He fits the bill like a cop and his body language is assertive.

Sridevi looks naturally sweet but she was unable to give contained expressions during emotional scenes, it looked superficial.

Pradeep Rawath was loud, Divya Vani was irritating, Brahmi’s comedy was childish, Venu Madhav was okay, Roja came and went, Nasser was natural. The others did their bit as required.

Highlights:

• Cinematography
• Glamour quotient of Kajal, Taapsee
• Chitti Chitti song choreography
• Chinnari Chinni Navvu, a bit song

Drawbacks

• Outdated storyline
• Heavy overdose of weak sentiment
• Crass comedy
• Pale Dialogues
• Spineless narrative
• Dragged second half

Analysis:
A film has to make people hysterical with the narration- be it comedy or tragedy or action. Only then the audiences connect to film forgetting the surroundings. When the audiences start looking into each others’ faces to share pain with dullness, that itself proves to be a debacle.

There is always a fine line between coming up with a good script and getting it the right way on the screen. As such, the theme of the film was appealing but the director failed to get it onscreen in a convincing manner. While the emotional situations lacked strength, the serious scenes reminded of few other movies.

Technically and production wise, the standard is not compromised but content and the way it was executed plays the spoilsport. Though the pace was maintained, there was not enough grip on the script to get the audience into the film.

Calling husband with the word ‘penimiti’ sounds odd and disgusting with its old flavor. Paruchuri Brothers lost power in their pen for sure. Ravi Teja appears weak with his pale love track with Kajal. On the other hand he comes as a elderly village men and fights with antagonists. The main crux of the movie should be dealt in second half but the director over loaded the theme with number of emotions and characters. Hence he failed to make it gripping. The scenes those were kept as suspense weren’t revealed interestingly and the suspense hold itself is not gripping. The comedy scenes between Ravi Teja and Brahmanandam also fail to bring adequate laughs.

Nothing is gripping in this movie except the 5 minutes before interval. And again the bumpy journey starts till the end.

Overall, this is a film which gives a stale taste of boredom even to the masses. At the box office, chances of success are highly unlikely.

Bottomline: Gives boredom and tiresomeness

   

'Dussasana' Review: Third Degree Torture (Worse Movie)

Film: Dussasana
Rating: 0/5
Banner: Laughing Lords Entertainment
Cast: Srikanth, Tashu Kaushik, Sanjjanaa, Kota, Tanikella Bharani, Krishna Bhagvan, Brahmanandam and others
Music:Srilekha
Camera: A Raja
Director: Posani Krishnamurali
Producer: Murali Krishna
Release date: 27/05/2011


Mental Krishna is back!! Yes, we are talking about Posani Krishna Murali and this time he has come up with yet another creative thought of his. Whether it was creative or crap let us see.

Story:
A man dressed like Che Guevara keeps walking in the streets and does few weird things in the name of justice. He calls himself common man (Srikanth) and despite his weird antics, the police can’t do much. In no time, the media gets their coverage on him and so does the public with their problems.

The common man becomes the messiah and he goes around slippering the ministers (Kota, Tanikella, Chalapathi Rao). Not stopping at that, he also kidnaps the Chief Minister’s daughter (Sanjjanaa) along with a news correspondent Sunitha (Tashu Kaushik).

The matter goes to the CM and enquiry about common man begins. Who is this common man? Why is he going around like a madman and why is the law not stopping him? All this forms the rest of the story.

Performances:
Srikanth has only two expressions – blank and crying. He keeps walking like a robot and when he will get mood no one knows. Given his image, it is time he realises that these are not the roles for him.

Tashu Kaushik was expressive and despite her brief screen time, she makes her presence felt. She has shown potential.

Sanjjanaa was glamorous but she is yet to improve on her acting skills. 

Kota was predictable, Tanikella was not used to his fullest, Brahmanandam was impish, Chalapathi Rao was regular, the actress doing Srikanth’s wife role was pretty. Krishna Bhagawan was okay, Kondavalasa was brief, Balayya was matured. The others didn’t have much to offer.

Highlights

• None!!!

Drawbacks

• Illogical storyline
• Disgusting and intolerable emotional scenes
• Crazy characterisation of protagonist
• Mindless logic for sending a message

Analysis
It is an open fact that Posani is crazy and with each passing day his insanity is reaching its peak. That is once again seen in his latest flick. Picking half knowledge of law and adding his own theories to it, Posani comes up with some constipating theme much to the torture of the audience.

Some of the classic examples for his madness are - CM’s daughter giving interview to TV news channel in swim costume, Hero walking with the dead body of his wife on streets, Minister and family taking mugs and going to the roads for toilet, Minister forced to drink drainage water from tap and many more. Shameless portrayal of scenes and crass logic are Posani’s specialties. Usually if few members rape one person it is gangrape but what do you call a single person raping the entire set of audience.

There will not be a single audience who will come out of the theatre without feelings of disgust, frustration, embarrassment and torture. While the first half freaks the viewer out of his wits thanks to the portrayal of the protagonist, the second half adds more to the madness by some ‘mind blowing’ sequences. Overall, this is one film which will take tons of guts and nerves of iron to watch and come out in one piece.

Bottomline: Shocking than mental asylum, painful than third degree torture

Hero Varun Sandesh Trying for Six Pack

The six pack mania seems to be still on and while the top league heroes have already done their part, here is another layer of stars who are gearing up for it. Already, there is news that actor Sunil would be flashing his six pack in the new movie which is currently in shooting.
 
It looks he will now be joined by another person. That is none other than Varun Sandesh. Sources say the lean and lanky lad has decided to go in for the dream abs. However, he will be looking to put on some mass on his body first and then convert it into a six pack, as per sources.
 
Another update is that Varun is reportedly consulting a fitness specialist and a workout trainer in order to follow the right kind of diet, exercises. If all goes well, we might be seeing this lean hero become a large size hero with a six pack ab. Let us hope these six packs bring some success at the box office.

Rajinikanth out of ICU, moved into private ward

Actor Rajinikanth, who was being treated at the intensive care unit (ICU) of Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre (SRMC), was shifted back to his private ward on Sunday.

Doctors at the hospital said he responded well to treatment. "We moved him into the ward only after making sure he was completely fit. Hope we can discharge him soon," said a senior doctor.

The 61-year-old cine idol was admitted to the hospital on Saturday after he complained of breathlessness. He was diagnosed and treated for recurrent respiratory illness and gastro intestinal disorders at a private ward, a suite on the seventh floor of the hospital. On May 18, he was shifted to the intensive care unit, where he underwent dialysis. Doctors diagnosed that he had too much fluid in his blood. They put him through haemodialysis, and also removed fluid surrounding his chest that was pressing against the lungs and causing difficulty in breathing. He was given oxygen at regular intervals, pumped with antibiotics and transfused blood.

On May 19, senior cardiologist Dr S Thanikachalam, who was heading a team of specialists treating Rajini, said he responded well to treatment. Since then Rajinikanth was on normal diet. But doctors restricted visitors to the intensive care unit as anxious fans continued to crowd the hospital. The fans were constantly assured that the actor was responding well to treatment.

On May 21, a picture of Rajinikanth, dressed in blue hospital attire with his daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth in the ICU, did the rounds on all micro blogging websites. His son-in-law Dhanush kept fans updated on Rajinikanth's health condition. The first news about Rajini being shifted to the ward came from Dhanush on Sunday. A release from the hospital said he was cheerful and was spending time with all the family members, watching IPL matches. It also said his vital parameters were stable.

He was admitted to the St Isabel's hospital in Mylapore on April 29 and was discharged the same day. Doctors said he was dehydrated and exhausted. On May 4, he was back in the same hospital. Doctors treated him for allergic bronchitis and diarrhoea.
