Katrina Kaif, chiknni chameli and Agneepath...lets see how it rocks...!!

With close to three million views on Youtube in just five days, ‘Chikni Chameli’, the Bollywood tadka rendered by Bollywood beauty Katrina Kaif for Dharma Productions Agneepath, is already creating waves across the industry. The actress has spread her sizzling magic again – ‘Chikni Chameli’ has become the Number One song on radio in the major markets in India, Number 1 on Nokia Ovi Store, No 1 on online streaming sites like Saavn.com and Gaana.com, No 2 in the charts of India’s biggest retail music store chain – Planet M. As Chikni Chameli in Agneepath‘s item song, Katrina has proved that she is capable of championingjhatkas and thumkas to pacy beats. Composers Ajay-Atul are delighted to have recreated ‘Chikni Chameli’ which has been adapted from the Marathi hit ‘Kombdi Padali’. ‘Chikni Chameli’ is all set to be this party season’s dance anthem worldwide.

Agneepath is the much awaited, contemporary blockbuster remake starring Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Sanjay Dutt, Rishi Kapoor and of course Katrina Kaif - the ’Chikni Chameli’ item girl. She worked for a ten-day period to provide the needed glamour and mood of the song. ”The song is a rustic number, so she had to dance bare-feet on the uneven ground. Halfway through the number, she injured the soles of her feet as the continuous pressure peeled off her skin. Despite everyone telling her to attend to her injuries she continued with the dance without a whimper,” says Ganesh Acharya, the dance choreographer for the song.

‘Chikni Chameli’ is picturised on Katrina, who acts drunk and is joined by scores of men including the lead actor ‘Duggu’ and ‘Sanju Baba’. A comparison is being drawn between Chameli Katrina Kaif’s koli avatar, Helen’s kashti sari from ‘Mungda…’ (Inkaar) and Madhuri Dixit’s fisherwoman attire from ‘Humko Aaj Kal Hai….’ (Sailaab).

In relation to this, Katrina Kaif says, “I don’t want to be compared with dancing icons like Madhuri and Helen. Their songs are still being played on reality shows and for stage performances. They’ve done a fabulous job. I think they looked stunning in those songs.” The actress, who is open to performing item songs, adds, “Mungda and the Madhuri song are classics. My song is relatively new. As for the look comparison, I don’t think any of them wore a ghagra-choli in the songs you mention. But I’d take it as a compliment if I came anywhere close to what Helen and Madhuri did.”

‘Chikni Chameli’ is available now on iTunes worldwide. Agneepath releases in cinemas worldwide on 26^th January 2012.

Aishwarya Rai is pregnant

MUMBAI: Former Miss World turned Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is pregnant, her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan has revealed.

"NEWS NEWS NEWS !! I AM GOING TO BECOME A GRANDFATHER .. AISHWARYA EXPECTING .. SO HAPPY AND THRILLED !!!,” the veteran megastar wrote on his Twitter account late Tuesday.
Aishwarya Rai, 37, married Bachchan’s actor son, Abhishek, 35, in April 2007. The child will be their first and comes after weeks of media speculation in Indian gossip columns about the actress’ fluctuating weight.

Bachchan Senior later said on the micro-blogging site that he was
“overwhelmed” with the response to the news from followers and had received 2,843 Tweets of congratulation in just half an hour.

The pregnancy was confirmed earlier in the day, he wrote on his blog, bigb.bigadda.com, early Wednesday, adding: “There is joy and happiness around us,” he added.

There was no immediate indication when the baby was due.
The Bachchans — Amitabh, his actress wife Jaya, Aishwarya and Abhishek — are Bollywood’s “first family” and have a fanatical following in India and around the world.

Why Rosie Huntington-Whiteley…?

So Transformers 3 is in 3D, but Megan Fox, the eye-candy girl, has left the series. She gave her adolescent fanboys almost as many cheap thrills as the Decepticons did, but who is her replacement?

She is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (pictured) who was working as a model in England. Bay said: "I've shot plenty of the Victoria's Secret stuff, they've been good clients of mine for years.

"Rosie was modelling for them and she looked spunky. She also has a smart head on her shoulders.

"We had been auditioning all around the world and we saw 500 women but I could not find what I was looking for. Then I asked her if she had ever been interested in acting. She said 'yeah', and I said: 'This might sound a little crazy, it doesn't really happen much, but would you be interested in being in this movie?'

"At first she was going to turn it down, but she went to the audition. From that casting session," said Bay, "the casting director came back with 20 good actresses, but there was something brand-new and fresh about Hayley, and if she impressed us, she would impress the audience too.

"We showed Steven Spielberg her audition tape and everyone was intrigued. Then we brought her on set with LaBeouf and we shot with her for six hours. LaBeouf liked her and we thought she did a good job."

So that's how an English girl got to play the new female lead in Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon opposite LaBeouf, John Malkovich, Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson.

What the Hollywood bullshits and we see…but when the Indians bullshits we don’t see.

How often have we heard the word ‘unrealistic’ or ‘impossible’ being used to describe the feats of a hero in an Indian movie? Very often, perhaps for almost every movie that we see! But, have you ever heard the same things being said about a Hollywood hero? Very rarely or never would be the two answers. This, in spite of the fact that the average Hollywood hero accomplishes far more jaw dropping and potentially life threatening acts than the Indian hero. But, Hollywood has a way of doing things that doesn’t allow much questioning of the proceedings on screen.

Come to think of it, the average commercial Hollywood movie is only as good as any Indian movie. Same old good versus bad stuff, with the bad guy wanting to kill everyone else except his gang of baddies, the hero wanting to save the society and his girlfriend (who always has a knack of getting into trouble) etc. A lot of fights and a climax which inevitably has the hero triumphing. That is about it in a nutshell.
The way of making and the scale of the entire affair is an altogether different thing. Here, the hero wants to save the people in his street, his hamlet or his village at best. But, in mainstream Hollywood movies it is more often an entire city that the hero has to save (probably New York) and in some cases it is the entire world. Here, the villain deals in petty drugs, kidnapping, guns etc… In Hollywood, it is more of nuclear weapons, bombs in skyscrapers submarines, time travel and hi-fi things like that. And, if Indian cinema has fights in shipyards, construction sites, godowns, markets and deserts, Hollywood takes it to the next level by going for locations like the wing of a moving aeroplane, the top of Empire state building, the deck of an oil tanker etc….

Really, is there anything different? Yes, there are no songs in English movies. That apart, Indian and Hollywood commercial cinema is more or less the same, only the packaging is different. Yet, Indian cinema always gets branded as the one that takes ‘cinematic’ liberties, makes superheroes out of men and fools out of audiences. Hollywood cinema is the more intelligent, believable kind of stuff!
Is it really so? Or does Hollywood have a perfectly foolproof knack of making us overlook everything that is unbelievable in their movies, allowing them to pack in all kinds of over the top stuff without being labeled as cinematic. The answer is yes. You have to give it to Hollywood. They know how to present the most illogical, dumbfounding and impossible things on earth and get away with it looking extremely intelligent and of course a lot richer.
Watching X Men over the weekend confirmed this thought. You had everything that 100 commercial Tamil movies put together could not offer – flying submarines (made possible by the sheer will of a man – one of the heroes), missiles hanging in mid air without knowing which way to go, people who can change shape and form as and when they like (this was not a Harry Potter film), flame throwers etc. And, the audience was clapping, I too enjoyed it, no one talked about logic. Not just X Men, almost every Hollywood action movie has these typical stunts. Every Spiderman sequel, Batman etc... you can keep counting. Of course, there are other very well made movies too; we are not talking about them.
When Rajnikanth swiveled his right foot to cause a mini cyclone underneath in Chandramukhi it evoked sniggers and many subsequent movies made comedy scenes based on this. Cut to The Last Airbender, a bald 13 year old boy was creating storms from his palm, aided by stylishly choreographed Kung Fu moves – audience clapped – no one demanded logic – because it was fantasy.

So, what is it about Hollywood movies? They have a fairly simple agenda, to entertain, to present a spectacle on screen that will make you forget everything else. That is pretty similar to what Indian movies want to do. But, Hollywood does its homework better. Yes, they create the better excuses for presenting all the impossible things on earth – mutated men, extraterrestrials, superheroes bitten by spiders, creatures from the portal of hell, second world war radiation victim turned zombies etc…. And hey, they no longer have to worry about any kind of logic – the hero can fly, walk upside down, blast through walls, cut down swords, stop aeroplanes with his fist and anything that the director wants and CGU finds possible.
It is in this department that Indian cinema falls short. Indian filmmakers just don’t know how to find excuses that will lead them around the necessity to think about logic. Why can’t we have good enough excuses? We have a rich enough history, lots of myths, the Himalayas which are known to have all kinds of powerful herbs, poisonous snakes etc.. Get a hero to eat one of these herbs, or a snake to bite him, or invoke some hidden power locked up by some magician in the 15th century (can be shown in an animated flashback) and the director will no longer have to break his head over the lack of logic in his scripts.
Yes, the Indian film makers are waking up to the necessity of finding good excuses to make great action films. That is why we had Enthiran where Shankar used the Robot excuse to make Rajnikanth do all things impossible, but that was not good enough, people still demanded logic. Now, there is Ra One which again will try offering us an excuse to make Shah Rukh Khan fly and make cars fly, we’ll see how good that one is.
With money and technology no longer a barrier, it is just a question of finding good enough excuses for Indian cinema to make action flicks that are as good as Hollywood. We have started, we will get there, till then we will have to make do with the Hollywood excuses!

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (also known as Transformers 3) is the 2011 film in the Transformers film series, directed by Michael Bay and produced by Steven Spielberg. It is the sequel to Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and is scheduled for release on June 29, 2011. The film will be presented in regular 2D, Real D 3D and IMAX, featuring Dolby Surround 7.1 sound.

Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro are set to reprise their starring roles, with Peter Cullen returning as the voice of Optimus Prime and Hugo Weaving returning as the voice of Megatron. Ehren Kruger, who collaborated in the writing of the last film, was again involved in the writing. Despite having initially been confirmed for the film, and with the film already into principal photography, it was announced that Megan Fox would not be reprising her role from the previous two films. With Fox's character Mikaela being dropped, Sam was assigned a new love interest, who will be played by English model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Also, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, having written the last two films, did not return for this installment in the series, which Orci had earlier somewhat anticipated, fearing the duo would "risk getting stale". Bay has stated this would be his last installment in the series. In May 2011 it was announced that Paramount Pictures had bumped Transformers: Dark of the Moon 's release date of July 1, 2011 two days earlier, June 29, in order to receive an early response to footage. It has been announced that Transformers: Dark of the Moon will be released one day earlier, June 28, in 3D and IMAX theatres, nationwide.

Plot

When the war on Cybertron between the Autobots and Decepticons appears lost to the Autobots, their leader, Sentinel Prime, attempts to launch the Ark from their planet, containing technology that could have saved his kind. Attacked by Starscream, it crashes on Earth's moon in 1961. President John F. Kennedy makes his famous promise to the nation to put a man on the moon. The 1969 NASA moon landing is actually an investigation of the wrecked spacecraft.
As Sam Witwicky goes into adulthood and tries to move on from Mikaela, the Autobots are busy as they learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft on the Moon and must race against the Decepticons to find it and learn its secrets, which could turn the tide in the Transformers' final battle.

Release

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is set to be released on June 29, 2011 in 3D. Originally set to be released in both conventional and IMAX theaters, it was announced in November 2010 that no IMAX 3D shots were made for the film. The filmed premiered at the Moscow International Film Festival on June 23, 2011. Linkin Park performed a special outdoor concert at the Red Square in Moscow on the same night in celebration of the event.

Marketing
Most of the characters returned for Hasbro's new toyline, which came out on May 16, 2011. In October 2010, Entertainment Tonight previewed the behind-the-scenes filming in Chicago. Following that, the official film website was changed with the logo and the release date under it. A two-minute teaser trailer was announced on November 27, and was posted to the web on December 9, 2010. A thirty-second television advertisement for the film aired during Super Bowl XLV on FOX on February 6, 2011. The first full theatrical trailer was released on April 28, 2011.

The music video for "Iridescent" was directed by Joe Hahn.Two other singles were released specifically for the soundtrack, "Monster" by Paramore and "All That You Are" by the Goo Goo Dolls.

Both the novel and the graphic novel featured Skids and Mudflap as supporting characters, but they were missing from the junior novel. None of them featured a character named Silverbolt. The graphic novel made reference to several Autobots from the IDW tie-in comics who died in the stories between Revenge of the Fallen and Dark of the Moon.

Megastar Chiranjeevi visits Superstar Rajinikanth

Even tough actor Rajinikanth’s family have kept his being in Chennai under wraps, two days ago, star-turned-politician Chiranjeevi visited superstar Rajinikanth at his residence to enquire about his health.

He spent around 30 minutes on Wednesday morning with the ailing actor and found the superstar’s health to be satisfactory and that he was recouping faster than expected.

“Despite his 60-plus age, Rajnikanth has responded to the treatment well and the improvement in his health was evident. But he has been advised a couple of months rest,” says a source close the Telugu star.

He claims that Chiranjeevi was upset about speculations about his friend’s health, so he decided to get first hand information and after visiting him, he found all the rumours to be baseless.

The star-politician will return to Hyderabad and start work on his upcoming 24-hournews channel, which is tentatively titled Power News. If everything falls into place, it is expected to be launched on Chiranjeevi’s birthday (August 22).

HERE ARE THE BRIEF DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE MOVIE

Super 8 is a 2011 American science fiction film written and directed by J. J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg. The film, starring Joel Courtney,Elle Fanning, and Kyle Chandler, was released on June 10, 2011 in conventional and IMAX theaters. The film tells the story of a group of children who are filming their own Super 8 movie when a train derails, releasing a dangerous presence into their town. The movie was filmed in Weirton, West Virginia land surrounding areas.

Plot

In the fictional town of Lillian, Ohio, early 1979, a factory worker at the local steel mill changes the number of days since the last accident from 784 days to 1 day. Joe Lamb (Joel Courtney), a 13-year-old boy living in town, has lost his mother in the accident and holds his mother's locket which contains a picture of her holding him as an infant. Louis Dainard (Ron Eldard) comes to the funeral but Joe's father, Deputy Jackson Lamb (Kyle Chandler), puts Dainard in handcuffs. It is later revealed by Alice (Elle Fanning), Dainard's daughter, that her father, an alcoholic, had been drinking the morning of the accident. Since Joe's mother was a kind woman, she stayed to cover his shift that day. Unfortunately, doing so resulted in her being fatally crushed by a steel beam.

Four months later, as summer break begins, Alice uses her father's car to take Joe and his friends Charles (Riley Griffiths), Preston (Zach Mills), Martin (Gabriel Basso), and Cary (Ryan Lee) to an old train depot. The group is shooting a scene there for Charles's low budget zombie movie on Super 8 film. During the shoot, Joe witnesses a pick-up truck drive onto the tracks towards an oncoming train, which causes a massive derailment. Recovering from the accident, the kids find the wreck littered with strange white cubes. The kids approach the truck and discover Dr. Woodward (Glynn Turman), their biology teacher, behind the wheel of the truck. He instructs them to never talk about what they saw; otherwise, they and their parents will be killed.

Soon, the U.S. Air Force, led by Colonel Nelec (Noah Emmerich), arrives to secure the crash site while the kids flee. After days of strange phenomena (pets running away, kitchen appliances, car engines, and power lines disappearing; people being abducted), the Air Force deliberately starts a wildfire outside of town. This gives them a pretense to evacuate the entire town to the local Air Force base. At the base, Joe runs into Louis, who tells him that a creature abducted Alice.

Joe, Charles, Cary, and Martin sneak back into town and head to their school, where they break into Woodward's stash of confiscated items, thinking he may have hidden in the stash documentations about the creature that might help them save Alice. In the papers, film, and audio recordings they find, they discover that the government imprisoned an extraterrestrial (Bruce Greenwood) that crashed on Earth in 1958. The alien only wished to rebuild its ship using the shapeshifting white cubes, and return home, but was instead imprisoned and tortured by the Air Force in order to learn from the creature's advanced technology and intellect. One film shows Woodward, a researcher at the time, being attacked by the alien. This physical contact caused him to form a telepathic bond with the alien, through which he learned that it only wanted to go home. By colliding with the train, he hoped to free the alien.

Colonel Nelec and his men storm the school and capture the boys. They place the children on a security bus and head back to the Air Force base but are attacked by the alien on the way. Nelec and his men are killed while Joe and his friends escape. The kids head through the town, which is now under heavy fire from malfunctioning military equipment as the military attempts to battle the alien. They find the alien's subterranean lair near the cemetery where his mother is buried, along with dozens of missing people who have been trapped there by the alien. In the lair, they discover that the alien was using the town's missing electronics to create a large device around the water tower base.

Joe manages to rescue Alice, but as they make their escape, the alien grabs Joe. He tells the creature: "I know bad things happen.... But you can still live." The alien, through its tactile telepathic ability, understands and lets go of Joe, allowing him and his friends to escape just as the machine the alien constructed starts to run. Shortly after, all the cubes as well as loose metal from around the town are attracted to the water tower. The cubes begin to align and a ship begins to take form around the town's water tower. Joe's metal locket is also sucked upwards and, after a moment, he decides to let it go. After this, the locket completes the pile and everyone watches as the ship takes off toward space.

While the end credits play, the movie that Charles and his friends were working on, The Case, is shown.

Kajal Agarwal the hottest star in south Indian Cinema

Kajal Agarwal might now be known as one of the most popular heroines in South Indian cinema. From being a nobody in her blink and miss debut in Hindi film"Kyon...Ho Gaya Na", she has come a long way.

And it is South Indian cinema that gave her an identity in the glam world. Infact, she bagged her big ticket, Bollywood project, " Singham," with Ajay Devgn, only thanks to her popularity down South. But looks like Kajal, in all her B-Town excitement, is keen on leaving her South days behind. Talking to media in Mumbai for the promotion of herfilm "Singham," she was quoted as saying, "I have never considered myself a South Indian actress."

The industry is fuming at her statement. A co-star of Kajal, who also hails from the North and has worked with Kajal more than once, says, "This is insane.We don't get good roles in Hindi films and so we start off our career with South Indian movies. This industry gives us our fame and grooms us and then we bag Hindi films.We shouldn't forget where we began. I still can't believe she could say such a thing."

Many insiders feel that Tollywood producers are to be blamed for encouraging these Mumbai imports and putting up with their tantrums, only for them to turn their backs at the industry, as soon as Bollywood beckons. "These actresses use the South Indiancinema only as stepping stones to Bollywood career," a Tollywood insider says.

Filmmakers who worked with Kajal express their dismay and disbelief at her statement. While many were not willing to go on record against her, a few demand an apology from the actress.
"Two weeks ago she said that she knows the greatness of Hyderbadi biryani. When these stars are in Hyderabad,they say they love this city, pearls and biryani. When they are in Chennai, they say they love Tamil language. It is alright for her to say that she loves Mumbai for the sake of promoting her movie. But it is insane to say she never considered herself to be a South Indian actress. Now that we know her attitudetowards our industry, we have to treat her similarly," says director Sreedhar Reddy.

A few however, still give Kajal the benefit of doubt. "I cast anyone who suits the role without regional feelings. I don't discriminate. Shriya was from Delhi.  Kajal is from Mumbai. This is a creative industry and we need to work together. It doesn't matter to me what her feelings about South are as long as she suits the role. It is her perspective," says Sravanti Ravi Kishore, senior producer who worked with Kajal.

Manasara: 2010 telugu film that would change your perception about love

A routine romantic tale, the story is about Vikram (vikram) who lives in Hyderabad and he is basically a very chicken hearted guy. His family gets transferred to Rajapalayam in Kerala and this is a small place where ancient customs and traditions are followed. The settlement of issues is usually done by a fight of Kalari, the ancient martial art. Vikram sees Anjali (sree divya) and falls in love with her and soon, she also reciprocates. However, Anjali's aunt harasses her while her 'bava' Rajan Pillai (George) has got a lecherous eye on her. Rajan is also a famous Kalari champion. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.

one of the best song which i like the most:

listen to this song while ure reading….

as you know director ravi babu is a talented cinematographer and he had also presented good screenplay of the movie. even though the movie has some minor errors but it does not effect the storyline and the movie performed very well in my feelings about love.

you don't have to be a strong, muscular and wealthy for a person to fall in love. to love u need just love to be expressed and not by showing our wealth and impressing them with tricks and lies. in fact girls nowadays, like this king of persons a lot, they are falling in love by considering the guys wealth first before getting into the relationship. the only reason for them is ‘secure’ , girls would be secure if a guys is able to fulfil a girls needs and the mentality now is getting common until people are demanding for wealthy groom so that he is able to provide his wife with a better life and security all in the name of money…..

and im not saying money is not important, its just a need and love in family should be the always first. its the responsibility of a guy to earn money for the family and its the must. the girls should be responsible for the love in family. this is the nature of the humankind that it is need to be reminded always.

hope after watching this movie people would realize.

Despite starting off with a mixed talk, Allu Arjun’s Badrinath turned out to be a quite a good opener by collecting huge amounts in the first three days. Producer Allu Arvind arranged a press meet at his office to announce the same. Here are the excerpts -

Badrinath collects 16.5 crores gross in 3 days in India
Geeta Arts latest production Badrinath has collected a gross of 16.5 crores in 3 days in India. It has collected 14.1 crores in AP (Nizam - 5 crores, Ceded - Rs 3.5 crores, Andhra - Rs 5.6 crores), 1.6 crores in Karnataka and 0.75 crores inKerala. The gauging factor for any blockbuster film is the collection of morningshows on Monday. The collections are very strong all over AP today morning. The mixed talk on the day one is generated due to the mismatch between expectations and deliverables. People expected it to be a mythological like Magadheera and it turned out to be a contemporary love story with temple backdrop. I am happy that Telugu movie lovers have accepted the theme and encouraged the movie.

Allu Arjun’s connection with Himalayas
Allu Arjun has an amazing connection with Himalayas. His debut film Gangotri was shot in Himalayas. His other blockbuster Desa Muduru was shot for 25 days in Himalayas. Badrinath film has the backdrop of Himalayas. Instead of making matching sets, we decided to use the infrastructure over there to shoot the film. It’s not possible for everybody to travel to Badrinath which is one of the most famous holy shrine in India. By watching Badrinath, audiences are feeling like they are visiting Badrinath shrine.

Two years after the eardrum-assaulting first instalment, Michael Bay's 'bots return for more decibel-laden carnage in this summer's first bona fide blockbuster.

Big, loud and definitely not clever, it's a giant, lumbering idiot of a movie that, were it not for all the explosions, would send the most devoted action fans to sleep.

With a yawning hole where the plot should be, a cast chosen for their looks rather than their acting chops and nothing to offer except stuff blowing up, what we have is two hours of director Bay banging toys together.

Less a movie and more an action-figure advertorial, Shia LaBeouf returns as teenager Sam Witwicky who, you may recall, saved the world in the first film by teaming up with the shapeshifting Autobots against the evil Decepticons.

When we catch up with him, Sam is heading to university, leaving behind his fretting parents and his unbelievably hot girlfriend Mikaela (Megan Fox).

Meanwhile in Washington, the Pentagon is hunting down and eliminating the remaining Decepticons. But when Sam discovers a piece of the mythical Allspark, an ancient artefact that gives the Transformers life, battle is rejoined with Autobot leader Optimus Prime taking on the Decepticons' boss Megatron.

Bigger, brasher and noisier than anything you've seen, it's certainly a visual spectacle with great special effects. Right from the off, Bay wastes no time in showing us what a $200m movie looks like with a spectacular face-off in Shanghai involving a gigantic shape-shifting unicycle.

Later, when the action moves to the Middle East, there's an almighty mêlée that'll appeal to everyone's inner idiot.

Thing is, none of it really hits home since nobody's bothered with a storyline - it's just a series of battles held together with the ropiest of dialogue.

As far as acting goes, LaBeouf is reliably dreadful, while Fox wears little more than cut-off jeans and a pout. At least John Turturro brings something to the table as a crackpot conspiracy theorist.

Make sure you take your earplugs.

Appealing visuals combined with graphical technicalities has been producer M. Shyam Prasad Reddy’s stronghold since his first inception ‘Ammoru’ which gave way for wonders in Telugu cinema. Following the movie’s smash hit ‘Anji’ came posing an unique plot filled with twists and turns.

The delay in the release of Shyam Prasad’s latest movie ‘Arundhathi’ has no way affected its charm. His passion for cinema made him undergo such a long project that took 3 years to be conceived on celluloid. The makers unveiled the Sankranthi special film on Jan 16th that has made the audience spellbound.

The days and months of burning the mid-night oil and the filmmakers toil could be related on screen. When I come doesn’t matter but how I impress when I arrive does. In the same way, the days we took to finish is not what matters but the quality work bought out does. These could be the words rewinding in Shyam Prasad’s mind and it reflects in the end product. Read below for a concise review on ‘Arundhati’.

Story

The story unfolds with young girl Arundhati (Anushka)’s arrival to her ancestors palace located in the outskirts of Gadwal province. Engaged to her beloved Rahul (Deepak), she is filled with joy about her impending marriage. Arundhati’s grandfather, Bhupathi Raja (Kaikala Satyanarayana) and Chandramma (Manorama), their loyal maid look upon her as the heiress in the lineage next to Jejamma (Anushka), the princess of Gadwal province three generations back.

The time shifts to the past revealing the daring princess Jejamma who fights and slays the evil doer Pashupathi (Sonu Sood). She restores peace in her reign and Pasupathi’s soul prevails around his Samadhi bound by a magical spell. He awaits the time to break free and get his vengeance on the princess.

In the present, a couple on their way to meet Arundhathi with her wedding cards meets with an accident near the haveli (mansion). The lady goes missing and the man possessed by evil spirits breaks open the Samadhi. A Fakeer Anwar (Shayaji Shinde) who dwells around the place senses bad omen and summons Arundhathi to vacate the place for her own safety.

The Good VS Evil fight begins as Pashupathi mistakes Arundhathi for Jejamma and seeks revenge on her.

How the young girl Arundhati fights back the evil spirit and reigns over the evil doer in the present unveils on screen in a twisty, edge-of-the-seat narration filled with spellbinding visualization and astounding graphics.

Performance of Artists

Anushka, who appeared as a glamour doll till date, sheens in this new role that gives her space to perform onscreen. She is seen in a fresh antique look in one of the dual roles as Jejamma. Her performance as Arundhathi is also laudable. Although her work in a few scenes, in the second half is disappointing, her overall performance is appealing.

Sonu Sood the debuted star of 'Super' has improved considerably and his performance in the negative shade as Pashupathi is excellent. Ravi shankar's dubbing for the character brings life to the role on screen. The expressions and gestures of Subhashini who has played Pashupathi’s mother is good.

Kaikala Satyanarayana has returned after a long gap in movies. Ahuthi Prasad, Chalapathi Rao, SivaParvathi, Annapurna, Manorama, Meena, Jayalalitha have all did well in their respected characters. Baby Divya who played Arundhathi in her childhood years has exhibited a notable performance. Shayaji Shinde as the fakeer has made his presence felt in the movie.

Technicians Work

Koti has composed excellent tracks for the movie. Even though he was prominently not heard for sometime, he has made a mark. Especially, his background musical score that stands as the main highlight for the film.

The most important aspect to be taken note of is the special effects. Bringing back the old palace to life (taking the audience to the past glory of the palace); the murders committed by Pashupathi; the climax sequences in the old palace; the scenes depicting the raise of the spirit from the dormant samadhi and creating a havoc are notable. All this was mainly because of Senthil Kumars photography, Ashok's creative work in construction of sets. Surely these are the key elements in the film. Rahul Nambiar's creativity is also good.

The dialogues 'Ammaale…bommaale…' written by Chinthapalli Ramana, has given a caricature for the character of Pashupathi. His dialogues for Arundhathi suit the feel.

MS Reddy, Dr C Narayana Reddy, Ananth Sriram and Veturi's lyrics are nice. The song penned for Jejamma is enjoyable.

Shivshankars choreography in the sequences, while the spirit is being bound with the spell, is exceptionally well. During the drum dance, if the re-recording had been done on a high pitch, it would have been even better in the cinema halls.

Shyam Prasad Reddy’s pure passion for cinema unlike other producers interest in commercialism is evident in ‘Arundhathi’. Based on a heroine-centric subject, he has daringly invested 13 crores to churn out a spectacular entertainer sans compromise, which has re-established Mallemala Entertainments banner value.

Director's Portrayal

The director of cop stories, Kodi Ramakrishna got the name as the maker of graphical extravaganzas with M. Shyam Prasad Reddy’s produced ‘Ammoru’. He was away busy with small time movies and some predicted he might join the list of veteran directors. He did come back with a big budget magnum opus like ‘Arundhathi’ and reiterated his niche in creativity with this mile stone project.

Criticism

Shyam Prasad holds maximum credit for investing the huge amount in a woman oriented subject that didn’t use Anushka’s glam looks but her acting skills. His daring move has passed out with flying colors and has come out in glory. Even though two days late for the festival, ‘Arundhathi’ is the latest sensation and box officer forecasters predict it will rain collections in the coming days.

In a nutshell, ‘Arundhathi’ is Shyam Prasad’s technical wonder that had brilliantly reached the target.
