Mainly the twist in second half is too good that no one can expect. And the heroine hansika is good looking and tanisha is not soo impressive.

The only back drop in the movie is It has Too many fights but again they were convincing and well picturised Generally audions will really feel that director could have concentrated on comedy a bit more.Though they are very few seans in comedy they were really good mainly Singapore episode, and comedy track of Suneel, Ali, krishna baghavan and Brahmanandam.NTR is good looking &his costumes were very good.

The movie is good to watch and we can expect 100% returns for what we have invested on this movie in the form of entertainment.

Rating:7.0/10

Reel-istic romance

PRIYAMANI has said it loud and clear that she and actor RAJA are not an item. But the rumour just refuses to die down. The duo worked together in director PRIYADARSHAN's Toss and a few public appearances together got the grapevine interested again, and they were declared a couple. Yes, it would make the perfect script for a filmi romance, but Priyamani has denied these reports as just that-fiction! Plain gossip, is how she puts it, and says again that Raja is just a friend. Raja also chose to laugh the matter away, quite expectedly, if one might add. Well, there seems no way to tell then about these two, but there definitely seems to be a pattern to all romantic link-ups in Tollywood. Here's hoping, for good interesting read's sake that things will get more candid in the future.

Tamanna going places

TAMANNA, it seems, is the flavour of Tollywood this season. The gorgeous actress has been flooded with a bevy of offers after the success of Happy Days. She's now been signed up to play the lead opposite SIDDARTH in a Tamil film. NALLAMALPU SRINIVAS is producing the film. Pundits have it that the actress' stocks have soared in Tamil too after her last film, Kaloori, proved a smashing hit. Sources also say that two top-notch production houses in Tollywood have already signed up Tamanna. Looks like everything's falling into place now for the actress who shifted base to Tamil cinema after the utter failure of her first two films, Sree and Jadoo. Way to go, girl!

Sizzler! TABU

Age, they say, is just a number. And TABU seems to have made quite a habit of proving that right. She just seems to look more ravishing with every passing day! Some film buffs actually feel this the 'hottest' Tabu has looked in the last twenty years.

She created quite a flutter flaunting her curves in the recently released Idhi Sangathi and director K RAGHAVENDRA RAO is looking to capitalise on her newfound oomph factor in the pre-release publicity of the BALAKRISHNA starrer Pandurangadu. Insiders say we can expect to see Tabu set the screen ablaze. With K Ragahvandra Rao in charge, we cannot expect anything less, can we?

Ramcharan to act in Karunakaran's

Ramcharan who attended music release of Karunakaran's Ullasangaa Ustahangaa last evening, spoke on the occasion- 'Yasho Sagar (hero of the film) is looking stunning in the posters. I made my debut last year with Chirutha and I know how it feels like before your first film release.
I had been listening to the songs of the film. GV Prakash has given excellent music. After listening to the music, I called up Karunakaran and told him that we should make a film together. I will do a film with director Karunakaran very soon'

Will he, won't he?

Having enjoyed great success with mythological films like Anmayya and the recently released Sree Ramadasu, NAG sources say is very keen about doing a historical film. According to the sources, director GUNA SEKHAR broached the idea with the actor and Nagarjuna did show a keen interest in the character. The film is based on a novel written by the legendary writer ADAVI BAPIRAJU. But nothing is finalised as yet, as Nagarjuna is very busy with his eariler commitments. He is going to start shooting for director SREENU VYTLA's upcoming venture. It all depends on how keen Nag is on recreating history.

Of myths and realities

SNEHA has had a rather strange run in Tollywood so far. Though she has earned the reputation of being an actress of substance, her movies, however, have not lived up to her reputation, as she still awaits that big break in Tollywood. She did play the lead opposite NAGARJUNA in the mythological Sree Ramamadasu, which went on to be a huge hit, but since then she seems to have been typecast playing family oriented roles in films like Madhumaasam and the recently released Nee Sukhame Nekorukuntanau. She is also playing the lead opposite BALAKRISHNA in another mythological film Pandurangadu. Besides she is also acting in Adivishnu, with DASARI ARUN playing the lead. She will be praying for at least one of these films to click at the BO.

Chasing success

In the last few months there was a lot of speculation over director KRISHNAVAMSI's next venture. Looks like Krishnavamsi is all set to direct TARUN in his next. SUNKARA MADHUMURALI is producing the film, tentatively set to start on 25 May. The rest of the cast and crew is yet to be announced. Well Tarun has not had a great time of late as both his recent ventures Nava Nasantham and the recently released, Bhale Dongalu, did average business. He will be hoping Krishnavamsi will help him with that elusive hit.

Rambha's lying low

Life seems to have turned a full circle for
RAMBHA as her comeback venture Donga Sachinollu sank without a trace at the box office. The actress we were told was pinning her hopes on the film but due to some misgivings over the payment she refused to take part in any pre release promotions of the film. Now that the film's bombed the actres, it seems, has no takers in the industry. It does look like a tough road ahead for the pretty actress. We will have to wait and see if she manages to ride this rough patch.

Interested in dances, go and watch 'Kantri'

Dances in the NTR-Hansika starrer 'Kantri' would be a feast for the eyes of the audiences in general and NTR fans in particular. It is learnt that almost all the songs in the film were choreographed with utmost care and in a very different way. In the song 'Vayassunami...', NTR could be seen dancing with one leg for more than one minute, which is very rare and novel.

Likewise, there is another song, in which the choreographer chose to use the classical dance style for NTR. Being an excellent dancer who learnt classical dance in his childhood, NTR also excelled in that song. There is another in which there is a critical dance was choreographed by the dance master. In that song, the hero had to take a step on the reverse side (back step). It was quite difficult step and NTR, after shedding the weight, was able to do it with a nice effort.

However, it is learnt that NTR suffered back pain after the completion of the song forcing him to take rest for a few days. As a whole, the dance lovers could enjoy the dances and the film would definitely attract the youth and mass audiences.

Another newcomer VIMALA RAMAN

Happy days just don't seem to end for VARUN SANDESH in Tollywood. The Happy Days hero now has another good offer. This time a leading production house is casting him in the lead role. Kerala-belle VIMALA RAMAN is set to make her Tollywood debut opposite him as the female lead. The film is being directed by another debutant MARTAND SHANKAR, brother of the well-known editor MARTHAND K VENKATESH. Varun Sandhesh is for now overwhelmed working with such a prestigious banner. Shankar promises that the film will appeal to all sections of the audiences. Well we will have to wait and see if the big banners translate into big hits. Wot say folks?
