Best actor, a reward for criticizing Chiru

Darshaka Ratna Dasari Narayana Rao is highly talented film personality. There is no doubt about his talent.

Dasari got best actor award for his film Mestri. The film released just before general elections. It attacked film star Chiranjeevi who had floated ambitious political party Praja Rajyam.

The film has obviously some references highlighting the drawbacks of Chiru as a politician.

The film bombed at the box-office. It failed to convey the message to masses. But Dasari got best actor award! Amazing. It happens in Tollywood only. In fact there is several contenders for best actor who score more than Dasari. Take Magadheera, Ramcharan got appreciation from every quarter for his second film. The presentation ceremony of Nandi awards last time appeared as a political function of Congress party. Those who supported the Congress got all awards.

Story of Mahesh Kaleja

Seeta Rama Raju (Mahesh Babu) is a taxi driver.

GK (Prakash Raj) and Tanikella Bharani are business partners selling Iridium that costs many times to gold, which is used in rocket building.

Tanikella’s daughter is Anushka. He wishes to get her married to Prakash Raj’s son (Amit) so that they can associate to do more businesses in illegal way. They also run medical colleges. They send a researcher to a border village in AP to discover that traces of Iridium. He discovers a Lord Krishna idol and finds that is made of Iridium. Later he learns that entire village has Iridium treasure under ground. Only 534 people live in the village. The conspiracy of Prakash Raj and Bharani is to evacuate those people and capture complete Iridium treasure. Dilavar Singh, a local, helps Prakash Raj in this matter.

After getting the things done, Prakash Raj kills Dilavar Singh and the Researcher for not letting the secret out. He also plans to kill Mahesh Babu in a planned way. He asks him to go to Rajasthan to handover the insurance money of Dilavar Singh. Mahesh Babu goes there. Shafi and Rao Ramesh are village heads there.

Why Prakash Raj tries to Kill Mahesh, How dangers surround Mahesh and how he encounters them? That is the twist from then which should be watched on Screen.

Highlights of Khaleja Movie

A Huge Action + Wonderful Comedy + Mahesh Daring Performance = Mahesh Kaleja
Trivikram Dialougues are Excellent
Dialougue delivery of Mahesh has been changed to a different modulation (Sounds Good)
His Oota Padam “Bhayya” will become popular after you watch Kaleja Movie
The song “Om Namo Siva Rudraya” is Highlight of the Movie
Anushka is Screened Beautifully
Brahmanandam, Ali, Raghubabu and Sunil Comedy was great
Cinematography is Mind blowing
Fights are composed in a different way. very Nice
Manisharama’s Re-Recording was excellent
Drawbacks of Kaleja:

Music was really a minus point. Except 2 songs, other were poorly composed and picturization was not so interesting
“Villagers make Mahesh Babu a demigod. That part is very weak in the film”, is a grey area in the film as per the talk.
Second half is very slow than the first half
Kaleja Movie Ratings : Above Average Movie (May be hiked during the long run) ***

Final Analysis : Can definitely watch for Mahesh Performance, Trivikram Dialougues and Anushka’s Glamour.

Why Mahesh Babu Exposing Little Super Star?

Prince Mahesh Babu is one man who has been known for his media shy presence and for a long time, he was a rather private person. However, all that has changed with time and realizing the need for him to be around when his movie is around, Mahesh has been doing what he can.

Lately, it is being observed that Mahesh is not alone and he is often accompanied by his son Gautam. It is heard that the prince dotes on his young one and ensures he gives him the proper attention. However, here is the reason why the little superstar is accompanying the dad superstar.

Arthi Agarwal’s ‘LINK’ With Director

The fair and fleshy beauty Arthi Agarwal may well be the famous girl in the cine circuit but her life has been riddled with a fair share of controversies and link ups as well. Right now, she is busy with whatever films she is getting but more than that another news is making rounds.

This has to do with the director Bharat Parepalli. Apparently, Arthi is all set to arrive with the new film ‘Neelaveni’ which has been directed by Bharat. Even before that has hit the screens, it is heard that Bharat is gearing up to announce yet another film with her the next month.

This ‘chemistry’ between the director and the heroine has got the film nagar folks talking as to what is the ‘link’ between both. But then, the unit members have quashed any romantic angles to it and maintained that both of them are sharing a perfect professional equation. Many are hoping what they are saying is true..

Jr NTR Fans To Boycott ‘Brindavanam’

NTR Fans are now angry on their star’s film ‘Brindavanam’. This sounds wild. But this is true as per the reports. A couple of days ago Dil Raju called for a Press Meet and said that he is postponing the release of ‘Brindavanam’ for 1 week due to technical reasons. Up to that is ok. But he extended saying, “Jr NTR fans are sending warnings to me stating that the consequences will be worst if I postpone the film release from Oct 8th. But I’m not here to bend for such warnings”.

This has ignited negative sparks among Jr NTR fans and hence they are planning to show their power by calling for a non cooperation movement.

It is known that fans are vital force for any big star’s film. They create hype; they do hungama and build up craze for the film. They gather the information about collections and frequently deliver that to media. But this time, as producer Dil Raju has shown his arrogance on fans, things may turn other way. And sources say that even Jr NTR is taking the side of fans as the film got postponed although he pressured Dil Raju not to, due to prestige issue (since Khaleja is releasing on Oct 7th). Now sources say that Jr NTR may not show interest in promoting the film but will get busy in the shooting of ‘Shakti’.

We have to see what happens to Brindavanam. Let us wish Dil Raju comes out with flying colors with this project. Already he is in neck deep financial troubles. Let Brindavanam give him solace.
