Sania's show to end after Marriage !!

India's most successful female tennis player Sania Mirza revealed that she will hang up her racquet after getting married.

Sania, who got engaged to childhood friend Sohrab Mirza in July 2009, did not elaborate when she plans to marry but said she will bid adieu to the game after tying the knot.

"As of now, I don't intend to play professionally after marriage but that is still some time away," Sania said.

Before getting engaged to the Indian tennis diva, Sohrab had said that Sania will have complete freedom to make her career decisions.

'She has my complete support and backing in whatever she wishes. It is completely her decision for how long she wishes to play,' Sohrab had said in June.So, when asked if it was purely her decision to quit the game after marriage, Sania's father Imran Mirza replied, "It's her decision for now. If later she decides to play after marriage, it's her choice."

Reviews

Sambho Shiva Sambho is not a typical Ravi Teja film. In fact it is not even a typical Telugu film. The hero does not get his girl. He risks his everything for his friend’s love marriage which ends in a divorce even before the proverbial song and dance sequence ends. And by the time the audience walks out of the theater they are as confused as the hero.

What is it about

The film is about Karna (Ravi Teja) an unemployed youngster who values friendship and honesty above everything else in his life. His friends Malli and Seenu are the usual lot many of us can identify with. Malli – a role essayed by Allari Naresh – wears his heart on his sleeve and is especially endearing. Into their lives walks Santosh (the son of a MLA) who falls in love with a factionist’s daughter Priya. Karna, Malli and Seenu join hands to unite Santosh and Priya. In the process they also take the help of local Naanni (Sunil). In the process their lives get shattered. In the fights that ensue, Malli becomes deaf, Seenu loses his leg. And Karna’s maamayya (Thanikella Bharani) refuses the hand of his daughter to Karna because of him getting involved in a police case. In between all this they get the news that Santosh and Priya have separated because they get “bored” of each other. Karna gets angry because he feels that too much has been sacrificed for the sake of Santosh. So he wants to teach him a lesson. How Karna and Malli manage to do that is the story of the rest of the film.

What is Good

The realism in the film is excellent In fact it is way too intense so as to cause a measure of discomfort. The scenes where Karna and his friends run off with Priya from the warlord’s den in Kurnool are shot with authenticity. The blood and gore can make you wince. Also the scene where Karna’s maradalu (Priyamani) tries to fight for the love of her man with her father (Thanikella Bharani) is intense and so very real. The dialogues between the friends and their interplay with their families is easily identifiable. The director manages to get middle class authenticity into the screen in a manner not seen for a long time in the Telugu screen. Cinematography is sharp and detailed. The film in the first half manages to sustain the viewer’s interest.

What is bad

In the second half the film sinks under a tidal wave of emotion. The whole atmosphere of the film gets noisy. Telugu audiences are not used to this level of emotional heaviness especially when the film has Ravi Teja in it. Fans who expect the usual dose of slap stick humor, punch dialogues and racy songs – the staple diet in Ravi a Teja film - will be disappointed. Sunil’s comedy is a let-down. The songs and dance have a distinct “tamil” flavor in them. Priyamani looks like a ragged doll. I don’t recollect the last time a Telugu heroine was presented with such a heavy foundation make up throughout the film. The characters of Roja (Santosh’s mother) and Mukesh Rishi (Priya’s father) are wasted. But the biggest conflict is with the message in itself. On the one hand the director seems to be telling that one should not rush headlong into love marriages. On the other hand his Karna’s character seems to be ready to help another set of lovers get united. And to add to the confusion, Karna himself seems to accept that his love is doomed.

Bottom Line

Watch it if you are a hard core Ravi Teja fan. And even then prepare to see him like you have never seen him before. He is totally deglamorised – sad really considering the fact that he looks fit as a fiddle. In this packed Sankranthi schedule, Sambho Siva Sambho seems to have dropped out of the race, which in all likelihood will be between Adhurs and Namom Venkatesa. That I guess speaks about the status of this film. 

verdict: jus an ave flick

Namo Venkatesa Movie Review

Movie : Namo Venkatesa
Rating: 3/5
Cast : Venkatesh,Trisha ,Brahmanandam,Dharmavarapu, Kasi Viswanath, Jaya Prakash Reddy, Mukesh Rishi, Subba Raju,Prithvi, Master Bharat, Surekha Vani, Telangana Sakunthala
Directed by : Sreenu Vaitla
Produced by : Achanta Ram
Banner : 14 Reels Entertainment, Suresh Productions
Music : Devi Sri Prasad
Release Date : 2010-01-14
Story: Venkatesh and Sreenu Vaitla use the same formula to churn laughs.The director uses faction plot, romance, and Brahmanandam/Jayaprakash Reddy/Bharat to keep the story moving and garnishes it with plenty of songs.Instead of being content doing romance and fights, Venky wears his comedy coat and with Brahmanandam in the role of Paris Prasad on his side pull off a lengthy drama that ends predictably. Venky plays the role of a Venkatramana a ventriloquist by profession ,who's not married yet as his dream girl hasn't yet arrived. When she does, he is made to believe by her uncle that she is in love with him .The heroine is in love with Aakash but like in all films when they are about to get married, the hero attempts a sacrificial act and there is a change of heart in the heroine. To lengthen the drama, and to make it colourful, a faction background is added. This is not a brilliant or a novel movie but the strength lies in blending the humour into a faction narrative. Also it does not get onto the nerves of the audiences, with a good technical execution, picturesque locations and some sentiment towards the end that all good men are rewarded the film becomes complete. Trisha this time doesn't get much to do.Venkatesh and Brahmanandam performance is not upto the mark.Jayaprakash Reddy's did his job as far as his role is concerned.The script and screenplay comes to be a routine one and Vaitla tried to keep his audiences entertained with a bit of comedy as well as drama.Venkatesh's humour, average performances by the rest and on whole, the movie turned out to be an average one. Plus Points: Venkatesh dance for songs ‘Mr Perfect’ and ‘Ringa Ringa’ Minus Points: Routine comedy Music Analysis: There is nothing new about the story but could have done well with better screenplay  Master Bharat ,Surekha vani and Jayaprakash Reddy of Srinu Vytla team were not utilised to optimum. Brahmanandam does a good job as he brings out laughter in some instances and also covers up the pale performance of remaining cast. The Movie is not upto the mark and cannot be compared to Srinu Vytla's previous movies 'Dhee' and 'Ready'.Music could be much better. Verdict : Just an Average Movie

Review

Story

A tale of different people, the story is about different characters- Meghana (Kajal) believes in doing everything differently, she always wants variety and the only person who can give her the correct direction in this is RJ Maddy (madhavan), there is Anand (navadeep) who has been trying hard to get married and finally he meets the girl of his dreams Anjali (aditi). Then there is Noori (bindu) whose wedding gets fixed with an army officer and she is waiting for him. But then, there is Noori's brother Baba who is a bomb expert. He gets an assignment from terrorists to make bombs that will blow up Hyderabad. Also, there is Teja (nikhil) whose only aim in life is to become like hero Ravi Teja. All of them have their own stories but at one point their paths cross each other. How does that happen and what are the changes they see in their life forms the rest of the story.

Presentation

The director has come up with a good thought but then he failed to conceive it on the screen in the right manner. The presentation was okay but the narrative was haphazard. The dialogues were good at places, the script was weak and the screenplay was erratic. Background score was a letdown and not much in songs either. Cinematography was good at few places. Editing was okay. Costumes were good, art department was nice. Navadeep did justice to his role, Kajal Agarwal was alright, she looked sexy in one song, Aditi Sharma was neat, Nikhil was vibrant as usual, Bindu Madhavi was brief, Madhavan was a surprise package, he looked good, Murali Mohan was brief, Sunil managed few smiles, Pragathi was regular, the others didn't have much to offer.

Conclusion

Getting too many characters and that too with different backdrops tends to create a discontinuity. The concentration of the audience is diverted and they wont be able to connect the with the story at any point. While the first half goes about with the introduction of the characters and their stories, the second half shows the twists in their lives. The climax was disappointing and confusing. Overall, the film was good in technical values but execution of the plot was very poor. The film will need strong publicity if it has to click at the box office.

verdict: Good thought, poor execution
