Vidya Balan "The Dirty Picture" First Look

Asin Focussing on that kind of Roles

‘London Dreams’ might have disappointed Asin, but with the commercial success of her recent film ‘Ready’ costarring Salman Khan again, the actress took a long breath. Yes, this professional young lady who was desperate for a hit in Bollywood finally tasted it with ‘Ready’. Although that film did not fetch her many offers, she seems to be currently satisfied with the film ‘Houseful 2’. Speaking to a leading newspaper Asin said she is looking forward to that kind of roles which has good scope for the performance in films with fully commercial ingredients. Nonetheless, she also claims that one has to be lucky enough to get such meaty roles. So folks, let’s hope that the new wish of Asin will get fulfilled very soon

Today's Release - Sumanth's Daggaraga Dooramga Review

Daggaraga Dooramga Review – Daggaraga Dooramga Telugu Movie Review, Rating: Sumanth, who has been struggling for form has come up with his latest film Daggaraga Dooramga, which is labeled as a romantic thriller. Ravi Kumar Chavali has directed this film which is produced by J. Sambasiva Rao on Sudha Cinema banner. Here is the review of Daggaraga Dooramga…

Story:

Gowtham (Sumanth) is an ad filmmaker creates an ‘imaginary model’ for one of his ad films. That model happens to be Meenakshi (Vedika), whose engagement gets canceled due to Gowtham’s sleazy ads. Meenakshi comes to Hyderabad from Vizag to take action on that ad agency.

She contacts her close friend Zareen (Sindu Tolani), who is an investigative journalist to take action against them. Zareen is on a dangerous mission at that time as she wants to expose the facts about a dreadful terrorist attack. Zareen hands over a DVD which contains all the details about the terrorist attack to Meenakshi before she gets killed by them.

Now terrorists are after Meenakshi for that DVD and she will be accompanied by Gowtham, who comes to rescue her. Meenakshi and Gowtham have to run away from the terrorists and also stop the planned terror attack. How do they succeed in doing so forms the rest of the story.

Analysis:

Our filmmakers never get tired of making films about terrorist attacks. We have seen many a film till now on the same lines and Daggaraga Dooramga is moreover very ‘Daggaraga’ to most of those mediocre thrillers.

The concept of the film is very silly and lacks logic. There are too many loopholes to ignore. Director lacks vision and clarity over the concept he has taken up. First half is okay to some extent with irrelevant comedy scenes. Second hour should have been gripping and serious to keep the audiences on the edge of their seats.

The screenplay is very loose and lacks the necessary thrills to make this a winner.

Performances:

Sumanth is Okay in his role which doesn’t really test him at any level. Vedika is good looking and can act. Brahmanandam is fine and the only saving grace of this film, especially in the second hour. Raghu Babu, Rajesh, Krishna Bhagavan tried their best to make the audience laugh. There is nothing significant from the remaining star cast.

Technicalities:

Music by Raghu Kunche is ordinary. Not a single song remains with you. Cinematography is fine for a small budget film. Editing is Okay. Daggaraga Dooramga is made on a shoestring budget and that should keep the producer in safe zone.

Ravi Kumar Chavali, who made a far better film Samanyudu failed to reach at least half of it with DD. There are many scenes which would raise doubts about his capabilities as a director.

Final Word: Stay as close as to your homes and as far as from this movie theatres!

Daggaraga Dooramga Movie Rating: 2/5

Banner: Sudha Cinema
Cast: Vedika, Sumanth
Music: Raghu Kunche

Today's Release - Money Money More Money Review

Story:

Chakri (JD), Raghu (Brahmaji), Gogi (Kevin Dev) and Abbas (Mukul Dev) are four unemployed persons that plot a kidnap to earn quick bucks. They kidnap Maggie (Tara Alisha) and put her in Khan Dada (Brahmanandam) house. Khan has lost all the power as he lost all his assets due to recession. As Maggie’s father is not available to settle the ransom, the kidnappers have to wait for sometime. To keep their identities intact they kidnap every person that knocks at Khan Dada’s doors. Do they succeed in making money or not is the remaining story.

Analysis:

Although JD called it as Money 3, it is nowhere connected to first two parts of Money, except for naming two principle characters as Khan Dada and Chakri. This is instead a remake of Hindi film ‘Dharwaja Bandh Rakho’ which was directed by JD. DBR was inspired from a Korean comedy ‘Attack the Gas Station’.

DBR was a flop in Hindi, but JD felt that there is scope to remake it and sell it off as a part of Money franchise. His idea succeeded to some extent as this film has drawn decent opening. However, it is nowhere near to the evergreen comedy hit Money.

Money Money more Money is a badly made film with no proper screenplay and no good comedic scenes. JD simply remade his Darwaja Bandh Rakho film in Telugu despite its failure in Hindi. He didn’t make any changes to make it a hit. It is an insult to Khan Dada’s character as this film made a mockery of that legendary role which played big part in making Brahmi as the king of comedy.

Performances:

Brahmanandam is wasted in this film. He tried his best to shoulder the film but the cheaply written character didn’t help him at all. JD is usual. Brahmaji is good. Tara Alisha is a pain to watch. She doesn’t know the basics of acting. Gajala looked aged. Venu Madhav is routine. Nagababu, Rajeev Kanakala, Jeeva and others played their parts well.

Technicalities:

Marudhuri Raja dialogues are flat. Except a joke here and there nothing clicked. He failed to recreate the magic that was done in Money. Chakri’s music is a big let down. Money 3 is a lackluster film on the technical front too.

JD Chakravarthy is a decent actor and he should stick to what he is good at. He doesn’t have the mettle to prove himself as a successful director. All of his films to date were either remakes or copy stuff. He can’t create a new character on his own. He can’t do justice to the already legendary characters too. It is high time that he stops directing films.

Final Word: Money 3 is an insult to Money franchise

Chiranjeevi on his 150th film

From the time Big B said “149 is not the right figure for u You have to make it a round figure”, Megastar Chiranjeevi is looking forward for his 150th eagerly.

On Wednesday evening he attended a local event along with his wife Surekha. At that moment while interacting with the media he said, “Of late everyone is asking about my 150th film. During my recent visit to Delhi the Central Minister Jairam Ramesh also raised the same topic and said that he read about Amitabh’s suggestion to me about my 150th film in a newspaper. He said that he too wish the same and insisted me on that. I’m also thinking deeply about the film, let’s see,” he concluded.

Tagore to be remade in Hindi?

The latest buzz in tollywood is that Chiru's superhit Tagore, in which he plays a college professor who turns vigilante when he loses his family due to acts of corruption, might be remade in Bollywood.

And the director of the original, A R Murugadoss(Tamil version Ramana), is being approached by several leading B-Town heroes to reprise the lead role.

A source says, "Leading Hindi actors have watched the Telugu original and are keen to act in its remake. With the anti-corruption movement being discussed widely in the media these days, it's the ideal film to make." Sources state that if Murugadoss tweaks the script a bit to suit Bollywood sensibilities, it's sure to click with the audiences. "The subject of the film is a theme that appeals to every Indian and Murugadoss, who gave Aamir Khan a super role in the Hindi remake of Ghajini, should do justice to a Hindi version of Telugu as well." Meanwhile, we also hear that Santhosh Sivan will helm the camera for the director's next flick with Ilayathalapathy Vijay.

When TOI contacted A R Murugadoss, he said, "I'd like to remake Tagore in Hindi, but things have to fall in place. Post the release of 7am Arivu, I'll be doing a Tamil film with Vijay. A Hindi project with Akshay Kumar is also on the cards."

Check out Dirty Picture's poster --- Vidya Balan Tooo Hott...!!!

Vidya Balan has never exposed as much - but in the first look of "The Dirty Picture", inspired by late southern sex icon Silk Smitha's life, she has painted a perfect picture in an itsy-bitsy red blouse matched with luscious red lipstick.

The actress stands undaunted even as three men - Naseeruddin Shah, Tusshar Kapoor and Emraan Hashmi - get too close for comfort in the poster, which was released on social networking sites Friday.

"The poster and the logo of the film has a very 1980s feel to it because the movie is set in that period. We will be launching the first trailer of 'The Dirty Picture' in Mumbai August 30," Girish Johar, head of acquisition and distribution, Balaji Motion Pictures, told IANS over the phone from Mumbai.

The film is set to release Dec 2, the birth anniversary of Silk Smitha, who became a symbol of sensuality after featuring in bold and semi-nude roles. Later, financial crises and personal problems took a toll on her life.

It is this moving story that has been captured in this latest offering by Ekta Kapoor.

In tune with the period that the movie is set in, the Balaji unit has chosen to launch the first trailer at Galaxy, a single screen theatre in Mumbai.

"It is because the movie has the 1980s charm of Indian cinema, we chose not to go to any five star hotel or a multiplex to launch the first teaser. The theatre will be set up in a way that reminds people of good old times," said Johar.

MoNeY MoNeY more MoNeY releasing today(Preview) ..!!!

Though sequels are coming in good number in Telugu these days, we have so far not seen someone making a sequel for a film released many years ago.  Money, Money And More Money is an exception.  JD Chakravarthy steps into director's shoes, besides playing a lead role in the movie, the first part of which was directed by Shiva Nageshwara Rao (Money Money).  It was release way back in 1995.

It stars ace comedian Brahmanandam in a very important role, next only to JD's in prominence, and we will watch him as a crest-fallen real estate magnate who has been battered by huge losses in the wake of slum in the market. 

As said by the makers, the film takes off from the point where Money Money ended.  Four kidnappers enter the household of Khan Dada (Brahmanandam) and what follows is a laugh riot, with intrigue and suspense thrown in.  Gajala, Tara Alisha and Asha Saini play other characters.

After films like Siddham and Homam, the film is almost like an acid test for JD.  His mind works much like his guru, RGV, in the sense that he takes up experimental subjects, never mind they may be inspired.

Much rides on the crowd-pulling strength of Brahmi now.  With audience wanting to watch him one more time film after film, Money.. offers them a huge dose of comedy on the platter.

The question is, will Brahmi and JD live up to the expectations?
