Rock (Sai Dharam Tej) is a happy go lucky guy who only cares about women’s beauty. Amrutha (Saiyami Kher) is a girl with ambition to win dance competition. What happens when Rock falls in love with Amrutha? What about Amrutha’s ambition? Is there any trouble brewing to it and how it is overcome is what the film is about?

by Attakathi Dinesh for help. There is this taxi driver, played by Sathish whose taxi is used by terrorists to destroy the city by planting a bomb which will explode when the terrorist makes a phone call. And then there is this brainy tech savvy college drop out, played by Nakul who is jobless but makes a living by helping engineering students in their projects. A natural calamity occurs leading to a major network jam which snuffs out the much needed signal from each and every mobile phones in the city.

Movies like Vikramarkudu and Lakshyam made her stand in film industry and she has been flown with offers after that.

She has attracted the audience with her performance as well as her glamour which made her famous all over. After scoring decent hits like Souryam and Chintakayala Ravi, Anushka has taken a bold step which changed her life.

She has signed for a woman centric film titled Arundathi which her an overnight star. The audience have been left awestruck and stunning with her performance in the movie and the film emerged as one of the biggest hit in the history of Telugu cinema. She has been approached with bundles of woman centric films thereafter but Anushka has done many different genre films during an important stage in her career which established her as a top actress.

She scored super hits like Billa, Singham, Vedam, Ragada, Damarukam and Mirchi which completely have been different in their own style. After crossing the mark of 30s, heroines will be the final choice however Anushka has still been the first choice for some of the movies and so she has been approached for periodic epics like Rudramadevi and Baahubali which have been made on a huge budget and completed shoot recently.

Anushka’s performance along with the graphics and the 3D quality are said to be the highlights of the film and Rudramadevi has been produced by Gunasekhar himself on Guna Team Works banner.

STORY Hunterrr is about Mandar Ponkshe (Gulshan Devaiah) who is a sex addict. He is attracted to girls from his childhood and he has multiple relations with girls. Apart from having an affair with a swimmer, Parul (Veera Saxena), Mandar also falls for a housewife Jyotsna (Sai Tamhankar) and ends up having a relationship with her, just to fulfill his sexual desire. As time passes he decides to get married to a girl through arranged marriage. He realizes that none of them are comfortable with him after knowing his past. This is when he meets Trupti (Radhika Apte), who is a modern, outspoken kind of girl. He decides not to reveal about his past and the rest of the movie is if Trupti comes to know about his past and will she marry him.

Analysis The first half of the movie is brilliant and it comes with lot of adult entertainment. The transformation of a boy into a guy has been well explained which leaves many in surprise. The sexual desire of an young man has been conveyed well. On the whole the complete first half of the film has been brilliant in narration with the leads performing their best.

The second half of the movie has been interesting with adult comedy coming down and the factor of love replacing it. The complete second half of the movie has been very interesting except some flaws in the love making episodes between Gulshan and Radhika Apte. On the whole the second half of the film ends decent.

Performance Gulshan Devaiah who proved his worth earlier has delivered an outstanding performance in the film and is the asset for the film. Radhika Apte has been brilliant and confident with her character in the movie.

Actress Sai Tamhankar is absolutely stunning and she can have any man fall flat for her. All others have given out their best for the movie.

The story of the movie has been simple and what makes the film impressive is the screenplay along with the dialogues which does not need a brain to think. They have been straight and simple which catches everyone’s attention. The music has been adequate and the cinematography has been wonderful. The production values have been grand enough and the director has revealed the concept with lot of clarity and commitment.

Some of the shocking scandalous content in the trailer would also have to go in the film.

Says a source from the CBFC, “The trailer had been passed by the previous CBFC team and it contained a lot of objectionable language. There is nothing we could do about it. However the language censored in the film was done according to suitability of the theme. We were aware that Hunterrr was a sex comedy. We went along with the risque dialogues as much as we could.”

However, the CBFC suggested instead of beeps, the objectionable portions of the dialogues be re-recorded to avoid jerks in the soundtrack.

Final Word Hunterrr is a brilliant execution of an adult concept in an engaging and entertaining way. Except some flaws in the second half, the movie has been worth watching. On the whole Hunterrr is worth watching.

Says a source from the production house Phantom (who emerged triumphant last week with NH10), “We were asked to make changes in the dialogue, which we did.

It was not that difficult since the actors are relatively less busy. If the film starred A-listers it would have been impossible to re-do the dubbing. But our very dedicated team of actors Gulshan Devaiya, Radhika Apte and Sai Tamhankar diligently went through the entire dubbing process again. We’ve substituted lines and words for what was seen by the CBFC as unacceptable verbal content.

We’re now censored with an ‘A’ certificate and ready for release.”

In the meanwhile, a controversy has been broken out over Hunterrr co-producer Anurag Kashyap’s comments about the earlier sex comedy Grand Masti.

Kashyap’s statement that he wouldn’t see Grand Masti even if he was paid 5 crore rupees to do so has not gone down with the Grand Masti writer Milap Zaveri, who has blasted Kashyap.

An unnamed representative of the production house Phantom says, “Anurag loves to shoot off his mouth.

We’ve no control over what he says. We do not stand by his comments on Grand Masti. It was directed by a veteran filmmaker Indra Kumar whom we all grew up admiring. Hunterrr is a sex comedy too. There is no need to act holier-than-thou about our sex comedy being morally superior to others. When naked, everyone looks the same.”

VERDICT: On the whole, S/O Satyamuthy is surely not the best work from DSP. However, there are enough songs which will create an impact and top the charts. Chal Chale Chalo, Seetakalam and One & Two & Three are our picks and will be liked by one and all.

S/O SATYAMURTHY – DECENT ALBUM The magical duo of Allu Arjun and Devi Sri Prasad have teamed up yet again for S/O Satyamurthy.

The audio of the film has hit the market and let’s see how the complete album is.

SONG 1: CHAL CHALE CHALO Analysis:- The album starts of with the song ‘Chal Chale Chalo’ which is in typical DSP style. Sung by Raghu Dixit, this song has meaningful lyrics and the orchestration is Indian.

This song instantly reminds you of tracks from DSP’s previous films, but the way the hook up line ‘Chal Chale Chalo’ is composed makes this song interesting.

SONG 2 : ONE & TWO & THREE Analysis:- The second song in the album is ‘One & Two & Three’ which is a quirky party number. Lyrics are interesting and gel with the song quite well. Mood of the song is upbeat and Sooraj’s singing is impressive. This song will hit you more once you listen to it multiple times.

SONG 3 : SEETAKALAM Analysis:- Moving on, the third song in the album is the romantic number Seetakalam.

Probably the best song in the album, this number hits you instantly with its soothing tune.

Lyrics are romantic and the English rap in between is pretty good and makes it an instant chart buster.

SONG 4 : SUPER MACHI Analysis:- The fourth song is the album is Super Machi. A full on mass number which has DSP’s trademark beats. Aimed totally at the masses, DSP makes this song his own with his energetic singing. There’s nothing special about the tune but the song will be a bigger hit after you watch Allu Arjun’s crazy dance steps.

SONG 5 : COME TO THE PARTY Analysis:- The album moves ahead with an interesting song ‘Come to the Party’. A complete jazz based number which has a true old school charm, this number has funny lyrics and Vijay Prakash’s singing makes it decently hummable.

SONG 6 : JAARUKO Analysis:- The sixth song in the album is the fun song Jaaruko. Sung effortlessly by DSP’s brother Saagar, there is nothing great about the tune and the quirky lyrics are the only saving grace of this passable song.

His performance from the movie Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu has received critical reception and the actor focused on commercial entertainers thereafter. His next movie Ala Modalaindi was sure a game changer for this hero as the film minted huge money and emerged as the biggest hit in his career. Nandini Reddy made her debut as director with this film and Nithya Menon has come to limelight for her terrific performance in Ala Modalaindi. After that Nani has never spent time to see back and he scored some top class hits like Pilla Jamindaar. He grabbed a golden opportunity in Rajamouli’s magnum opus Eega and he signed the film though he had a short prominent role.

As usual, Eega tasted huge success and Nani too shot fame for his crisp and cute performance in the movie. This is when this young hero has seen a downfall as his next movies failed to impress the audience. Though his next film Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu with Samantha raked good reviews, the movie failed to succeed commercially. Gowtham Menon directed the movie and the music composed by Ilayaraja was a huge hit among the youth.

“

THE INTERESTING THING IS EVADE SUBRAMANYAM AND JENDA PAI KAPIRAJU HAVE HIT THE SCREENS ON MARCH 21ST ON THE EVE OF UGADI. NANI HAS BEEN QUITE CONFIDENT ON THESE MOVIES AND IS IN PLANS TO BOUNCE BACK WITH TWO SUPER HITS AND MAKE HIS PLACE PROMINENT IN THE LIST OF TOP LEAGUE ACTORS

During this time his tamil movie Jenda Pai Kapiraju could not release in Telugu due to financial issues. Nani has taken enough gap and recollected things about his career. He was not in a hurry and decided to bounce back with a needed commercial break.

He started shooting for his next project Evade Subramanyam and the shoot of the movie has been wrapped up recently.

Nag Ashwin is making his directorial debut with Evade Subramanyam and the movie has been in news from the day the first look teaser of the movie has been out. Nani, Ritu Verma and Malavika Nair played the main leads in the movie and the recently released audio of the movie is a huge hit all over. Radhan who composed fantastic album for Andala Rakshasi provided the music for this movie. Swapna Dutt and Priyanka Dutt produced the movie on Swapna Cinema banner.

The poetic and crispy narration of the movie has been quite interesting and the expectations have been decent on this film.

Exclusive Interview Raashi Khanna – Glamour alone cannot sustain you

Raashi Khanna is one of the most promising young heroines in the Industry today. She made her acting debut with John Abraham’s ‘Madras Cafe’. But in Telugu, it was Srinivas Avasarala’s ‘Oohalu Gusagusalade’ that made her very popular.

Raashi Khanna comes across as a very smart woman and she has been making some good career choices. Her next film is ‘Jil’ and she will be seen as Savithri in this movie.

Q) It is a pretty routine question but we have the character is to the director. How is she going to to ask this. How are you feeling about your talk. Are there any specific mannerisms or character traits? I don’t want to be myself in the character. I want upcoming release?

(Smiles) I think we have delivered a great product as a team. There are all elements that are required for an entertainer. I am not an action person but I just loved the scenes in this movie. The rain fight will stand out.

It is WOW.

to be the character.

I am confident that it will do well. We want people to walk out with a smile.

(Face lights up) I just love Hyderabad and I would like to settle down here. When I was in Mumbai, I used to crib about missing Delhi. But now, Hyderabad is my favourite place.

Q) Can you tell us something about your character? I am playing the role of Savithri, who is a very bubbly but traditional girl. It is a very character driven role.

Q) Compared to your previous films, you seem to have upped the glamour quotient for Jil. How much of a challenge was this?Acting for this role was a bit challenging. This is because Savithri’s character is very bubbly but I am not as bubbly in real life. As for the glamour, you will see that it is limited to the songs mainly. I had nothing in my mind while accepting this role.There was no agenda to be glamorous to change my image.

Q) As an actress, what kind of films would you like to do?I want every film of mine to be different from my previous one. But honestly, things are not completely in my mind. I just don’t want to be typecast.

I wish writers can pen more impactful characters for women. At the end of the day,we are actors. Glamour alone cannot sustain you for years to come. Even if the character is very small, it should have some impact.

Q) When a director pitches a role to you, what do you look for?I ask a lot of questions when the

This is what I see whenever someone comes to me with a role.

Q) How do you like Hyderabad?

Q) What kind of a co-star is Gopichand?

He is a very humble and down to earth guy and I wonder if he even knows what a big movie star he is.

He does not get angry on sets and I actually asked him once about his secret to remaining so calm. He is very supportive and tries to bring out the best from his costars. He wants everything to be a collective effort. It was very comfortable working with him.

Q) What projects are you working on right now?I am working with Bengal Tiger, with Ravi Teja.

That is the only confirmed project as of now. I am listening to other scripts and some projects are in the pipeline.

We ended our conversation with Raashi on that note and wished her the very best for ‘Jil’. We hope you enjoyed reading this interview.

A MAN WITH

COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON CINEMA Dibakar Benarjee has a prominent place in the list of top Bollywood directors because of innovative narration with his movies. He has stepped out completely from the commercial format of cinema and he has his unique style of narration and execution.

He has started his career in advertising and he has done several commercials which caught good attention. He has received critical acclaim for his movies Khosla Ka Ghosla and Oye Lucky Lucky Oye which won National awards. Both the films have been commercially successful and have received critical reception from the movie critics.

His third film Love Sex Aur Dhokha has been based on the Delhi 2004 MMS scandal. This marked the first Indian film to be shot entirely on digital camera A cutting satire on lapsing social mores fuelled by materialistic greed and technological media advancement, it continued his oeuvre of grappling with the life of anchor-less middle-class & the completely amoral nouveau riche thrown up by India’s economic boom of the 1990s. Screened in key festivals around the world it went on to get him international acclaim.

He has taken enough gaps between his films however he has focused completely on the screenplay with his movies. He has stepped out with Shangai in 2012 which was a potential political thriller starring Emraan Hashmi and Abhay Deol. The film is based on the 1967 Greek novel Z written by Vassilis Vassilikos, which was also made into a film by Costa-Gavras. The film could not make good money however it has received critical acclaim all over.

Anurag Kashyap and Sudhir Mishra came out in defence of Dibakar, when Anurag went on record to say- “the actress is mentally unstable and needs help”, while Sudhir commented- “Casting couch does not exist in the industry. If someone sleeps with another, it is out of their own choice”.

Dibakar is now back with his latest movie Detective Byomkesh Bakshy which is yet to hit the screens this April. The theatrical trailer of the movie created ripples all over and is the most awaited Bollywood film in the recent times. Sushant Singh Rajput, Anand Tiwari and Swastika Mukherjee played the main leads in the movie which is based on the fictional detective Byomkesh Bakshicreated by the Bengali writer Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay. The movie has been produced by Aditya Chopra and Dibakar Banerjee on Yash Raj Films and Dibakar Banerjee Productions which has been slated for a massive release on April 3rd, 2015. Dibakar has expressed his confidence on the movie and he said that the movie will sure be liked by the audience as it has some really stunning and suspense elements which will leave them stunning and keep them engaged.

Model and actress Payal Rohatgi had accused Dibakar of resorting to ‘casting couch’ practices, going on to explain how the director barged into her house one day between 9-10pm, seemingly drunk, and asked her to lift her shirt and show him her tummy. Payel asked him to leave immediately, and thereafter the director never replied to any of her calls/messages, while Payal was trying to get in touch with him to know if she was selected for the role (for Dibakar’s then upcoming movie) for which she had auditioned earlier. Directors Hope Dibakar will add one more proud feather to his cap with Detective Byomkesh Bakshy

THE STORY OF A

CINEMATOGRAPHER TURNED DIRECTOR KV Anand is a multi talented technician who has made his entry as a cinematographer and he has achieved many awards and rewards as a cinematographer. He has worked with the finest technicians down South which made him one of the best cinematographers in no time. He has won National award as cinematographer for his debut movie Thenmavin Kombath which is the best example for his talent.

He has worked with top directors like Shankar and he has slowly made his turn towards Bollywood and he worked as a cinematographer for movies likeDoli Saja Ke Rakhna, Josh, Nayak, The Legend of Bhagat Singh and Khakee.

His Tamil movies included Kadhal Desam, Nerukku Ner, Mudhalvan, Virumbugiren, Chellamae and Sivaji.

Almost all his movies ended as super hits at the boxoffice and his cinematography work has been specially appreciated by the audience and critics. However all these opportunities did not reach him easily and there was an enough struggle behind it. Anand applied for a full-time position as a photo journalist for India Today during his initial days, but failed to get the job offer.

Anand, disappointed, left to Andaman Islands for a month. During this wilderness trip, Anand decided to make his transition from photo journalism to cinematography.

Then he has joined PC Sreeram and worked for many of his movies which turned his life. After a super successful career as a cinematographer, Anand has taken a bold step to direct movies which left everyone in surprise. However he surprised everyone with his work in direction after his movies released. He made his debut as director with Kana Kandaen in 2005 and then after four years he directed Ayan with Suriya in the main lead which was a huge hit in Tamil.

completely was Ko starring Jeeva and Karthika Nair which was a sensational hit all over. The movie has been dubbed into Telugu as Rangam which got the same result over there. With Ko KV Anand has been named as the most talented cinematographer turned director from South. He has always tried some critical scripts and executed them well with his stupendous narration. Anand’s fourth directorial venture saw his collaborate with Suriya again in Maattrraan (2012), and was inspired to make the film after watching a documentary about the conjoined twins Chang and Eng Bunker.

He came up with Anegan starring Dhanush and Amyra Dastur which released in February and the movie opened with packed houses all over. The movie minted Rs 50 crores in Tamil Nadu and ended as the biggest hit in Dhanush’s career. The movie has received exceptional response all over and is declared as a super hit at the box-office. Despite being a cinematographer himself, K. V. Anand opts not to wield the camera for his own ventures and has actively tried to select different cinematographers for each of his projects, though Soundararajan has worked with him twice. During the script-writing process, Anand often finishes up to six drafts, though mentions he rarely “locks his script”, suggesting it is always open to changes for improvisations on the sooting spot.

He often rephrases dialogues; and sometimes has invented titles during the drafting process, being constantly on the lookout for short and crisp titles.

The movie that changed his life K. V. Anand has collaborated with composer Harris Jayaraj, editor Anthony and script writers Subha for several of his ventures, describing them as “constant fixtures”.

While noting he shares a good rapport with Jayaraj APRIL 2015 | WWW.CINESPRINT.COM

peaking about movies Kamal revealed saying “I was always a reluctant actor!

I continue to be that. I announce a project, the camera rolls and I’m happy.

I’m fortunate to be doing leading parts even now. Except for my mentor K. Balachander, for whom I can do even a walk-on part. When he directed his 100th film, I just walked in to do a small role. I just clowned around on camera. Legendary director K Balachandar introduced Kamal Haasan to films and he always respect Balachandar as his guru.

Speaking about his guru “Balachander is my inspiration. He had a heart problem 40 years back. He has been making films for another 46 years. He can never grow old. My father used to be like that until he suffered a stroke. Then I suddenly realized he was an old man.That’s also true of my brothers Chandra Haasan and to an extent Charu Haasan.I can never imagine them being old”. The Legendary director passed away recently and Kamal paid his tribute for his guru. He also offered him a prominent role in his upcoming movie Uttama Villan which will release soon.

Kamal Haasan won the prestigious President’s Gold Medal for his performance in Kalathur Jannamma at the age of four which is quite surprising. He had a spark of being a star since childhood. He became the first Indian actor to get Rs 1 crore as remuneration for a single movie and it happened in 1994. It was Rajesh Khanna who was the highest paid actor in those days till Kamal crossed him. Kamal is currently busy with three of his movies Uttama Villan, Vishwaroopam 2 and Papanasam.

Uttama Villan has been directed by Ramesh Aravind and the script has been penned

by Kamal himself. Andrea and Pooja Kumar are the heroines and Ghibraan is the music composer. The movie has been produced by Kamal Haasan and N Lingusamy.

Vishwaroopam 2 has completed shoot and is in post production. The movie has been directed and produced by Kamal Haasan on Raajkamal Films International banner.

Papanasam is the remake of Malayalam blockbuster movie Drishyam and Gouthami played the female lead in the movie which will release soon.

ARIES Mercury is in Aries until the 15th of April and it helps you to negotiate anything, a better position, a loan with better interest, more independence in a relationship…Mars is in your financial domain and it pushes you to compulsive buying.

You have a hard time controlling your desires.

Jupiter in Leo is really good for your love life, it gives a fun ambiance, and your relationship is passionate but neither heavy, nor clingy, just fine. Some Aries in a couple will share some secrets this month, but careful before speaking, make sure your partner can take it.

CANCER

TAURUS Mars is in Taurus the whole month of April and it gives you a fantastic energy, you wake up ready to go to work, run at the gym, and get out every evening without feeling tired. Your days are so active that you sleep deeply at night. A conflict with your father will find a resolution on the 22nd, you need to tell the truth, you have a hard time keeping your feelings inside, but some people need time to absorb it. You also want to speak about your future with your boss.

This should go really well if you do it after April 15, when Mercury enters in Taurus. Love is passionate.

Your career is your priority because you don’t have the choice. Your company needs your skills and emergencies keep happening. Thanks to Uranus you find smart solutions to resolve everything even under pressure. You may be frustrated in your love life after April 12, it can be related to the fact that you are both busy with work, family and you don’t have much time for intimacy. May will be a better month for love, no doubt. You let go of a friendship as the friend may have become too critical of you or too different.

LEO Jupiter and Uranus bring a strong energy to your life, you are ready to make some changes but it will not be difficult or heavy, on the contrary it will be easy and fluid. Enjoy the good coincidences that make things right in your life. You help a friend, in return he or she helps in return for something you did not even ask for. You have news from friends who want to take you on a weekend. You are open to all the good events and your life is happy. Love is strong and you go to the same direction, making fun projects.

GEMINI Venus will be in Gemini on April 12 until May 8, if you are looking for love, good coincidences are happening and you end up meeting a new partner in incredible circumstances.

Get out of your routine and accept any dinner especially if unexpected. At work, women will be really nice to you, your coworkers or clients, you are so charming. You may develop some breathing allergies, pollens for example. If you are in a couple you are closer and closer, the level of confidence for one another is high as well as respect. You enjoy also good friends’ company.

STARGAZING WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | APRIL 2015

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS

Family problems are important to you and even if you are not directly concerned, you want to help and fix the situations.

Don’t feel bad if this spontaneous support is not accepted, let relatives handle their own problems, they can do it. Love is deep and sincere if you are in a couple. Single meet different partners but they are not convinced they should go forward with any of them. Friends are a good value as you can count on them to be on your side. You start a healthy lifestyle, sport, good food and sleep, you are disciplined enough for that.

SCORPIO You are confused about your financial situation, some expenses you did not expect take by surprise, you will need to bring your budget back to balance next month. You will be upset by the attitude of a brother or sister, and you tell what you think even at the risk to be confrontational.

Love is romantic and Neptune brings a soft atmosphere between the 2 of you especially if he or she is Cancer or Pisces. It may be more complicated with a Gemini or a Taurus. At work, you succeed in a difficult mission and you will be proud of yourself.

Life is good for you in April: you may travel and you love that more than anything, your love life is positive, you share the same energy same appetite for life and fun. Single, you meet unexpectedly somebody who matches your criteria. You may have to change some projects because you want to spend some time together. You are able to reschedule everything just for love. At work, you are super motivated, wanting to prove yourself that you can do more, better or faster. And if you get compliments for that, it is better.

LIBRA

Your relationship is your priority and you are talking freely about projects for the future, new home, baby maybe, another level of commitment anyway. Single, you meet a complicated person, so you will be flipflopping, one step forward, and one step backward. You are not simple either. At work, you try to adjust to some changes, but you are distracted and you may do some mistakes that need last minute checking. Reread your emails before sending them. Financially you need to pay attention to your expenses.

AQUARIUS Be sure that you are being honest with yourself and everyone around you on the 1st. Little white lies can be more damaging than painful truths, and painful truths are healthier than evasion or hoping it will all just go away. No, you don’t need to open your heart to everyone in your vicinity. But you do need to be straight with folks.

By the 5th and 6th, you’re feeling like you might need to update your exercise routine. Do it! The stronger you are physically, the better things will go for you. Give some serious thought to the career path you’re following on the 10th and 11th. Is it the right one for you? You are in for some amazing news and awesome vibes and terrific experiences on the 17th and 18th.

CAPRICORN You want to transform your home, and you are ready to throw away lots of stuff that you are not using anymore. Capricorns are usually keepers so getting rid of stuff is a huge step for them. You may rediscover some photos that will bring emotions because of the memories they express. Your love life is active, you do a lot of walk, running dancing, swimming together. No doubt you will be fit at the end of the month. Your health is really good after April 14th, as Venus will bring a good energy for well-being.

PISCES Love and romance and flowers and poetry are what’s on your mind on the tantalizing 1st. That’s great! You love to love, and you love to be loved, and this energy is really going to build you up. There’s just nothing quite like it for making you feel alive! By the 5th and 6th, you could be called on to help some friends navigate a tricky relationship dilemma. A light touch is key. Luck is on your side on the 12th and 13th.

Be aware, at work, on the 10th and 11th - there is someone who is jealous of your success. Everything is working out pretty awesomely on the 19th and 20th and you feel happier and more content than ever. Why not visit a meditation course, or go to a dietician, or both, on the 25th or 26th? You are in good shape, but if there are any lingering anxieties or ongoing colds that you want to deal with, now is a good time.
