Shivani Shivaji Roy (Rani Mukerji) is a senior inspector with the Crime Branch department. She is a tough cop, who is unforgiving on criminals, and has established her own style of investigation thanks to her fearless attitude. Pyaari, an orphan girl, is kidnapped one day and so Shivani steps in to investigate this case and very soon, she realizes that there is a big human trafficking mafia behind this kidnapping.

Final Word On the whole, Mardaani is an out and out Rani Mukherji film and her performance as a fearless cop definitely keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. Barring a few brutal scenes, the film’s gripping narration and the performances make this film a must watch.

Singham Returns Story Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgn) is still the strict, disciplined cop who believes in changing the society more than punishing. He has his own norms of functioning but it is expected of him that he tones down. Afterall, the supercop is now posted in Mumbai. He is given the responsibility of providing protection to Guruji, a political stalwart who dies under his custody.

Final Word Singham Returns doesn’t match up to Singham and that is the failure of this franchise venture.

It is definitely a very watchable film with Ajay putting in his best foot forward in a role that brings out his caliber to the fullest but for those who are expecting a Rohit Shetty fun watch, this film is neither immensely entertaining or 12 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | SEPTEMBER 2014 superbly enjoyable.

MOVIE REVIEWS

Tollywood

Story Karthik(NTR) heads back to India, after completing his graduation in the US. On his arrival, his mother(Jayasudha) decides to get him married to her brothers daughter Indu(Samantha). Sadly, a small family dispute ends up in both the families getting separated. In order to fulfill his mothers wish, Karthik joins Indu’s college to somehow convince her for the wedding. There he encounters Bhagyam(Pranitha) who falls in love with him.

Final Word Star Cast : Music

:

Director :

Producer :

On a whole Rabhasa has nothing new to offer and no way an useful film for anyone. The comedy in the second half entertains the audience for a while and the predictable plot with a bad narration makes Rabhasa a below average film. Watch Rabhasa if you have too much time and patience.

Nee Jathaga Nenundali Story Raghav Jairam(Sachi Joshi) is a fading pop icon, who spots Gayatri(Nazia) at a bar in Goa. Impressed by her talented singing, Raghav promises to give her a break in the music industry.

As time passes by, he keeps up his promise, and gets Gayatri a huge break and makes her a renowned singer. In the due course of time, the couple also falls in love with each other.

Final Word Nee Jathaga Nenundali is no way Comparable and Close to the original. Because of the Stunning music, Lead pair performance and the production values the film ends decent.

Ashique 2 non watchers can watch the film once. One Time Watcher.

Irumbu Kuthirai

MOVIE REVIEWS

Kollywood

Story Irumbu Kuthirai is a shining example of cinema that dares to be different, of going against the set norms, of defying the rigid set of laws of Kollywood formulaic films. It was touted to be a first of its kind Tamil movie which has a race backdrop. The promo promised lot of slick action and was received well among the youth.

Final Word Star Cast : Music

:

Director : Producer :

Atharvaa, Priya Anand, Johnny Tri Nguyen Soundarya Rajinikanth , K.S. GV Prakash Kumar Ravikumar Yuvraj Bose Kalpathi S Aghoram

On the whole, Irumbu Kuthirai is a movie that fails on the script level which Yuvraj Bose has tried to compensate with a glossy presentation.

Sivappu Eanakku Pidikkum Story The movie based on a teenage girl Mahima (Sandra Amy), who get in to a trap of a guy who pretending love.The relationship ends with cheating mode and the girls turns to be prostitue, movie starts were she starts revealing her story to a person. Defining tht peoples who passed through her life and various ways. Her narration leads to 7 different stories which ending up with a shocking climax.

On the off chance that that is genuine then Gunasekhar must see himself as lucky in light of the fact that Allu Arjun will clearly indicate the furor of the film. A free show from him will guarantee no less than 10 to 15 crore collections capability of Rudramadevi.

Analysis : Story of the film is quite routine, and has nothing new ​to offer. First half of the film is quite simple, and has not much story in it. The fights that come quite often irritates us and the graphics in the fights are of low quality. The songs are shot so bad that we feel bored. NTR has nothing to do with the dance movements in the first half.

The second half starts on a comedy note entertaining us with some laughs.

Comedy episodes involving Brahmanandam are good and will largely entertain the audience.The twists in the story confuses the audience too much and finally the movie ends on a routine note.

Performance

Final Word On a whole Rabhasa has nothing new to offer and no way an useful film for anyone. The comedy in the second half entertains the audience for a while and the predictable plot with a bad narration makes Rabhasa a below average film. Watch Rabhasa if you have too much time and patience.

Even d only to the first half, she looks gorgeous hemistry with NTR. Jayaparakash Reddy haracted and gets full marks out of it. All s for their roles.

SoumyaSukumar on ‘Pora Pove’

“I have done a role in which it goes in parallel with the hero. Very few people will get such roles in the starting of their career.

I am very happy that I am one among them. Even though I am a Tamilian, I was born and brought up in Hyderabad,” stated this cute girl Soumya Sukumar, whose first film ‘Pora Pove’ is all set for release. In an interview, the actress shares about her and the film.

Your background details?

I’m basically a Tamilian, but I was born and brought up in Hyderabad. Dad is a sales tax department job holder, mom is a house wife and I have a younger sister.

I know Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, and English and apart from these I know French.

How did you get into the film industry?

I was into modeling since my childhood. I did few Ads for JC Brothers and Swasthik. That is how my journey started.

What is your parents’ reaction on your journey?

I came to the film industry only because of the support of my parents. They respected my decision and have given their support. I am here just because of their support and co-operation.

How did you get this first opportunity?

I came to know that director Krish is doing auditions for ‘Vedam’ and I was selected in that. My first opportunity came without much hard work.

Soumya Sukumar Exclusive Photos How was your working experience in the first film?

Sharwanand has already proved himself as a good actor. Though many of his films were critically acclaimed,he has no proper commercial hit in his 10 years long career.

But ‘Run Raja Run’ has changed his fate as an actor. This film, which was released on August 15th, has been running successfully with packed houses.

Sharwanand is very happy about it and in an exclusive interview with Indiaglitz, he has shared his joy, his experiences with director, music director, heroine, producers etc and his upcoming films.

Credit goes to them

filmmakers.

It is better to say that UV Creations has given me a hit, rather than I scored it. I’ve been waiting for 10 years for a success like this. I thank my friends, family members, media and all who have supported me.

Couldn’t come out of it

Fantastic response The response for the film is fantastic. The openings are very good and it is getting repeat audiences to the theatres to watch the film and we are getting messages that the film is very good. The response in overseas is overwhelming and we have even increased 30 theatres there.

They believed in me There is no special reason for the change in me . I am always selective regarding the scripts and always done scripts that I felt good. When Sujeeth came to me with this script, I asked him how did he imagine me in this role. He said that as an actor, I can do any kind of role. More than myself, my director and producers have believed in me and I thank them now.

He is an inspiration I’ve always done movies with new directors.

Whether it is ‘Vennela’, ‘Gamyam’ or ‘Journey’, they are all new directors then. I don’t consider if the director is big, small, new or experienced. I see their conviction and their passion about the movie.

Sujeeth has all the qualities required to become a director. He has come to the industry, doing many short films and proving himself in different genres.

He has worked very hard and I had no doubts regarding his talent. If you do a short film, you will have some basic ideas of film making. Trend is changing very fast. If at all the short filmmakers are doing good films, it is because they are working hard. It is good to see short film makers making it big here. Sujeeth is an inspiration to young

The film has started within a week after ‘Satya 2’ was completed. I couldn’t come out of the Satya character and when I asked the director and producers if we can start the film after a month, they said that we have start immediately as date issues may arise. We started then itself.

It is the best USP of them The producers are more like my family members.

I know Vicky from my childhood. Vamsi, Pramod and Vicky are very passionate about movies. They only know and think about cinema.They look after everything very well. That is the best USP of UV Creations.

Only because of Ghibran’s music If the movie has got good openings it is only because of Ghibran’s music. Repeat audiences are coming to the theatres to watch ‘Bujji Maa’ song.

The song is so popular that even small children are singing it. Even my brother’s children are singing Bujji maa in house and it is so sweet of Ghibran to give such a wonderful music.

Hardworking actress Seerath Kapoor is a fantastic actress. It is very difficult for actresses coming from Mumbai to tell Telugu dialogues. But for her first film itself, she learnt every dialogue and deliver it. She is very talented and hardworking actress. She is a very good dancer too.

He is our darling I should really thank Madhie for his amazing work. If I am look so handsome in the film, it is only because of him. We have shot the movie in Hyderabad. But many have felt if we’d really shot the film here.

WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | SEPTEMBER 2014

He has done such a wonderful job. He has given a different tone to the film. He is our darling and it is a great working with him.

Will Keep doing them I don’t think there is a particular genre called safe genre. We do every film with the same dedication and if we know it will not work out, why would we do it. I’ll keep doing different genres and it is my USP. Will work with them If the story is good, I will work with anyone. Any short filmmaker can come to me, if they have a good story. I will be more than happy to work with them.

Won’t act in those films I will produce films. But I will not act in those films.

It is important for me

you will say hats off to them. They have worked very hard to learn dance and fights. The way they moulded themselves regarding their body language or any other thing is praiseworthy. I am telling this because, I know them from my childhood. Many good actors like Naga Shourya and Raj Tarun are coming to the industry. It is good to see all of them and I am very happy about them.

Don’t believe in it I don’t believe in competition. There will be healthy competition between us, but if I see someone without background come to the industry and does well, I feel happy about them.

Thankful to them If we work hard, we will be successful in the industry. I will be ever thankful to the industry because it is the people here, who wished me a good success and congratulated after scoring me.

The positive talk has come out from here.

I don’t believe that I am a star. Stardom is what my films should bring me, but I won’t work towards it.

Many have wished that I should get a hit as I didn’t have it, though I am acting for 10 years.That love is very precious and important for me. I will work for that love, but not to get stardom.

Hats-off to them If you see the career graph of Bunny and Nithin,

Upcoming films I am currently doing a film produced by K.S.Ramarao. It is a very good love story. The shooting has been almost completed. I’ve also Tamil director Cheran’s movie in pipeline. Both the films will be released soon.

We are also planning to release the Tamil version of ‘Run Raja Run’.

Actor Allu Arjun, who recently starred in Sukumar-directed short film I Am That Change, says that the experience has made him respect the passion with which such projects are made. The Stylish Star admits that it is not easy to make them. His short film, which released on Friday on the occasion of Independence Day, focuses on being responsible as a citizen to celebrate freedom.

Besides acting, Allu Arjun has also produced I Am That Change, which has garnered highly positive response from the viewers online.

The actor added, “Sukumar and I planned to do this short film for social awareness. I think it was received well. When a star is associated with a campaign or idea, the reach is phenomenal. I feel we achieved something we couldn’t through our films.”

Talking to media, Allu Arjun said that making short films is challenging. He said, “Even though I’m a successful actor and own a big production house, I found it challenging to make this short film.

It made me realise the difficulties filmmakers go through to make short films. I bow down to their passion.”

I Am That Change has been viewed by more than 14 lakhs viewers across the globe in five day. Allu Arjun said, “I hope the video inspires people to decide between right and wrong.” As he wished, the short film is successful in impressing and inspiring the viewers.

When it comes to characterisation, Suirya takes lot of care and special interest lies upon his get up. Whether it may, Surya s/o Krishnan, Seventh Sense and freshly Anjaan [Sikander in Telugu], Suriya has always tried something no contemporary actors of Kollywood experimented.

A lot has been said, written and discussed about Suriya’s Anjaan which lighted the silver screen for Independence Day. It is Suriya’s first collaboration with the director who knows the pulse of mass audience and he is none other than Lingusamy. When Suriya’s first look was revealed from the movie, the snaps went viral as Suriya looked more stylish and never before.

The movie met with mixed review but all praise for Suirya who outshined every actor in the film. If the director had concentrated more on the script rather than the masala content

[Oh yeah we have to talk about Samantha. She did more skin show compared to her recent Telugu flick and Samantha stunned everyone audience with the bikini avatar. As Anjaan released, audiences flocked at theatre to see Samantha in two piece clothes rather than Suriya, the star actor himself.].

Anyways, Suriya has better potential and gave an earnest performance in Anjaan, and there’s absolutely no doubt about it.

Chiranjeevi is all set to make a comeback after a hiatus of 7 years. His 150th film is going to a complete entertainer. Here is idlebrain.com’s exclusive interview with Chiranjeevi on the occasion of his birthday on 22 August 2014 -

RAM CHARAN’S TAKEN SPECIAL INTEREST IN CHIRANJEEVI’S 150TH FILM Tell us about your 150th film?

I want to give what people want. Audiences and fans want a complete entertainer for me. This film will have a lot of comedy and masala. I don’t want to make a historical film like Uyyalavada Narasimha Reddy or message oriented film just because it’s my 150th film. I am listening to stories. Once we finalise the right story, we will decide about the director. Ram Charan will produce this movie.

You had been away from films for 7 years?

Yes. I am away from acting for the past 7 years. But I am in touch with film industry.

Thanks to Ram Charan. I have been listening his scripts. Whenever I listen to a script, I put myself in hero’s shoes and imagine if it works at box office.

You have 3 family members (Pawan Kalyan, Allu Arjun and Ram Charan) ruling the film industry now. How do you feel about it?

Telugu film industry is my domain. I have no regrets for stopping acting and entering film industry. Ram Charan has carried my legacy and filled up my space. Some people speculated that mega era is over when I lost it in 2009 elections. But the success of Magadheera proved that politics and movies are two different and mutually exclusive fields. The phenomenal success of three actors from my family proves the kind of following we have.

What’s the reason for choosing entertainment oriented film for 150th film?

I love doing comedy and I was the one hero who introduced full length comedy orientation for a big hero in proper commercial films like Donga Mogudu. Annayya is a fine example of comedy masala film. I have also made sure that there is entertainment

in serious subjects like Choodalani Vundi, Indra and Tagore.

Guna Sekhar wanted it to be a serious film and felt that having entertainment would dilute the intensity in Choodalani Vundi. I have convinced him and made sure that there is a lot of comedy in the love thread between me and Soundarya. In Indra film too, there is excellent comedy in Kaasi episodes between hero and heroine.

Murugadoss was skeptical when I said that there should be entertainment in the flashback episode of Tagore and I have also suggested that hero shouldn’t die. Murugadoss said that it’s a serious subject and the purpose will be lost if hero is alive at the end.

Indra was playing in theaters and I asked Murugadoss to watch that film in public theaters to understand what people want. He was not willing to make the changes. He said that Tagore will become a classic like Alluri Seetharamaraju and Katta Brahmanna if hero dies in end. That’s when we called VV Vinayak and asked him to direct the movie.

Tell us about your observation of Charan’s dances?

I enjoy doing dances. If we enjoy and get involved in dances, the flow will be natural and steps will be graceful. I got completely satisfied with Charan’s dances after watching Vana Vana remix in Naayak.

There is graceful movement even in his tip of fingers in that song.

You didn’t have any professional training in dances.

How did you become the best dancer of Tollywood?

I have to thank my manager SP Venkanna Babu, who also produced Donga Mogudu film. I was dancing for a song for a film in my early days of career. I thought that I danced excellently. I asked Venkanna Babu for feedback. He said ‘venaka mundu emi teda ledu’.

He meant that there was no difference between the group dancers and me. That’s when I realised that as a hero I should show my speciality compared to background dancers. I changed my attitude and worked harder on dances to be different from others.

Tell us about your heroines? Who do you rate as best dancer?

I feel that Sridevi is the best dancer I have ever worked with. Working for ‘Abbani Teeyani Debba’ was so enjoyable. Radha and Rambha are very 62

WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | SEPTEMBER 2014

passionate dancers and they enjoy while dancing.

I had a peculiar experience with Bhanu Priya to start with. She is an excellent dancer and a trained classical dancer. When we danced together for the first song, both of us did well as individuals, but the sync and grace was missing. I was looking at her and trying to interact while dancing, but she was doing it individually. When I asked her about it, she replied that she has to be the best otherwise I (Chiranjeevi) will dominate. I explained to her that we are playing lovers and we should look at each other and enjoy it together while dancing. Then we did the song in a well-synchronized fashion.

What’s the reason for producing 150th film by your family?

The production cost has gone up a lot. Hero and director are looking for their big remunerations.

Producer is not getting anything on his table after film is complete. As a hero, I act like a custodian/ watchdog of budget for my films. It should be a winwin situation for everybody involved in filmmaking.

Is Charan following your principles?

Yes. Orange was an exception. Orange went overboard because of misappropriation by the executive producer. It was our mistake.

Let me give you an example. Dharani came up with a nice script for Merupu film. But he has asked for a budget of 40 crores. I asked him to reduce the budget to 30 crores. He didn’t budge. There is nothing wrong with the script. But at that point of time, putting 40 crores on a film was uneconomical. I asked producer NV Prasad if we can stall the film and start another film with a reasonable budget. He has obliged. That’s how Racha film was made. It went on to become a big hit and made profits to the producers.

After watching the rushes of Govindudu Andari Vaadele, we felt that a character is not bringing the required emotion. I asked Ganesh Bandla about the budget impact of replacing a couple of actors and he said that it’s possible. They have shot for 15 working days with those actors. Krishna Vamsi roped in Prakash Raj and Jayasudha. They reshot the same scenes in 8 days with Prakash Raj and Jayasudha.

I have also asked Charan to sacrifice a part of his remuneration so that producer will not feel the pinch. There is nothing wrong in stalling a film or altering key actors. We should not go for prestige/ pride. We have to look for the safety of producer.

There are speculations about brothers (Chiranjeevi - Pawan Kalyan) getting separated due to political and ideological differences?

We are born from the same womb and we have the same blood flowing in us.

We share strong bonding since childhood.

He is my kid brother. I have chosen my path and he has chosen his path. I have no complaints about his path/ideology.

We share the same bonding. Politics is different and personal life is different!!

What are your plans for this birthday?

I am going to Nepal along with my family to visit a temple. We then visit a spa for rejuvenation therapy.

Ram Charan is going to hold my birthday celebrations here at Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust.

You will keep your mouth shut at least until the end of the month.

A coworker is trying to take your work, you fight and win.

Wait until September 14th, to feel completely energized and active. Before that, you better put all the intellectual work in the first half of the month, and the ore physical tasks in the second. If you start a program of gym, you are highly motivated and will keep up and therefore see results. You worry for money and decide to be more organized and make a plan just to know where you are aiming.

You feel disappointed by your father and you will tell him. You manage a lot of administrative papers, find solutions: you are proud of yourself for that.

AQUARIUS Are you obliged to offer help in some way? Can you continue to look upon a situation that seems to require your input or assistance? For some time, you’ve been aware of a precedent you might be setting through involving yourself and, during September, it is likely to become increasingly evident that doing nothing is no longer an option. You have the ability to bring much needed relief and comfort to someone who needs both.

Offer what you can in the belief that you’re not being taken advantage of and that your relationship with this person will be strengthened immensely. With your very own personal monthly forecast you will be able to take advantage of important opportunities. Avoid over-confidence when caution is required. Face up to situations you have been trying to ignore.

CAPRICORN Pluto is on your side this month, bringing a real clarity to your projects.

Your willpower is stronger than ever and you are able to say no to the things that are not interesting for you. Even if your boss is trying to push in some direction, you resist, gently but firmly. Same thing with your parents, if you don’t want to spend your Sundays with them, you will not. New friends are attractive to you and you love the discovery of a new environment and different network. That is exciting for you. Love is comfortable but romantic also, you show your love and tenderness.

PISCES Expect lots of work this month, it looks like everyone has to ask you something and you don’t know how to say no, especially when asked nicely. You are spending nice intimate evenings with your sweetie and you don’t need more than that, intimacy yes, clinginess no! You know exactly what you can take as a level of closeness or not.
