He said that especially once the story is finalized, after committing to the film, it is the hero's turn to act in that film. It is completely wrong to leave the film because he did not like the story of the film, did not like the music director and did not like the remuneration.

Now Tammareddy Bharadwaj, a senior producer and director in Telugu Film Industry made a sensational comments on Vishwak Sen and Arjun Sarja controversy. He asserted that many young performers in the current generation have been interfering with the directing department and attempting to protest to some aspects of the story, which is not good. Tammareddy Bharadwaj said that once a hero commits to a film, leaving the film is a complete insult to the director
not say that there is no casting couch in the industry. There is. I got many offers, but gave up. If I had agreed for commitment, I would have become a big heroine. Casting couch is not the same for everyone. I also faced such things in Tollywood. But everything depends on you. I am also happy doing films without any commitments. Many girls think that film industry means commitment. But that is not true.”

REVIEW

Minus Points:

• Slow pace

village guy justify with their roles. Rest of the cast perform accordingly.

Plus Points:

• Allari Naresh

• Screenplay

• Hard hitting climax

• Interval bang

Performance: Allari Naresh, who is best known for his comic roles, has taken a serious film this time and he delivers his best. Once again he gives a sincere performance in this movie. He plays his role with utmost perfection. Anandi looks beautiful and she has given a settled performance. Vennela Kishore impressed everyone with his act. His dialogue delivery, and funny antics are highlighted. Shritej gets a meaty role. Sampath as the collector and Praveen as a

Technical: The film Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam has an interesting backdrop and neat performances. Though the proceedings look predictable, the scenes hold the attention. Interval bang is good. The dialogues written by Abburi Ravi are mind blowing. He wrote meaningful dialogues like 'It doesn't matter if you make a mistake and get punished, If you help you don't get hurt', 'If you help, you are a man, If you attack, you are a beast', 'We all want to become great, but no one is becoming a man'. His

words changed some scenes strongly. Cinematography is ok. There is no sparkle in terms of music.

Analysis: Films in the wake of elections are not new to Tollywood. There are dialogues in many movies that politicians and officials remember the people only during the elections. What if a whole village turned against them during the election to solve their problems- Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam is all about it.

that draws you in and keeps you hooked none-the-less. Her character Yashoda is emotional and it too makes you fall in love with her. We all know what a solid performer Samantha is but, in Yashoda as surrogate mother, she takes her acting prowess to another level. Varalaxmi Sarathkumar plays an important role and she has a crucial flashback. Unni Mukundan, Rao Ramesh, Sampath Raj and the remaining supporting cast shine in their roles, pouring life into their characters.

Producer : Sivalenka Krishna Prasad

Music: Mani Sharma

Starring: Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Unni Mukundan, Murali Sharma

Performance: The movie banks a lot Samantha and her character based on a woman called Yashoda. And she pulls off a spectacular performance, the kind you might have seen from her in other films, but one

Technical: The makers need to be appreciated for producing a subject which is based on surrogacy mafia and it is high on content. The making, visuals, and BGM are major assets to the film Yashoda which is gripping for the most part. The movie is high on technical aspects. The camerawork is one of the best in recent times. The action blocks are showcased superbly. The manner in which the production design is executed is just amazing. The dialogues by Pulagam Chinnarayana and Challa Bhagya Lakshmi are noteworthy.

Analysis: Samantha starrer Yashoda is based on surrogacy and the mafia behind it. The action sequences and suspense factors are maintained effectively. The climax is a special aspect.
