“Naaku mamoolugaa message lu ivvadam ishtam undadhu. Neeku emaina ichchanu anipisthey teesuko”. This is Naga Chaitanya’s dialogue in the movie. And indeed, the movie is message oriented. And as the dialogue suggests the youngsters can take the message if any, from the movie. Let us see how the whole thing went on.

Story:
Satya (Naga Chaitanya) is a young lad in Vizag who suddenly says to his parents that he wants to quit college studies and moves to Hyderabad in search of job. He finds a small job there but witnesses the spoiling students in a college. He tries to change them but in the process he develops tug with a student leader J Durga Rao (JD Chakravarthy). Satya finds no other way than joining in same college as a student to bring change in students, being one among them. Finally has Satya succeeds in that attempt? That forms the climax.

While this is one line, there is a flash back for Satya that makes him take decision to leave studies and move to Hyderabad. And a college Principal (Parakash Raj) happens to be key factor in that aspect. What’s that reason? That forms other line.

And Nitya (Karthika) happens to be a love factor for Satya who works in a school as teacher.

Performances:
Naga Chaitanya: He was given a very underplaying role. Most of the time he was seen without expressions. That gives a wrong impression for audiences that he doesn’t know how to act. His presence on screen as debutant is good. He danced well and fights are also good. From now he needs to focus on his dialogue delivery and expressions.

Karthika: She is just ok. The make up given to her is not good and that made her look very ordinary.

Sunil is ok with his subtle comedy and Prakash Raj performed to his best in his son’s dead body scene. Brahmanandam is very weak in his role and he couldn’t make people laugh even once. Former Miss Femina runner up Shreya Dhanwanthari is also scene in a not so important role.

Technically, the movie scores well with cinematography. Montages chosen for songs are hilarious. ‘Neeto unte inka konnaallu..’ has got lyrical beauty and ‘deerideeridi be ready…’ has haunting rendition.

Director Vasu Varma has dealt well only with his story line and narration but not with star son.

Dialogues:
“College paatam cheppi pareeksha peduthundi. Kaani jeevitham pareeksha petti paatam chebuthundi..gunapaatam” sounds subtle in entire movie.

Highlights And Dim Lights:
Cinematography is good
Costumes are subtle
Make up for heroine is very bad
Brahmanandam gone wasted
Jumps and abrupt cuts in editing
No required voltage in narration

Analysis:
The director seems to be very conscious of what he was making!

The dialogue “Naaku mamoolugaa message lu ivvadam ishtam undadhu. Neeku emaina ichchanu anipisthey teesuko” seems to be director’s line for contemporary youth audience.

It is a general opinion that youngsters don’t relish the messages and lectures. Hence the director has chosen that line. That’s fine up to that. But the elements that strengthen a movie are weak in this. There is no proper romance track, no action elements and no thrilling moments. It goes to be a straight narration with a little flash back episode.

The elements of ‘Shiva’ are used in the film to some extent but there is no comparison to that action-classic.

The movie appeals for teenagers and parents. The movie asks parents to leave sheep-mentality by going along with the herd and forcibly burdening children to get ranks in examination. The movie appeals for students stating that young age is a valuable time to build future but not for making it useless with drug addictions, irresponsibility and ragging.

On a whole, the movie has one and only big attraction- that is Naga Chaitanya, the son of Nagarjuna. And added glory is Dil Raju. Box office collections merely depend on these elements and they are the crowd pulling factors.

Andhra Pradesh CM dead in chopper crash

Prime Ministers Office declared on Thursday that Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy died in an air crash.

The helicopter carrying YSR Reddy, two of his staff and two pilots went missing in pouring rain Wednesday morning over the Naxal and tiger-infested Nalamalla forests.

Five bodies were been found at the site where Andhra Pradesh chief minister YSR Reddy chopper’s wreckage has been traced.

The government on Thursday confirmed that Nearly 24 hours after YSR's chopper went missing, it was located atop Serai Salem hill, at a distance 40 nautical miles (70 kms) east of Kurnool.

The CM left Hyderabad on a six-seater Bell chopper at 8.35am for Chittoor accompanied by his secretary and chief security officer. After 9.27am, radio contact was lost with the helicopter.

Soon after the chopper lost contact, multiple agencies of the state launched a massive hunt for possible wreckage in the desolate terrain. By evening, it expanded into the country's biggest-ever search operation with satellites in the sky joining remote sensing aircraft, fighter jets, unmanned aerial vehicles, troops on the ground and even barefoot deer-hunting tribals with bows and arrows.

YSR's tryst with rains

Hyderabad/Vijayawada: Y S Rajasekhara Reddy has always believed Lord Varuna, the rain god, would bail him out in times of crisis. But now, after showering his reign with five years of bountiful rains, the rains have put the life of YSR in peril.

In the last one month, YSR seemed hassled by the lack of rains but was ecstatic when the heavens opened up in the last 10 days. Indeed he had reason to believe so, with the state receiving rains all through the five years - 2004 to 2009 in his first term. Analysts surmise that rains had helped YSR to complete his first term without much trouble, unlike his predecessor Chandrababu Naidu.

“In fact, grassroots Congress workers started claiming that Lord Varuna has become a member of the Congress party because of which heavens keep opening up whenever YSR prays for rains to keep the state people happy,” an analyst said. After all, the drought that parched the state during Naidu’s regime ended just on the day of YSR’s swearing-in ceremony in 2004 in Hyderabad. Reservoirs and dams in the state brimmed with waters during his first five years in office. But YSR’s honeymoon with the rains nearly ended when the monsoon played truant from June till mid-August. So when the delayed monsoons led to drought-like conditions, and the state state government delayed the declaration of drought citing ‘other’ reasons, the Opposition said that it was all due to only YSR’s ego. But YSR’s hopes held ground and it began raining heavily all over the state in the last week of August.

In fact, YSR’s Rachchabanda (mass contact) programme was aimed at taking a first-hand account of the implementation of his welfare programmes and how the ryots are getting benefited from the recent rains. Ironically the man may have fallen prey to the rains when his chopper went missing.. Read rest of this Post..

Co-passengers shared CM's Cuddapah links

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy [ Images ], whose damaged helicopter was traced 40 nautical miles east of Kurnool on Thursday morning, was known as the 'Tiger of Cuddapah.'
A four-time member of the state legislative assembly from Pulivendla in Cuddapah, YSR was a doctor by profession with a degree from nearby Gulbarga University and practiced medicine for a while in Cuddapah district before opting for a career in politics.

Principal Secretary, Andhra Pradesh, Dr P Subrahmanyam, 56, and the chief minister's security officer A S C John Wesley, who were travelling with him aboard the ill-fated helicopter on Wednesday, also have connections with Cuddapah.

Subrahmanyam, an Indian Administrative Service officer of the 1983 batch and has a post graduate degree in economics, was the collector of Cuddapah from 1992 to 1993 and from 1994 to 1995.

John Wesley retired as the deputy superintendent of police of Warangal. He had earlier been the district supply officer for Cuddapah in 2004. Read rest of this Post..
