Will Rajni enters Politics?

The big question has arisen once more. Will Rajinikanth finally take the political plunge or not? "If I am ordained by God to don the role of a politician, I will do it," he said in his usual style. After returning from Peru, where he had gone for the first phase of the shoot for his latest flick Yanthram, he reportedly has agreed to give a date for his fans to discuss the possibility of floating a social or political outfit in the first week of October.

"We will know the date of our meeting with Rajini Sir on Monday," said Om Sekar, president of Chennai wing of Rajini fans’ associations. A meeting of district presidents of fans’ associations from across the state with state president of fans’ clubs Mr Sathyanarayana earlier this month led to this prospective meeting of the fans with their beloved star.

While the fans are aflutter about the outcome of the meeting, the city is flooded with posters seeking Rajinikanth’s political entry. "Thalaiva Vaa, Thalamaiyerka Vaa" (Come Our Leader, Come and Lead Us) they exhort the reluctant superstar. "Even the flag of Rajini fans’ clubs was never formally launched by our Thalaivar (leader). They are not even the same across various districts," Mr Ganesan, another fan pointed out.

Sources said that the official launch of a flag of Rajini fan clubs and a social organisation could happen at the meeting to be held anytime after October 1. "Our leader will not disappoint us this time," hoped Rajendran, a senior functionary of the fans’ associations in the city. Recently Rajini had expunged at least two dialogues in which he disowned his association with politics from the film Kuselan following requests from the fans’ clubs.

Devi sri prasad has love affair with Charmee

There have been rumors that young music director Devi Sri Prasad and sexy actress Charmee are an item. Although both of them denied the rumors about their love affair, speculations continue. Now, the latest buzz is that Devi Sri Prasad is all set to make his acting debut in Charmee’s new film to be produced by Rajashekar who earlier made Yamagola Modalindi.

Devi has not confirmed this news but buzz is that he would be signing the movie, which has Charmee as main heroine. If he really does acting debut in this film, the rumors would be justified. It remains to be seen whether he says yes to this project or not. He is reportedly agreed to score music for this, though.

Rajni in 4th place

Superstar Rajnikanth’s popularity graph seems to be falling drastically. In what could be a big shock for all Rajnikanth fans, the superstar has fallen down in popularity ratings.

Sivaji Ganeshan came second while Vijay stood in the third position. Rajnikanth had to be satisfied with just the fourth spot. In a related survey a majority of Rajnikanth’s fans and the people said that Rajnikanth should not enter politics.

Souryam Movie Review

Pokuri Babu Rao, who carved a niche for himself, with his roles as a villain in films like 'Jayam' and 'Nijam' in the direction of Teja, had produced the film 'Yagnam'. Gopichand debuted as an action hero with this film and bagged a huge success. Gopichand pursued this line of success with films like 'Ranam', 'Lakshyam' and went on to become a mass hero. Interestingly names of all these films end with 'O' in Telugu.

'Souryam' stars Gopichand and Anushka in the lead cast. Cameraman Siva is debuting as director in this film produced by Anand Prasad on Bhavya Creations banner. The film is released on 25th September whose review is criticized below. Gopichand's saga as an action entertainer continues in this flick too.

Story

Vijay (Gopichand), Divya (Poonam Kaur) are siblings (brother and sister). Vijay being a child himself, could not take the responsibility of upbringing his sister. So he leaves her in an Orphanage of a Christian Missionary. A couple who comes from Kolkota, adopts her and takes her to Kolkota with them. In search of his sister, Vijay arrives at the home of a Police Commissioner Sharath (Sharath Babu), and ends up growing in the place into a Police Officer. A gangster SivaRam Goud murders the commissioner who was obstructing his misdeeds. Consequently, Vijay books SivaRam Goud under narcotics case and sends him to jail. After knowing that his sister Divya, for whom he had been on search for 15 years, is in Kolkota, he goes in a search to find her. Was Vijay successful in finding his sister? What did SivaRam Goud, who comes out of the jail, had done to Vijay? How all this comes to an end? is the rest of the plot.

Performance of Artists

Be it the role of a Police Officer who threats the villain SivaRam Goud, in action sequences, during romantic episodes with Anushka and also in the sentiment areas Gopichand sheens all the way and portrayed the role of Vijay very well. This will sure be another feather in his cap besides the success like 'Yagnam', 'Ranam' and 'Lakshyam'. Especially, the sequence in which he gives a 12hrs target to the villain has been churned out fantastically, and Gopichand's performance in these scenes was superb.

Anushka as Swetha has given a graceful performance, as a bubbly girl in the college who teases the hero and also as a sensitive girl at home. Her glamour is an additional asset to the film. Poonam Kaur plays the pivotal role of Divya in this film. She rendered apt delivery within the scope of her characterization.

In addition, there are three prominent people in this film, who provided the perfect humor quotient which acts as a dimension of entertainment in the film, in their unique style. One of them is Ali (as Jimson) who displayed hilarious comedy in the college scenes. Other two are Raghubabu & Krishna Bhagvan, the duo did exceptionally well competing with each other, in the satirical scenes with Manoj K Jaman in the second half of the film.

Manoj K Jaman as SivaRam Goud performed very well. Similarly Ajay, Dharmavarapu Subrahmanyam, Tanikella Bharani, MS Narayana, Sudha, Sharathbabu, did deliver with in the purview of their characters.

Technicians

Fight masters VijayRam, Lakshman, Selva and Ganesh designed the action scenes, according to the expectations of the audience in a Gopichand's action film. Marthand K Venkatesh's work as an editor, speaks for itself, no apt word are required to describe his expertise. The re-recording done by Mani Sharma is mellifluous. Rathnam's punch dialogues as well as the emotional dialogues emoted by Gopichand attains a laurel. The special attraction is the photography, starting from the introduction of the hero to the end of the film cameraman Vatri has envisaged and picturized every frame slickly.

Director's touch

This is the first venture for Siva as a director, who erstwhile worked as a cameraman. No aspect in this film gives a perception that the director has made his maiden venture. He keeps the audience addicted with his taut narrative style. The interval bang reminds the super hit film 'Siva' to the viewers. Director Siva has succeeded with this very first endeavor as a director in the tinsel ville.

Cons

The film features a good tempo through out, however the music is in a little down wave.

Criticism

Many films have been made based on the crux of sentiment that prevails between a brother and sister, but it is portrayed in a new dimension in this film. The role of the Police Officer Vijay, who plays a 12 hour game with the villain is a banking point for the film. Gopichands performance bolsters and elevates the movie to new heights. The film has all the features one would expect to see in a Gopichand's film. In a nutshell, this is an action packed entertainer that marks the slick skill of Gopichand.

Tammareddy Baradwaj critisised Chiru

Three decades Chiru is in Film industry and never did anything to workers said Tammareddy Baradwaj. How can Chiru do justice to people or farmers? Chiru is coming to politics to get into power. Though he requested many top film personalities to help film industry workers only few of them responded and Chiru is not in them. Chiru acted in almost 150 films only 2 or 3 are social awareness films. Baradwaj also commented on Blood Bank and Eye Bank , saying there are lots of other foundations which are doing tremendous good work. Having fans is different and social service is different, doing social service one should need dedication and motivation. I saw that in NTR but not in Chiru said Baradwaj. Chiru should get involved into people’s problem then only he can become good leader. Baradwaj also said think twice before joining Praja Rajyam Party.

Charmi In Manjula's Film

There is no need for a special mention that Manjula, daughter of Super Star Krishna, introduced herself as an artiste and producer with ‘Show’ and later turned a producer for ‘Naani’ with Maheshbabu as hero. However, the film failed to prove a commercial hit. In order to give a hit to Maheshbabu, again she joined hands with Puri Jagannath and brought out ‘Pokiri’, which proved as a blockbuster and achieved what she wanted. Now, she is planning a film in association with Super Good Films again with Maheshbabu as hero. However, Maheshbabu could not adjust the dates for the movie and the film is going to delay further. In order to make use of the idle time, Manjula planned another small budget film in the middle and Charmme was selected as heroine for the movie, it is reliably learnt. The film would be another heroine-centric movie and according to information, the film is likely to go to sets in October.

Nayanthara accepted to act with Prabas

It is well aware that Anushka was selected as heroine opposite Prabhas for a film to be directed by Meher Ramesh. Now, Nayanatara was selected as another heroine for the movie. For Nayanatara this is the second film with Prabhas, with Yogi being the first movie. For Anushka this is the debut combination with the hero. It is worth mentioning here that the film is the remake of the recent hit movie ‘Billa’ starring Ajit in Tamil. Moreover, a film with a similar subject was already done by the late NT Rama Rao long ago as ‘Yugandhar’. The producer is planning to launch the shooting on October 9 as the Dasara gift and continue the shooting for three days. Later, the entire unit would shift to Bangkok for the next schedule. The producer is making efforts to release the film in April.

Lets Celebrate World Car Free Day (22nd Sept)

Every September 22, people from around the world get together in the streets, intersections, and neighbourhood blocks to remind the world that we don't have to accept our car-dominated society.

But we do not want just one day of celebration and then a return to "normal" life. When people get out of their cars, they should stay out of their cars. It is up to us, it is up to our cities, and our governments to help create permanent change to benefit pedestrians, cyclists, and other people who do not drive cars.

Let World Carfree Day be a showcase for just how our cities might look like, feel like, and sound like without cars…365 days a year.

As the climate heats up, World Carfree Day is the perfect time to take the heat off the planet, and put it on city planners and politicians to give priority to cycling, walking and public transport, instead of to the automobile.

So take the time, browse the links and resources provided, and join in on the celebrations!

Summary:
The movie deals with the conflict among the powers of God, Evil, and Science, as seen in the case of a child.

What it's all about?
Rajeev (Jagapathi Babu) runs a construction company on his daughter's name Raksha (Neha Thota) and lives happyily with his wife Arthi (Kalyani), mother (Radhakumari), and his children Rahul (Master Atulith) and Raksha. The construction crew finds a stone with an embossed shape like Lord Ganesha. Despite the repeated insistence of Site Manager Shyam (Narsing Yadav), Rajeev declines the plea to build a temple there, since it'd change their construction plans totally. The site incharge Vinay (Subbaraju) once complains to Rajeev that the latter's close friend Venu (Rajeev Kanakala) and his wife Madhu (Sathya Krishnan) have been cheating the company. An enraged Rajeev kicks them out of his house and workplace. Strange happenings occur at Rajeev's home, and soon his daughter Raksha starts behaving strangely. Is it a case of black magic? Or, is it a psychiatric problem? Or, is it Lord Ganesha's anger? Did the atheist Rajeev heed to his mom and wife and consult black magicians for a solution? What did the doctors find about the girl? The film goes through several scenes that bring a shudder or a stir within, as the real reasons are revealed.

Performances:

Cast:
Jagapathi Babu gave a very good performance as the tensed parent of a lovable daughter. His silence also is so expressive, particularly in the scene where he looks at his mom in the hospital when a black magician walks in. Baby Neha is superb as the child that undergoes trauma, and so is cuet Atulith as her innocent younger brother. Kalyani is adequate as the mother of two children, who cannot command her loving husband, and Radhakumari is fitting as the grandmother of the children, who strongly believes in black magic, voodoo and other such occult powers. Pradeep Rawath gives a totally different performance in the distinct role he got to play in the film. Jeeva is dignified as a child psychologist, Subbaraju is good, and Jayasudha appears in a special role as Seema, the country's renowned psychiatrist.

Technical Departments:
The film's theme is inspired by, and is loosely based on, the popular trilogy of Yandamuri Virendranath from the late '70s and early '80s - the novels Tulasi, tulasiidaLam, and ashTaavakra. The story is convincing, and the treatment is good too in that it leaves open questions to the audience towards the end. Sound effects, BGM, and audiography, the key departments for a thriller, are commendably handled. Interestingly, the film doesn't depend much on visual effects, but camerawork is good and the lighting effects are good. Dialogues are good, with light comedy when possible, and thought-provoking when necessary. The director should be appreciated for a tight screenplay, convincing narration, and conviction in execution, without taking the focus off the theme with distractions such as songs. Certain symbolic shots are good too, such as the way he shows everyone "praying" in their own way about the child's well-being towards the end of the film.

Bottom Line:

Raksha is an intense suspense thriller powered by gripping screenplay, good background score and audio effects, and decent performances. It'd appeal to those sections of audiences that like films of this genre.

Rating: 3/5
