Star Cast: Jr.NTR, Sruthi Hassan, Samantha, Mukesh Rishi, Rao Ramesh and more.

Plot: Ramu (Jr.NTR) is a college going student falls in love with Akarsha(Samantha) in his first sight, where she stays with her sister and grandmom in Hyderabad. In the process Samantha also falls in love with Ramu and she invites him to her sister’s marriage.

Movie Highlights:

1.       NTR dialogue from “Daana Veera Soora Karna” in introduction

2.       Glamourous Sruthi Hassan and Samantha

3.       Interval Twist
3.       Horseride by NTR
4.       High energy levels and dialogues by NTR

5.       Background score

Movie Negatives:

1.       No comedy quotient

2.       Songs seems to copied from old Thaman movies
1.       Weak flashback episode     

3.       Predictable climax

Plus Points: NTR was slick & slim and performed his best, carried this movie entirely on his shoulders. His dialogue delivery was apt. Samantha in first half and Sruthi Hasaan in Second half were so beautiful. Chota.K.Naidu did a wonderful job in showing all 3 leads colourful. Background music by Thaman was good and he maintained the same throughout the movie. Interval twist was good and carried the movie to second half with huge expectations.

Minus Points: There was no separate comedy track in movie where we miss all big names. Songs in movie are melodious but seems Thaman has copied a lot from “Mirapakaya” movie which may not effect a lot overall.

Final Verdict: Ramayya Vasthavayya has its own limitations as it was a revenge drama and family audience will highly appreciate this movie because of NTR’s performance and ultra glamorous heroines. Don’t compare Ramayya Vasthavayya with Attharintiki Daaredhi which we normally does whenever we get a big heroes movie after a blockbuster. Finally Ramayya Vasthavayya is wholesome entertainer with good story and brilliant performance by star cast.

Movie Review : Attarintiki Daredi

Movie Review : Attarintiki Daredi

Power Star – Pawan Kalyan, Once upon a time need to address him as brother of Mega Star, now scene has reversed. Now Power's stamina is like Rajini in TamilNadu. After CGR, Power Star has shown his Power Mania with #Attarintiki Daredi directed by technically brilliant director Trivikram Srinivas. And as long as Heroes are seen as demi gods in India, no Piracy can kill any movie. For Example is our #Attarintiki Daredi. Let us see how it was fared at Box Office.

Star Cast: Power Star Pawan Kalyan, Samantha, Pranitha, Boman Irani, Rao Ramesh, Nadiya, Bhramanandam, Ali, Mukesh Rishi, Kota and more.

Plot: Raghuram (Boman Irani) a major business tycoon in Italy is grandfather of Goutham Nanda(Power Star). At old age Raghuram wants Nadiya as reconciliation with him for what he did in past. Nadiya is a head strong daughter of Raghuram where she elpoes with Rao Ramesh and marries him in the past. Now Raghuram sends Goutham to bring back his aunt to Milan and take her property which she kept away for 25 years because of the father-daughter differences. Goutham joins as driver in Nadiya house where she has two ultra glamorous daughters Prameela (Pranitha ) and Shaasi (Samantha ). What does Goutham do after entering Nadiya house? Will he marry Prameela or Shaasi? Will Nadiya comes back to Raghuram? This is what is #Attarintiki Daredi which need to seen at Big Screen.

Plus Points: Action packed performance by Power Star Pawan Kalyan will remain main attraction to the movie. Glamour department was fulfilled by heart Throb Samantha. Nadiya, OMG she is not at all looking like Atta.

In First Half, the movie revolves around the story forming, how goutham enters nadiya house as driver, how he lures prameela and shaasi. It was full of entertainment and power star trademark acting. Second half was more with comedy and sentiment, but promise you will love the episodes between Powerstar and Brahmanandam which will recall all the Jalsa comedy episodes. Well Done Pranav my boy J

Music by DSP was good compared to his previous albums, but re-recording elevates the mood of audience in second half. Photography and songs picturization were brilliant. Trivikram who was famous for his dialogue writing for Nuvve Naku Nachav, Nuvve Nuvve, Jalsa and more given wonderful punch lines and when delivered by Power Star, “Vatiki vacha Kick a varru abba”

Direction and screenplay by Trivikram Srinivas, where he intelligently narrated the bonding story of “Father – Daughter” and incorporated love in between of “Bava – Mardalu” which made the movie full too family entertainer which is rare from a big star in recent days of Tollywood.

Minus Points: Long Sentiment episodes in the second half and unnecessary scenes like where Goutham says to buy Railway Station which seems bit heavy digest. Movie filled with more twists which may be avoided but it’s due to tight screenplay from Trivikram.

Highlights:

1.       Power Star – Pawan Kalyan

2.       Trivikram Direction

3.       DSP Background Score

4.       Samantha glamour

5.       Kevvu Keka comedy episode

6.       Mumtaj (Kushi fame) and Hamsa Nandini song

and many more

Verdict: Film was tailor made for Power Star where he fully unleashed his performance in full and fury. It’s a combo pack of Comedy, Sentiment, and Action which was single handly handled by PK. Though film was pirated and with its huge budget of 55 crores in making. Collections in box office will be like currency Tsunami. My opinion don’t miss this action packed entertainer which is rare now days where a super star performing in family entertainers.

Indian Economy is slow; But spending is same. Saving buster to all Young Indians

Indian Economy is slow; But Young Indians spending is same. Saving buster to all Young Indians

Indian economy is very slow and Rupee against Dollar has touched its overall low, Gold is shining at its all-time high, Petrol and diesel prices are running against Onion prices. Even a bottle of beer became expensive. Stock markets are trading low, bank interest rates increased. Its tough task for young and middle class Indians to lead an enjoyable life with everything inflated except your salary.

Let’s see how we can improve your saving with same lifestyle:

1. Movies: Instead of hitting multiplexes and malls for a movie, better is to watch in an old single screen maha palace with same AC facilities. Example: If a couple is going to watch a movie in multiplex, ticket price is INR 350 inclusion of taxes on average, additional parking and snacks account another INR 150. Overally it is 500 for two. Where as in single screen price of tickets and snacks is half compared to Multiplex. So saving here is almost half.

2. Smart Party: Planning to go a Pub. Normal entrance charges is in range INR 200-1000, we can save a lot in entrance fees where in few places its free in weekdays and few offer discounts if you take your girlfriend along you, few if your follow their dress codes and more. So, Act Smart save Smart.

3. Expensive Dines: Planning to take your family to a restaurant, so you need to be ready to pay a lot in AC dines like service tax and more. It’s advisable to bring whatever you want to have at dined as parcels and can have happily at home where there is no need to pay service tax, other charges, tip and more. Here you are going to even save fuel.

4. Power Consumption: We are habituated not to stop lights, fans and more at home even though we not need them. Which overally affects you in paying huge power bill. It’s advisable to use LED lights, high stared appliances to cut your power bill. Also use them when you need and when you are in that area. For Example: If you are in Bedroom, Use a light and fan instead of using them at entire house. Other simple tips include turning the lights off when you leave a room.

5. Street Food and Home Food: In this current generation, mostly all working employees prefer to get parcels at night, i.e., curries and preferring canteen food in day time. It’s advisable to have cooked food from home which is healthier and cost saving. Even trying road side food like pav bhaji, cholle, kulcha, tikkas is preferable instead of going to a dine which can be easily possible for people staying in Delhi and Mumbai because of options there.

6. Grocery Spending: Purchasing grocery has become very expensive now days. Need to spend smartly in grocery shopping. It’s always better to buy in small amounts depending on your consumption instead of purchasing heavily and storing them. Probably the prices may deep or the items may damage so less size packs more advisable. It’s always better to purchase in a whole sale shop instead of going to retails chains where they include service taxes on bill. 

It's always advisable to think smart before you spend and save something before you start spending out.

Finally "Economy is half the battle of life; it is not so hard to earn money as to spend it well", so think intelligently and act smartly.

Note: This are completely my views and not targeted on any individual or family.

Thanks for your support.

Madras Cafe Movie Review

Madras Cafe Movie Review: Intellectually Scripted and Well Planned Assassination Plot by LTF

Cast: John Abraham, Nagris Fakhri and many more

Plot: It is a very new story in Bollywood which was never touched because of the political issues that are connected very close to soul of the movie. Vikram Singh (John Abraham) is a RAW agent in India deployed for a covert operation in Lanka which is in the dominance of Anna (Prabhakaran). Anna supports Tamil group and fights for them against Lankan Army. To bring peace in the Lanka, Indian Army was sent by PM to Lanka if not external forces can occupy Lanka with the help of Anna and can use that piece of land of illegal activities against India which was developing at rapid pace in that era. In mean process Indian army was attacked by LTF lead by Anna and many IA people are killed. Now Vikram goes to Lanka to make counter operation to Anna and its get misfire in this process he loses his wife as well because of secret agents who passes information from Indian Govt to Lanka. In revenge Vikram gets crucial info about Anna and was attacked. After the brutal attack of Indian Army on Anna, to seek revenge against us he joins hands with foreign forces to attack Indian Ex Pm. Who is Anna? To whom he attacks? What happens to the attacked person? What John Abraham did while the assassination is planned against our ex PM? What happens is to be watched at Big Screen.

Plus Points: Any kind of movie whether its small or big needs a well bound script which is available here and indeed lots of research would be went through before coming up with this kind of movies. John Abhram was perfect for the role. Nagris Fakhri has some portion but did her justice. Best cinematography i have seen in recent past movies where the civil war episodes are very well shot.  Movie ends with tragedy but the fact is; we will get to know that we have miss used our RAW information and could not save a VVIP from assassination.

Negative Points: Back ground was not sinking with the movie which would have been better. Post interval movie was dragged a bit which would have been easily had a cut in editing. Not a regular commercial movie which misses comedy, drama, love, songs and lot more in it.

Verdict: Well Scripted, Intelligently narrated, well sound and highly appreciated story which makes the movie must watch from my view. It was never touched area in bollywood, Probably Mani Rathnam in a movie touched about LTTE and civil war which is different here. Commercial movie lover please skip this and who wants to see something new please book your tickets in near by screen today.

Best Sleeping Positions and Direction

              In my current blog i want to address the direction in which a person or child need to sleep as per Indian Vasthu and also about most sleeping positions by a common men/women/child.

Directions:

        The direction of the head while sleeping is given great importance in Indian Vastu. The prescriptions are as follows.
                   1. Adults should sleep with the head towards South or East 
                   2. Children should sleep with their head towards East 
                   3. Guests are allowed to sleep with their head towards the West. 
                   4. Sleeping with the head towards the North direction is totally prohibited as per Indian Vasthu.

Sleeping in the wrong direction can also cause health problems. Vasthu Sastra recommends that the head must be placed towards the east for undisturbed sleep. The second best sleeping direction is with the head towards the west, the third choice is south.

Directions and its implications:

North:  The Vasthu sleeping position with head in the North direction is strongly opposed. It might cause major illnesses and sleepless nights for the person sleeping in such a position.
South: Indian Vasthu highly recommends this direction as your usual sleeping position with head towards the South. This is believed to provide sound sleep and increase the wealth and prosperity in the household.

East: Sleeping with head resting in the East enhances memory, health and spiritual inclination. It is usually advised by Vasthu Shastra Consultants to plan the children's room in such a way that their Vastu sleeping direction comes out to be east. This leads to higher concentration and retention power.
West: This is not a very advisable sleeping position. Vaastu Shastra says sleeping with head resting in West might cause disturbed sleep due to nightmares, some major illness and tendency towards violence. 

Sleeping Positions:

There are 6 common sleeping positions, namely:

1. Fetus
2. Log
3. Yearner
4. Soldier 
5. Freefaller
6. Starfish 



"The Fetus" is the most common position, with the sleeper lying curled up on their side. It is said to reflect someone with a tough exterior shell but a soft, sensitive core. 

"The Log" position is that of someone lying on their side with their arms down. "Log" sleepers are sociable and outgoing, but gullible.

"The Yearner" sleeps on their side as well, but with their arms stretched out in front of them. This positions tends to reflect a cynical straight shooter: someone who is hesitant to commit or trust but once they do, they're all in and mean business.

"The Soldier" position is on the back with the hands at the side. This is a common one for more reserved, less dramatic folks.

"The Starfish" is the least common position, but when you find a "Starfish" sleeper, hang onto them! This position is associated with people who are selfless, generous, humble individuals.

Conclusion: Always sleep by keeping your face towards south and legs in North and always try to sleep in Starfish position which is very rare among us.

Plus Points: Jackman has delivered wonderful act as an Wolverine and he crafted his physic excellently. Actress who played Mariko was good. Picturization was apt and high technical aspects. Background music was decent.

Minus Points: Boss!!! its a super hero movie and he does nothing like a super hero. Simple and really bad story line for a superhero kind of movie. Irritating 3D affects and not even single frame which makes you feel like Wow in 3D. It seemed like a small industry movie and missing the grandeur in it.

Verdict: If you are a Superhero movies fan then its your call but prefer it in 2D instead of 3D and for other stay away from it as the pace and story of the movie irritates you a lot.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag Movie Review:  Run and Run to get a ticket

BMG is inspired by true story of a born legend in Indian Athletics. Movie is completely about Milkha Singh how he struggled during Pre & Post Independence era in United India and what made him to enter sports?

Cast: Farhan Akthar, Sonam Kapoor, Jograj Singh, Prakash Raj and more

Plot: Movie starts with Rome Olympics, 1960 where Milkha will have a flying start and ends the race with fourth position. Something was haunting him in that race, what is it? Movie moves to pre independece era and shows us Milkha child age episodes. He was orphaned during partition of india but fortunately meets his sister in Delhi. He spends his childhood age as a dacoit and in process for getting settle down to marry Sonam Kapoor he was imprisoned in Tihar Jail. After that he steps into Indian Army, EMI centre Secunderabad which was trained by Prakash Raj. In the training process he turns into a running machine for getting a glass of milk.

Later he was requested by PM of India to represent in a friendship match with Pakistan where was reluctant to go Pakistan? What haunting him in his mind? Why he want skip the match?  How does he gets title as “Flying Sikh” by President of Pakistan need to be watch at big screen.

Plus Points: First and foremost it’s Farhan Akhtar and his body. He carried this role with ease and he was major plus point for the movie. Music by Shaankar Ehsaan Loy was apt and makes the movie feel good. Excellent background score which carries your emotions with the movie. Screenply was so tight and interesting which takes you to past and present all through the movie and keeps the viewers from not getting bore. Locations for the movie also work wonder. Acting by Divya Dutta who played Milkha sister charcter was so emotional and touches the sentiment side of viewers. Prakash Raj was good in Army trainers in Secunderabad with his funny Hindi ascent.

Minus Points: Sonaam Kapoor was big let down for movie as she hardly has any role. Pace of the movie is slow and can easily chop few scenes and make the movie crispier. Duration of the movie is 3 hours and can reduce a bit so that viewers will not get bored at stance.

Verdict: Watch it to know about True Legend. Not a regular movie which will not have romance, entertainment and love track. It’s a true story and brings nothing new to audiences. It is a visual treat for all fans of Milkha Singh across the world which shows his struggling days and achievements overally. Also can be watched out for Farhan Akhtar acting and his struggle to bring this movie.
