Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”] 

‘Angry Youngman’ hero Rajasekhar minted gold at the box office with his recent film ‘Garuda Vega’. The film stood out as the biggest hit Rajasekhar’s Tollywood film career. It truly marked come-back of Rajasekhar, who was once very popular with films like Ankusam, Magaadu and Allari Priyudu. After it was revealed that the film was produced on a whopping budget of Rs. 25 Crores, many trade analysts predicted that it would be ‘Doomsday’ for Rajasekhar and Jeevitha. The film shocked all the trade analysts by minting gold at the box office.

It is learned that Rajasekhar’s next film wouldn’t be from his home production. A producer has come forth to make a film with the hero. The producer was put to shock after Rajasekhar stated that he would only act if the film is produced on a budget of minimum 20 crores. A young director already received green signal for his script. The producer is currently unable to decide whether it is worth putting in such a huge budget for Rajasekhar.

Film critics have stated that it would be better if Rajasekhar limits himself to 10-crore budget film if he wishes to last for a little while in Telugu Film Industry. They further said, ‘It is foolish of Rajasekhar to assume that every film will be a hit like Garuda Vega’.

Khakee Movie Review by Telugu Bullet

Khakee Telugu Movie Review and Rating

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”] 

Though being a Tamil hero, Karthi has been quite popular in Telugu films too. He is so popular that, almost every film of his is being dubbed into Telugu. Karthi is seen thoroughly working on his film to improve his Telugu market after doing a film like Oopiri. His last film Cheliya was a disaster at the Telugu box office, while his previous film Kashmora remained as a decent grosser. Recently, the Tamil hero has come with one more film ‘Khakee’, dubbed version of Tamil film Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru.

Story:

Dheeraj Hari Prasad (Karthi) falls in love with the girl-next-door Priya (Rakul Preeth Singh) during his training period as an IPS officer. The couple’s relationship blossoms and heads towards a marriage. But, being a new officer, Dheeraj is repeatedly transferred from one place to another. During this time, Dheeraj’s starts to focus on a case relating to murdering of a family leaving along the Chennai Highway.

As he investigates further into the case, Dheeraj finds out that a Rajasthan gang that is responsible for this horrific murder and many more murders that have taken place around the nation. In his quest to see the end of the Rajasthan Gang, 1 ½ years pass by. The rest of the story deals with the vengeance he had to face from the Rajasthan Gang, and how he managed to deal with it.

Analysis:

The director has surely come out with a good crime-thriller story for the film. Though many films in the past have been on the same lines, watching Khakee gives us a fresh feeling. The audience might recollect a hint of Dandupalyam and Gharshana movies for a brief moment during few investigative scenes. The romantic scenes in the film appear to be distracting and unsettling from the outset. But the director gives a proper backdrop for the romantic track between the lead actors. The film is a good watch for crime-thriller genre audience.

The narration of the story from the perspective of a ‘Police Mind’, along with the perspective of the hero and the villain makes it more interesting and gripping. The director managed to clearly illustrate the difficulties an honest police officer come across while investigating a case, and also exemplified the cruel mind of a criminal.

The director’s success lied in his ability to show Karthi as an ‘Angry Young Man’. This film will be refreshing to the audience who have seen Karthi as a lover boy so far. Both Rakul Preeth Singh and Abhimanyu Singh breath life in their characters on screen.

Positive Points:

  • Narration and Direction
  • Hero
  • Villain

Drawbacks:

  • Slight drag
  • Extreme Reality in few scenes

The controversy over Nandi Awards gained momentum after various sections of the Telugu Film Industry condemned the Nandi Awards Committee. Various producers and directors are expressing their displeasure on the committee on all social media platforms and electronic media.

On the comment, ‘the Nandi Awards Committee surely deserve an Oscar for their non-prejudice judgment. I want to touch their feet’ made my Ram Gopal Varma, Maddineni Ramesh Babu, member of the Nandi Awards Committee abused director Ram Gopal Varma using vulgar, foul and impolite language.

RGV responded to Maddineni Ramesh Babu’s statement through a Facebook post. In the post, he stated, ‘Everyone has a right to respond to something that is going on in a democratic country. I responded to the Nandi Awards as it is my right to respond. Mr. Maddineni Ramesh Babu reacted to my comments rather in a harsher way,’ and he posted the abusive language used by the Ramesh Babu.

Varma further reacted stating that, ‘I don’t mind because someone abused me. But what pains me a lot is, how are these kind of people a part of a prestigious committee? I don’t know whether to be shocked or to feel sad on the Government that has selected this kind of members for the Jury. It is said that one grain is enough to tell how the rice would taste. If Maddineni Ramesh Babu is that one grain, then what about the state of the whole committee? It is the Government that has to answer now’.

The whole film industry, except Nandamuri Family, have been pretty vocal about the ‘prejudice’ show in the Nandi Awards. And interestingly, RGV did not react immediately. The director is known for his hard-hitting and sarcastic comments on any trending issue. His fans were greatly disappointed, not because he did not get a Nandi Award, but because he did react in his usual way on this controversy.

We guess RGV heard the prayer of his fans, and he did react today in his typical and sarcastic way. This is what his Facebook post read (after translation):

RGV: ‘Titanic director will touch Boyapati Seenu feet if he watches Legend’Wah! Wah! Wah! I just checked out the Nandi Awards winners list. It’sabsolutelymind-blowing! Extraordinary! Super Duper selection! As far as I’m concerned, I honestly believe that not even 1% of prejudice (partiality) is shown while selecting the awardees for the Nandi Awards. I think this is the only committee on this planet that has not shown even a hint of prejudice. Wow, Nandi Awards Committee! I want to touch your feet.’

His second post became more controversial. In his second posted he stated, ‘I don’t understand what is the fuss in giving Legend movie Nandi Awards in various categories. If Titanic director James Cameroon watched Legend, he would definitely submit all the 11 Oscar awards that Titanic won at the footstep of Legend movie director, Boyapati Srinu and will ask for his blessing’.

Recently, after the Nandi Awards were announced by the AP State government, the producer made some highly controversial statement. He said, ‘Are these Nandi Awards or Cycle Awards’, referring to TDP’s Party symbol ‘Cycle’.

Reacting to the comments made by Bandla Ganesh, few TDP followers have expressed their anger towards the producer. They said, ‘He might have become a producer now. But everyone knows his past. It is really pathetic to see someone who earned money by doing business with women, commenting on Nandi Awards.’

Bandla Ganesh in a recent web-interview reacted harshly to that comment. Ganesh said, ‘I never involved myself in any unethical business related to women. And moreover, I don’t have any need to even react to such statements’. He claimed that it is his hard work and the network he has in the industry that made him successful.

Controversial director Ram Gopal Varma came up with ‘Lakshmi’s NTR,’ while Kethireddy came up with ‘Lakshmi’s Veeragrandham’. It is also heard that production details of the fourth NTR biopic will be announced soon.

Going by facts, it would be a Hercules task to release these films two films (excluding Teja-Balakrishna’s NTR). Reason? It not because of the controversies that are surrounding them, but because of legalities that are likely to arise with their release. As per the law, the producers of these films have to obtain necessary permissions from the Nandamuri family. If they fail to do so, they can be prosecuted as per the law. This would not only result in stopping the film’s release, but also will result in severe ‘penalties’.senior ntr

And even if they are ready to pay the penalties, without the formal acceptance of Nandamuri Family the producers can never release the film. It is heard that the same has been shared by Teja in a different context.

Even Lakshmi Parvathi is also looking at this legal option. Though she doesn’t have the guts to file a case against Balakrishna’s NTR, one has to wait and see how things would unfold in the coming times.
