Analysis:
Ram Charan starrer Rachcha was successful motion picture however the film was criticized for its conventional storytelling. In Panthera tigris, director Sampath Nandi side a lot of comedy still keeping his regular vogue.

The first 1/2 the motion picture is funny and has some humourous episodes however he couldn't maintain an equivalent tempo within the last half. all the same, the motion picture works as average fare as a result of its industrial parts like comedy, packed with skin show by heroines,  and hero Ravi Teja's fun act.

Since the story is extremely certain and easy, the director has tried to play the sport with comedy and dialogues. a number of the dialogues like 'when we tend to thought there would not be a lot of in style star than Rajinikanth in South Asian country, here came Pawan Kalyan', that will sure as shooting create mass audiences and therefore the fans come in mania.

There are dialogues of complimentary province Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Mahesh Babu's Srimanthudu.

Such reasonably dialogues and excellent funny episode by Prudhvi as Future Star Siddappa has created the primary [*fr1] terribly fun.

Post interval, like in Rachcha, the director has unable to stay the similar tempo as too several action sequences square measure thrown in. last half and foregone conclusion of the story and therefore the ending has created the motion picture simply a mean fare.

The questionable flashback episode of the hero and his mission is nearly just like Ravi Teja's recent motion picture Bhageeratha. Even Boman Irani's character is like Prakash Raj's in Bhageeratha. however director has modified the wrapping.

All in all, the film is associate degree out and out mass mortal.

Bottom-line: Regular Fare With Comedy

Tamil actors Rajinikanth, Suriya, Karthi, Vishal and Dhanush have donated Rs 40 lakh to the Nadigar Sangam, which is collecting for relief fund for the rain affected people in Tamil Nadu.

Chennai has been hit by the massive rainfall and flood in the last couple of weeks. The schools and colleges were shut and the roads blocked by flood. The life of the general public has been affected by the recent calamity in Chennai, which has suffered a huge loss, of lives as well as material things.


Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa had sought Rs 2000 crore from the central government as relief for areas affected by heavy rains and floods in the state. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a financial assistance worth Rs 939.63 crore. The Nadigar Sangam has come forward to support the chief minister, and it is collecting donations from the celebrities from the film industry.

Some stars like Vijayakanth, Rabhava Lawrence and Anirudh have donated for the cause last week. Suriya and Karthi met Nassar, President of Nadigar Sangam, and handed over a cheque of Rs 25 lakh towards CM Relief Fund on Saturday. Actors Vishal and Dhanush followed them and donated Rs 10 lakh and Rs 5 lakh respectively for the relief.


Rajinikanth's Sri Raghavendra Public Charitable Trust has donated Rs 10 lakh for the rain-affected victims of Tamil Nadu.

"As instructed by our Managing Trustee, Sri Rajinikanth, we are enclosing herewith a payorder of date bearing No. 056325.

Review : Shankarabaranam – Just for few laughs

Release date : December 04, 2015

Rating : 2.75/5

Director :Uday Nandanavanam

Producer : M.V.V.Satyanarayana

Music Director : Praveen Lakkaraju

Starring : Nikhil,Nanditha,Anjali,Rao Ramesh

The aggressive promotions of Shankarabharanam created a huge buzz for the film. Starring Nikhil and Naditha in lead roles, this film has hit the screens today. Let’s now see how different will this attempt from Kona Venkat and Nikhil turn out to be.

Story:-

Gautam(Nikhil) is an American Indian who leads a carefree life. One fine day, he finds out that his dad(Suman) is bankrupt and has heavy debts. Left with no choice, Gautam’s mother decides to sell off her ancestral palace in Bihar and assigns this task to Gautham.

Gautam lands in Bihar only to know that his ancestral palace is occupied by his huge extended family. A disappointed Gautam, makes a plan to sell off the palace, and exactly when he is about to close the deal, he gets kidnapped by a notorious criminal gang.

What will Gautam do now ? How will he escape this deadly Kidnapping ? and How will he solve all his financial problems ? That forms the rest of the story.

Highlights:-

Even though this film is a loose remake of the Bollywood film Phas Gaya Re Obama, the way Kona Venkat has set it in Tollywood standards is quite good. Nikhil looks apt as an NRI and does his role with a lot of sincerity. He has worked hard on the American accent and manages to pull it off decently.

Nanditha is ok in her role and ably supports Nikhil. But the real star of the film is 30 years industry Pruthvi, who evokes superb comedy in the film. All his one liners and his hilarious role of a cop is a huge plus for the film. Saptagiri also does a decent job and makes things lively during the first half.

Second half is where the actual story starts and has some decent moments. The comedy punches, entire episode featuring Sampath and Nikhil has been designed well during the climax. There are some fun elements here and there which keep you entertained at times.

Minus Points:-

Kona Venkat has clearly revealed in all his interviews that he has left the bakra kind of template with this film. But sadly, same is the case here too and the only difference is that he makes a fool of too many gangs instead of one.

Anjali’s character has no weight and a star actress has been wasted in such a small role. After starting the proceedings with an impressive note, the feel is missed completely. As said earlier, except for some histrionics from Saptagiri, the first half has nothing much to offer.

Also, there are various kidnapping episodes and money dealings which create a bit of a confusion at times. First ten minutes of the second half looks silly.

Technical Aspects:-

Credit should go the cameraman for his splendid work. The way he has showcased the rustic locales of Bihar is quite brilliant. Also, the locations chosen and production values are pretty impressive. Music by is below average and could have been better.

Screenplay by Kona Venkat is jaded as many scenes go haywire. Editing is ok but certain family scenes in the first half could have been avoided. Coming to the director Uday, he has done a below par job in the film. The concept and story was good but his narration and execution was pretty ordinary.

Verdict:-

On the whole, Shankarabharanam is good only in bits and pieces. A dragged out first half, slow narration and some below par execution of crucial scenes spoil the effect most of the time. Having said that, you can try this film only for its unique story line and Pruthvi’s comedy punches here and there.

Review : Hate Story 3 (Sharman Joshi, Zarine Khan)

Review : Hate Story 3

Release date : Dec 4, 2015 

movie magazine Rating : 3.5/5

Director : Vishal Pandya

Producer : Bhushan Kumar, Vikram Bhatt

Music Director : Amaal Mallik, Meet Bros

Starring : Sharman Joshi, Zarine Khan, Karan Singh Grover, Daisy Shah Hate Story 3 was in the news from quite some time now. Starring hotties Zarine Khan and Daisy Shah, this film has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it is.

Story:-

Aditya Singh(Sharman Joshi) and Siya Singh( Zarine Khan) are a highly successful couple who run a huge empire. One fine day, they get a huge car as a gift. Upon investigation, they find out that the gift is from yet another rich business man Saurabh Singhania (Karan Singh Grover).

Intrigued by this, Aditya and Siya arrange a meeting with Saurabh. During this meeting, Saurabh promises the couple that he is ready to solve all their major problems in business only if Aditya allows his wife to spend a night with him. A furious Aditya leaves the meeting with his wife.

A disturbed Saurabh now decides to destroy Aditya’s empire and manages to successfully do so. Left with no choice, Aditya sends his personal secretary Kaaya(Daisy Shah) to find out Saurabh’s motto behind all this.

Who is this Saurabh ? What is his connection with the Aditya’s ? and will Kaaya successfully find out the truth behind all this ?

Highlights:-

As expected, all the so called sensuous scenes have been executed well and will go supremely well with the masses. The film has enough skin show which will bring in huge crowds to the theaters.

Zarine Khan surprises you with her bold avatar and carries of her sensuous look quite effortlessly. Music is superb and will be the major selling point of this film. Sharman Joshi is apt in role and does a decent job.

Karan Singh Grover is surprisingly good in role which has multiple shades. The revenge drama, mind games and suspense has been maintained well till the end.

Drawbacks:-

This film has serious adult content and is strictly for the youth. There are certain sensuous scenes which go over board and look cheap at times. Second half has certain illogical scenes and do not gel with the flow of the film.

Daisy Shah is pretty bad in her role. She needs acting lessons in the emotional department and looks out of place in the film. Except for her skin show, she has nothing much to offer. Story is quite predictable after a point as the proceedings becomes a bit slow.

Technical Aspects:-

As said earlier, music of the film is the biggest asset. All the songs are superb and have been shot quite well. Camera work is neat and all the so called sensuous scenes have been shot decently. Editing is sleek while the screenplay is impressive. Story by Vikram Bhatt is quite routine but the thrills executed are superb. Director Vishal Pandya sticks to his job and does what is required of him. He adds a bit of everything and plays it to the galleries quite well.

Verdict:-

On the whole, Hate Story 3 is one of the boldest films which has come out in the recent past. This erotic thriller is aimed at its target audience that is youth, and holds their attention with some superb and well executed sensuous scenes. The foot tapping music is icing on the cake and makes this film a good watch for its interesting twists and turns.
