A classic beauty - Radhika Apte

Just came to know that Radhika Apte is selected to act in RGV's Raktha Charitra to act as Paritala Suneeta. Man, what a classic beauty she is!!! She can look gorgeous in both western outfits as well as Indian traditional dresses. She can be a gift to Indian film industry as she can act very well too. A real future star in making. Hopefully she will occupy the No.1 spot which is vacant ever since Madhuri Dixit left the film industry

Bendu Appa Rao is an average affair

Bendu Appa Rao is a plain average movie. It definitely is not what the reviews suggest. The comedy is below par for me. The only saving grace is the mystery behind the 15 lakhs which Bendu Appa Rao gets from a dying man. The comdey is very insipid and old fashioned. EVV should come out of Jandhyala style comedies which are outdated now and the 90s style of songs picturization. Time has changed and EVV seems to have been stuck in 90s when he churned out hits after hits. Kamna is ok while Meghna Raj is awful. Ahuti Prasad is probably the best of the lot when it comes to making you laugh. The rest of them are ok.

Mahatma songs

Go for it. Really nice composition from Vijay Antony for whom Mahathma is the first movie in telugu. He is a very popular music director in Tamil. For me Em Jarugutondi and Neelapoori are the best in terms of melody. They are very nice. Ofcourse they are in traditional telugu style and not the modern melodies. Jajjanakka is very good mass song which is already very popular in radios. There are two motivational songs in the form of Indiramma and Tala Ethi.

Overall a nice music buy for hardcore telugu movie lovers. Others might find it a bit disappointing though

TV9 encashing on public relief too??

It can't get more shameful than this. The way TV9 is blatantly publicizing their relief efforts is loathsome. Yes, it is good to see them coming forward to help the flood victims but they should also realize that they are doing only the job of being a coordinator and nothing much. Even though it is their duty to do that, we should appreciate that effort as not many news channels have come forward with such a plea. But, after watching them beating their own drums it looks like they have done it to publicize their channel more than offering help.

TV9, instead please dedicate that time for some news rather than interviewing people who came to donate stuff at your office. Shame Shame TV9
