Please use condoms : Anushka
"These days the young men are having many relationships in their life. Though the social organizations tried change the youth regarding this, there has been no significant change according to the statistics. All the youth has to do is buy a pack of condoms and always keep with them like a cell phone."
Anushka should be commended for her participation in a noble cause. Generally this is the work of doctors, medical related people and social organizations. But if celebrities like Anushka make such statements, then there would be a lot of change in the people's mindset. Let's hope men will consider Anushka's message
Too Many hands spoiled 'Ravishing Beauty'
Bubbly Genelia is famous for her role 'Hasini' in Bommarillu due to the cuteness and youth factor it has shown. In the same lines, Bommarillu Bhaskar has designed the character of Genny for 'Orange' too. However, a number of involvements to mould her character have spoiled the final essence. It seems that, she is the only one went unnoticed in 'Orange' for poor performance. According to Film Nagar talk, three writers, one director and the big-fat producer are said to be the culprits in spoiling the value addition of Genelia's role for the flick.
National Media On 'Orange'
The new movie of Ramcharan Tej had brought in a lot of excitement and even the national media was quite curious to see its outcome.However, it appears that the fruit has not been upto the taste of the audience as well as the media. Here are a few excerpts from the media folks.
NDTV reported that Ramcharan’s efforts to reinvent himself as a lover boy has not worked to the fullest.
The reason for that is attributed to a thin storyline which left the audience confused and dazed.
As for Rediff, they felt that it was an effort by director Bhaskar to explore a different angle of love amongst the youngsters. Though he tried his bit to catch the pulse of the youth, it looked evident that he was confused on what he wanted to convey.
The Rediff folks feel that Bhaskar may have lost his magical touch and ended up with a disappointment.
Asin's 'Hot Affair' In Mumbai
Asin is very serious of becoming the top star in Bollywood. She has been trying all the ways to get that done. After Ghajjini, Asin is getting no chances to act in Bollywood in main league.

Asin is now banking on not so popular Neil Nithin Mukesh to find break in Bollywood. Sources say that she is not hesitating to satisfy Neil in any manner to fulfill her desire.
Both Neil and Asin are seen having coffee together and also found moving together in various occasions, events and places.
What happened to Pawan and Srija?
According to the close sources, The reason for Pawan's absence is said to be, he is busy shooting for his upcoming flick in South Africa. Coming to Srija, she was upset with the way the mega family is treating her husband Sirish Bharadwaj. Mega kin always kept Sirish Bharadwaj away from their family affairs.

Sexy Clash Between Ravi Teja & Raja Ravindra
History has shown that some of the greatest empires have collapsed and millions got killed, all for a woman. Now, the cine circuit is one place where frictions are normal but this time, a gossip is making rounds about a possible tiff between Ravi Teja and his good friend Raja Ravindra.Apparently, Raja Ravindra is said to be the co-producer for the film ‘Mirapakaya’ and this has Ravi Teja in the lead. Unit members reveal that there seems to be a fight brewing between the two and the reason for that happens to be the leading lady of the film Richa Gangopadhyay.
While it is not clear in what way Richa is connected to a tiff between Ravi Teja and Raja Ravindra, it is heard that there is an air of tension between the two. Whatever the cause those who are aware of this issue hope that it doesn’t get complicated further and the good friends remain as they are.
Young Director's shocking concept
Initially, the director has created some thrilling impact with his trailers and other promos. Sugar coated things like the Hollywood technicians and foreign heroine, attracted so many people to run into the theatres on the first day to check it. But, much to their enthusiasm, no one came out with a happy face and cheerful tone. Karma is the movie that deals with some cult practices, occult science and cannibalism that cannot be understood by any common movie goer of Telugu Cinema Industry. Despite the publicity in the name of 'Sai Kiran Adivi', who has won Nandi award for his first film, the film can be counted just for a few more shows..
Trisha's life time ambition fulfilled

Review
Story
Set on the backdrop of Australia, Ram (Ramcharan) is an youngster who loves graffiti but he doesn’t believe in love for lifetime. He wants to say truth all the while with respect to love life and live with open mind, open thought and open action with his partner.
This leads to a clash of ideology with Jaanu (Genelia) who studies in the same college and what starts out as a romantic tale between them both turns out to be a relationship of confusion and complications.
Ram explains this entire story as his flash back while a police cop (Prakash Raj) asks him as a part of informal interrogation (!)
Jaanu believes in everlasting love but given the thought process of Ram, will they be together? Can they really love each other? All this forms the rest of the story.
Artists Performance:
Ramcharan did his best to fit the lover boy tag and he was neat in his dance and dialogue delivery. Two things he must avoid- a clean shave and full body shots while in a group. There was no emotional depth in his character so his body language was average.
Genelia was depressing and disappointing. Her costumes were bizarre, the make up was patchy and her face looked blotted. She has lost the innocence and charm. Perhaps it is age but the blame also goes to the styling and her image etching. Performance wise, she was regular and didn’t have any special acts.
Shahzahn comes like a breath of fresh air and though she was brief, she looks cute and attractive. She has the potential to take lead roles.
Prakashraj was regular, Brahmi’s comedy was not upto the mark, Prabhu and Pavitra Lokesh were alright, Vennela Kishore was wasted, Madhurima was quick but sweet, Naga Babu made his presence felt. The others didn’t have much to offer except filling the screens and rolling out few lines.
Highlights:
Songs (although no much variety among each other)
Dances by Ram Charan
Production Values
Disappointments:
Theme
Dialogue
Lack of comedy
Lack of emotion quotient
Characterizations
Final Analysis:
The fundamental blunder in the film is that when speaking about love it should be run on emotions and feeling but not on calculation. To make things worse, Baskar tries to explain the calculation with his own narrative style which was rather confusing. He had something noble and different in mind but he could not conceive it in the right manner on the screen. There is no emotion, no romance, no chemistry between the lead pair, no sentiment and above all, no comedy. At one stage, it becomes like a boring mathematics class where the audience have become students and are trying to understand what Professor Bhaskar is trying to explain on the love algorithm.
The other disappointment is the philosophy on love. While it is nice to have an ocean full of love, it is common sense that love alone is not life. They are two different entities and the essence of life is in striking a balance between both. Fortunately, what Baskar was trying to say ended up confusing many in the theatre but to those who may have understood a fraction of it, this is truly dangerous. On the other hand, there are quite a number of instances where Bhaskar tried to take the route of Gautam Menon but the difference is chalk and cheese.
The good side of the film is the songs and their picturization which was really impressive and visually appealing. Charan’s efforts in songs were commendable. The fight sequence which involves the spray cans was also creative and colorful. As for his much hyped sky diving stunt, that is not so appealing as expected.
Overall, the film is good on presentation but very poor in content and completely blotched on narration and concept. While the masses have nothing in it, the class audience will feel like they are in a classroom. And regarding the mega fans…well, it looks like 2010 is just not their year as their favorite heroes seem to be dealing with unconventional characters.
Bottom Line: Orange - No Juice, Full Of Seeds

I am scared : Ram Charan
Ram Charan's exclusive interview
After a stupendous hit Magadheera, you chose to do a love story. Did you want to break away from that image and genre?
Not that I consciously wanted to do it but I had no other option. There will be no other story like Magadheera in the near future. So I chose a pure modern urban love story and could think of only Bhaskar as he has made a niche with his clean love stories which is ideal for a family audience.
Love stories are dime a dozen. How different is Orange?
In terms of characterisation, I have not seen anything like this before. It's very close to people's lives -- their day-to-day lives. There are truths in this movie, and it's educative. Every person -- young and old would have traces of this in their personal life as well. While making this film, I tried hard to get close to the character I play on screen.
Is the film a contemporary take on an issue or something fictional?
It's all about living a better life -- not about sacrificing but about understanding. We want the youth, the married couples and the aged to realise the intention of two people coming together. The movie shows a path of a better life, more hope, more love, more belief. This is what is lacking in today's relationships. It will lay a new path for relationships.
What's your role in the film?
The film unfolds from my character's perspective -- how the rest of the characters disagree to my way of living. I play an honest person whose love turns bitter because of his honesty. Here you will see only the character Ram. I play the character from the age of 16 to 25. I have not revealed this to anyone yet.
So, how was it shooting for this age group -- more so as a 16-year-old?
We worked backwards. We first shot the scenes where I am 25 years old first and then the ones where I am 16. I had to lose a lot of weight. I called my 16-year-old brother to the sets and interacted with him. I asked him questions, got his reactions and then portrayed the role.
Did you draw from your life when you were 16 as well?
There are traces of 16-year-old Charan in it -- you will see a shy 16-year-old on the screen.
You have two pretty young girls Genelia and Shahzahn in Orange. How was it working with them?
It was nice. I thought Orange was Shahzahn's first film as I didn't know she had done Rocket Singh earlier. I got to know about it later. She plays a character who is coming of age and added a lot of freshness to the character. She also did a song Rooba...where she put some life into it.
Genelia has done a number of movies. She has done this genre of movies like Boys, Jaane Tu.. She made me comfortable. She always surprised me. Even during rehearsals she would be innocent and we would think she didn't understand what Bhaskar said in Telugu. But when 'roll camera' was uttered, she would shock us. It was great to work with her. I would love to work with her in more films.
How was it working with Bhaskar?
He was different from my previous directors Puri Jagannath and SS Rajamouli, who were commercial directors. Working in Orange under Bhaskar was like a picnic. I used to wonder whether I was shooting because I used to do breezy scenes unlike in Magadheera where I was breaking people's hands. Bhaskar is strong in content as he is a writer and he handled the pressure well.
Expectations are high after Magadheera. Is that weighing on your mind?
I cannot run away. I am scared a bit. This may be a shock to the audience. It's easy in the industry to be slotted and I don't want that.
In today's times whether you like it or not, the division between mass and class entertainers is clear. Where does Orange fit in?
I don't subscribe to this division. If you go back in time, the film Khushi (Pawan Kalyan's) broke all norms of class and mass. Good cinema will always work. Orange is like universal cinema. These kinds of films should be promoted.
Your next project is Meruppu with Dharani -- a director who has delivered huge hits in the past. Meruppu is supposed to revolve around football...
Yes, it revolves around football. I wanted to do something sporty -- movies which connect with life than revenge drama. Sports connect to a wider audience.
How far has Meruppu progressed?
We have just finished one schedule.
Are you learning football for this film?
Yes, there is a trainer from Australia.
Have you signed any other project?
I'm doing a film with Krishnavamsi, the shooting of which may start when I am midway through Meruppu.
How does it feel to be Chiranjeevi's son? Is carrying the baggage difficult?
On screen, I have learnt to tackle it. Personally I have to learn to do it.
As an actor what are the kinds of films you want to do? How much would you want to push the envelope?
Pushing it for Orange was daring enough. I want to do 3 films a year though people say it may not be possible. Out of the three I want to do one which is meaningful, strong in content or an art film.
Are you getting used to losing your privacy and being under spotlight?
I don't go out much. Whenever I feel the need, I travel out of Hyderabad. Once in while I do want to sit in a coffee shop with my friends or have dinner in a restaurant. Yes, I miss that.
Do you have any time to indulge in pastimes?
I am into horse riding. I have four horses at my farm and spend a lot of time with them. I like reading self-help books, autobiographies and those on philosophy.
Rakta Charitra 2 Confirmed on Dec 3rd
Informing this to the media C Kalyan said, “We thank the media and the audience for rendering their support in the success of ‘Rakta Charitra’. Part 2 of ‘Rakta Charitra’ would thrill the audience more than that of Part 1. Ram Gopal Varma has designed the Part 2 in a new dimension. I’m very confident that the Part 2 would become a bigger hit. The film will have a grand opening on December 3rd. The audience have already seen Vivek Oberoi’s outstanding performance in the Part 1. Now they are going to see Surya’s remarkable performance in the second part of the film. Alongside Surya, Priyamani also played her role excellently. There are neither heroes nor villains in this film. The audience will see only the characters and the situations. The second part has many heart wrenching scenes.”
With Vivek Oberoi, Surya, Radhika Apte and Priyamani in central roles, ‘Rakta Charitra’ is jointly produced by Madhu Mantena, Chinna Vasudeva Reddy, Raj Kumar and Sheetal Vinod Talwar.

Orange Censor Review
Meanwhile, Orange censor report has been making rounds among the film circles. As expected the film is classy in its appeal, say reports. First half of the film is extremely good with loads of entertainment complimented with beautiful songs.
However, Orange has reportedly slowed down in the latter half when compared to the first half as per the reports. Brahmanandam’s comedy as Puppy came in handy at that time, say reports. Each and every song is a treat to watch and that would be the USP of this film it seems.
Orange movie appeals to the youth and urbane crowds, claim reports. Doubts over the reception from masses are raising many an eyebrow. As Orange is carrying lot of expectations as it is the immediate film of Ram Charan after Magadheera, it has to satisfy the audience immensely to get that positive mouth talk.
Preview reports give us an idea that Orange movie is average to above average in range. We have to wait and see what would be the audience judgment for this film.
Note: Censor reports are just for information sake. These reports are contrary to the actual result most of the times. Therefore, don’t go by these reports and come to a conclusion over the final result.
Genelia’s contrast look to ‘Bommarillu’ in ‘Orange’
Genelia’s role in Bommarillu was modern but yet was seen with traditional costumes whereas in Orange the actress sported minis and micro miniskirts. Since the movie moves with Australia backdrop, Genny needs to look ultra modern and so the actress was shown sporting minis.
Speaking on this the actress says, “I don’t agree it as skin show or exposing. It’s a common dress for all the Australian girls living there. Being an actress we need to wear every kind of dress that is apt to the role. I personally believe that as long as I feel comfortable with my dress and do not feel embarrassed in watching my film with the whole family members, I do not mind sporting such costumes.”

To create much more interest Shankar generated a new role of second heroine. Need to see who will be the second female lead Right now Shankar’s team is busy with screens tests.

Review
Story
Rama Krishna (Kalyan Ram Nandamuri) is a football player who aspires to play for national team. He lives in a joint family and bonds over well with his sister Haritha (Saranya Mohan). He protects her all the time. One sudden day she disappears. He searches for her finds out that she is married to a factionist from Rayalaseema. And she is in trouble. The rest of the story is all about how he sacrifices his aim of playing for nation so that he can save from her from her trouble.
Artists Performance:
Kalyan Ram has got two get-ups in the movie. He is normal in the first half and has a special get-up in the second half. Lot of appreciation should go to cinematographer Sarvesh Murari in bringing out starking variations between these two get-ups. Kalyan Ram’s dialogue delivery has improved by miles in this movie. And he is at ease in casual scenes and has impact-making presence in action episodes. Kalyan Ram is an honest actor and you can see his zeal to work hard towards it in this movie.
Saranya Mohan suited the role very well and she is a nice actress. Sana Khan is beautiful in looks and she did adequately well. Shyam is nice as a guy with negative streaks. I loved the make-up of Kota, Telangana Sakuntala and Ajay in this movie. Kota is extremely good. Ajay looks menacing with a damaged eye. Raghu Karumanchi is an actor who is good at comedy and you can find him in most of the movies of Surender Reddy and NTR. He entertains with his typical Telangana dialect and funny face in this movie for a brief time. Ahuti Prasad, Chandra Mohan, Dharmavarapu and Telangana Sakuntala are adequate. Brahmanandam entertains in the second half with his cellphone comedy as ‘swathi muthyam’.
Technical Side:
It is a sister sentiment movie with ample action elements. The ‘football player - joint family - sacrificing goal for family’ set-up seem to have resemblance to Chiranjeevi’s Vijetha. However, the story provided by Vakkantam Vamsi has a novel point in sister-sentiment thread. Screenplay of the movie is nice in the second half. Direction of the movie is decent though we expect the emotion to be more impact-making in scenes leading upto action episodes. Brahmanandam’s comedy and ‘naa daivam’ photo episodes will give relief in second half which is laden with action and sentiment.
Cinematography by Sarvesh Murari is excellent (a part of the credit should also go to DI team). Dialogues by M Ratnam are big asset to the movie. Fights by Ram Lakshman are really good and chase episode of a SUV rotating in air is excellently conceived. However, climax scene of sword-piercing look unreal due to the excessive size of the sword. Most of the action sequences (chases and fight in the builder’s home) are good. Music by Mani Sharma is adequate. I liked Natu Kodi koora song (typical orchestration that is used in NBK’s hits like Narasimha Naidu and Samarasimha Reddy). The movie is made with proper care in terms of production values and post production quality.
Final Analysis:
First half of the movie is adequate. The movie gets interesting from the kidnap episode. Second half is racy with lots of action episodes. The climax fight is too massy. The plus points of the movie are brand-new Kalyan Ram and technical values (dialogues, camera and fights). This movie is mainly aimed at female crowds (sentiment factor) and masses (action episodes and dialogues). Kathi is an adequate movie and the success will depend on how ladies and masses patronize it.

Power Star Threatens Romantic Hero
It is already known that Pavan’s Khushiga is a remake of Bollywood film ‘Love Aaj Kal’ that has Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in the lead. However, recently released Siddharth’s ‘Baava’ has a little flavor of LAJ when Rajendra Prasad reveals his flash back. As the concept is very vital to the storyline of the remake, Pavan is upset over this. Close sources revealed that power star is intending to take legal action against the producers of Bava that may affect the hero too. As Pavan cannot come up with any original story lines to score a hit these days he banked on this remake, and Siddharth seemed to be spoiling his dream.
Are you mad? - Asin asks Media

Long gap after just two films(Ghajini & London Dreams) in Bollywood?
"I need to get excited to work in a project or with a team of people. It doesn't really matter if you come out with a good film after a long gap. I think you should enjoy what you are doing and work with the people you want to work with. I don't look at it as, 'oh my God I have not had a release this year'. Meanwhile, I did a few South films that I quite enjoyed," said Asin.
Buzz is that after your current film 'Ready', you will not do any more movies with Salman Khan.
"Are you mad? I would love to do as many movies with that man as possible. I think he is a wonderful person and the coolest co-star to work with. He is encouraging and great fun on sets," replied the actress.
On relationship with Dhoni
"(Smiles) Too much of unnecessary noise was made about it. I wouldn't want to say anything. He is a friend and I don't think it is wrong of a friend to visit another friend's house," concludes Asin.
