Ram Gopal Varma, the man with the penchant for controversies comes out with a movie which is the fictional interpretation of facts. This movie depicts the story of people who can go to extremes for achieving what they think is good for them, no matter how bad is it for the others. The plot revolves around two families set against each other by another family. Since, this was supposed to be the story which has actually happened, it would not be reasonable to talk about justifications of the story and the plot.
RGV needs to be mentioned first before anyone else. The best was extracted out of all the performers. A true director who held his ship, marshaled his troupes and eventually got the victory. The story line was shrunk into a span of 2 years, which actually happened for a period of 2 decades. He claimed it as one of the most violent movies with lots of bloodshed and he lives up to the standards he set. His directorial brilliance was seen specially in the scene which shows, infact doesn't show, the "Pedda Sir". Pratap Ravi's introduction, Shivaji Rao's characterization, Bokka Reddy's barbarism needs a special mention. Since, the story could not be modified it was all on the director to visualize and recreate the scenes which actually have happened. RGV was instrumental in showcasing the mentalities of the characters.
Technically, most of the shots were close up shots probably to capture the emotions. Killings were shown in a superb way, shots were edited so precisely such that the weapon was shown until it touches the body. BGM elevated the mood of the movie. All credits to RGV for making this happen.
The flaws, infact not really, but the areas which I thought could have dealt with more precision were detailing how the plots were sketched out in the murders, the points which led to the misconceptions between the two parties should have been in more detail. As the movie was boasting of excessive bloodshed, execution was more concentrated. But, owing to the time line and attributing the story line to the real life these can be ignored. The biggest set back was the voice over given by RGV which was annoying at times and irritating most of the times. RGV always lets the audience to judge the scene but in this movie he was actually trying to explain the scene to the audience which I felt as quite unusual.
Vivek Oberai was terrific. He involved himself in the character of Pratap Ravi and delivered his best performance till date. Company showed him as a rookie and RC-I showed him as the best professional in business. Radhika Apte never looked like she doesn’t belong to a rural background. Shatrughan SInha brought the glamour, style and mannerisms which were needed for the role he played. Kota, Tanikella Bharani, and Shubhalekha Sudhakar are the only Telugu actors in the movie. All three proved that they were the best choices. Abhimanyu Singh, spilled venom from his eyes and actions. The best performance amongst all the others if the comparisions have to be drawn.
The icing on the cake was the climax of the movie. The climax starts with the trailer of RC-II making the audience think that the best is yet to come.
A must watch movie for the people who don’t know the story and for the people who know the story, to know how their imagination has been visualized.

Khaleja ~ A Classical mass movie
God lives in peoples belief. The belief can be a idol, an unseen power or even a normal human being. Its all about what you believe. This belief also generates when one gets to know the qualities that makes a human being, a God. Serving humanity is being god like. The concept of Khaleja movie revolves around this plot of how a Taxi driver turns into the Saviour for a whole village.
The story of the movie involves a village which has been effected by continuous deaths because of unknown reasons. A soothsayer in the village feels that there exists one person who can save them from their distress. They term him as their God. How they find him, how he saves them, what is the actual reason for the death, Is it a curse which can be changed only by God, or is it a intentional Holocaust which can be stopped by any human forms the rest of the story.
Mahesh, plays the role of a Taxi driver, who becomes the most wanted person for a village. He has been a complete revelation. He adopted a completely different slang from the rest of his movies and executed it to the perfection. If looks can kill, he will be the most wanted killer in Tollywood. His action was energetic, dialogue delivery much different from the subtle roles he did. Comedy timing and fights amazingly done.
Anushka is passable. Her character has no ample scope for performance and she does well in the limited time she has. Her costume designer needs a makeover. Sunil, Ali, Brahmanandam etc., makes you laugh. Prakash Raj , though, has a small role does a class act apart from the climax.
Trivikram needs to be appreciated for the story line he chose. He poses questions, answers them and again raises concerns over his answers. This movie has the basic concept of "Aham Brahmasmi" which was earlier taken in the movie "Satyame Shivam". If Satyame Shivam was a complete class movie, Khaleja is a classical mass movie. Satyame Shivam deals with the capitalism and Khaleja deals with the negative aspects of the industrialization. Both the films show how a god can be seen in humanity. Trivikram took utmost care in penning the dialogues. He connected every scene in the movie and made sure that most of the scenes make sense and have their importance in the final build up of the story. His dialogues suited well to the character of a taxi driver. Dances were good and costumes for Mahesh need a special mention.
The negative aspects of the movie being excessive display of bloodshed, too much violence, and a story line which may not necessarily be received by most of the audience. It might be confusing to people who think in the lines of the people in village, but include rationality, which wasn’t shown in the village people.

Komaram Puli ~ A satirical approach
Komaram Puli roars. He roars after a long time. This roar has not only the power but also makes everyone remind their own duties and responsibilities. The duties which are ignored and the responsibilities which are never taken up. This movie emphasizes the fact of being born as a human and the responsibility a person has to live with.
SJ Suriya showed his brilliant skills in almost every scene of the movie. He tried hard not to disappoint any section as this movie was meant to reach everyone and he almost got success. The way he has organised the movie giving scope for all the cast to prove their acting prowess is highly incredible. He made sure that not even a single comedy actor goes away in vain.
Story line typically gives the example of what is not there in the present society. A honest cop who uses his wit, vocabulary, oral skills to impress all the officials. He can detect lies by looking at peoples eyes, but then, he also has some exceptions for that. His mother wants him to be a cop for the society but not for the personal vengeance which shows the way movie goes. The story of a cop who wants to instigate fear among all the criminals of the world by nabbing one of the top criminal and the way he deals with it is the basic plot of the movie.
The growth of technology and its help in finding out the criminals around the world has been showcased in detail and eventually human wins the race with the technology. Camera work was excellent, as the audience can actually see the ripples going through the actors performance in the scenes. Design of the sets have to appreciated. Puli teams office, Al Saleem's home which actually leaves people wondering which place it is.
Pawan Kalyan rocked the show. He showed that he not only can deliver one liners but also lengthy dialogues effectively if given a chance and he has proved more than once in this movie. For the first time ever some one in a movie actually calls him a Power Star. Never seen before action sequences, superbly co-ordinated fights ala knife held at a perfect angle to obstruct the bullet coming from the gun. He show how tough guy he can be in terms of romance. The resistance he shows to the oomph of heroine cannot go unnoticed. Its an out and out Pawan Kalyan movie which shows all his shades.
Nikisha shows what she is best at. Sharanya managed to look young and delivered well. Nazar wasn’t left behind as it always used to be. He sticks with the hero most of the time. Charan Raj character sets an example of how other characters can be elevated.
Finally, Manoj Bajpai, the villian. The strength of the villian comes from the weakness of hero. Since, the hero doesn’t have any weakness, the villian had to create his own strength which he did succesfully. If you miss heros words, no worries, villian will utter them again for you but with less intensity and power.
Finally, I felt this movie as a landmark of all Pawan Kalyan movies. This can never be and will never be forgetten movie of Pawan Kalyan.

The start of a new journey
I asked "Madhu, Will you marry me?". She said, "Yes, I will".
Scene 1: It was the month of December. One fine day, I get a phone call from my parents. The time was on for the search of my life partner. An arranged marriage. They sent me the picture of a girl whom they thought would be a correct match for me. I opened my email, had a glance at the picture and thought "Well, interesting. Let me talk to her once." I spoke to my parents and asked them to let me know the time I can speak to her.
Scene 2: A honorary function arranged in the honor of Shri Shivananda Murthy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadguru_Sivananda_Murty) at Warangal. My parents get the invitation from her parents. They felt it as the best time for me to speak to her. Then it happens, The first phone call. I don't remember the exact words what we spoke. But, it was more of a cordial talk for less than 5 minutes. We both agreed on to have a chat on webcam later with the permission of parents.
Scene 3: Webcam chat. Thanks to Yahoo we get to see each other first time apart from the pictures. Again a cordial talk but this time for a longer time. I came to know about a few things more. The things which I liked instantly about her were she was a movie buff like me, respects her parents and gives importance to family values. There were a couple of things which I didn't like.
The conclusion after my chat was I was interested in meeting this girl. But, I cannot take any decision before I meet her personally.
Then things come to a halt. I get busy with some other stuff and the proposal falls back in the priority lists.
After 8 months, in the month of August, I finally get a chance to visit India. http://deepak-preciousthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/08/itinerary-of-stopover-journey.html
Scene 4: August 14: Her Home. The official Pelli Chupulu.
This was the first day I saw her personally. "Live" in the media language. It was the Pelli Chupulu. The time when the girl and guy gets a chance to meet each other. We see each other, then we were allowed to spend some time talking to each other. I was hesitant to speak first. The conversation started with the memories of our first chat. It was almost 8 months since we had our last chat. But, it didn't seem to be. The conversation hit the right notes and it went on. The elders were expecting our talk to go for 15 minutes. But 15 minutes passed, 30 mins gone. If I remember right it was almost 45 minutes. We spoke about a lot of things. The things which I wasn't sure of after my chat, faded away in this 45 minute talk.
Scene 5: My Home:
I was still in a confusion. It was going to be the decision of my life and I didn't want to take it in a hurry. I asked my parents whether they were completely convinced with the girl and her family. They said they were more than happy to have her in the family. I was still searching for any negatives. The fact that I was searching for the negative itself meant that there were a lot of positives.
Next day, it was my friend Sunil's Engagement in Hyderabad. I attended that and was still thinking about the decision which I had to make.
The day after, I call my parents and said that I need to talk to her again before I make any decision. They gave me her number. I called her and asked her out. I thought she wont agree but I was happy to hear that she also wanted to have a talk. We fix a time to meet and the place.
Scene 6: Shilparamam. Aug 16.
We met at her hostel. We started looking for some place to sit. Then we decided to go to Shilparamam. So, the location was set. I started talking. I spoke to her on all the things which I felt she should know about. Exchanged our views about things which we have in common, any differences we had. All this time I was searching for any things which I can think of as completely against to my views. Fortunately, the things I found were very trivial.
The time went by quickly, 2 hours and then I was completely convinced. She will be my choice. No more second thoughts about it. The final minutes of our conversation.
Me: After all this talk, I want to ask you an important question. My decision depends on your answer.
She (confused): What is that?
Me (With a red rose, kneeling down): Madhu, will you marry me?
She (after a pause): Yes!! I will.
Her name is Lalitha Madhuri and I call her Madhu. My life partner.
(Prelogue: Jump back to the time before scene 6: I was almost sure of making Madhu as my partner. I felt I would be the first person to let her know rather than the usual way of her parents conveying the message. I want to make my decision day memorable. I wanted to propose her. So, before I go to meet her, I wanted to buy a red rose and then give her the rose and propose. Thanks to Pavan, who helped me in this whole episode.)
There I stand committed to Madhu.
Then the Engagement happened on Aug 21, had to leave India and fly back on Aug 23. More about after Engagement stories later..
Adios.

Itinerary of a Stopover Journey
I'm flying to India tomorrow. Nothing new in it, as I go home almost every year. I feel India trips are always short and exciting no matter how long is my stay in India. Its always a pleasure to be at home, eating food without cooking, sleeping with no alarm to wake you up and having all the time to spend on your own. I always prefer to go home in the month of August as it gives me a chance to enjoy the monsoons and thus the rains in India. The smell of the soil when it rains is one of the things which never ceases to amuse me. Nature at its best. Crowded roads, honking vehicles, roadside food makes me nostalgic. Good old days.
This time its something different. This will be the shortest ever trip I made to India till date. This will be a different trip from my previous ones. The main purpose of all my India trips was pleasure and relaxation, but this time some serious business is on the cards.
Well, this trip is a stopover for my life journey. If everything goes as per the plan my sojourn will change my status. Am I excited or nervous. Excitement, nicely packed in a box of nervousness is the best way I could describe my situation. I'm enjoying it though.
To break the ice, I will be meeting my partner for life in this stopover. I've been asked this question of how do you want your girl to be many number of times. My answer was always "She should be smart enough to keep herself entertained and not depend on others for her time." In much simpler words she should be individualistic. I always believe in the quote "Nobody is perfect". I don't expect my partner to be perfect as I'm not perfect either. Only birds of same feather can flock together huh!!! But attempts should be made to make each other perfect to each other as the time goes.
One of my favorite quotes on marriage says "Marriage is not only about sharing the similarities but also respecting the differences". I don't think there will be any two persons in the World who completely think alike. The similarities may vary depending on the individuals but never can be two persons thinking same at all times. So, it would be foolish to expect someone who thinks in the same lines as me always. The differences should be respected and understood.
My itinerary for this stopover journey of my life consists of meeting new people, one of whom might be one of the most seen faces for the next part of my life, attending my roomies engagement, catching hold of new friends whom I've been talking for more than months but never met personally and above all spending time with my family after an year. Huff, lots of things and the time I have is 15 days. Well, that life. Take it as it comes.
Got to pack some more stuff. Jeezzz, these airline rules. India, here I come, with bag full of gifts, chocolates and heart full of expectations which can never make me disappoint. After-all, my expectations can never disappoint me. Thats the way I expect things to go.

My lines
Change is the only consistent thing in this world and if you are not flexible enough to change yourself for what you feel is good then that shows your incapability for adaptation.
Successfully achieving a failure will get you success, since you will be busy in searching for a successful failure and success often comes to those who are busy in not thinking about success.
When Uniqueness becomes common, a common man becomes unique.
Habits, irrespective of good or bad, are killers of laziness. Laziness rocks and personified.
Boredom is the virtue of Non-creative people.
A person who cannot control his emotions cannot be matured enough in taking decisions which are not supposed to be altered emotionally but can be modified intellectually, and if the intellectuals cannot win over emotions, then the person cannot be considered matured.
Self Respect is respecting self, irrespective of what others respect.
Never like anything to such an extent that you start hating anything about it.
A perfect balance between optimism and reality can lead to a full fledged happy life.
Ashashwathamina vaati meeda shashwathamina prema penchukunte, shashwathanga ashashwatham gurinchina aalochanalu matu maayam avutaai.

The Vegas trip..an year before
I wanted to refresh my memories and make this post as an archive of one of my Vegas trips. I said one of my trips because I've been to Vegas 3 times and this was undoubtedly best of all. The trip was amazing and very well planned and executed. I wished that this would be another of the reunions but unfortunately 3 of my frnds couldn't make a cut for some obvious reasons, and so we 4, me, Kishore,Vamsi and Shivram decided to have masti.
Shivram was our host. Fortunately he lives in Vegas and unfortunately he is still a student. So, this guy was the begining and end point of our trip. He came from vegas to my place which is about 3 and a half hours away and then we both went to Los Angeles Airport to pick kishore from Dallas. Everything went well, and we started our trip. By the time we reached Vegas it was early morning 5. Luckily all of us shared the wheel and nobody was tired..
Vegas was calling.....5am..July 3 2009
We went right away into Bellagio and started gambling, of course only Kishore, as I dont gamble and neither does Shivram. We were juss enjoying the free drinks, the cokes and the coladas. Kishore was having his share of luck at a table "Casino wars", and then a guy showed up he threw $1500 and started playing. We were surprised at the reluctant throw, but in Vegas it was normal, and to our surprise within a span of 30 mins he went back with $4,500, a win of $3000 in 30 mins, as the saying goes, lady luck always smiles at the rich guys. After 2 hours at almost 7am we started to home to take a short nap and get ready for the whole day and the big thing Vamsi was coming got to pick him up.
Vegas Airport. Around 11 am
We started to the Airport, Vamsi was on time. It was a great feeling to see him after more than a year. He was all changed in his looks. He had long hair, which he used to have when we were in our college. He was all excited about being in Vegas. Welcome to Vegas dude.

Vamsi was all so pumped up that he didn't even bother to go to home to freshen up. We just hit the casino, since it was Vamsi's first time at gambling, we thought beginners luck would favor him. But unfortunately, nope. It was lunch time and everyone was hungry. Time to eat. Shivram, being a picky at food and a local, suggested his favorite restaurant, The Thai Cuisine. We all had a good lunch with laughs floating around. I cant forget the "Fortune Cookie" incident. I hope everyone remembers it. I wish I could share it, but then I'd be killed for doing that. Later, being tired and with stomachs full, everyone wanted a nap. One more reason being that night we were about to hit the rocking dance floor of MGM Grand, the Studio 54.
Shivaram's Apartment. Around 8 pm
We really had a great time at Studio 54. The dance floor was amazing and the icing on the cake was the Punjabi number which was played when we were about to leave the floor. After Studio 54 it was the time to gamble again. Kishore was the expert and he shared his expertise with all of us. Being ardent followers and good disciples we also followed him in losing money. By the time we reached home it was late night and time to sleep as the next day was the big day. The 4th of July, and the day of fire work works.
Next day we started late. Last nights tiredness was showing on everyone. We decided to have lunch at Indian restaurant. Had a nice lunch at Gandhi Indian cuisine, and started off for another exciting day at Vegas.
Gandhi Indian Cuisine, Vegas. July 4th 2009. Around Noon time.
I wanted to have Kishore pen down a few thoughts about the trip. He agreed to be my guest blogger. The proceedings of the day would be in his words now.
Vegas streets, July 4th 2009, After Lunch time.
"All these Khaboom around the town reminds me of our trip to Vegas on July 4th weekend of 09. I have been to Vegas 2 other times before that but this time it was unusual. Generally it’s an apt example for “always alive city” but I remember pretty well that we were talking about it being hit by recession so there were not much crowd. It was not even a long weekend when I visited it for the first time but I was so impressed with the city which never slept literally. I took a picture of it at 3 am and it was filled with a lot of traffic on a Saturday night. I said man it is amazing I want to visit this place every year and at least once in a year and so far I did successfully for 3 consecutive years since 07.
It was late in the evening on the 4th we were just wandering on the strip all day long as usual with no plan then we ended up walking all the way to one end of strip to Wynn and then on our way back we were so tired that I had to say OK lets just get the car out and leave home I cant walk anymore and take this anymore [which I am known for ;)] because I was so hungry. We did not even want to wait till the fireworks at Venetian and got our car out to get in to the traffic which was moving at a snail pace about hardly 5 mph. By the time we started to worry about the traffic the fireworks started right then and it was splendid sight with an excellent view from our car with our AC on rather than burning ourselves out in the humid Vegas weather.
Then after all that fireworks traffic finally started moving surely but slowly so slow that we could get down at Bellagio to catch the musical fountains in action and then get back in to the car too. Haha we enjoyed a lot at riding luxury J then we ended up ordering pizza and glutton ourselves that night….We even got to go to studio 54 in MGM and overall I really had a lot of fun in that trip. I guess my friends Deepak, Shivaram n Vamsi, who were my accomplices for the trip would surely agree with me J
On that note I want to tell them I miss them and its been that good one year I met them all. Hope to see you soon guys."
So, that was Kishore. It was indeed a great experience with the fire works. As all good times have to come to an end, so was our long day coming to an end. Tired, exciting, and refreshing at the same time.
The next day was the time to go back to LA, my place. On the way, we planned to meet another friend, Srinivas and Kiranmayee, the newly wed. The drive was again a long drive, but not tiring as everyone shared the wheel. Luckily, traffic wasn't busy. We reached Beaumont, Srinu's city, on time. Had a nice home made lunch and started off to my place, which was the last pit stop in this trip.
Srinivas's Apartment, Beaumont, July 5th 2009, Lunch time.
We all spent the night at my place, then in the morning, visited my workplace, as I had to go back to work and say good bye to one of the wonderful trips I ever had.
My workplace, July 6th, 2009, 8am.
It was a trip which I can never forget. The thoughts and memories are still fresh in my mind, though its been a year. In this year lot of things happened, but the best one being Kishore getting married. I wish we have trips like this every year with the additional members joining every year. Well, after dropping me at work, Shivram and Vamsi visited Universal Studios. Since, I'm not with them I cant really pen anything. I'd request both Shivaram and Vamsi to be my guest blogger and put their thoughts. Lets hope for the best.
Looking forward to many more of these trips and many more long posts. Adios.
[P.S: Whoever reading this post, and knowing about Vegas would be wondering about somethings which I never mentioned. But, as you know, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Cheers]

Emotions and Intellectuals
"A person who cannot control his emotions cannot be matured enough in taking decisions, which are not supposed to be altered emotionally but can be modified intellectually, and if the intellectuals cannot win over emotions, then the person cannot be considered matured."
I personally feel that a person can never take a right decision if he acts emotionally. Decisions should be made by thought rather than feel. Emotions portray the condition or the present status of a person. These emotions can be either positive or negative depending on the situation. Both positive and negative emotions in surplus can shift a person's way of giving verdict in any given situation.
The line which separates the ordinary cult from the extra ordinary lot starts from the way they think rather than the way they feel. If the feelings determine the sensitivity levels of a person, than the thoughts portray the intellectuality levels. Intelligent people are considered to be intelligent because they make their decisions with a minimum of emotional quotient.
Emotions, differ from person to person, place to place, race to race. When there is no standard for the level of emotion how can one be considered as emotionless. A person born and brought up in USA may not feel the same kind of emotion to a situation as a person in India. Does that mean that one of them is more emotional and the other less or vice versa.
I feel a person becomes emotional when he sees something happening which he doesn't wish to happen. It can be either a positive emotion or a negative emotion. It takes the person to another level from normal state. Then his mind starts reflecting the scenario he is in rather than what he actually is.The influence of the conditions he is in and the decisions taken based on that condition reflects how emotional the person is. An intellectual person may not be completely emotionless. But maintaining a perfect balance between the brain and the heart is the first step for getting away from the emotional zone.
I remember one quote on my orkut profile page, which appeared as a daily fortune. It goes like this " Life is a comedy for those who think and tragedy for those who feel". It states that the life will be like a comedy for the people who take decisions by thinking and a tragedy for the people who takes decisions by feel.

Copy or Inspiration
Movies are considered to be the hub of creativity. The objective of the movie makers is to present the audience with their novel ideas and create a frame by frame motion of their thoughts on the celluloid. But, what if the main objective is lost and the purpose becomes only to make business by giving the best, which was already proved somewhere else. Unfortunately, this copying is happening in the name of inspiration.
Inspiration, the most common word being used by all the copy masters of the movie world. Lifting from either old hit movies or any foreign movies has been a regular habit of the movie makers. It is good to serve the regional audience with the international standards but how ethical is it to take the credit of some others work. Who is to be blamed for this? The music directors, who actually lift the songs or the directors who approve those tunes in their movies.
Before the release of a new movie, the entire crew pleads the audience not to encourage piracy. But unfortunately, they themselves are acting pirates by lifting tunes. Piracy, no doubt should be strictly monitored, but then how about being stringent on the copy issue. The copyrights act commission should be more vigilant on this issue and make sure that the audience are getting what they are entitled to. They should make sure that there is a minimum of copying and if at all copied the original creator should duly get his credit. This move can encourage the new talent to come up with novel ideas as the people who depend on others for their growth would be stripped off their luxury.
Finally, if the piracy has to be stopped why shouldn't it start at the doorstep of the cinema rather than when it is out on the streets. Directors and Music directors should move in a way forward to meet the actual objective of making a movie i.e., unleashing the creativity. We, spectators, demand a movie or music which can showcase the talent and creativity not the copying ability.
This is my second article in print.

My first article in print media
I came home after a tiring day of my work routine. Freshened up. Opened my favorite thing, my lappy, visited the regular websites I check. Gmail, Orkut, Idlebrain...whoa...I saw my name in the review section. Today, 21 June 2010, I got one of the rare surprises anyone can get. It is not a surprise per se, but I was surprised. My review on the movie "Vedam" was published in one of the telugu film websites "Idlebrain".
I've sent my review few days back to Idlebrain and I completely forgot about that. I thought it was not going to be published since the director of the movie Krish had already posted his Postmortem on the movie. But, much to my glee it was published, though along with many others. It was nice to see my writing in a public website getting approved. The whole thing behind this happiness is not about getting my review published but achieving what I wanted.
The other thing about my review is the common point I found in my review and in Krish's Postmortem. I somehow felt that the 5 characters in the movie were related to the 5 elements of nature. Then, a couple of days later Krish confirmed this thought of mine, when he posted his postmortem in the same website. The difference being the assigning of the characters. But, still that analysis of mine being proved correct made me feel ecstatic.
Usually, surprises are given by others, but, this surprise was given by no one but still it was a surprise. My roomie told me that one of his friends, who happens to know me, called him and told him about this review. Good that some one knew before I told. Well, this is my first article in press. I hope in future more will be published.
The following is the link for my review.

Vedam ~ A Journey of Emotions.
A new trend in the conventional stream of Telugu movies. A new dimension added to the very orthodox film making style in tollywood. A new ray of hope has started to lighten up in the minds of the audience who have made up their minds with what a telugu movie can give to them. The reason for all these is one movie "Vedam". An honest and sincere attempt by the director "Krish".
This movie has five stories amalgamated into one story. Five stories of five characters, where every character is a protagonist in its own way. The five characters in this movie represents the five elements of the nature.
Vivek (Manoj Manchu) - The Rock star. Aiming for "The sky". He wants to meet the highest standards but in his own way, not in the tradition followed by his family.
Saroja (Anushka) - The Prostitute. "The fire" within. She has the fire, can attract anyone and wants to lead her own life in her own way, not under the remote control of anyone.
Ramulu (Nagayya) - The poor man. He has the patience of "The earth". Still and calm. He wants to give his grandkid the education which he and his family was deprived off. In that process he bears all the "pains" with patience.
Raheem Khureshi (Manoj Bajpai) - The non terrorist Muslim branded as terrorist. As calm and as serene as "The water". But when situation arises he can erupt as a flood or even a tsunami.
Cable Raju (Allu Arjun) - The floater. His attitude is as flexible and as inconsistent as "The air". He wants to become rich in a easy way but cannot shed off his real attitude when the clock strikes.
The life style of all these five characters, how they deal with the situations they face, how they want to overcome their difficulties was dealt in a near perfect way in Vedam. Kudos to the director for handling them very well.
The performances were equally good by all the artistes. Allu Arjun, Manoj Manchu, Manoj Bajpai, Anushka and the old man Ramulu have to be commended for their impeccable performances.
The only glitches in the movie being the handling of the screenplay in some parts of the movie. This type of movie needs a perfect screenplay to bring all the characters in one line at a point of time in the story. Here, in Vedam it somehow appears that the characters Saroja and Vivek have been forced to join with the rest of the crew. But keeping in view of the time line of the movie this can be overlooked.
Nevertheless, an honest and sincere attempt which needs to be appreciated.

Rajneeti - A Political Mahabharat
Rajneeti, the movie which I was waiting since the day I watched the trailor a few months back. With a lot of expectations, boasting of a huge star cast this movie got released finally.
The plot of the movie is basically drawn from the great mythological story of "Mahabharat". Rajneeti revolves around the politics, for a change not inter party politics but intra party politics. The film showcases the power greedy politicians coming from a single family, their attempts, plots and sketches to over power their opponents to get into the big seat.
The director tried to match the different characters of the movie with the characters of Mahabharat. Though he was successful in matching up the attitudes but he fails in the execution, as every other scene seems to be easily predictable. The characters play their part well and the actors gave their full potential.
Prakash Jha, also tried to do a God Father in the movie which kind of went well with the screenplay. But, coming from the director of movies like Gangajal and Apaharan, this movie can be said as a disappointment in terms of novelty and creativity.
Ranbir Kapoor steals the show. He has the major role in the movie and for a guy with a image of lover boy, it is a commendable work. He played the role to near perfection with nice variation in his historinics in intense and romantic scenes. Nana Patekar was adequate, Ajay Devgan under utilized, Manoj Bajpai subtle, and Arjun Rampal asusual except for a very pathetically done imitation of Heath "The Joker" ledger.
Katrina did well in the limited space. Audience will be disappointed to see her for only few minutes in the most spoken Political Attire. Rest of the cast including Nasseruddin Shaw fills the space.
Overall, This movie is a political recipe made with age old spices which never lose their spice if mixed in right proportions.

A random Conversation
A Random Conversation between me and my colleague.
Colleague: Dude, Why are you working so hard. Take it easy.
Me: I don't want to get bored by doing nothing.
C: Thats one reason I recommend you to get an I-Phone.
M: I want my freedom as well. I'd rather chose work with freedom than entertainment without freedom.

A Dream or A reality check
Last night i had a weird dream and i want to save it for my entire life. I call it weird because it made me so confused and left me with a thought which can alwasy haunt me. Enough of prologue, let me get into the actual details of my dream.
It was a one fine day and I was sitting in a consulate office in USA. I had an appointment for a visa which allows me to stay in USA for the next few years. My turn comes, the Visa officer turns out to be an Indian. He finds out that my yearly salary is $1k less than required as per the rules of the immigration. He says he cant issue the visa. I was left broken hearted. Then I was escorted out by one of the subordinates of the officer. Then the conversation between me and the subordinate:
Sub Ordinate : I can help you get your Visa
Me: How?
SO: You have to pay something for that.
Me: Why?
SO: Because your salary is on a lesser side.
Me: Then how does it change if I bribe him. Why dont you guys see the hardwork I put in.
SO: To get somethings done you have to do something. Period.
Me: Ok. What i need to do?
SO: Pay me 10,000 Rupees.
Me: But why?
SO: We usually take 25,000 rupees from others. but as we know that your salary is less we are
being considerate. You should be thankful to us. You can earn this money in just one month.
Decide and let me know in 30 minutes. Im next door.
Now, i was in a fix. I know that 10,000 rupees wont be a big deal. But isnt that a compromise on my principles and moreover I was not going to stay in USA for more than 3-4 years, so whats a big deal if I leave now. Why should I compromise on my principles.
My other side was saying, its just one time and then I can earn that money back and i can stay in USA for 3-4 years without any problem and the stay can earn me much wanted experience and some financial stability.
But then , suddenly I realized..what am i thinking about. Why even I'm thinking and weighing out the pros and cons of bribing. The thought of weighing out the advantages and disadvantages itself is a biggest compromise and deceit i'm doing to myself.
Finally, I realize that this is not a conflict between me and the visa officer, to bribe him or not, but this is a conflict between me and myself, about bringing up the thought of weighing my pros and cons, and not even giving a second thought if somethings against my principles.
With all this locha in my brain...I had to wake up in the mid of the night.
Whoa...what a dream it was...or rather a reality check on myself...
Until next time..Adios

Darling - A run of the mill
Darling is out and out prabhas movie which unfortunately didnt exploit the actual talent of Prabhas. Apart from few beautiful captures of kajal, there is nothing new in the movie.
First half of the movie is completely dedicated to switzerland, portraying kajal as a music lover and prabhas as a rock star. I felt he was more of a street side lover than a rock star. There was nothing new as there were umpteen movies which came around this same theme of guy chasing the girl.
Introduction of hero was one of the worst i've ever seen before. Heroines intro was not upto the mark in the lines of karunakaran.
Second half was much of a relief and brings a fresh breeze as kajal was seen in a completely new avatar. Family sentiment, comedy was dealt with in patches. Songs just pop out of random. Action sequences were forcibly included which wasn't necessary at all.
Coming to the performances, Prabhas and kajal did well, but their roles doesnt demand much performance. Prabhas danced well. Prabhu was fine, Prabhas friends gang were kind of successful in tickling the funny bone.
Photography was excellent, screenplay was good, since the story was an age old cliche, but there was much scope for improvement.
Overall nothing creative, same old stuff. Prabhas needs to have better judgement in choosing roles. These kinda roles can never put him in the big league.

Prasthanam - A voilent political conflict
Movie is too gud...story involves the conflicts and the struggle of human emotions in situations which invlove people who are close to them.
A struggle of a father, with two contrastly thinking sons, who wants to keep his power intact and at the same time wants a clean and good image in public.
A son, who stands by his adopted father, in his good and bad times...always thinks that dharma is above everything..
Another son, who feels the grunt of the society and more of insecurity among himself..
the conflict between these 3 characters was shown tremendously. Dialogues were deep and philosophical. Performances equally gud by the old horse Sai kumar and the newbees Sharvanand and sandeep.
Technical aspects were good. Locations were fine.
The only glitch i found is the heroines role and songs..which i felt was completely unnecessary..
Overall...more than worth a watch.
