Bhale Dongalu - Review 2008-04-14 04:49:00 When a movie deals with thieves, it requires a lot of entertainment. Bhale Dongalu, starring top heroine Ileana and Tarun, who keeps a low profile since several years, offers average show. Though director Vijaya Bhaskar credited himself as the storywriter, there is no iota of originality anywhere in the film. Better, the film may be called a copycat of Bunty Aur Bubly. There is no justification in Vijayabhaskar's words that the story was the product of his brain.Ramu (Tarun) leaves his home in a huff as he is averse to the suggestion of his dad to take up a job. Jyothi (Ileana) too does the same as she dislikes the marriage proposal of her parents. Both board the same compartment of a running train. By the dawn, the baggage of both is lost. They go to Vizag. Jyothi wants to tak

Corporation Limited known as ABCL suffered huge losses, they went into oblivion and were revived as AB Corp, but nothing much came out of that too.

Tanushree plays safe 2008-05-04 02:26:00 Tanushree Dutta seems to be having problems with all her producers of late but there is one who is fond of her — Sahil Khan.

"First I fight Sahil and then I fight the villain and then if they make me fight Khali too, I wonder whether I will be alive at the end of it all."
A pretentious, cliched movie 2008-05-04 02:24:00 Pranali: The Tradition Cast: Nargis, Sudha Chandran, Raman Trikha, Upendra LimayeDirector: Hridesh KambleRating: * Pranali: The Tradition claims to be "a never ending journey of a devdasi," but if the viewers stray into the theatres expecting a sensitive Ahista Ahista kind of movie
, they will be shocked to see a C-grade film. Had the makers been honest about its intention, the movie at least would have had a less pretentious title. The devdasi bit is dispensed quickly, with a lascivious looking priest, keeping a poor girl in the temple to ‘serve’ him. He passes her on to a minister in return for land and Pranali (Nargis) ends up in the red light district. The film then piles on the clichés — the madam, the helpful cabbie, girls giggling and exchanging notes about their ‘exploits
Amy urged to check into rehab again 2008-05-04 02:24:00 Amy Winehouse is reportedly being urged to check into a US rehab facility. The troubled singer, who was recently cautioned for common assault after a night of wild partying, has been advised by friends and her management to seek help at Arizona’s Meadows centre. A source said, “Amy is stubborn but her people, as well as her friends, are keen to get her on the mend. She has already tried rehab in the UK, but the problem is that when she comes out it’s hard to protect her. Arizona is far away enough for her to get her head together and really focus on her career. She has been working on her album, which is brilliant, but it wouldn’t take much for her to get distracted by bad influences.” This wouldn’t be the first time Amy has entered rehab. Last August, she checked into Bri Read more:rehab again
A weak, watered down adaptation 2008-05-04 02:23:00 AnamikaCast: Dino Morea, Minissha Lamba, Koena MitraDirector:Ananth Narayan MahadevanRating: ** Daphne du Maurier’s dark romance, Rebecca, combining Mills & Boon romance with mystery and suspense, was turned into a classic film by Hitchcock and also remade in Hindi as Kohraa by Biren Nag (with a fabulous Hemant Kumar score). So Ananth Narayan Mahadevan, trying to do an updated version of the story, had great expectations to live up to. He matches the brooding Manderlay of the original with the magnificent Gajner Palace of Bikaner, and that where the inspiration ends. His Anamika is so weak and watered down, that it obviously suffers badly in comparison — you want to be moved and frightened by the young nameless heroine’s plight, but a botched narrative and Minissha Lamba’s Read more:adaptation
