Parugu - Review 2008-05-04 02:01:00 This is the second film for director Bhaskar, who earlier delivered critically acclaimed and commercially superduper film Bommarillu. It is tough to say if Bhaskar did overcome the second film sentiment (this is prevelant in the industry that, usually, the second film of a director would not do well). The storyline is thin and the screenplay of the film seems stretched. The film revolves around a father looking for eloped daughter and it feels that there is too much of search. And finally, audience (especially Chiru fans) might correlate some (or alot) of the scenes with Chiru's second daughter Srija's episode. Chances are that the film might get along well for the lady and family audience.Going into the story, Parugu is about a father and his two daugthers. Neelakantam (Prakashraj) has t
Kamal Hassan's 'Dashaavataram' 2008-05-05 21:24:00 My ten different roles are the USP of 'Dashaavataram' . But I must thank my make up artist, Micheal Wesmore for it. He was the man who has helped me. He is my guru and mentor. He doesn't like being called that but I could not go ahead with the script if he had not agreed. I used to spend five hours only in makeup. What was interesting is that I have started respecting women more after that I know Dasavtharam is going to be a hit. I can't say how big. I know I sound pompous by saying that, but we have got a 'U' certificate for the film, which will be enjoyed by all age groups. We are planning a worldwide release with around 1,000 prints. I feel film promotion has become extremely important and I don’t think it’s new. That has always been the trend. The loudest seller in a bazaar attrac Read more:Kamal

Parugu carry home quotient is 5/5 2008-05-05 21:22:00 The following is a pressnote released by KAD EntertainmentsMovies are of 5 categories.There are some movies that you read about or hear about but can't care to remember. There are others that sustain your interest until they reach the cinemas and then go kaput. The third varieties are the ones that manage to drag you to the theatres only to disappoint and make you scream and swear in anger. There are still others that you will have a blast watching, but don't retain much of it when you leave the cinema. The fifth variety are the ones that you relish at the cinemas, but also carry home the moments, ideas and cherish later at home. This kind of cinema is not about the stars, not about the actors or their role play. It is about the characters, the situations, their compulsions, their joys, th

Namboodripad's grandson in Telugu film 2008-05-05 21:20:00 "Hitler – The Indian Connection" is the title of a Telugu
film, which deals with the link between the politics and film industry in Andhra Pradesh. Produced by B. Srinivasa Reddy and directed by Revanth Po Reddy, the film stars debutants EMS Sujith Shankar (grandson of former Kerala chief minister EMS Namboodripad), Anis Khan and lead character artiste Surya.

Chakraborty would be seen in a different role this May.
