Bujjigadu

There are a number of rumours doing the rounds in Tollywood about the story of the film. Some rumours even say the writer Madhubabu (detective Shadow fame) has provided the story for the film. But Madhubabu denied that he has provided the story for the film.

Prabhas has been struggling hard to lay his hands on the elusive big hit for a long time now. He pairs up with the sexy and in form Trisha in the film. Incidentally, this is his third film with Trisha. Their previous films were 'Varsham' and 'Pournami'.

Prabhas plays the role of a hardcore fan of superstar Rajnikanth in the film. There are many scenes that show Prabhas expressing his love and admiration for his idol. Prabhas also speaks with a Tami accent and there are also several Tamil words in the film. It is only natural as the hero is shown as being brought up in the city.

Mohan Babu is one of the finest actors in Tollywood. It is with this in mind that director Puri Jagannath requested him to take up the role in the film. When Puri went to narrate the story to Mohan Babu, asked Puri to sum up his role in one just word. Puri told him that he was a 'rascal' in the film. This was sufficient for Mohan Babu and he readily agreed to star in the film. He is playing the role of Trisha's sister.

The name of Trisha's character in the movie is 'Chitti'. The interaction between Mohan Babu and hero Prabhas and his dialogues are the highlight of the film. Mohan Babu's excessive possessiveness of his sister, Trisha, and the related scenes have also come off very well.

Prabhas is playing an out and out mass hero in the film. His body language, dialogues and action are aimed at establishing him firmly as a popular mass hero. The film has already earned a very positive talk and it is likely to become a big hit.

Superstar Rajnikanth unveiled the audio of Bujjigau at the Andhra Club in Chennai recently. Puri has given several hits in recent times. His last two films, 'Desamuduru' with Allu Arjun and 'Chirutha' with Ram Charan were big hits. He hopes to score yet another big hit with Bujjigadu.

Sanjana, Sunil, Ali, MS Narayana, Jayaprakash Reddy, Sudha, Hema, Ajay, Subbaraju and others are among the star cast.

By all indications, Bujjigadu is a hilarious family entertainer with action, romance, fights and dance in equal measure. Get set to watch Bujjigadu on May 23.

Parugu

Variety is the spice of the season and a new location always helps bringing freshness to the film. The unit of Allu Arjun’s latest film Parugu will be going to the Arabic country ‘Kingdom of Jordan’ to shoot a song from 15 March. Dil Raju and Bhaskar team up again to make ‘Parugu’ with Allu Arjun as hero. Shooting of this film is complete except for two songs. There will be three fights and six songs in the film. Sheila is doing female lead. Prakash Raj play an important role. Mani Sharma composes music for the first time to an Allu Arjun film.

Stylish Star Allu Arjun (AA) always gives something special to his fans in the midst of his shootings. Coming just one week after the release of Jalsa, the release of this audio is also meant to capture the Jalsa musical euphoria and sail along with it. All of Allu Arjun’s previous five films boast of great music, energetic dances, and most importantly memorable tunes. This is the first time AA teams up with Manisharma, the man behind Chiranjeevi many hits in the last 10 years. When Mani and Pawan Kalyan met the first time it was Khushi and the question is how is it when AA and Mani have met for the first time?–read on. Paragulu, written by Sirivennela, a solo hero number rendered effectively by Ranjith, is a high-energy song rich with techo beats. To soothe your nerves from the high energy of the previous number comes a soft love melody, Nammavemo, sung sweetly by Saketh. Right on the back of this melody comes another love melody, Hrudayam sung by Hemachandra and written by Sirivennela, that is soaked in melancholic humming and music. Yelageylaga, sung by Saindhavi and Kailash Kher and written by Anantha Sriram, is an attempt to be mass song, but it misses the beat and tune. Ranjith is back again to sing for Chandrabose’s pen in Chal Chal Challo…another active number, but nothing more to remember. Manakanna Podiche, sung by Rahul Nambiar and written by Anantha Sriram. is another solo hero song wants to be energetic, but again thats about it with nothing special to offer. Analysis: Manisharma has mastered Sound, with a capital M and S and so even though the tunes are not memorable the songs are good to listen to; thats about it. Every song has a music bit that is really communicative, beats are good, and sound is great, but alas what matters the most–the tunes–cannot be remembered after hearing the album. However, the songs carry a particular mood with them and I have a feeling they will gel well with the songs on screen. Of course, Allu Arjun will make sure that the beats and his steps are noticed. It’s going to be a great birthday gift for Allu Arjun if the forthcoming film ‘Parugu’s, music is going to be a superhit. Sheela is the heroine of this movie which is going to be released this summer. April 8 is the audio release date of this film and Allu’s birthday also is on the same day. And if the film becomes a megahit, then it will be the sweet icing on the cake for Allu Arjun. Bhaskar wanted to prove that he is not wrong in both the movies. One can find the complete reverse side of Bommariilu movie. I agree that Parugu is a complete different story but it lags the effective on-screen discription ie screenplay. The movie dragged a lot in both first half as well as the second half. Note: After seeing Parugu movie, one can easily relate it to the recent mis-hap which shook entire Chiranjeevi family. This obvious relation will be because it has Allu Arjun in it who comes from the same family. Seeing this movie, one will surely feel the pain and agony what Chiranjeevi felt when his daughter went away. The audience will surely sympathasize Chiranjeevi after watching Parugu movie. (is this one kind of political entry stunt by Chiranjeevi ???? Who Knows….)

Jalsa Stills

Trivikram Srinivas, who has the films Nuvve Nuvve and Athadu and a list of other blockbusters to his credit has turned up with yet another exciting movie for this summer, Jalsa. The story of the movie is also written by Trivikram Srinivas. Allu Arvind produces this film on Geetha Arts banner. The movie has an excellent casting consisting of Pawan Kalyan, Ileana, Parvati Melton, Kamalini Mukherjee, Prakash Raj and significant others.



Pawan Kalyan impresses his audience with his hilarious comedy and his stunning performance. His casual dressing style and body language match the moods of the film and he breathes life and credibility to his character as a college student. Ileana’s character is quite modest and she is portrayed as a girl next-door. However, she looks glamorous in the song sequences. The romantic scenes involving Pawan Kalyan and Ileana look real and their onscreen chemistry is unmatched. Kamalini Mukherjee and Parvati Melton have little to perform. Prakash Raj, Ali, Sunil and others have performed well in their respective roles.



Coming to the story of Jalsa, Sanjay Sahu played by Pawan Kalyan is the son of a farmer. After the loss of his brother, who dies of heart disease and his parents, who commit suicide after a crop loss, he joins the Naxalites and starts retaliating against the society. After a fierce encounter, Sanjay surrenders to police and continues his education.



At college, he meets Indu (Kamalini Mukherjee) who is the daughter of a police officer (Prakash Raj) and falls in love with her. He fails to convince the police officer and Indu gets married to an NRI. Here, Jyotsna (Parvati Melton) and Bhagmati (Ileana) enter into the scene. Both the girls try to win his love, but Bhagmati finally succeeds. Her father does not give his consent as he knows well that Sanjay is a Naxalite turned into a student.



At this point, Damodar Reddy (Mukhesh Rushi) comes into the picture to take vengeance on Sanjay for thrashing his second son. Damodar Reddy puts a spot to Bhagmati and fixes her marriage with his second son. Was Sanjay able to express his love to Bhagmati and did he succeed in winning her father’s consent, does he put a stop to Damodar Reddy, the answers to all this form the climax of the film.



The film has one of the best action scenes choreographed by Vijay that makes it a true Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram Srinivas film. Camera work by Guhan and Rasool is first-class.



On the whole, Jalsa has all the necessary ingredients in it to become a good hit. The film goes well with class and mass audience too. Also, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jalsa is a gift to the viewers for this summer. So, if you are looking out for a film which entertains then this is the one!



What others say:



Kurupati Raju a member of Sulekha.com says, “The film has nearly seven fights and one amazing scene involving a knife fight, which is a big hit. Jalsa is a must-see movie for the summer vacation”



Indiaglitz says, “The film is a mixture of comedy, emotions and much more. One can watch 'Jalsa' and have your money's worth if you are the type that enjoys films with out the element of logic. It sure is your money's worth!
