Prabhas-Kajal @ Caught Red Handed???
It was stated that love kindled between them during the shooting of ‘Darling’ and eventually they used to meet at a pub at Madhapur.
Later Mr Perfect tightened the bond and both were alleged to be getting married. But that didn’t happen. There were no rumors about these two starlets as they were respectively busy in their Businessman and Rebel.
Now Businessman was over and Kajal is at present in Dubai for CCL. But before that it is being said that she spent her time with Prabhas at Bangkok for the New Year day.
They were caught red handed walking at the busy crowded place in Bangkok, says a crew member.
So, they are reunited. What’s in store has to be wait and seen.
Mahesh Babu @ No.1 For Next Decades!!
Mahesh's voice modulation, diction, dialogue delivery and the intensity in his performance will keep the audience interested in the film throughout the course of the film. He continued his success streak with Businessman, after delivering a stupendous hit in the form Dookudu.
"Businessman is doing a business we probably never heard of before. Mahesh is miles ahead of his counterparts NTR and Ram Charan now. He is the No.1 and will be the same for decades from now," said a film critic.
With Mahesh in full blown form, NTR and Ram Charan seem to have taken a backseat to their goal to become No.1. Hunting the lion is never gonna be easy!
Two bodyguards @ squeezed Telugu 'Bodyguard'!!
Now, it is heard that Venky who is heading the Tollywood team in CCL (Celebrity Cricket League) got his hand squeezed by two Bodyguards. Well, this was the duo of Dileep and Salman Khan. Apparently, they were the heroes of the Malayalam and Hindi versions respectively.
Sources say both came to Venky and wished him good luck. Already, a match took place yesterday between Tollywood and Bollywood and many said it was the contest between Telugu and Hindi 'Bodyguard'. Let us see how this hand squeezes work at the box office for Venky.
Media Talk @ About 'Business Man'!!
Deccan Chronicle, “Businessman is a typical Mahesh Babu film all the way, evoking laughs with comic one-liners and subtle expressions. However, his efforts could go in vain thanks to a contrived and highly exaggerated plot”.
Rediff, the national portal says, “Telugu film Businessman can be an ebntertaining too much if you can avoid nitpicking. After Pokiri, Puri Jagannadh and Mahesh Babu strike back with Businessman. In fact the combo roars and will do well at the box office too. If you can watch Businessman for Mahesh Babu and its entertainment value without analyzing it, it's a good Sankranthi treat, especially for Mahesh's fans!”
Times Of India says, “Businessman is not as good as Dhookudu. Nevertheless, it has all the masala to entertain the masses, especially Mahesh fans. Tight narration and punching dialogues may make this movie a rage. Unlike most of Puri’s flicks, there is no separate comedy track or no comedy stars (Dhookudu’s success was largely because of the comedy). But, Mahesh fills the gap. He proves his versatility as an actor”.
The Hindu says, “The Businessman has a mix of action, image, dialogue and montage but what makes it entertaining is that all the above quantities are inextricably bound and linked together at every level with an admirably tight script. It is a regular story but structurally, technically and content wise, the director makes no mistakes. He puts the passion of Neninthe, entertainment of Dhookudu and structure of Pokiri to churn out a story that really means business”.
So, on a whole, the media of all forms state that ‘Businessman’ is not great and at the same time not bad.

Review @ Bodyguard - Telugu Movie!!
Banner: Sri Sai Ganesh Productions
Cast: Venkatesh, Trisha, Saloni
Music: Thaman S
Producer: Bellamkonda Suresh
Direction: Gopichand Malineni
Story:
Venkatadri (Venkatesh) is a Bodyguard by profession. He comes to protect Varada Rajulu (Prakash Raj), who has danger from his enemies. Venkatadri has immense respect in Varada Rajulu as he saved him and his family in his childhood. Venkatadri comes to know that Varada Rajulu’s daughter Keerthi (Trisha) is in danger and he goes along with her to college as her Bodyguard. Keerthi doesn’t like to have him by her side as her co students are making fun of her. She tries to divert Venkatadri by calling him as an anonymous caller and soon they fall in love with each other. What happens next is to be seen on the screen.
Analysis:
If you have seen either of Bodyguard versions from other languages, you may not be surprised with the final twist. Also this film is a faithful remake of original and therefore it may not offer anything new for those who have already known the story. However, Venkatesh makes this film watchable even if you know the story of the film.
For those who didn’t see it in other languages, Bodyguard will impress with solid script. This film proves that a strong script can always impress any despite of cultural differences. Bodyguard was successful in all the languages it was made till now. Even the Telugu version is a finely packaged family entertainer with a mix of commercial elements.
First half of the film is neat with good humor. Despite being lagged for a while before the interval, it leaves a good impression on you. Second half doesn’t have scope for much comedy as the drama takes the front seat. There are few touching scenes in this hour. Climax will impress if you don’t know the story.
Performances:
Venkatesh is in his elements as Venkatadri. He did a very good job. Only problem might be his age factor. He is bit old for this character as the love story is the integral part of the movie. He is fine in comedic sequences and at his best in emotional scenes. He looked the part as tough Bodyguard in action episodes.
Trisha did a wonderful job. She is a fine actress. Saloni’s presence is felt. Prakash Raj is standard. So is Kota Srinivasa Rao. Ali provides some laughs and Venu Madhav is usual. All others did their part.
Technicalities:
Dialogues by Kona Venkat are nice. Music by Thaman is an asset. Three songs are very good. Background score is fine. Editing should have been crispier. Cinematography is neat. Production values are up to the mark.
Direction by Gopichand Malineni is flawless. He is good at making commercial films. He did a fine job in bringing out the best from the actors in emotional scenes.
Final Word:
Bodyguard will appeal to family audience and ladies. It will be definitely liked by people who haven’t seen the film in other languages. It should do well at the box office as it has the right mix of commercial elements for the festive audience.
Sexy Heroine @ blames Director for Not Using Her!!!
Even, the much-talked about film 'Kshetram' ended up as the biggest dud in her career, for its poor content and un-impressive narration. Priyamani, however, blames the director for the dismal performance of the film.
"Usually, what you envisioned after listening to a script mayn't match with the end outcome, and Kshetram is no exception. I can ask for the change of scene or a dialogue, while we are shooting. But once the shooting is wrapped up, nothing would be in my control. The director and producer will decide the end product by sitting in the editing room," said Priyamani.
The critics say, Priyamani's selection of roles and excessive skin show are the two main reasons for her present position. Time has come for Priyamani to go for a complete makeover. Better late than never!
