Nithin's ISHQ @ Completes 50 Days

Nitin and Nithya Menon’s romantic entertainer ‘Ishq’ has completed its 50 day run today. This is no mean achievement in today’s trade environment and it is even more impressive as ‘Ishq’ is not a regular ‘mass film’. The movie has won a lot of acclaim for its cool love story, good performances and brilliant cinematography. The songs scored by Anoop Rubens proved to be extremely popular too.

‘Ishq’ has been directed by Vikram Kumar and Shreshta Movies banner has produced the film. This success has given Nitin’s career a much needed boost and he is overjoyed with the film’s success at the Box Office. The success of ‘Ishq’ proves yet again that when it comes to a movie’s success at the Box Office, ‘class films’ need not necessarily fail.

Later, the unit will travel to Bangkok for a 30 days schedule to film important scenes of the film.

Censor Dhanalaxmi @ Closed Eyes On 'Racha' !!

For folks who are new, Dhanalaxmi is a half Telugu, half Tamil Censor officer for AP Censor board. She is known for her 'sharp cutting' works which give tensions to producers and directors. But, her attitude towards 'Racha' became a hot discussion now.

Dhanalaxmi is known for her iron cutting in terms of heroine's waist, navel and cleavage shots. Films like 'Buisnessman' and 'Panjaa' haven't escaped from her scissors and had blurred images all over the skin shows of female artists. Coming to 'Racha', the film was given a U/A certificate saying that all bloodshed was completely eliminated. Then, what about Tamanna's seductive skin shows? Milky beauty made most of her assets pierce the hearts of youth through her glamour on screen.

In 'Vaana Vaana' song alone Tammu babe oscillates her waist and hip, around three times in front of camera giving an ample view of her shapely back. 'How come Dhanalaxmi spared such a hot show of Tamanna in 'Racha' by closing her eyes', a big-shot producer questioned. They say, this officer doesn't like cleavage and navel show, but bare-backs are fine with her.

Hit or Flop @ Dammu Vs Gabbar Singh!!

After Ram Charan's 'Racha', these two are the big movies in list that can shake the summer Box Office of Tollywood. With days inching for their release, here is a spotlight on the two sides of 'Dammu' and 'Gabbar Singh'.
Dammu: After scoring two flops last year, Jr.NTR is coming out with an out and out mass masala movie this time. Already, songs and trailers have brought the required craze for this movie though they don't look crazy. However, Trade pundits say that a mass hero doing regular masala stuff under the direction of another mass-director will have all the chances of becoming hit or flop. With NTR all over the trailers, one cannot expect how Trisha and Karthika sizzled on the screen.
Plus Points: Jr.NTR, Boyapati Sreenu, Dialogues and Dances
Gabbar Singh: Pawan Kalyan's fans are waiting from a long time for a hit that can last decades. Songs and teasers of the movie are rocking with high octane energy of Pawan. The generally silent and soft Pawan, if delivers a punch dialogue and performs mass-steps for crazy beats, one can expect the fate of that movie easily. Other than heroine Shruti Hassan, all other technicians are highly proved ones in terms of giving commercial hits.
Plus Points: Pawan Kalyan, Devi Sri Prasad's music and punch dialogues.
One has to wait for these two movies to hit screens for knowing the actual fate of 'Dammu' and 'Gabbar Singh' anyway.

Review @ Neeku Naaku Dash Dash Movie!!

Movie : Neeku Naaku Dash Dash
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast : Prince, Nandita, Teertha and others
Directed by : Teja
Produced by : Anand Prasad
Banner : Bhavya Creations
Music : Yashwanth Nag
Release Date : 2012-04-13

Director Teja was one of the biggest brand names in Tollywood a decade ago. But a series of flop products damaged his reputation as the director and he was forced to take a break from filmmaking after disastrous Keka. He is back again with Neeku Naaku Dash Dash, which is also the same old Teja's tree in new forest! After taking a very big break Teja believed that his old formula should work again and made an attempt. Let's see how it is...
What is it about?
Shiva (Prince) and Gayathri (Nandita) are workers at a yard that makes cheap liquor. They fall in love with each other. Falling in love is completely prohibited in that business and that puts the couple in trouble. Added to that Shiva steals crores of money from the liquor mafia goons for a reason. So the chase is on and like in every Teja's film the couple runs in to the forest and what happens next is left to your imagination.
Performances: 
Prince is an okay looking guy. He did an Okay job as an actor. Nandita is good as rebellious Gayatri. She dominated the hero in every frame. She has cute looks. Teertha is fine as the baddie. Director failed to etch her character in a proper way. Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao is good. Suman Setty is usual. Venu is Okay. The bald headed villain didn't look powerful enough.
On the Technical Front:
Yashwant Nag's music is passable. "Maa orri dash gadu" song is catchy and entertaining. Background score was done by Anup Rubens and he did a pretty decent job. Rasool's cinematography is an asset. Teja himself being a cinematographer, his films always have good visuals. Editing is alright. Dialogues are not up to the mark.
As a director Teja did an average job. There were few instances where he showed few sparks from his brilliant past, but on a whole he is yet to get into form. Teja should have come up with a better story and screenplay after taking a big gap. Instead he tried to play it safe. He doesn't have that extraordinary story narrating skills anymore. Those intelligent scenes which used to arrest the audiences are completely missing.
Analysis:                                                                                   
Neeku Naaku Dash Dash is a casual film with routine script. It doesn't have the elements to make the audiences involved in the film. There are many boring moments in the film. First half is pretty mediocre. Second half is slightly better with story moving to lush green locales.
There are many ups and downs throughout the film. First half an hour and last half an hour are the biggest drawbacks. It is better in the remaining part but not good enough to impress the audience. The film is likely to leave a below average to average impression.
Teja's trademark element that made his films successful has been missing in this one. Lack of powerful villain made the climax part very weak. There are shades of Shopping Mall movie in the backdrop. Enough home work is not done and hence NNDD ended up as a half baked product.
Although made at a low budget, the film will have to struggle hard to get back the investments amidst the tough competition.
Verdict: Teja is still in 'Jayam' mode!
