Arya 2 Movie Review
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast : Allu Arjun, Kajal, Navadeep, Sraddha Arya, Ajay, Brahmanandam, and others
Directed by : Sukumar
Produced by : Aditya Babu & Boghav
Banner : Aditya Arts
Music : Devi Sri Prasad
Release Date : 2009-11-27
The much-awaited film Arya 2 starring Allu Arjun in the lead is a visual treat to watch, but few flaws in its narration makes it an average entertainer.
Story:
Arya(Allu Arjun) and Ajay(Navadeep) are childhood friend and both of them leads the life of an orphan. On one fateful day a rich couple adopts Ajay. Ajay grows as a rich guy and later he starts a software company. Arya joins his company as an employee. Geetha(Kajal) is the new employee of the company. Both Arya and Ajay falls in love with Geetha. Whom does Geetha choose as her lover forms the rest of the story.
Performances:
Allu Arjun: He is an apt choice to the role of Arya. He has done complete justice to his role. He sports a new look for this film. His costumes are trendy. He excels in dances. His dance movements in the film are definitely one of the best in his career. It's a treat to watch him in songs.
Kajal: She looks beautiful. She plays the role of a confused girl about love in a convinsing way.
Navadeep comes up with a neat performance. Shraddha Das adds to the glamour quotient of the film. Brahmanandam comedy track is hilarious. Mukesh Rushi, Shayaji Shinde and Ajay are Okay.
Plus Points:
Allu Arjun's screen presence
Cinematograhy
Songs
Minus Points:
Allu Arjun's characterization
Narration
Run Time
Technical Departments:
Cinematography is of top notch. Editing could have been better. Music is excellent. The picturization and placement of songs is brilliant. Direction by Sukumar is good. Production values of the film are grand. Dialogues are good.
Analysis: Allu Arjun's characterization is a big setback to Arya 2. Sometimes he acts as a psycho and sometimes as a obsessive lover, which leaves the audience in a confused state. First half of the film is Okay. Second half is better, when compared to first half.
Verdict: Fails to live-up to the expectations. But, it's definitely worth watching once for its stylish making.
Releasing Today: Allu Arjun's 'Arya-2'
The film is directed by Sukumar while Aditya Babu is the producer. Already, the audio has become a chartbuster and the song ‘Ringa Ringa…’ has been creating a mania. The tunes composed by Devisri Prasad have worked really well for the movie and the expectations are high on this one.
Though the film is titled ‘Arya 2’ it is not a sequel to the original blockbuster ‘Arya’. Many in the Tollywood fraternity are hoping that this should bring some smiles to the film fraternity as many promising movies have failed. Good luck to Allu Arjun and team!!!
MJ’s sex abuse victim clears his name
Jordan Chandler was 13 when his father Evan claimed that Jackson had molested his son.
Jackson was given a clean chit in the court and settled the dispute with the Chandler family and its legal team with a payoff worth 22 million dollars.
Jordan, now 29, was said to have spoken about the case since Jackson’’s death, confessing the superstar never molested him, it was claimed.
Jermaine further believed that Jordan’’s dad Evan committed suicide earlier this month over his guilt of falsely accusing the Thriller hitmaker.
"From the ’'93 case, they were accusing him (Jackson) of just the most horrible things,” Contactmusic quoted Jermaine as saying.
“This kid’’s father has committed suicide because he just couldn’'t take it and now the kid has come forward and said Michael never touched him," he added.
The body of 56-year-old Evan Chandler was found with a single gunshot to his head with the gun still in his hand. Officials ruled his death a suicide.(ANI)
Shah Rukh is funny: Amitabh
"Shah Rukh has remained with me in the late afternoon. He is a very funny man and shakes me into joviality when I inform him about the premiere and his absolute presence there. He tells me, ’He is already there, black suited and with anticipation of seeing ’Paa’," Amitabh posted on his blog. "Aamir too communicates today and confirms his presence," he added.
The cast and crew of "Paa" - including Amitabh, Abhishek and director R. Balakrishnan have major plans for the film’s premiere Dec 3 in Mumbai. Amitabh plays a 12-year-old progeria patient in "Paa" and he had to stick on several pieces of specially crafted clay to get the right look for the movie. The disease causes premature ageing among children.
International make-up artist Stephan Dupuis designed Big B’s look and the megastar had to sit for five-six hours for the make-up. The 67-year-old says he is now anxious about how the audience and critics will react to the film. "Slowly but surely the jig saw puzzle will begin to unfold. The test of all our hours and hours of effort at the film shall now be up for scrutiny. And within two hours and 14 minutes the verdict shall be passed. Once passed, shall remain passed. Such is the destiny of those that participate in this wondrous game of filmmaking," he said. The film is releasing Dec 4.(TNN)

‘Nagarjuna-Tabu’ Love Story As Film
Currently, the script work is said to be on in one of the offices in Krishna nagar and two writers are working full time to give a shape to it. Though time and again, Nag and Tabu have maintained that they are friends, the writers are keen on giving a romantic touch to their story indicating the two stars.
This has raised concerns among a few in the film circuit as to how this might reflect on the screen. On the other hand, efforts are said to be on to stop this script from being entertained. Well, nothing can be announced till an official confirmation is received on this one.
The story is all about how the actress-wife of a hero accepts his relation with another actress and what maturity levels or understanding it requires!!

Adurs audio in December first week
If you are a die-hard NTR fan, you would benefit to note that this one is not an action-based film, but a comedy-significant one. Brahmanandam, whose Paris Prasad act of Namo Venkatesha is eagerly awaited, will make you laugh to no end in Adurs much earlier (the film releases in the third week) and share screenspace with the Nandamuri star.
This is the reason why the producer Vallabaneni Vamsimohan says that the film will make audience laugh out loud. Mahesh Manjrekar, Sayaji Shinde, Asish Vidhyarthi, Mukhul Dev and Tanikella Bharani are some of the powerful character artistes who will be seen in the film.
Dialogue - Kona Venkat, Lyrics - Chandrabose, Kulasekhar, Ramajogayya Shastri, Cinematography - Chota K. Naidu.
Rajendra Prasad, Shivaji to act together
There is a market for comedy films and this is the reason why we see Rajendra Prasad, Allari Naresh and others doing comedy flicks by dime a dozen. Quirkier are their titles. So, the new RP-Shivaji film is titled Brahmalokam To Yamalokam Via Bhoolokam. Gollapati Nageswararao is directing the film.
A socio-fantasy film, it is not known if either of the actors is playing a mythological character. But it will be fun to watch them together.
Prabhu Deva to remake Gilli with Abhishek
As Wanted is being increasingly termed as Salman Khan's Ghajini and a film that has revived interest in action flicks in Hindi film industry, many producers are keen on signing Prabhu Deva. It is said that B-towns big producers Sajid Nadiadwala and Boney Kapoor were keen to rope him in. But, finally AB Corp, the Bachchans company managed to flatter him with their offer.
Sources close to the director said that Prabhu Deva narrated Gillis script to Abhishek almost twenty days back and the actor loved it at once and immediately agreed to do it. As of now, Prabhu Deva is reworking on the script to suit the Hindi Junta and is expected to go on floors around June 2010.
On the other hand, Prabhu Deva is in US looking for a heroine. Yup! As we had it before Prabhu Deva will be finishing a Tamil film with Jayam Ravi before starting his Bollywood venture.

It is heard that Charan told Kajal that she looks sexy when she is serious and added that she must not giggle so much whenever she is at public events or social dos. He is believed to have told her that by maintaining that seriously seductive look, she will win more admirers.

They say that sex appeal is written all over her even when she smiles so there is no reason for her to get serious. Well, only time will tell whether Kajal has heeded to Charan’s friendly-warning or not.

Aamir goes to college
In 2008, he set up shop in Bengali Market, unpacked his own razor, and turned barber for a day to give Ghajini haircuts to Dilliwallahs. And now, before the release of 3 Idiots, a movie about three post-grads that’s based on Chetan Bhagat’s book Five Point Someone, Aamir and the cast of the film are coming to Sri Ram College of Commerce in DU today.
Sharman Joshi and R Madhavan are accompanying him, and they’re going to be interacting with college students. Plus, says Aamir’s representative, the idea is to let mediapersons preview a song that’s going to be released in theatrical trailers this week – a college anthem called Sunshine.
Aamir and Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the producer of the film, wanted to hold the preview in DU because they’re both “very attached to the univ,” according to the rep. “Aamir shot for RDB here, so he’s got a special attachment to DU, and Vidhu was once a student here and stayed at Jubilee Hall,” said the rep. SRCC principal PC Jain confirmed that the film’s team had the college authorities’ permission for the visit.(TNN)

Salman Khan promotes Veer online
Everyone wants to know what is Salman’s dream project? And I am very excited about the release of Veer on 22nd Jan 2010. I have lived with Veer for 20 years and want you guys to live the movie with me through this blog.
Veer can be called my most awaited film till date. I had written the story of my dream project when I was shooting for the film Baaghi in 1990.
As a child, I saw the film Taras Bulba that beautifully showed a father-son sharing an extraordinary relationship. Being inspired from this, I always wanted to write a script revolving around this bond. I had the whole thing 20 years back and wanted to direct a film on this subject… Had dreamt of becoming a director but as fate would have it, ended up becoming an actor….
Veer is the biggest Bollywood film ever to be made and a movie like this is going to be written, directed and produced once in a lifetime…(Buzz18)

Hrithik, Suzanne and Barbara sport the same tattoo
Two's company, three's a crowd goes a popular saying. But when it comes to Hrithik-Suzanne and Barbara Mori, it seems to be the other way round. The trio seems to have become three musketeers as all three have a similar tattoo on their forearm!
Just few days back Hrithik Roshan and his wife Suzanne rubbished their split rumours by showing off a similar tattoo on their forearm. The couple got a tattoo of the six pointed star of David on their forearms. The tattoo is apparently a symbol of Judaism.
Unexpectedly, exactly similar tattoo has been spotted on Barbara Mori's forearm.
We also got in tough with a Mumbai based tattoo artist who did the tattoo for Hrithik-Suzanne. He said, "I have not done Barbara's tattoo. When Hrithik-Suzanne came to me to get their tattoo done, Barbara accompanied them but she didn't get it done from me. She might have gotten it engraved later from abroad. Her's might be a temporary one."
Ironically news of Suzanne not getting along with Barbara due to her alleged affair with Hrithik has been doing the rounds since a long time. Some say that Barbara Mori has the tattoo done only to express her love for Hrithik Roshan.
Barbara Mori has been paired opposite Hrithik Roshan in his much-awaited film Kites. Barbara Mori had done some steamy hot scenes with Hrithik Roshan in the film.

Ileana temple in Tamilnadu
Some people have formed a fan club for Ileana in Tamilnadu. Ileana has acted in just one Tamil film Kedi. Kedi proved to be a disaster at the box office. But, after seing her on big screens some people tempted to built a temple in her name.
Ileana's busy schedule in Tollywood has forced her not to take up the best offers in Tamil like the Rajinikanth starrer Sultan: The Warrior and Vijay's Pokiri. Ileana recently accepted a role opposite Vikram. Tamil audiences were hoping that Ileana does more film in future.

On the occasion of Chaitanya's birthday on the 23rd of November, the producers released some stills to the media. It is a prestigious project not only for Manjula, who is producing a film after Pokiri, but also for the young star who needs to live up to the expectations of the audience.
