Telangana Elections Result: Overconfident DS Jolted by AP election results 2010

Posted: 30 Jul 2010 01:57 AM PDT

D SrinivasThe AP election results 2010 were bound to be newsworthy. Moreover the predictability quotient of the Telangana by-elections for 12 assembly seats was sufficiently jolted by the unexpected poor show by the Pradesh Congress Committee president D Srinivas, who will have to do some serious thinking.

Not only has he lost his Nizamabad(urban) seat with a huge margin of 12,600 votes in these Telangana elections, he also stands to lose ground in the eyes of the high command.

With a clear no say whatsoever in claiming the chief ministerial post in case the dream of formation of new state of Telangana ever materializes,he is bound to be shown the door.

The defeat was also shameful for him because of the fact that the 6% rise in voting in the AP elections 2010 has only added to the margin of him getting battered by the BJP candidate Y Lakshminarayana.

Once Upon a Time in Mumbai

Once Upon a Time in Mumbai

Milan Luthria's Once Upon A Time In Mumbai has something special to offer the audience with its 1970's smoky atmosphere and feel.

Even Amitabh Bachchan has many guest appearances in the movie along with Ajay Devgn who has his role knitted along the character of 1978 undercover thriller movie DON staring Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role and directed by Chandra Barot.

Well this merger was not easy to get through and this took the film a lot of time to reach censors. Even the back ground music of the film gets the most from DON in its texture and quality. Sandeep Shirodkar who is new comer on the block composed the background music.

Director Milan Luthria said, "I wanted the entire smoky atmosphere, the mood of intrigue suspense tension and romance of the 1970s to come out of the music. My reference point was the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Don."

The time taken for this perfect composition was all together very lengthy and for this reason the film hit censors a lot later than expected by the director. But the Milan is very happy with the outcome of his movie especially when his mentor Mahesh Bhatt praised him for his efforts done on the movie.

There were also controversies surrounding the flick regarding the resemblance of the character with ex Mumbai gangster Haji Mastan. But both the producer and film director called in a press release to clear the issue that the film is a work of fiction and nothing more than that.

Film Review: Charlie St. Cloud, Starring Zac Efron

Posted: 29 Jul 2010 11:55 AM PDT

Charlie St. CloudCharlie, played by Zac Efron in Burr Steers latest, Charlie St. Cloud , is the protagonist in this story. As youngster, Charlie plays a sailor.

He faces the most difficult time of his life where in an auto accident, surprisingly he is saved but his younger brother, Sam gets killed.

Since that time onwards, Sam haunts him. Or say he haunts the ghost of Sam in the graveyard. Charlie now sees people who are not present in the real world and have already died.

He is seen playing catch with Sam for the next five years near the cemetery. Another schoolfriend of his was killed long back.

The friend too is visible for Charlie.Charlie later, in the movie, takes up the job of the caretaker of the cemetery, after refusing the scholarship for university.

Zac would also be seen falling for a girl who comes to the cemetery to visit her father’s grave.

The above story obviously sounds very stupid and is as much as you would expect out of it. There is barely a scene which would make sense.

Burr’s romance has blatantly failed at the box office.

An insider from the Bollywood industry tells “Of late there has been some buzz surrounding how Vivek too has come close to biting the television bug. Earlier there were talks about being approached to participate in the new season of ‘Swayamvar’ after Rakhi Sawant and Rahul Mahajan.

Now there is a buzz in the air that he could well be hosting the new season of ‘Big Boss’ too as well”,Though Vivek denies any such rumors of hosting any entertainment show on television.

“What? Vivek is hosting ‘Big Boss’? Now that’s some news because Vivek is definitely not doing the show. Yes, there have been some murmurs around him hosting the show but none of that is true.” says Vivek’s friend on being asked about the sanctity of the rumor.

“Well, one can’t be too sure”, says the source in a careful tone, “However, it can be stated with confidence that Vivek is not even remotely contemplating getting into television. He has things to look forward to in the world of movies.

There is Rakta Charitra getting ready for release. Also, there is a film happening with Mani Ratnam. He would like to totally concentrate on that rather than getting his attention diverted to other mediums.”
