On Thursday night, for the first time ever, an engagement ceremony was telecast live in India.
It was veteran actor and politician Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan Tej and Apollo Group of Hospitals’ chairman C Pratap Reddy’s granddaughter Upasana Kamineni’s big day.
While the two shweethearts exchanged rings, the young actor’s fans and followers could enjoy the function on their television screens. Thanks to the multi-camera setup that captured the event, the online editing of the footage and the final telecast across various satellite channels in the country.

Arshad Warsi and Minissha Lamba love in front of unit members


It is a common practice that when intimate scenes between hero-heroine are shot, only the director, cinematographer and chosen technicians are present. The rest of the unit members either stay away from the shoot that day or keep away from the shooting location.

'Varam' for Nagarjuna, 'Sapam' for Chaitanya!


It is so strange how person's credibility changes with times and how a genius could seem an outright clown! We are talking about Ram Gopal Varma, who was a sensation two decades back when he made a star out of Nagarjuna with Shiva.
The very RGV is now looking to be a serious threat to Nagarjuna's twenty plus son Chaitanya's success. Bejawada, with all the nonsensical hype and overblown controversies surrounding it, couldn't even grab any curious eyeballs. The advance bookings for this film are pathetic at best.

Magical Moment @ Ram Charan's Engagement


Everyone might have expected Ram Charan's engagement to be a star-studded glittering ceremony. After all, he is the son of Megastar Chiranjeevi and he himself is a star hero. But very few of them might have guessed something miracle would happen at the venue.

Review @ The Dirty Picture


The Dirty Picture Movie Rating: 4/5
Cast: Vidya Balan, Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi, Tusshar Kapoor, 
Music: Vishal-Shekhar
Screenplay: Rajat Arora
Producer: Ekta Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor
Director: Milan Luthria 
The Dirty Picture Movie Review: Yes! It’s Dirty but entertains! Ekta Kapoor has yet again hit bulls eye with an unconventional subject that is true and debatable. The film totally belongs to its lead protagonist Vidya Balan who once again proves that there is no one like her. 

Story:
The film is a biopic on a C Grade actress of the South Indian actress Silk Smitha played by the very talented Vidya Balan. She has just one dream, to make it big in the industry and she could do anything for it. She gets whatever she wants but loses her identity of a small town girl. As Suryakant (Naseeruddin Shah) who plays a top actor of the 80’s era puts it in the film, she becomes the dark secret of the film world that cannot be acknowledged in daylight. The first half shows how she is the main reason films work and the second half shows the lows of her career. 

Analysis:

Milan Luthria is a pro at showing the intricate details of a true life story. He did it in ‘Once Upon A time in Mumbaai’ and he does it again. I haven’t closely monitored Silk Smitha’s life but from what is said about her, Milan gets it right. The film transports you to the 80’s era successfully and how films were made those days and what worked. Sex sells, yes just the packaging changes. It is shown in a more sophisticated manner these days but it’s true, how much ever we may try to defend. The point is that the woman is shown sultry loses everything, but those who are showing her in that light and those who are watching it get away. The film makes you think. 

Talking about the entertaining aspects of the film, it has it all. It has all the masala needed for a commercial potboiler and those who refrain from watching emotions will love the first half. Second half is more on the darker side and is not for people who like light comic flicks. It gives glimpses of Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Fashion’ as the latter was also about the ups and downs of a model’s career. But ‘The Dirty Picture’ hits the right nail and works big time.

Performances:

Vidya Balan, enough said!! The name is synonym to abundance of talent. The gets into the nerve of the character and forgets that she is Vidya, she is Silk in the film and makes you believe that. She has put on 12 kgs for the film and is shown bulky but manages to look good, apart from a few scenes where here tummy is focused more on. Tusshar Kapoor plays a writer who is in love with Silk. He does a decent job. Emraan Hashmi has a mystic charm to him. He entertains with his dialogue delivery and is refreshing to see him in a different role than seen before. Naseeruddin Shah is a gem. He is par-a-class. The rest of the supporting cast is aptly cast. 

Technicalities:

Direction is a total thumbs up. Background score totally apt. Music is a blend of the 80’s with Bappi Lahiri’s ‘Ooh La La’ already a chartbuster while ‘Ishq Sufiana’ is in sync with the on-going trend. Milan manages to recreate the 80’s era and it’s refreshing to see for the younger generation who haven’t witnessed the actual. Cinematography is good. Dialogue and its delivery is a major plus. All the dialogues are worth lauding.

Plus Points: Performances, Dialogues, Music
Minus Points: overdose of emotions in the second half

Final Word: 
Truly said in the film, A film works for three reasons, entertainment, entertainment and entertainment and ‘The Dirty Picture’ has loads of it.
