ఊ కొడతారా ఉలిక్కి పడతారా...UNCOVERING THE 26TH PRACTICE

The last edition of Harry Potter starts with the sentence" these are dark times......."


I never believed any black magic formats. How ever my reading habits always provided a lot of info. Particularly Yendamuri's novels like Tulasi dalam, Tulasi, Asthavakra etc.,

It is believed that there are 25 occult practices. It is also believed there are no more real sorcerers who can use these on their enemies. Ranging from chetabadi to banamati , patalla kuuti to kutti saitan the occult practices are now a part of  assumptions and stories. The reality remains uncovered so far. It is widely believed that  Kashmora is the sixteenth of the practices and mastery over this is no more. The last one ksith is very powerful and its origins are not exactly known. All the above practices are only a part of myth and fantasy. Moreover they are used profitably by cheaters to exploit the superstitious society.

All these books on occult amused and thrilled me in my degree days. But i never believed such things exist. 

How ever now i believe the sorcery and its harmful effects. Yesterday i found out a new form of occult which damages our sanity with in a time of 2hours 20 min .It simply sucks you into a new world where you will forget reason and region. It simply makes you laugh on your helplessness. It leads you to new world where you meet souls possessing other bodies at free will. You cry over the pain that emanates from the suffering of the people trying to make believe you that this kind of wold exists.You feel the hundreds years of life consumed in a period of 120 minutes. Of course you will get a small gap of ten min in middle to escape and become normal.  But If you cannot dare at that point to escape you are pulled back into the chaos. You will be forced to repent over your past
. You will beg god ..."given a chance you will not repeat any of the evil thing you have done". Souls fly besides you. A time will come when you feel your body is possessed. You are thrown out . You realize your punishment is over. You will run madly to escape the souls and witches. 

The effects slowly subside after the said time duration. You will realize  and cry over the sins you have committed. You now know how fortunate you are to survive the ordeal. Your life change forever. 

So the new form of occult requires a lot of patience  to learn and impart. Its rare and will be available in specified places for only a few days. If you want to take revenge on your dearest enemy, if you want to mend the ways of your children or any cause rush to the theatre where ఊ కొడతారా ఉలిక్కి పడతారా is played. An awesome sorcery. Better than Kashmora's and any other black magic.    Providing you the vital images that will really terrorize you

I am not uploading trailers with the fear of chaos on net


Yes these are dark times.

EEGA........A PROUD MOMENT FOR TELUGU CINEMA

" He walked straight into the man,who turned his eyes to him ; the eyes were gray and calm; the boy knew suddenly that they felt the same thing, and he could speak as he would not speak to  a stranger anywhere else.

"That isn't real, isn't it?" the boy asked, pointing down.

"Why, yes, it is now," the man answered.

"It's not a movie set or trick of some kind?"

 ":No. It's summer resort. It's just been completed. It will be opened in a few weeks. "

"Who built it?"

"I did:"

"Whats your name?"

"Howard Roark"

"Thank you," said the boy. He knew that the steady eyes looking at him understood everything these two words had to cover.  

........ Roark did not know that he had given someone the courage to face a life time.

                                                                         

                                                                                             Ayn Rand from  THE FOUNTAINHEAD

Thank you Raja Mouli,

These are the dark hours of Andhra Pradesh. Development is all time low. Leaders are much concerned with their bank balances and property accumulation. Youngsters adapted to a living style that suits malls and parties.Parents are busy accumulating funds to see to that their children sail in life without any difficulty. Morality hit an all time low. Temples busy with materialistic devotion.Hard work and determination are slowly becoming  reference words. In these dark times where nothing seemed positive and encouraging,  "EEGA"  proved what  excellence is all about.In these turbulent times "EEGA" showed what can be done with a positive set of mind. In these spend thrift times "EEGA" showed what economics  is all about. In  these dark times "EEGA" showcased how to fight against tough times and emerge victorious. "EEGA" brought back the spirit which gives us the thrust to do that thing which we stopped fearing failure.

This is one of the finest hours of Telugu cinema.Wake up. Its time to celebrate. Finally it took a fly to  crown Telugu Cinema in the realms of Indian Movie land. Before you read any of the following paragraphs, go for this magnum opus , watch it on the big screen and celebrate the vision of a director who worked tirelessly for    the past two years to entertain us. Every frame of EEGA  showcases the brilliance of Rajamouli. This is his hour. In fact this entire journey of EEGA opened new vistas in film marketing. 

Its quite unnecessary to discuss story and music of EEGA here as the innovative marketing strategy of the director revealed everything at the initiation of project itself. The entire team designed the movie in a never seen before way. The photography is awesome. In fact it is the main strength of the movie. All the ways thumbs up for the graphics team as well as the designer of the fly.The dialogues are minimum and well written .The editing of the movie helps the pace of the movie.

Being a visual drama for most of the time the music department has a lot of responsibility and Keeravani comes out with flying colours. The reincarnation loop made the crowds go  berserk in the theatres.The songs are situational and never interrupt the story. The BGM is a treat and the best in the recent movies.

All said and done its the vision of the director that makes this film a lot different from its predecessors. In fact the much hyped Robo fails to match up with technical standards of his film. In every perspective this movie is  the  first of its kind in India. The premise itself is addicting. The director never resorts to a cinematic liberty though he has a lot of scope. He framed the story within the limitations of a fly  and he worked out wonder with his Graphics team. 

He detailed the movie in a impeccable manner. The sequences which lead the fly to discover its previous birth are very effective and intelligent. The way the fly designs its schemes to torment the villain tells a lot about the hard work done behind the scenes. With in no time you root for the fly to emerge victorious in the tough battle it undertakes to avenge its murder in previous birth. The training sequences are worth a watch for every kid in this country. The heroine being a micro artist and one who understands the sign language signifies the future course between her and the fly. 

I never loved any of Rajamouli's films. Its certain scenes in  the films.....like the interval sequence in Simhadri, the  brutal atack on the kid and aftermath in Chatrapathi, The entire flashback episode in Vikramakudu, the duel between Yama and the thief in Yamadonga .....that defined his mastery over the medium. Perhaps the commercial overtones of telugu cinema made him compromise at every level. Its maryadaramana that presented us a different Rajamouli. He made wonders in that movie. But with EEGA he showed his craft. His mastery over the medium, his hard work in detailing, his respect for the technicians   and his down to earth attitude are unique in a ego driven field. All credit to the man who made my dream of  a movie which stands  on  par with Hollywood  come true.

Its of first of its kind movie in India.  Completely original and highly creative this fly makes inroads into the areas where Telugu's films never traversed. Its brings the glory to the field which never was able to show case the talents it groomed. Its a tribute to all those greats whose talent never crossed the state. For this raja mouli should be congratulated with pure happiness.

Please don't search for mistakes. There will be such in every frame. But its time to savour the dish rather than complaining about the colour of the plate.

Its a sin to watch this movie on TV. Some one gave you a chance in these Vulgar times to celebrate a pleasant two hour 30 minutes with your family. Some one offered a joy of watching an Indian designed animation of highest quality to your kids. Some one has made the telugu people feel great about their own race. Go. celebrate and smile to your heart full at the end of movie as the thief flies to dubai.

In the movie the villain opens the window and the air gushes out the tormenting fly on to the roads. The fly watches helplessly the speeding car on the way to exploit his lady love in his previous birth. All of a sudden a convoy of a leader shows up.A police inspector asks the villain to slow his car till the convoy passes. The fly watches this, turns back, finds the approaching vehicles and  flies in a planned manner to reach the top of the first vehicle of the convoy and then the chase begins. Its a treat  to watch the eega jump from the vehicle to the villains car.After a long time i watched a movie with awe and admiration alike. 

once again thank you...RAJAMOULI.

HOPING A DREAM COME TRUE

The first English movie i saw was Laughing 20's (a laurel and hardy film) at the age of six. Its my father who took me to the movie. As i grew up i noticed a fascination among our citizens for the Hollywood biggies. I can never forget the campaign that was carried for the promotion of JUNGLE BOOK. My father saw my eagerness and took me to the very first show of the movie. My English teacher Varghese sir introduced us to a lot of great movies. He used to give us synopsis first and then lead us to the movie. Ten Commandments, The Guns of Navarone, Benhur, Where Eagles Dare........were    a world we watched with awe.My  musings here are only with the genre that attracts all the age groups. I am not discussing about the movies which cater to only certain sections. We are here discussing a movie that starts as an idea, later expands into a creation and then makes our world different for a two hour period. Those two hours are the hours where we leave our daily life behind and get involved with a fantasy which we believe to be true. Remember the first time when you saw a gigantic Dinosaur  eating the leaves on the top of a 30 metre tree in JURASSIC PARK.

Its in Intermediate i realized that movies we were watching at Satyagowri and Anand theatres, Kakinada(very famous for showing English movies) were actually made in 50's and 60's.  Most of the new movies released in Holly wood were released a year later in our town. Its only through the video cassettes we got a chance to see new English movies. During my intermediate days I and srikanth watched "Honey, I shrunk the kids" On that  day i asked srikanth" why we are not making these kind of movies? An intelligent srikanth told me that the movies they make  require lot of money and technology. And since we are not having that sorts of technical enterprise we were not able to make the "AWE" films. 

What amazed me over years was their attention towards detail and the way they presented it in a short duration(1hr 30 min nearly). Watch  E.T. or Jurassic Park. You will understand how money,craft and technology make a wonderful combination. 

The greatness of these movies was they generated curiosity among all age groups alike. The movies occupied a special place in the hearts of a seven year old to a seventy year old. The movie TINTIN as well as the recent  MADAGASCAR 3 and the very new AMAZING SPIDERMAN proved that they are still the masters of such kind of cinema. 

Indian film makers have to accept the fact that they have made only a few films  that found acceptance among all age groups.Its "Chinnari Chetana" which  combined the technology and expertise to bring all the age groups to the theatre. We have a Mr India  and i don't remember at this stage .any other film ruling hearts of  all the age groups . Its really a pity that the country which makes large number of movies and renowned for exceptional cinematic expertise could not boast of a movie that entertains a child as well as a adult in the same proportions. CAN WE AT ANY POINT OF A TIME MAKE A MOVIE OF SUCH DIMENSIONS?

At this point EEGA seems to be an answer to this question. Releasing today EEGA seems to answer my prayer of an Indian movie which entertains in the lines of an E.T or a Spider-man. The trailers are definitely  brilliant and the music seems to aid the movie in reaching the millions around the world. It has a fantastic premise. A house fly on a revenge spree against a human who killed him in the previous birth is definitely new theme on the Indian cinema platform. In the trailers the special effects are brilliant. Hope the same continues in the movie too.

I never liked  any movie of the director  S.S,Rajamouli until Maryada Ramana happened. The previous movies of Rajamouli left logic in bay and traveled with entertainment quotient rather than make believe. Neither the protagonist in Sye nor the  protagonist in Magadheera made me feel and root for him. But his cinematic expertise is never in doubt. Let it be the interval sequence in Simhadri....or .....the making of an ordinary man into chatrapathi.....or the flashback episode of Vikramarkudu....or the duel with yama in yamloka in yamadonga....or the visual treat of magadheera....or .....making an unknown rugby a common sport in sye....Raja mouli showed his expertise in an excellent way. In all the above scenes the directors magical touch elevated an ordinary movie to an extraordinary level. However except these bits the directors complete potential is never on display. Perhaps the commercial compulsions made him to make the movies in such fashion.

Then MaryadaRamana happened. I remember the shot in which Sunil comes out from the deep of a bridge    on a cycle being chased by the villain . Its really awesome. I watched with admiration when sunil  held on  the pole on the top of a building trying to escape with an excellent BGM.  Except for the formulaic ending the movie is a treat from the word go. Its Rajamoulis hour. Every thing in Maryada Ramana is a celebration. The director took you on the ride, made you root for the protagonist and asked you the questions what will you do in such situations. 

And now this man comes with a two year long hard work. With a child like enthusiasm he tried to present the updates every month. For the last few weeks EEGA rewrote the advertising rules of telugu cinema. It now captures the imagination of an entire nation. An entire nation today by this time watch eega"s first show.For the first time in this writers 39 years a man stands with an universal theme made with tremendous hard work and expertise. For the first time India stands with a story that matches the supers, bats , spiders and reptiles of the western world. For the first time a movie comes with the so called well made special effects in the style we expect. For the first time in Indian History a Telugu movie comes with such hype and large scale.  

I wish Raja Mouli makes our two hours of time most precious and worth remembering a life time. Hope we will celebrate the spirit of a fly in all its glory. 

JALSA .....A STORY RE MODIFIED

Way back in 2009 i was very much occupied with the recognition process of my school. Lots of tensions and i started to become obese with mounting tensions as well as irregular eating habits. In those days a lot was discussed about Trivikram Srinivas's Jalsa(released on 2nd April 2008). Most of the disagreement with the movie was centred around  Protagonists sudden revelation that he is a Naxalite. Most of the critics blamed the twist as inappropriate as well as senseless.  Some called it absurdity to the extreme. 

Coming to the point i showcased my obesity as a result of tensions as well as restlessness.My student laughed and remarked " the reason" is as simple as Pwan kalyan being Naxalite in the film Jalsa. There was a lot of laughter and afterwards a lot was discussed about the movie. Then at the fag end of the discussion we came up with a story that supports the title as well as the protagonists back drop. Eventually we have forgotten the discussion. I try to bring what ever modification we thought of the story on that day.

Enjoy or curse our creativity levels.

The movie opens in the same manner as the director opens up. The threads with the heroine as well as the villain also remain the same. The villains entry scene where he comes out of jail should be shown as a cross over of protagonists vehicle.  

Most of the times the hero wanders round pubs and costly bars. His behaviour puzzles his friends a lot. He should be shown as craving for the company of rich and spoilt boys. Most of the time he explores ways to enjoy his life. The hero's vehicle most of the times should seem to be coming from an unknown direction every time. Every time the villain comes out of jail the hero's vehicle should be crossing his. 

 His spat with the goon at a pub  leads to the death of the goon who in turn is the son of villain.. Infuriated the villain hounds the protagonist's  friends who were recognised by the goons. The friends bear every pain and secure the identity of their friend.  Even then the hero remains happy and joyful. This attitude infuriates friends however they remain with him. 

The protagonist's meet with heroine's father and  attack on his friends happen on alternate planes. The hero rushes to the hospital and with different scenes ranging from his brothers death to entire family flashing he storms ti the area where the goons are partying. He beats them black and blue and for the first time the friends witness a blood thirsty protagonist. The hero hurls stick towards the goons and warns them with a fire which ends with words......" if you want to know more check about SAHU...THE MOST WANTED MAOIST.

Shocked to find the dreaded naxalite among them the friends slowly try to part ways with him. Meanwhile the heroine attacks the hero for hiding facts from him. The hero tries to bluff but friends force him to reveal his intentions.The heroine walks away.

Hero reveals his story to his friends. The same flashback till the naxalite element steps in. There the voice over reveals he and hero worked together. The narrator and hero identify the villain as the main spearhead of  troubles in he villages. They make his life miserable. With activities coming to a halt and followers fearing the naxalites the villain in a clever ploy reopens a case on him and shifts to the prison where he cannot be touched. He opens up new vistas and expands his empire. Despite several attempts the naxalites fail to break his new security. From jail he controls his entire operations. The top brass feels humiliated and frustrated over these developments. The protagonist blames the way they are conducting operations. He convinces if the villain gets free in this manner it will remain a black mark on them. The top brass then authorise the protagonist and the narrator to devise a plan  to kill the villain. 

As per the plan the hero and his group gets into an encounter with the cops. His duels with heroine's father follows. Pardoned he arrives in the city where the villain is staying in Jail. He joins the college and acquires a "Jalsa" image. Intentionally  he kills the villains son. He wants the villain to be out of jail. Regularly he keeps a vigil on jail. He comes across the villain on his routes. In he jail he irks the villain to come out to kill him. As per his philosophy he frightens the villain who eventually succumbs  to death

Story in this way should have added certain amounts of authenticity to the otherwise breezy script.

And if the directors intention is simply a ;love story he should have done away with the naxalite theme

My student asked" what about the heroine"

I replied::

bale undira ....naxakitelaki love story lu undava.......vaalu maatramu peliichesukora

THE GANGS OF WASSEYPUR

What can you say about a celluloid poetry. i dont want to write any review at this point of time.

 As i always believed the purest of human emotion is revenge. Revenge has no language. Revenge is a attitude undefined.Its revenge that motivates human beings to the extreme decisions. Revenge defines a mans courage amidst impossibility.

such revenge saga with a blend of unapologetic humour and impeccable detail is carved by Anurag Kashyap. watch it for a pure cinematic joy. 

i will write the review after a complete view of the 6hr movie.

IN the mean while buy a audio cd of gangs of wasseypur and listen to its music. You will remember your childhood,   your first love,  your first betrayal, your first post marital attraction and your anger on  some one who left you in the middle of a whirlpool. the following are the links of the songs of GOW.
