Chiranjeevi right in fighting for a United Andhra?

A week after the Centre's decision to initiate the process for the formation of the Telangana State, actor-turned politician and Chief of the Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) Chiranjeevi has resigned in support of a "United Andhra". PRP has a total of 18 MLAs of which the majority is from the non-Telangana regions.

Chiranjeevi who made the announcement in favour of a united Andhra Pradesh was threatened with a split within the PRP. On Wednesday, Chiranjeevi had announced that he would observe a hunger fast for a "united Andhra" at Tirupati beginning from Thursday morning. But his decision was withdrawn on account of the warning issued by the pro-Telangana supporters that no movies featuring Chiranjeevi and his family would be screened in Telangana region, a prominent area for film distributors.

On Wednesday, Chiranjeevi had met and consulted his party MLAs over the concerned matter. Sixteen PRP MLAs belonging to the coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions had tendered their resignations last week in support of a united Andhra. The students of Osmania University and Kakatiya University had also stated on Wednesday that they would boycott the movies featuring Chiranjeevi and his family, if his party talks of a united Andhra Pradesh.

Chiranjeevi had fought the Lok Sabha elections this year on a promise of separate statehood for people belonging to the Telangana region
The Centre's go ahead to initiate the process for the formation of the Telangana State has stirred up a hornet's nest. After Telangana Rashtra Samiti's chief K Chandrashekhar Rao's hunger strike for creation of Telanaga, actor-turned politician Chiranjeevi sat on fast against the move to create Telangana.

Chiranjeevi, the chief of Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) began his fast on Wednesday at Tirupati to press for a "United Andhra" and express his commonality with all those protesting against Statehood to Telangana. The declaration was made after Chiranjeevi, consulted his party MLAs over the concerned matter on Wednesday morning.
Meanwhile, the students of Osmania University and Kakatiya University have declared that they would boycott the movies featuring Chiranjeevi and his family, if his party talks of a united Andhra Pradesh. Chiranjeevi had fought the Lok Sabha elections this year on a promise of separate statehood for people belonging to the Telangana region.

The films of veteran actor-producers Mohan Babu and N. Harikrishna and their family members are also being targeted after they joined the "United Andhra" movement. With almost all the top film personalities coming from coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions, the Telugu film industry, the second biggest after Bollywood, is facing the threat of a total boycott in Telangana.

Vettaikaran Movie Review

What could be your expectation levels, when you’ve decided to watch Vijay’s film? An outmost entertainer that can be sparred even with realms of illogical aspects… Definitely, most of his previous films have lacked logics and yet engrossed the audiences with a racy screenplay and amusing ingredients.

But regrettably, some of his recent films overdosed with heroisms failed to reach the degree of our expectations.

Let’s put it this way…. ‘Vettaikaran’ is rigorously for the most ardent worshippers of Vijay, who’re ready to accept if he crushes down a rock with simply with his fists. Naturally, Vijay goes praiseworthy for his ability to evoke laughter sans any accompaniments of comedy actors. This time, he attempts for a different style of dance, which doesn’t involve his hyper-active gymnastic acts.

Debutant Babu Sivan seems to have crafted this story with strictish factors suitable for Vijay alone. His screenplay reminds us more off Vijay’s previous films and there’s nothing to praise about this craftsmanship’s work.

Ravi (Vijay) isn’t actually a devil-may-care youngster as his father (Delhi Ganesh) perceives him to be so. He’s a lofty aspirant of becoming a cop just like Devaraj IPS, who is talk of the town for reducing the crime rates by bumping off gangsters. Both Ravi and Devaraj share similarities, especially about failing 3 consecutive times in +2 exams. Finally, Ravi passes out on the 4th attempt and heads to Chennai for graduation course so that he can be qualified for police job. He hires an auto from his classmate’s father and drives it for his livelihood.

Well, he experiences a celestial joy as he falls in love at first sight with Susheela (Anushka), a college student.

When Ravi feels like paradise is almost nearing his life, situations urge him to face some of the worst goons Chella and his father Vedanayagam (Salim Ghosh), who’ve been ruling the city of Chennai.

What happens next is series of events making situations speculative for Ravi, the goons and so-called Devaraj IPS, who’s missing in town now.

As mentioned earlier, Vijay looks pleasant over the vistas of presenting comedic sequences and dances as well. To a certain extent his stunts are quite appreciable, but when it exceeds the level of normalcy, it turn’s be ridiculous.

The complete second half is brimmed with such elements of more stunts, punch dialogues. Thank God! The baddie Salim Ghosh doesn’t yell at high-pitched tones just as most of the villains are prone to. His performance is quite appreciable while the actor delineated with the role of police officer is appealing. On the flip side, his role is so similar to Manoj K Jayan’s characterization in ‘Dhool’.

There are some garbled factors, which completely acts as a spoiler. Devaraj IPS has been such a big shot continuously hitting headlines for his acts. But how come his gruesome disappearance is never showcased in media channels. At the other corner, Vijay advising his lady professor is so ridiculous.

Babu Sivan has followed the same principles of Dharani on characterizations: An honest police officer humiliated, a bad cop in support of goon, heroines with no prominences and so on.

Technically, Vijay Antony’s songs scores high as it works well with Vijay’s dance and Anushka’s glamorous show. Camera works are really annoying as shots aren’t based on creativity and simply centered for heroism attributes (low angle shots and immediate zoom-in and out) while V.T. Vijayan steps out of his usual mark and attempts to copycat Anthony.

As on marking verdict for ‘Vettaikaran’, it would’ve been better if Babu Sivan had avoided the cliched narration during second half. The 90mins first half has been done well though it takes entire portions to establish each and every character. But the second half of 1.15mins could have been trimmed as it turns us restless with repeated moments. Though Babu Sivan has attempted to furnish a different climax (again picked from Dharani’s ‘Dhool’ where hero acts as an instigator of villain’s culmination rather than getting it done with his fists), it doesn’t stand out for appreciation.

What works: First Half, Vijay’s dance and comedic portions, Anushka’s glamour, Music

What didn’t work: Second Half, hackneyed story and screenplay, overdosed heroisms, more action sequences.

Verdict: Average fare

Production: Sun Pictures, AVM Productions

Direction: Babu Sivan

Star-casts: Vijay, Anushka, Salim Ghosh, Shayaji Shinde, Satyan, Srinath, Sri Hari and others.

Music: Vijay Anthony

Namitha loves half-saree and long skirt!

Glam goddess Namitha said she would like to don a half-saree and long skirt, if she gets the chance. She was speaking at the audio launch of 'Nil Gavani Ennai Kathalai', held at Four Frames theatre.

The gorgeous actress was responding to the plea made by lyricist Snehan, who spoke before her. Snehan said that half-saree and long skirt was the traditional costume of Tamil young girls and if Namitha chose to wear it, thousands would follow suit. Namitha said that she would wear the costume as and when possible and would don it in one of her forthcoming films.

'Nil Gavani Ennai Kathalai', directed by Pramod and Pappan, is a trilingual starring Namitha, Kalabhavan Mani and Bala in the lead.
