Salman's BODYGUARD Movie Review Rating :4.5/5...Expect a hurricane at the box-office
For most of us, the festive season is also about entertaining ourselves with a Bollywood biggie. Following two blockbuster Eid releases in the last two years, WANTED [2009] and DABANGG [2010], Salman Khan, the darling of the masses, unleashes yet another entertainer this Eid [this time, it coincides with Ganesh Chaturthi] -- BODYGUARD. The buzz around a Salman movie only got bigger this year, but the pertinent question is, will Salman deliver yet another festive hit with BODYGUARD? After having set such high standards for himself, will Salman surpass his previous achievements? Well, that should be easy to pull off taking into account [a] Salman's current form at the box-office and [b] The film has the merits to stand on its feet.
Let me elaborate. You expect Salman starrers to be larger-than-life, superhero films. You expect him to be the messiah of the masses. BODYGUARD presents Salman exactly the way we expect him to be presented, but, at the same time, the film brings back memories of the soft, romantic roles that Salman essayed in his initial films. What makes the film tick is that Salman and director Siddique have done something hatke within the limitations of the typical Bollywood formula, which, I am sure, should appeal to the Hindi movie buff abundantly.
Final word? BODYGUARD is a perfect family entertainer that compliments the spirit of the festive season.
When it comes to being punctual and doing his duties perfectly, Lovely Singh [Salman Khan] is unmatchable. Taking great pride in what he does, he spares no effort in giving his everything to his profession.
Lovely is summoned for an assignment of guarding Divya [Kareena Kapoor], the daughter of Sartaj Rana [Raj Babbar], a business tycoon. Lovely accompanies her to her campus, but ends up rubbing her the wrong way with his over-protective nature. She finds him to be a major obstacle in leading a regular campus life. To throw him off-track and get him out of the way, she comes up with a 'master plan' -- that of trapping him in a fake love affair. 'Once he's smitten by the girl of his dreams and is reveling in his new-found romance, he will leave us alone and we shall be free to do our own thing unhindered', says Divya to her friends.
She becomes an anonymous admirer of his and starts hounding him, expressing her 'feelings' in no uncertain terms. Lovely, however, proves to be a tough nut to crack and it takes quite a bit of doing from her side to penetrate his fort-like exterior. But once she succeeds in doing so, he transforms into a completely different person. Divya is triumphant and is all set to relish her regained freedom.
But things take an unexpected turn when she learns a few things about Lovely. Things that she could've never even imagined. And she soon finds herself trapped in a dilemma that she's unable to resolve. And with her, soon enough, Lovely finds himself trapped in a web of lies, trickery and deceit.
BODYGUARD is a simple-n-sweet tale of love that's engaging and relatable. At the same time, there's an unexpected twist in the pre-climax which shocks you completely. At no point does the director swerve from the main plot to provide a few extra laughs or thrills. Besides, this is a script which gives actors a lot of room to emote. And both Salman and Kareena seize the opportunity with both hands. More on that later!
Like I pointed out earlier, with BODYGUARD, Salman returns to a genre he started out with -- love story. Sure, BODYGUARD is a remake of a Malayalam film [remade in various South Indian languages as well], which has all the trappings of a perfect masala film -- action, music, comedy -- but BODYGUARD is essentially a love story at heart. Salman's intro may give an impression that it's a hardcore masala film, especially the song and fight sequence [frankly, the first half of the film is routine, with not much happening in the plot]. The director reserves the best for the second half, when it transforms into a love story. The action scene in the second half -- when Salman and Aditya Pancholi get into a fist fight -- is outstanding and will send his fans in raptures. Especially the moment when Salman's shirt rips off and his ripped muscles can be seen. The twist in the tale is a complete shocker. In fact, the penultimate reels of the film catches you complete unaware since you don't expect the story to change so dramatically.
Director Siddique, who has directed the same script for the third time, ensures that a simple story is narrated with simplicity and unfussiness. The twist in the tale comes at the right time, the songs are smartly integrated in the plotline and of course, there are ample comic moments, courtesy Rajat Rawail. The best thing about the film is that Siddique has made a very conscious effort to project Salman as a sensitive human being and not as a demigod, which is why the character becomes all the more relatable and endearing.
The soundtrack fits the genre of the film well. The title track at the very start [Salman's intro] will draw whistles and claps, while 'Teri Meri' is undoubtedly the pick of the lot. Soulfully rendered, this one's simply mesmerizing. Overall, it's a hit score from Himesh Reshammiya and Pritam. Sejal Shah's cinematography is appropriate. Vijayan's action sequences are stylish. Though not an action film, the action sequences do stand out.
Salman delivers one of his best performances in recent times. He makes magnificent use of his tough physique and soft face. Salman's fans are sure to lap this knockout performance in a big way. BODYGUARD would be incomplete without Kareena's contribution. Some roles are tailor-made for actresses who can deliver with aplomb and who better than Kareena to infuse life in a challenging character. She looks gorgeous [as always] and gives this character the dignity that it deserves. Raj Babbar is perfect. Mahesh Manjrekar is as usual. Aditya Pancholi, in a cameo, stages a welcome comeback. He's first-rate. Rajat Rawail is a joy to watch. He's truly funny. Hazel is quite good. Asrani and Vidya Sinha are okay in their respective parts.
On the whole, BODYGUARD works for varied reasons -- it has a simple, but captivating story with a dramatic twist in the tale, the chemistry between the lead actors is perfect and the music is well juxtaposed in the narrative. But its biggest USP is, without doubt, Salman Khan. He carries the film on his broad and brawny shoulders and that alone is the imperative reason for watching this film. BODYGUARD should emerge his third festive hit and fourth super-success at the ticket window. Expect a hurricane called BODYGUARD to strike at the box-office.
Rating : 4.5/5
Atif Aslam's Bol Movie Review Rating 4/5
Shoaib Mansoor is one of the brightest names to come out of Pakistan. A few years ago, his film KHUDA KAY LIYE, which tackled the theme of terrorism, won wide acclaim and praise. The supremely talented storyteller is back with another bold and hard-hitting effort called BOL, which unmasks the dual standards prevalent in the society. In fact, we make tall claims about the rights of women and how they are equal to men, but if one looks around, especially in the under-developed countries, the disparity and inequality is for all to see.
Shoaib is indeed a courageous storyteller and this film must have sparked off a debate when it released in Pakistan several weeks ago. Like KHUDA KAY LIYE, BOL addresses the religious extremism in the neighboring country. It's about a daughter who stands up against her father, but most importantly, she dares to defy the age-old societal norms that treat women as lesser beings. The fact that a Pakistani film-maker has had the courage to tackle this theme makes it all the more commendable and praiseworthy.
BOL makes you peep into the lives of a family living in Pakistan, making us aware of the predicament, the anguish, their determination to survive against all odds. The family decides to solve their problems, but get into deeper troubles gradually. The struggle for life and death is what catches your eye.
BOL shocks and stuns also because of the sub-plots in the plotline and the twists and turns in the story. Of course, I wouldn't like to reveal the details and spoil the fun of watching this brilliant fare, but I'd like to add that one has rarely witnessed such themes on the big screen. It serves as a wake-up call for the orthodox types on both the sides of the border.
BOL has a striking story to tell. It's about a Hakeem Sahab's quest to have a son that sees his wife give birth to fourteen children, but only seven daughters survive. The eighth is a hermaphrodite, much to Hakeem's embarrassment. The film throws light on this family's problems and how each member of the family reacts to them, taking contradicting decisions and handling awkward situations.
BOL takes you on a roller coaster journey of emotions. A story that dares to bare the troubles of a certain society: the status of women in the neighboring country, the life of a hermaphrodite and of course, the quest for a male heir to keep the family name alive. Admiring BOL and not appreciating Shoaib would be doing a great disservice to the individualist film-maker. He deserves brownie points for not just choosing a controversial subject, but also handling it with aplomb. That's not all, for Shoaib has extracted wonderful performances from the principal cast.
Shoaib is a fantastic raconteur and you realize how talented he is at several points of the narrative. The difference of opinion between the eldest daughter [portrayed by Humaima Malik] and her father [Manzar Sehbai] is electrifying. You can feel an undercurrent of tension every time they share the screen space. Also, the start of the film, when Humaima begins to narrate her story and the way her story unfolds, is shocking.
On the flip side, the narrative dips, albeit sporadically, during Iman Ali's portions. Besides, a song filmed on her wasn't necessary in the first place and looks like a complete add-on. Even her performance isn't as invigorating as the remaining cast. Yet, despite the minor aberrations, BOL leaves you spellbound at the conclusion of the story.
BOL belongs to both Humaima Malik and Manzar Sehbai, who stand out with terrific portrayals. Both are splendid in their respective parts. Atif Aslam and Mahira Khan don't get much scope and they are strictly okay. In fact, Atif Aslam's screen space is limited to a few sequences and a song or two. Shafqat Cheema is exceptional; it's a character that works very well in the plot. Zaib Rehman [the mother] is most effective.
On the whole, BOL is a courageous film that has the guts to expose issues plaguing the society. It raises questions, challenges the age-old customs and mirrors a reality most convincingly. A brilliant film embellished with bravura performances. Not to be missed!

Lokpal: In Front there Is Crocodile Festival
The Parliament has accepted Anna’s demands. The gesture of the Parliament is being hailed as “People’s victory”. So far so good. It is an occasion both to feel elated and have a sigh of relief.
But, even Anna while breaking his fast was very cautious and indicated that it was only half battle won and he had only suspended his fast, not ended it and his crusade would continue till the Parliament passed the anti-graft bill. In other words, even the man who mobilized entire Nation around his demands too is skeptical that there is still long struggle before the corruption is eradicated completely.
To put Anna’s words in a different way through dialogues from a movie of our own once Mega Star, it is all not over as “In front there is crocodile festival”. Because, mere Parliament adopting a “sense of the House” declaration agreeing in principal to the three key demands of Anna, should not be a reason for celebrating that path is cleared for constituting a strong anti-corruption body.
Let us beware of sophisticated saboteurs in all political parties. Anna and his bunch of civil society members by forcing the Parliament to agree to their demands had hurt and bruised their elitist ego. A wounded politician is as vengeful as a wounded tiger. Now that he would be on a prowl designing ways and means to scuttle the efforts to see that the Lok Pal takes its own course before it becomes a Law or to be precise a "FLAW".
They would make every effort like prisoners who had been asked to construct a fence around the jail, with emphasis for escape routes to construct the fence.
Now that Anna had won the democratic half battle, the politicians would enter with their own game of politics to fish in troubled waters. It would be an entirely different game altogether, in the din of which Anna's voice might sound feeble. Or will the coterie around Anna develop political ambitions to reap political benefits pushing Anna in front? Khel Abhi Bhaki hai Bhai. Anything can happen in this world of political intrigue.
But having said the above the ultimate question remains: Can corruption be abolished by law?
We are a society in which we even bribe God to seek his blessings. The corruption is deeply ingrained in the national culture, and the political will required to wipe it out is simply not there.
To quote Kautilya “It is impossible for a government servant not to eat up at least a bit of the King’s revenue”. The climate culture of corruption helped British to plunder us for centuries and the mantle is only passed to our modern day rulers.
The political- Bureaucratic nexus in our Country is like a ravenous vulture that devours the carcasses of the dead.
What the British did, the modern day Political-Bureaucratic Maharajas continued, ravenously devouring the living carcasses of their subjects. Add to this our consecrated culture of bribing God to grant us favours which have gone deep into our mental makeup that God’s blessings can be purchased. It follows, that a minister’s blessings and a bureaucrat’s favours can also be bought. And it has been a hall mark of our day to day activity as we look for short cuts to get our works done.
In a society where Corruption is accepted as part of life, will Jan Lok Pal bill be able to halt corruption? To some extent it might act as an instrument to punish the guilty that were caught. What about those who are not caught and there is mutual understanding for exchanging favours?
We have become immune even to the moral dimensions of corruption.
We all think that corruption is something that other people practice. In fact, it is systemic in our social structure and our public life; everyone, willingly or otherwise, consciously or otherwise, is a participant.
The real issue is not this bill or that law. The real issue is: How do we change ourselves?
The effort to answer the above question was somehow lost in the frenzy of slogan shouting of “Anna is India and India is Anna” or may be somehow is not the concern of the Civil Society which has a hidden agenda to serve the interests of NGOs and corporate enterprises whom they deliberately kept out of the purview of their Jan Lok Pal.
To repeat our own Mega star once again; In front there is crocodile festival.

Lok Sabha accepts Anna’s demands!.... Historical Movement
The Lok Sabha unanimously accepted Anna Hazare’s three amendments to the Lokpal Bill and this was conveyed by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee. The Lok Sabha unanimously adopted a resolution that conveys “the sense of the House” by thumping of desks. No formal voting was carried out.
The news has reached Anna Hazare and it is reliably learnt that he has accepted the resolution and will end his fast at 10am tomorrow. This is a major victory for the 74 year old veteran who has single handedly fought the battle to bring about a tough new anti corruption bill. The way the issue has been fought has also been a sense of pride to many Indians. The ‘revolution’ was largely peaceful.
Anna Hazare has lost 7.5 kgs as on day 12 and his health parameters have been a cause for concern. The amended version of the bill will now be sent to a parliamentary standing committee that will assess the feasibility and constitutional legality of the bill. The committee will propose changes if necessary and send the bill back to the House for the necessary formalities to enact it into a law.
Thousands of supporters gathered at the venue to celebrate this critical phase.Anna Hazare’s closest supporters though, are not happy. They see the failure to vote as a betrayal.
The country is waiting with anxiety for an official statement from the Anna Hazare camp.

Mahesh Babu's Dhookudu Audio Review
1. Nee Dookudu :
Singer(s): Shankar Mahadevan
Lyrics: Vishwa
This is an introduction song in the classic mould, along the lines of Jagadame in Pokiri. The song has been rendered with tremendous energy and vigour by Shankar Mahadevan. Thaman comes up with some good peppy music and the track moves along in a fast paced and cheerful manner.There is good guitar work in this song. Rama Jogayya Sastry’s lyrics are just about ok but they achieve their purpose of elevating the hero’s character. This song will cater beautifully to fans and front benchers.
2. Guruvaram
Singer(s): Rahul Nambiar
Lyrics: Rama Jogayya Sastry
This song starts of beautifully with some nice synthesizer beats. Rama Jogayya Sastry’s lyrics are fairly romantic and they are used very well by Rahul Nambiar, whose voice imparts a certain positive vibration to the song. A lovely chorus & some soft and soulful music make this one of the best songs of the album. This song will be an instant chart-buster and will remain with the listeners for a long time.
3.Chulbuli Chulbuli
Singer(s): Karthik, Rita
Lyrics: Rama Jogayya Sastry
This song looks and feels like the song “Kilimanjaro” from Robot. The trailer for this song shows that even the dancer’s costumes are pretty similar.Standard fare here from Rama Jogayya Sastry as well as from Thaman. Nothing new or innovative. Decent performances from Karthik and Rita turn this one into an average number. Nothing mind blowing, but will probably look good on screen because of the picturization.
4. Poovai Poovai
Singer(s): Ramya, Naveen Madhav
Lyrics: Rama Jogayya Sastry
This song has some very addictive music and the guitar work is simply superb. This is supposed to be the “item song” of the movie and Ramya makes sure that you never miss that fact when you are listening to this song. Looks like she had a lot of fun singing this song and it shows. This song unabashedly takes its inspiration from Sholay’s “Mehbooba Mehbooba” and that’s absolutely fine when we have so much fun listening to this number. Rama Jogayya Sastry’s lyrics are nicely provocative and lend a mischievous feel to the number. This is one of the best songs of the album and will turn out to be an iconic blockbuster if picturized well.
5. Dethadi Dethadi
Singer(s): Ranjith, Divya
Lyrics: Bhaskarabhatla
This is an out and out mass number and Thaman has done an admirable job here. The song has a very earthy and uncomplicated feel to it and will impress listeners the first time itself. Ranjitha and Divya render this number with gay abandon and that’s the principal reason why this track will do well. There is tremendous energy in this song. Bhaskarabhatla’s lyrics do the job but they are nothing to write home about.
6.Adara Adaragottu
Singer(s): Karthik, Koti, Rama Jhogaya Sastry, Vardhini, Ranina Reddy
Lyrics: Rama Jogayya Sastry
This song has “Sreenu Vytla” written all over it. This is a typical wedding song that is found in Sreenu Vytla’s movies and one can easily guess why this song will appear in the movie. The lyrics by Rama Jogayya Sastry are decent enough and this is an ok number. This song is probably critical for the story’s progress.
Analysis: Mahesh Babu has a pretty good album on his hands and that is already half the battle won. There is something for everyone in this album and my favourite picks are Guruvaram, Poovai Poovai, Nee Dookudu and Dethadi Dethadi.These songs will achieve greater success once the movie is out as there is tremendous scope for visual grandeur with these tracks. Buy it and enjoy it!

Leaf's departure is because of Wind's pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her to stay......
Tree
People call me "Tree".
I had dated 5 girls when I was in Pre-U. There is one girl who I love a lot but never dared to go after. She didn't have a pretty face, good figure or an outstanding charm. She was just a very ordinary girl. I liked her. I really liked her. I liked her innocence, her frankness, her intelligence and her fragility.

List of real Black Money Holders from WikiLeaks.
Click to blow off ur mind...
Accumulating only these names sums up to 1.14 TRILLION USD. What do you have to say???
Kandireega, a mass massalic paisa vasool laugh riot... Go Watch It!.
Rating : 4/5
Director : Santhosh Srinivas
Producer : Bellamkonda Suresh
Music Director : Thaman S
Starring : Ram, Hansika, Aksha others others…
Ram is back with a comedy entertainer, Kandireega, and he has Hansika for company. The movie has been directed by Santosh Srinivas on Sri Saiganesh Films banner. Let us see how the movie fares at the box office
What its about: Srinu(Ram) is a happy-go-lucky youth from Anakapalli. He stays with his parents (played by Chandramohan and Pragathi) and torments the villagers with his pranks.As his cousins and neighbors make fun of him for not completing his degree, he decides to go to Hyderabad and enrolls in a college to achieve it. Sruthi (Hansika) is a student in that college and Srinu falls for her instantly.
But Sruthi is the love interest of Bhavani(Sonu Sood), a notorious Hyderabad goon. Bhavani terrorizes the college and warns the students against interfering with Sruthi. Sruthi feels depressed and waits for someone to save her from this misery. Into this scene enters Srinu and soon a confrontation follows between Srinu and Bhavani. Sruthi soon falls in love with Srinu and Bhavani is pushed onto the back foot.
In a twist, Rajanna (Jayaprakash Reddy) abducts Sruthi and Srinu is forced to follow her to Warangal. Rajanna’s daughter Sandhya (Aksha) is smitten by Ram and Rajanna wants Srinu to marry her. Bhavani comes to know about this and requests Rajanna to hand Sruthi back. Srinu cleverly diverts the attention of Sandhya onto Bhavani and all hell breaks loose.
The rest of the story is all about how Srinu solves the issues with a clever scheme.
What is Good: Kandireega is a movie that will make your stomach hurt from laughing out too much. Though the story is not new, the way it is handled and the tight screenplay do wonders for the film.
Ram comes up with another good performance as a scheming lover boy. He looks good and his dances are excellent as always. His comedy timing has improved tremendously and there is considerable ease and confidence in his performance.
Hansika looks good and does her bit as required. She shares good screen chemistry with Ram. But Aksha steals the show in the second half with her Warangal dialect and she turns in a lively performance.
Sonu Sood is just brilliant as the stammering Don Bhavani. His histrionics and comedy timing are of a top order and he is a major asset to the movie. He leaves the audience rolling with laughter with his brand of ‘serious comedy’.
Brahmanandam makes a cameo appearance in the first half and his ‘confrontation’ with Sonu Sood is pretty good. Raghu Babu enters the movie in the second half as ‘Intelligence Officer Avatar” and makes his mark.
Jayaprakash Reddy, Chandra Mohan, M.S. Narayana, Srinivas Reddy and Fish Venkat do a good job and support the movie well.
Songs are choreographed and picturized very well. Champakamala stands out for its excellent locales.
What is Bad: The story is a very routine one and in the second half,one feels a strong resemblance to the movie “Ready”. But this does not really hurt the movie in any way. The climax scene where Sonu Sood is convinced so easily into marrying Aksha is a bit unrealistic.
The first half has a tad too many fights. Brahmaji is wasted and though the one or two scenes in which he is present are good, they do not do justice to his potential.
Technical Departments: Santosh Srinivas deserves a special mention for his tight screenplay and direction. There is not one boring moment in the film and the comedy is very tasteful. He has considerable talent at ably handling the capabilities of his actors.
Thaman’s background music is good and the song Champakamala will be with you for a long time after you leave the cinema. Dialogues are very good and are a major asset to the movie. Editing is flawless.
Fights and dances are well composed and give the movie a stylish feel. Cinematography is very good and the movie is presented in a bright and cheerful way.
Analysis: Kandireega is a movie which will make you smile as you walk out of the theater. There is some fantastic comedy in the movie and though the story is a bit old and familiar,the comedy quotient makes up for it. Kandireega will do fantastic business across A, B and C centers as the movie has something for everyone. Take your family along and give them a good time this weekend.

Movie Review: Dhada
Banner: Shri Kamakshi Enterpises
Producer(s): Siva Prasad Reddy
Director: Ajay Bhuyan
Music: DSP
Casting: Naga chaitanya, kajal,sreeram, sameeksha,mukesh rushi,Rahul Dev,Kelly Dorjee,Brahmanandam,Ali.
Story: Nagarjuna compared Naga Chaitanya ‘Ye Maya Chesave’ with his ‘Gitanjali’ and ‘Dhada’ with his ‘Shiva’. The statement created lot of buzz and fans are eager to see Naga Chaitanya in action oriented role. The film released today and we will see how close ‘Dhada’ movie compared to Nagarjuna hit movie ‘Shiva’.
Vishwa ( Naga Chaitanya) stays with his brother Rajeev ( Sri Ram) and SIL ( Sameeksha) in USA. One day Vishwa rescues young girls from the custody of RD ( Rahul Dev) and Kelly ( Kelly Dorjee) who do business with young girls flesh. RD gang is on the lookout for Vishwa to kill him for bringing crores of rupees loss to their business by rescuing the girls.
Ria ( Kajal),only daughter of Mukesh Rushi, a business tycoon who is money minded. Like in every film Vishwa fell in love with her and after few reels Kajal also reciprocates. But, Mukesh Rushi fixes her marriage with a young billionaire Amith. Vishwa and Ria caught red handed by Amith while romancing learnt that Ria loves Viswa. Amith approaches RD and gives Rs 1 Cr to kill Vishwa.
RD gives the eliminating of Vishwa task to his trusted gang member Rajeev. Rest of the story how Vishwa eliminates villains and marries Ria.
Performance: Naga Chaitanya who scored hits with soft characters in 'Ye Maya Chesave' and '100% Love' tried to change his image to an action hero with this film. Unfortunately, the role doesn't have enough mass elements to elevate him. There is lot of scope for improvement in action, diction and body language. He has to improve his dancing skills.
Kajal is very disappointing in cry baby role. It is better to avoid the movie if you are a Kajal fan. Sri Ram and Sameeksha justified their roles. Rahul Dev acted well as villain. Kelly Dorjee got limited role.
Brahmanandam, Ali comedy is painful. If you blink your eye you will miss MS Narayana, Venu Madhav , Dharmavarapu Subrahamanyam, Uttej and Tanikella Bharani.
Technical: The director of the film Ajay Bhuyan failed to deliver the big task of projecting Naga Chaitanya in action oriented role. Director chose a week story and laced it with mediocre script. It looks like director forcibly added his ideas in the script making it irrelevant and illogical. In one word, he is the main culprit to the movie. He is an Assistant Director material. Poor editing also had its share in poor outcome.
Music by Devi Sri Prasad is average. Songs are good for listening, but picturisation diluted the effect. Background score cacophonous.
Gnanasekhar cinematography is pretty ordinary. Choreography should have been better. Most of the songs are picturised like Album songs. Abuuri Ravi dialogues are OK. Chase scenes need lot of trimming.
Final Analysis: Naga Chaitnaya did a blunder by acting in the direction of novice director Ajay Bhuyan. Director inexperience showed in every frame of the movie. Director didn’t etched Naga Chaitanya role for that matter any role in the movie. Kajal role also disappoints heavily in the movie. No comedy rather poor comedy ads lag to the already slow paced movie. Songs are already there as speed breakers.
There is absolutely no story in the first half other than hero confrontation with villain gang once and their search for hero. Second half continues with the search plus Kajal- Vishwa love story. The movie runs at slow pace start to finish with head banging scenes in between. One can estimate the progress of the movie just after watching the first ten minutes. The movie can be trimmed in to half still won’t get the better effect.
After watching the movie one wonder how Nagarjuna compared his ‘Shiva’ with Naga Chaitanya ‘Dhada’. Finally, sit tight at home and avoid ‘Dhada’ as much as possible. Its survival at the box office will be max one or two weeks.
