Aishwarya Rai baby shower is super hit
Doting mum in law Jaya Bachchan held a baby shower for her Bahu Aishwarya and invited Btown ladies to be a part of the ceremony at their Juhu residence ‘Jalsa’. The evergreen Saira Banu wished Aishwarya Rai on the occasion to be happy always. Aishwarya looked gorgeous in a Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla creation.
Shaina NC, Urmila Matondkar, Maanyata Dutt, all dressed in their traditional garb graced the occasion. Karan Johar was probably the only male attendant of the event. Saroj Khan, Mana Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Dimple Kapadia, Maheep Kapoor, Neelam and Poonam Sinha were also spotted. Ace hair and make-up artist Mickey Contractor was called in to style Aishwarya. Neeta Lulla along with daughter Nishka, Vaibhav Merchant, Kirron Kher, also came in to wish the Bachchan parivaar. Lastly we were lucky enough to also spot Paa-to-be Abhishek Bachchan looking elegant in a sherwani. After the ceremony, Aishwarya left for her mother’s house for the final delivery and we are sure everyone is just counting days and eagerly waiting for the next generation of the Bachchans to step in the world.

Aiswarya rai makes public appearence
Ever since she has got pregnant, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been avoiding going public and has specially been out of the media glare. But she made an exception as the lady stepped out of the house to attend Sanjay Dutt and Maanyata Dutt’s ‘Maata Ki Chowki’. The lady along with her father and mother in law Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan attended the function.
Abhishek Bachchan is currently shooting for Rohit Shetty’s ‘Bol Bachchan’ in Jaipur and so was missing from the function. Others who attended the Chowki were Ajay Devgan and Kajol Devgan, Shraddha Kapoor, Sophie Chaudhary, Lisa Haydon, Amisha Patel, Raj Kundra and Shilpa Kundra, Neha Uberoi, Chunkey Pandey and Bhavan Pandey and more.
Sisters Namrata Dutt and Priya Dutt along with their families were already present to take the blessings.

Happy Birthday Sadaa!
Beautiful Sadaa is celebrating her birthday today. We wish this wonderful actress a very happy birthday and many more returns of this special day.
Getting introduced to cinema in 2002 through Jayam, Sadaa has achieved so much in such a short time! Ironically, the dialogue which made Sadaa a household name was “Poyaa... Po”, which means “go away”! The elegant manner in which she delivered the dialogue – a hand pointing away from her, head bobbing rhythmically to the tone of her voice – only had the opposite effect; the audience found themselves attracted to her just like the film’s protagonist! And that's it! Sadaa was a celebrity overnight! Every South Indian film industry wanted to claim this actress as its own, which saw this slim and beautiful belle act in a string of movies in all the South Indian languages. Soon, Bollywood – the mecca of all film heroines – and Sandalwood beckoned!

Vastadu Naa Raju Movies Reviews
Narsimha (Prakash Raj), a rowdy in the city works for Home Minister Adi Keshava Rao (Sayaji Shinde). Adi Keshava Rao son Ajay (Ajay) loves Pooja (Tapsee), sister of Narsimha.Adi Keshava Rao fixes his son’s marriage with Pooja. The marriage will be personal benefit to Adi Keshava Rao while political benefit to Narsimha.
Venki (Vishnu), son of Tanikella Bharani has only one ambition, to become a boxing champion. He doesn’t believe in girls or love. However, series of events made Pooja family and Venki family believe that there is a love affair between them. In real, Venki and Pooja don’t know and never talked to each other.
The whole misunderstanding lead Narsimha to attack Tanikella Bharani bakery shop and break the engagement of Venki sister. After few scenes, Venki kidnaps Pooja to settle the score with Narsimha.
What did Venki do to the kidnaped Pooja? Is there any love between Venki and Pooja? If there is love, are they successfully married breaking the engagement with Home Minister son? Go and watch the movie to know all these questions.
Performance
Vishnu slim physique is not suited well for a boxing champion role. His face looked dull and no energy in the performance. Vishnu had tried hard to imitate dad Mohan Babu in dialogues but nowhere near. Definitely need to work on his dance movements.
Tapsee gave same expressions for every scene. Other than exposing her Navel in songs, she didn’t justify her selection.
Prakash Raj performed this kind of role umpteen times. Sayaji Shinde is regular. Tanikella Bharani under utilized. Brahmanandam comedy is weak. Surekha Vani, Satya Krishna, Ajay justified their roles.
Jeeva, Narsing, Shiva Reddy, Rajesh, and Ali are for the namesake.
Technical
Debutant director Hemanth Madhukar lived up to his debutant tag. He showed his in experience in every single scene. He needs to work heavily on his screenplay. Storyline of the movie is not bad, but script and screenplay killed the movie.
Manisharma music is good. All songs are good for listening. Rerecording is a big letdown.Cinematography is very poor. Lack of dancing ability by lead pair reflected in the songs picturisation. Action scenes are composed average manner. Editing is poor. Even production values are not high standard.
Analysis
In the first place, ‘Vastadu Naa Raju’ title is not apt for the film. One doesn’t understand who is waiting for whom in the movie. There is no story in the entire first half other than songs and forced comedy. Real story starts just before the interval, but never really took off. It runs with slow pace testing the patience of the audience.
Forced comedy between Brahmanandam and Surekha Vani, Ajay calling Prakash Raj wife (she is sister to Ajay in relation to club should have avoided. No song is situational and all the songs are forced to break the snail pace of the movie.
Overall, Vishnu has to wait for his next movie to prove his mettle as hero. ‘Vastadu Naa Raju’ is below average movie, which may not appeal to multiplex and A center audiences. It is run in B, C centers are also doubtful.

Kareena to pay tribute to Sridevi
Kareena Kapoor has only agreed to do one tribute so far to her own sister, Karisma Kapoor, at an award function a couple of years ago.
A little convincing by her best friend, Ekta Kapoor, however, has made her agree to perform to Sridevi's songs as a tribute to her at Balaji's Global Indian Film & TV Honours (GIFTH).
Says a source close to Kareena, "She will be performing to a medley of Sridevi's hit songs at Balaji's Global Indian Film & TV Honours.
Sridevi will be present there. Kareena will perform to songs like Morni bagamaa bole, Mere haatho mein nau nau chudiyaan hain and Hawa hawai among many others. She has handpicked and selected the songs herself."
"Normally, Kareena doesn't pay tributes to other actors but likes to dance to her own songs. When Ekta came and met her and explained the concept of how she wanted B-Town's reigning queen (Kareena) to pay a tribute to another reigning queen of the previous generation (Sridevi), Kareena couldn't refuse," said the source.
Kareena will also be dancing on Nainon mein sapna, which featured Ekta and Tusshar Kapoor's father Jeetendra along with Sridevi. Manish Malhotra, who used to design for Sridevi, is also designing for Kareena for the show.
"Sridevi is iconic. This generation has no idea about her fan following. Sridevi was a darling of the masses, like Kareena is today! I find Kareena and Sridevi very similar filmi heroines with whom the masses instantly connect too," said Ekta.
"Twenty years ago, Kareena would have been a worthy competitor to Sridevi as would Sridevi to Kareena today.
They share the same bubbliness and mass connect. I have watched their films Himmatwala and Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai and been witness to the mass hysteria of their audience. I have never seen this kind of mass reaction for any other actress. Kareena is the perfect person to pay a tribute to Sridevi. Who wouldn't want to see Kareena dance to Sridevi's hits?" she added.
Kareena said, "I'm a big fan of Sridevi and have grown up watching her films. I'm very excited and humbled to be performing to her songs. It is an honour and I feel proud to step into her shoes."

Ram Charan to make Aadukalam in Telugu?
Young Tollywood superstar Ram Charan Teja is likely to remake Dhanush-Tapasee team's latest super hit Aadukalam, directed by Vetrimaran. The actor saw the film recently and expressed his interest in the remake. If this happens, Vetrimaran will also direct the Telugu version, it is heard.
Set in the backdrop of Madurai, Aadukalam is about two groups headed by police officer Ratna Sami (Naren) and Pettaikkaaram (Jayabalan), who conduct cock fights (Saaval Sandai) in a remote village. Though Ratna Sami is a dominating figure among cock fighters in terms of money and muscle power and his family has won several trophies in the sport, he has been unable to defeat Pettaikkaaram in 30 years. Comparatively poor, Pettaikkaaram's only wealth is a few roosters and assistants Karuppu (Dhanush) and Dorai (Kishore). Ratna Sami's only ambition in life? To defeat Pettaikkaaram at least once in his lifetime!
Ratna Sami decides to conduct one last tournament to prove his family dominance in cockfighting and emerge as a winner to fulfil his dying mother's dream. While both teams are preparing for the cockfight by choosing the best roosters, Karuppu approaches Pettaikkaaram with his rooster, but his master rejects it and asks him to kill it, saying that it is unfit for the fight. But Karuppu trains it in secret.
On the tournament day, his friend Irene (Tapasee) demands that Karuppu return the money he borrowed from her some time ago. To earn this amount, Karuppu steps into the tournament with his rooster and wins three lakhs! Karuppu's unanticipated success and fame make his master upset and jealous and consequently an enemy! What happens next forms the rest of the plot.

Tapasee talks about Vastadu Naa Raju
After marking her Telugu debut with K. Raghavendra Rao's Jhummandi Naadam, starring Manoj Manchu, glamour doll Tapasee is currently doing her second Telugu film Vastadu Naa Raju, directed by Hemant Madhukar with Vishnu Manchu in the lead.
Talking about this film, slated for February 11 release, the actress said in an interview: "I play a normal Telugu, middle-class city girl brought up by her elder brother. They don't have parents. There are no negative characters; it's only the situations. Prakashraj, who plays my brother, does certain things which he thinks right for his sister but actually, he is wrong. I heard that people were awed by my glamour in Jhummandi Naadam but they didn't notice my performance. Vastadu Naa Raju is the answer to those people who think I can do only glamour roles. It will show what variety roles I can do. I am waiting for the response."
Asked if she signed Vastadu Naa Raju because it is a mass entertainer, she said: "It was the script. In fact the character is ordinary but it's the storyline -- how the character moves with the story -- which made me sign it."

Pawan Kalyan-Jayanth's next: Teenmaar
Director Jayanth C. Paranji's proposed romantic entertainer starring Pawan Kalyan, Trisha and Kriti Kharbanda, has been titled Teenmaar with a tagline 'Celebration of Love.' (The word 'Teenmaar' refers to the popular drum beats for a mass frenzy dance during celebrations, especially in the Nizam region.)
There were speculations earlier that the film would be titled either Lovely or Kushiga, as producer Ganesh Babu registered these titles under the banner of his Parameshwara Arts.
Ganesh Babu said: "Teenmaar is an apt title. The unit is now stationed in Mysore where some important scenes are being shot. Another schedule remains to be held abroad with which the shooting will be complete. Teenmaar is Pawan Kalyan's biggest budget film till date. The audio, composed by Mani Sharma, will be released in the first week of March."
Cinematography is by Jayanan Vincent and art by Narayana Reddy.

Radikaa Sarathkumar turns 33!
You read it right! The dynamic movie and small screen personality just completed 33 years -- in showbiz! It seems like just yesterday that we laid eyes on the awkward young actress who could barely get her lines out! Look at her now. That young girl feels like another person in another lifetime, a true metamorphosis!
Although her brother (Radharavi) and father (M.R. Radha) were respected actors in the movie biz, Radikaa was a reluctant debutante when she starred in Bharathiraja’s Kizhake Pogum Rayil. This maiden was just 15 during her maiden performance; in spite of her initial apprehension, she continued and bloomed in the field that had found her. From one movie to the next, Radikaa showed radical improvement in terms of performance, hard work and dedication. In a matter of a few years she evolved into an actress to reckon with. With an amazing screen presence and a powerful persona, she is an actress who can intimidate even the most skilled veterans. And she’s not restricted herself to cinema. With a long list of supporting roles in films still coming her way, she is a busy TV actress-producer. Her production house Radaan Media Works has produced several successful serials, including the iconic 'Chitti' and current TV Topper 'Chellame'. Her serials are popular in Tamil Nadu and neighbouring states (dubbed versions). Her media house has even produced a handful of movies, including Sarathkumar’s Jaggubai.
Some memorable Radikaa starrers (in Tamil) include Kizhake Pogum Rayil, Indru Poi Naalai Vaa, Pokkiri Raja, Ranga, Moondru Mugam, Thavani Kanavugal, Paer Sollum Pillai, Irattaivaal Kuruvi, Keladi Kanmani, Kizhakku Seemaiyile, Pavithra, Suryavamsam, Jeans, Roja Kootam.
Her husband Sarathkumar and good friend actor Abbas hosted a surprise party for Radikaa in Chennai, with elite guests like Rajni, Kamal, Sathyaraj, Prabhu, Bhagyaraj, Suriya, Jyotika, Karthi, Suhasini Mani Ratnam, Ramya Krishnan and several others. Each person came forward and shared their emotions about their friend, mentor and “Akka” Radikaa. We at Galatta congratulate her and wish her many more successful years in cinema.

Nayantara to quit films after Sri Rama Rajyam?
2010 was favourable to Nayantara as an actress, though it put immense pressure her as an individual, thanks to her relationship with Prabhu Deva!
With the back-to-back success of her almost all films in 2010, everybody thought that she would regain her No. 1 position in the South in 2011, but things are apparently not working out like that!
Sources close to the actress reveal that she has stopped giving dates and is planning to quit films after completing her ongoing Telugu project Sri Rama Rajyam, a mythological film in which she plays Sita.
The buzz is that Prabhu Deva had asked her to quit films after Sri Rama Rajyam, since they are getting married by the year end. A website also quoted the actress as saying: "Prabhu Deva told me not to act in films post marriage. Having thought it through and discussed it with wellwishers, I am absolutely confident it is the right decision for me." So Sri Rama Rajyam is most likely to be her swan song as an actress.

Chiru calls Rajini for Ramcharan
Ramcharan urgently needs a strong story and solid script that can pave the way easily for a hit film. chiranjeevi and Mega compound followers are known to have zeroed upon winning the remake rights Tamil super hit film ‘Aadukalam’ of hero Dhanush which was released for the Pongal season. Although other producers from Tollywood are fighting for this remake, chiranjeevi is gossiped to have taken extra interest by calling upon Rajinikanth requesting him to see that ‘Aadukalam’ remake rights goes to one of their Mega banner. Well, it is good to see both Babai (Pawan Kalyan) and Abbai (Cherry) betting on remakes.Despite a strong hit like ‘Magadheera’ for Ramcharan, the present situation looks very dim as his movies are facing severe hurdles in the shooting stages. ‘Orange’ is pulled out from the collapse situation and is released only to see dig holes in the pockets of distributors and exhibitors. Now, ‘Merupu’ is hanging in air unable to proceed further.
