Simbu Making Sweety Shivering

All of Anushka’s admirers know that her pet name is 'Sweety'. Some of her 'closest friends like Naga Chaitanya, Nagarjuna, Sumanth, Prabhas, Ravi Teja and the latest being Mahesh Babu tend to address her as 'Sweety'.

After making her debut in Tollywood with the film 'Super', Sweety has worked with Nag and other top league heroes of Telugu without any fear. So much that even when she was working with Nandamuri Balakrishna in the film 'Okka Magadu', it seems she never had an ounce of fear or tension.

But now, it is heard that the very mention of the name Simbu, the Tamil hero, is giving Anushka tons of sweat. Though she has not worked with Simbu in even one film, the Tamil hero took enough measures by spreading a rumor in the media circles that Anushka has got an affair going on with him.

Not stopping at that, it seems he also ensured that news leaks out about him getting married to Anushka secretly. This news made headlines even in our media circles sometime back. So now, since there is no choice for Anushka but to pair up with Simbu for the Tamil remake of the Telugu film 'Vedam', it seems she is shivering with tension wondering to what range this little superstar will go and land her in danger. Usually, any hero would recommend only that heroine who 'cooperates in all ways' with him. So, it is a very common thing that when they act together, an affair is possible. But it is not the same in Simbu’s case, he is not satisfied with just having a physical relationship with his heroine. He also makes every effort to ensure that the entire world gets to know of his physical intimacy with his leading lady.

For this, he goes to any extent. So'.for Anushka who believes in pairing up with any hero and treating that hero as 'one and all' throughout the film, isn’t this is a difficult task? That’s why the very mention of Simbu is said to be giving Sweety the shivers it seems.

Break For ‘Khaleja’ Collections

After a lot of tug and war, ‘Khaleja’ managed to reach on the specified date but despite that, the talk has been quite mixed and divided. However, the good side is that main part of the collection centres is reporting steady collections so far. But now, it depends on the outcome of ‘Brindaavanam’

The market analysts say that if ‘Brindavanam’ is good then the collections of ‘Khaleja’ will surely dip and similarly, if ‘Brindavanam’ turns out to be a below average fare then ‘Khaleja’ has got a strong chance to pull the crowds at the last minute and get to a hit mark.

So, it has finally boiled down to what will be the fate of Mahesh and that too clinging on the outcome of NTR jr’s film. This could possibly become a break in collections from the film. from our end, we hope that both films continue without a hitch and make their own money.

Editing was neat. Costumes were fabulous and the art department was apt. Mahesh Babu was a total transformation from his regular image and he has scored the brownie points. Anushka from her end added to the glamour and romance part. Prakashraj was brief but good. Rao Ramesh was excellent, Shafi was very good, Ali and Sunil gave the light moments, Brahmi gave his own share of comedy. Raghu Babu was funny, Subbaraju could have been given some more length in his role, Veda was brief. The others contributed in their own way.

Conclusion:
Given the fact that it was Mahesh’s comeback film, the expectations were very high. While the first half was quite normal and never really revealed the plot, all the flaws got covered up during the second half. The real assets to the film were Mahesh Babu’s performance and the technical values. This is not much of a content driven film and it is more of a rich presentation that works. At the box office, this will be an above average grosser and if word of mouth works then it will become a big hit.

Verdict: Average.
