Bizarre on HYD roads

Static posters and billboards are being replaced with video displays gradually. But are those up for the environment and traffic in Hyderabad where there is no enough space for pedestrians? Occupied foot-paths and narrow turnings and mindless drivers making the life on roads unthinkable. Adding to this nuisance MCH gave green signal to these screens thinking as if it's one of development attributes of a metro city. There are such screens on the roads in many countries for many years. But they give respect to the rights of wlakers and provide enough space in the surroundings of screens to watch news and ads. But in the city like Hyderabad, accumulation of few people leads to bottleneck situation. Is it ideal to adopt these things without foresight on the name of develpment?

Idi chaala hot Guru!

Hats off to Mani Ratnam for his brilliant work for the movie Guru. He tried to present Dheeru Bhai as Guru Bhai. In the climax scenes Guru blames it on the implication of years-old law in trade and industrial sectors. He also justifies his deeds exceeding the rules as 'breaking rules for strengthening nation's economy' is no a big crime. Is Mani trying to say that there was / is need for revival of taxation and other rules and timely amendments to encourage the enterprenuers?

It's my turn: Bunny sports OTT

Gone were the days when heroes made a mass appeal with removing their garments below the waist. Megastar Chiranjeevi gets his lungi up in a song in the movie Mutamestri. After that his brother Pawan Kalyan made the people raise their eyebrows by wearing pants with open-zip over the other. Now Allu Arjun is poised to hoardings sporting his Tommy Hilfiger brief that appears below the navel and above his loose-fit jeans, for his latest flick 'Desamuduru'. Over The Top (male) is a quick pick from pop albums and punks in early 2000, which became popular in Hollywood and thus in Bollywood (with Saif in Salam Namaste)...as usual, finally came to Telugu Cinema.
