Mahesh is hypocritical MARD!



Prince Mahesh Babu is singing few lines in Bollywood initiative program MARD. The NGO in its program against crimes against women is coming with a song and Super Star Mahesh Babu will be singing some verses in the song. Many hailed his move and while the Tollywood industry is going overboard with Mahesh getting even more name and fame in Bollywood, his fans are over the moon with the developments prior to their hero's much anticipated entry.

However there is a feeling that Mahesh is an hypocritical MARD. In all his films he will teasing his heroines, make fun of them and look them down lowly. He is used to comment "osei..gesei.. and even utter dialogues 'sareeram anta koste kilo maansam ledu".Now the question is how can he raise his voice against crimes on women when he himself is playing the roles which teases women and look them down lowly.

Does Mahesh has courage to do away such scenes in his films or he cannot afford to lose his fans for a social cause.

Posing Naked for craze or charity?

,Is naked ambition still the most saleable one when it comes to charity?
ALL IN THE NAME OF CHARITY
Selling virginity I Catarina Migliorini, a 20-year-old Brazilian student, sold her virginity on auction for $780,000 to a Japenese businessman. Migliorini said 90% of her fee will go to a charity that builds homes in her native country. Erotic massage I The Swedish-based Welfare Group Disabled and Sexuality arranges services such as erotic massage for the physically disabled. A chunk of FABS funding comes from charity donations and a part from the Swedish government! The Naked Clowns for charity I The dress code of multiple sclerosis research fundraisers is their birthday suits. With a goal of raising $1,000,000, the Naked Clowns have been performing across America. Panties for Charity I People actually pay a healthy sum just to hold a pair of panties worn by famous people. Lost actress Evangeline Lilly’s panties were auctioned. Remember Tareq Salahi and his wife, the couple accused of crashing a White House state dinner? He’s now selling his estranged wife’s used underwear, saying the money he raised is going to charity. Reportedly, even Pooja Bhatt sold Sunny Leone’s underwear for charity. Pop singer Kylie Minogue’s bra made £2,400 pounds for a charity.
PHILANTHROPY TRUMPS TITILLATION
Pirelli Calendar fans, eagerly awaiting their annual dose of naked bodies, will be in for a shock this year. After 40 editions comprising nudes of the most famous and beautiful women in the world, the company has taken a U-turn. The 2013 edition features models known for their extensive charity work. Renowned photojournalist Steve McCurry has done away with nudes and focused his lenses on faces. He took the decision as he thought nudes would “dilute the message and compromise their work”


Modelactivist Summer Rayne Oakes shot by McCurry


Students from the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama raised money for autistic people; (centre) Ros Fawcett, one of the original calendar girls. Till date, they have raised over US $2million for leukaemia and lymphoma research; (right) The Bristol University netball team posed nude to pay for their fitness classes, sports kit etc...

Khiladi 786 review

Release date: 07 Dec 2012
Director : Ashish R Mohan
Producer : Twinkle Khanna, Himesh Reshammiya, Sunil Lulla
Music Director : Himesh Reshammiya
Starring: Akshay Kumar, Asin, Mithun Chakraborty

 

Akshay Kumar, who had given super hits in Rowdy Rathore and Oh My God, is back with his action entertainer Khiladi 786. Produced by Himesh Reshamiya, Khiladi 786′s music has been a chart buster, making this film the most awaited in recent times. After a huge promotion and publicity Khiladi 786 has finally released today. Let’s see how it is.

Story:

Mansukh(Himesh Reshamiya) is a wedding planner who works with his father in arranging marriages. But to his bad luck Mansukh ends up spoiling all the weddings with his silly mistakes. After one famous wedding turns into complete chaos, his father kicks him out of the house. A disappointed Mansukh leaves to Mumbai and decides to some how get a high profile wedding fixed, and impress his father.

As soon as he lands in Mumbai, Mansukh gets into an argument with Asin, who is the sister of a famous don TTT(Mithun Chakravarthy). TTT, who is obsessed with his sister, wants to get her married at any cost. Taking this reason as his advantage Manuskh lies to TTT that he has a great marriage proposal, and reveals about Bhahattar Singh(Akshay Kumar) On the other hand Bahattar Singh is happy go lucky thief, who also wants to get married and falls to Mansukh’s lies about this match. What is Mansukh’s lie? and How does he get both the families together, forms the rest of the story.

Plus Points:

Himesh Reshamiya, who has written the story does a decent job. Though the plot is predictable, he manages an intriguing story line. Akshay Kumar looks good and does his part well. Himesh Reshamiya steals the show here. He is extremely good in comedy scenes and plays the sheer anchor’s role. Songs of the film are a big bonus and will surely attract good crowds. First half of the movie has some fun elements. Asin’s chemistry with Akshay looks good on screen. Comedy scenes between Akshay and Mithun Chakravarthy are worth a mention. This kind of entertainment will surely be liked by the front bencher’s and mostly in the interior parts of India.

Minus Points:

Khladi 786 is one film, which has over the top moments in huge doses. The action is over rated to the core, and some scenes have been dragged out for no reason. For the first time, Akshay Kumar some how has a weak role in the film. He does not have much to do in the film and appears mostly during the fights and songs.

Though the story is good, its execution is where the film falters. The film slows down in the second half and looses it way . Over the top comedy, stunts and drama will not be liked by some urban audience. Some basic loopholes and character justifications have been missed in the film.

Technical Aspects:

The movie has some funny one liners, which are written quite well. Songs are a big plus for this film. Himesh Reshamiya has given a memorable score and Hooka Bar, Long Drive and Balma are sure shot chart-busters, which have been shot extremely well. Dialogues are decent and so is the editing. The whole look of the film is good, and some action scenes have been choreographed well.

Screenplay of the film could have been a lot stronger. One can say the director has been completely involved himself in giving this film a complete masala look and in the process failed to add the main ingredient.

Verdict:

On the whole, Khiladi 786 is one film which has the so called masala elements to the core. Superb songs and decent comedy are sure shot plus points. On the flip side, some overrated performances and over the top sequences spoil the fun. If you are some one who loves masala entertainers and some exaggerated situations, Khiladi 786 is just a one time watch only for its songs.
