ANR said, “This is the 4th year since we started giving away the awards. The committee has decided to give the award to Vyjayanthimala Bali this year. She entered the film industry at the age of 16 and went onto become one of the finest actresses. She is giving stage performances even at this age. I did a Tamil film with her. She acted in Devadas (Hindi) and Jewel Thief. I feel privileged to present her with ANR award.”
Naga Suseela garlanded Vijayanthi. Nagarjuna presented her with a shawl. Venkat Akkineni presented her with a cheque for 4 lac rupees. Speaking Suresh Reddy presented her memento. T Subbirami Reddy gave her felicitation letter.”
Vyjayanthimala Bali said, “I would like to thank my husband Dr. Bali for encouraging me. I take this award as a recognition for my dances and acting. I like Telugu language a lot. Telugu film Jeevitham is my first film. I dubbed myself in Telugu for that film. Tamil poet Bharathiyar said that Telugu language is Sundara (beautiful) Telugu. I would like to thank Telugu mother for giving me this award. Jai Andhra Mata!’
No, she's not bad behind the wheel, it's just that Vidya Balan's enthusiastic ways can be a distraction for other motorists.
Recently, Vidya spotted director Raj Kumar Hirani at the Carter Road promenade in Bandra while she was in her car. The actress immediately rolled down the glass of her window and called out to the director. But Raju failed to notice her. Vidya then stopped her car and got down to meet him. And with that she brought the traffic to a standstill too!
The director Prabhu deva is brain drained with absolutely no story. The movie has its typical masalas - tiring fights and dances. The comedy sucks!Its time Vadivelu sheds some lbs before he can see himself on another movie. Nayan can do a better job just walking around with Victoria secret undergarments than barely dressing up and trying to act. Her facial expressions are horrible especially in dances and when she tries to say a dialogue. How long she can continue to just expose herself without even making an attempt to act. She can try that in different kind of movies, probably doubling her salary. Its time movies like this should be totally boycotted so actors stop bankrupting more producers. If at all, let them gamble with their own investments. Surprised how Vijay is lucky to be even among the top tamil actors. Wonder if at all the actors get to watch their own movie after completion even once. The movie is a total WASTE of time & money..
Villu is one the horriable movie I ever watched recently. Just by showing stuts, dance and same old masala formula they can't fool us..
Prabhu deva better do some good movie not just doing some mass movies which sucks..
There is no story line. not screen play.. We have seen old scripts many many many times.. Pathatic.
If vijay continues this formula he will be the one of the biggest lossers.. like Ajith.
Vijay can dance good and act.. but he contiues to do movies like this he soon will be out of the market..
Nayanthra she can be stippers.. she hardly wear any dress which is good for eyes.. she wears dresses like roadside hookers. Do some good stuff.. People will like it. Not just doing skin show.. One of songs which shot in germany where dance with white models is horrible.. she looks very dark..She will have think twice before signing any other movies..
Vadivalu jokes are OOKAAY.. Not very bad. But not very good.
Overall movie not good and its sucks
Villu , i watch the 2nd show in Malaysia. Review is the movie is a 3-star rated movie.
The hero : gud dance movement and provide a level of gud entertainment at the 1st half of the movie
the heroin - bad acting , too much skin shown , poor lips movement for song lyrics
both hero and heroin doesn’t not have a screen chemistry ( trisha and asin suit better for vijay )
the director - please get a good story and put sum thought into it, don’t direct a movie just for the sake of directing
the editor - very poor editing , looks like a school kid assignment ( cut n paste )
Screen play - there was non
movie, 1st half was okay .. a bit fun with vadivello and couple of the comedians.
2nd half - gud location at Thailand and Swiss.
climax – poor , dumb and absurd
- unnecessary mother sentiments , father sentiment and a stupid flash back.
a stronger screenplay and a much better climax shud made the movie better.
(review better then Kuruvi and ATM and worth watching once , and pls note some of the bloopers on the movie ... eg : once of the dancers dancing with a torn pants and etc )
An entertaining masala mix , with poor story board , editing and screen play , with some extent of humor.
Kamal Rashid Khan, also known as KRK, is indeed a happy man. His small time film DESH DROHI that made big news a couple of months due to it’s ’supposedly’ explosive theme and treatment is continuing to be in news this New Year as well. While the biggest of the film disappear within four weeks of making their money, DESH DROHI is ensuring that even amidst high profile releases like CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA, RAAZ - THE MYSTERY CONTINUES, LUCK BY CHANCE and VICTORY, it makes it’s presence felt. And that’s because the ban on DESH DROHI has been removed by High Court of Mumbai.
A Jagdish Sharma directed film; DESH DROHI was banned by the Maharshrtra state government for 60 days under the Bombay Cinema Regulation Act. This was because there were accusations that the movie was cashing in on the prevailing anti immigrant sentiments in Maharashtra. At that time, the head of Mumbai office of Central Board of Film Certification had opined that the movie had scenes that were derogatory to a particular community. Even Maharashtra Navnirman Sena had expressed their protests against the movie while the Mumbai police had served a notice for a special screening to find any objectionable content that might trigger unrest.
Due to the protests and problems with exhibitors, the release date of the movie was under immense trouble as first it was postponed by a week from 7th to 14th November and in addition it was also banned for release in Maharashtra. In the meantime, the producer of the movie had petitioned the Bombay High Court to lift the ban on the movie.
However, all is well for Kamal R Khan as not just has the ban been lifted from his film, even Section 6 (which resulted in the ban) has been scrapped. This section allowed the State Government to ban a film. But now as per this historical judgment for the whole film industry, in future no film can be banned by State Government. With the judgment in their favor, the makers of the film have intensified the release plans for the film and would now be bringing it on 23th Jan 2009 in Maharashtra, the day that also sees the release of RAAZ - THE MYSTERY CONTINUES and SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE.
