Aish: Team India is the BESSSTT
India defeated Sri Lanka by six wickets in the World Cup final at the Wankhede Stadium here to lift the World Cup for the second time since 1983
Take it easy policy: Prabhu Deva
The noted choreographer turned actor-director is on a high after his Urumi directed by Santhosh Sivan is turning out to be a hit and his performance is being appreciated by one and all.
He is currently directing an untitled film with Vishal and Sameera Reddy in the lead in Chennai.
Come August and Prabhu will start work on Sanjay Leela Bhansali produced Hindi film with Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha in the lead.
And back home, his Engeyum Kadhal snapped by Sun Pictures is ready for release.
The title card of the film in the trailer shows his name as Prabhu Dheva and when quizzed about an extra 'h' in his name, he grunted: "My spelling was always like this but everyone wrote it as Deva and I never bothered to clarify".
Name change or not, Prabhu has definitely changed. From a media shy person who answers in monosyllables, he is more candid. He says: "I want my films to speak and will not do anything beyond a limit, to promote myself or my films".
So what is he going to do on his birthday? Says the reticent Prabhu with a smile: "I have Engeyum Kadhal audio function organised by Sun Pictures in the morning and rest of the day, I will be with my parents and loved ones (smiles)".
Finally, we quiz him about how he reacts to media reports regarding his alleged marriage this year to Nayanthara he smiles mischievously, and ducks the question. That's Prabhu Deva for you.
Is Hurley, Warne’s relationship about to get back on track?
 Liz Hurley is apparently considering participating in Australian Dancing With The Stars. The beauty has been approached by the producers of the show – meaning her on-off relationship with former cricketer Shane Warne could be hotting up again. The swimwear designer visited Warne, 41, in Melbourne in February following a well-publicised flirtation on Twitter. “The Aussies are fascinated with her and her relationship with Shane, and Channel 7, which airs the show – Dancing With The Stars – is desperate to sign her up,” the Daily Mail quoted an insider as saying. Menahile, Hurley, 45, has filed for divorce from her estranged husband Arun Nayar on Friday, citing the textile heir’s ‘unreasonable behaviour’. | ||

Review
Story
Mahadevarayalu (Prabhu) is the central home minister who has a task at hand. He hails from royalty and they are entrusted with the job of getting the Rudrashoolam from Jackie (Jackie Shroff) since a pooja should happen on a particular eclipse day.
However, Fakhtoom (Pooja), an evil queen from Egypt has also got her eyes on the same weapon as she wants to conquer the world and avenge the death of her husband (Sonu Sood).
On the other hand, Mahadevarayalu has got his daughter Iswarya (Ileana). She wants to live a free life without any security so she escapes to have a holiday with her friends (Ali and others).
She is targeted by the group of Fakhtoom but in comes Shakti (NTR) as Iswarya’s guide. He protects her from time to time. Jwalamukhi, a divine diamond also involves in protecting them. However, Shakti has got a flashback and a connection with the Rudrashoolam. What is that connection? Who gets to win in the end forms the rest of the story.
Artists Performance:
NTR Junior does his bit as required. Though he is lacking those high energy levels and powerful dialogue delivery, he carries off his role in a matured way. However, the etching of his warrior character was poor.
Ileana looks sexy and appeals in the songs. Though her costumes were not upto the mark, she contributes in the glamour department.
Sonu Sood was okay, though his role was very limited he manages to make his presence felt.
Pooja Bedi was artificial, Nasser looks powerful, Jackie Shroff ended up as a joker with his weak characterization, the actor who did the role of Raaka was brawny, Prabhu was okay, Ali was average, Brahmanandam came and went, Krishna Bhagawan brought few smiles, S P Balu was standard, Manjari was ok. The others didn’t have much to offer.
Highlights:
* Visual grandeur
* Art department
* Music and lyrics
* Background score
* Ileana’s glamour
* Production values
Disappointments:
* Weak content
* Poor screenplay
* Logical lapse in the backdrop
* Song picturization
* Editing hiccups
* Directorial flaws
Final Analysis:
A good film with high budgets requires a strong team of technicians and effective execution of the plot. Here, the concept of the Sakti Peethams was appealing but then it takes material to execute the plot in the right way and bring conviction.
The responsibility of the director is to bring depth and feel into such storylines. For instance, the flashback episode dates back only 27 years back which means 1984. How can one expect people to come from Egypt with horses, have sword-fights etc during that year.
Another place where the Sakti Peethams are portrayed through library shots, what was the director thinking of? Saving some money? Well, that looked poor. There are many scenes where dramatism and high voltage of emotions is required but that was missing completely.
Except for one or two scenes, there is not a single scene which strikes a chord. Cinematic liberties are accepted but the director must concentrate on getting the audience to connect with his story first. After that, even if he shows something illogical, the audience won’t mind it. But right from the first scene, things have been stale and lacked any emotion.
At the box office, the openings might be good due to the star power and the hype about the budget but apart from that, the film is sure to fizzle out due to weak content.
