Dhada Postmortem & A Open letter to Team Associated by Mudra

Many of my friends, when I asked “what kind of a movie is DHADA, to which genre does it belong to?” , responded very strangely few saying “a thriller”, “an action packed”, “an action packed thrilling entertainer”, “Chaitu’s first Mass movie”, “a stylish movie”. Well, this was a pre-release discussion to just know sort of expectations. Post release, after me watching the movie, inquired myself about the same and found very interesting facts.

A movie to be called as a thriller, it should have at least couple of thrilling moments, twists and turns which would amuse the viewer, DHADA doesn’t contain a single of such. May be the writer-director-producer-hero, excited about the so-called Interval bang when penned on a paper or in discussions, but it is so pale onscreen after execution gaining a silly sarcastic laugh after the lights were on indicating a time for the break between boring journey.

An Action Packed Entertainer serves the purpose with a minimum of enjoyable action, name it stunts, fights, chases, bike/car races. Here DHADA has a couple of such, but with no purpose or use, unless they are backed well with any lead or strong cause intended they can’t entertain rather gave a feel of amateurish.

What is use of Style in a movie when there is no substance at all? For that matter even the style is of substandard, when it comes to taking.

A Telugu “mass” cinema is one which enthralls viewers & especially entices fans, with their hero confronting the villain directly or indirectly with his own actions, reacts daringly to the challenges thrown by villain, dashing encounter with the baddies etc, unlike a passive common man, above all who gives a fit for nothing impression without any aim/ambition for himself.

Last but not least, the basic need of a commercial entertainer is an engaging entertainment in the name of enjoyable comedy, irrespective of freshness in subject-story-scenes etc. DHADA scores a big, BIG ZERO in this aspect. The shabby screenplay with forcibly inserted disgusting comedy irritates one to the CORE!

Ideally Telugu Commercial Cinema runs defying the logic but when entertainment takes back seat then reasoning for flaws in movie takes front seat. That’s what happened with an IIT –IIM film maker aspirant’s (AJAY BHUYAN) Hollywoodish Telugu Movie which has just a wood feel but nothing else.

Few Questions out of the Doubts Bank of DHADA:

1. First & foremost we would like to know the Genre of this movie?


2. What is the story of DHADA, of course a brief, just subject line would be fine? Is it making any sense to you?


3.  Is there anyone who can be called as HERO in your movie? Mind it: A Hero / Protagonist of a movie have an aim/ambition throughout the movie and that should be the crux of a commercial deliverable. [Love, Revenge … etc] Did your Hero, Vishwa has any goal/aim/ambition for 2hrs out of 2:20 or 2:30 hrs of the movie? Except towards Climax rescuing his brother?


4.  What is your taste of Comedy? Is it Hollywoodish again? Where did you see one allowing a Butcher’s knife inside a prison cell? [Ali owns this in your DHADA, that too in America]


5. Do you have any idea of who Brahmanandam is and what can he do to a movie? Watch Dhee, Ready, Krishna, they show you if he is utilized properly how an average movie sets the boxoffice on fire!


6. What is the Characterization written for your Heroine? A multi millionaire’s daughter who weeps weeps weeps throughout her life from childhood for losing her mother, but wearing all designer outfits with creative hair dos!


7. Who shot that stupid video, of Heroine’s mother’s death scene, when her car was hit by a heavy vehicle and everything went under water? Is that Handy cam so waterproof and is found from sea/ocean?


8. How can you think in so creative way to find a Handy cam from Sea making the video print on a film reel having a Film Projector in Heroine’s half-built dark room and keep watching it day & night, throughout the life but never completely?


9. How actually did Heroine’s mother die? How did Heroine miss to watch the video clip given by Hero when her lifelong task, given by you, is watching that stupid video since childhood?


10. Heroine carries a Digital Cam (???If yes) takes some pictures and uses a dark room color lab for printing, wow so creative!!! How is it possible Mr.Creative?


11. How did you think that audience will connect to your Protagonist? What is he doing on-screen, other than roaming on roads? At least after a discussion scene at home with Sri Ram and Sameeskha of going back to India, if it was shown as Chaitu agrees to stay back with them and starts his job search or doing a job in middle etc it would help one connect to him and of course he having a mission is crucial.


12. How can one get connected from the Target Audience, to the story, especially the Villian’s business (so Sick) and it getting impacted by Hero (that too unknowingly … it means no chance to show heroism too), villain chasing for Hero, Hero has no sign about it, not even a hide & seek so pale & passive …?


13. Who has given you the idea or the inspiration for multiple climaxes during the climax of this movie? Did anyone taught in your IIT & IIM courses about the fire accident climax scene? Forget about education, where is the COMMON SENSE?

DHADA shattered all the dreams of those fans who wished a new image for Chaitu helping in creating a new and strong base of his own among mass-action movie lovers. A movie turning out to be a Flop is far better than a movie taking such a bad shape throwing the fans in to depression. Fans are the strength of Telugu Cinema and Telugu Film Stars, if they get cheated by their idols; it’s inevitable for their vent outs as well.
One find the means to vent out through Discussion Forms, Blog Posts, Open Letters, Tweets, Scraps in Orkut, Posts in Facebook, SMS, Calls etc. Must mention, a vent out is not just sharing one’s frustration, but a wish, a hope if it goes to the notice of their idols and associated, would help in making them realize and reinvent themselves to deliver meaningful goods, striking back with sense of perfection.

In this instance, who owns the reason for MISERABLE FAILURE of DHADA?

Who should take the blame? Who should learn the Game? Who should understand what?

Majority of the viewers and fans blamed KAMAKSHI Team for delivering this scrap. They have reasons to justify too for blaming the team, as they got badly hit by KEDI and in no time, got DHADA a shocking effect on Chaitu’s upcoming career. I don’t go against such fan’s words, but at the same time, can’t 100% accept blaming on ONLY Kamakshi TEAM for the failures of their movies with Nag & Chaitu.

Nag’s career did not start & shape up just because of KAMAKSHI Movies. Also KAMAKSHI Team did not start their production house with Nag, but of course they continued working with only Nag & Family, for reasons known and unknown. They both joined hands after they independently
got their own recognition as Hero & Production House respectively.  Now Nag is a Senior Hero and KAMAKSHI is one of the reputed banners in Telugu Film Industry. Of course the movies coming out from their combination are giving bitter results many-a-times, but DO give a thought:
Can they move ahead with the movie production unless there is a “Go-Ahead” from Nag? There might be a situation when Nag is in a plan to do a movie with so & so Director, existing or giving a chance to new one, and happened to give that Project to KAMAKSHI to Produce. Or there might be another situation where KAMAKSHI got Nag’s dates for a Project and started looking for Scripts & Directors, when found can they move ahead with Production without getting Nag’s approval? In either the cases just try giving a thought: Can they move ahead with the movie production unless there is a “Go-Ahead” from Nag? So it is crystal clear that either Nag liked someone’s script/work and gave it to Kamakshi  or Kamakshi got a script/director and took Nag’s approval for the movie to shape up and come to fans. So when coming to the FEEL & FATE of movie at  box-office, why is the credit/blame going only to the Producer? [Excluded Director in this context, because most of the recent directors in this combination are either new or upcoming.]

My request to each of this combination is “Kindly don’t let your friendship play a predominant role in working out the movie combinations, if any such case, in accepting or rejecting a script or a director”.

NAG: The above is mainly for you. KAMAKSHI is one such banner which is dedicated to only you & your family, but they alone receiving the STONE & BRICKS by the movie lovers and fans when any movie misfires, is not fair. So request you to let this flow in your words, of course rephrased, in one way or the other, in any interview or speech in function.

SIVA PRASAD REDDY / CHANDAN REDDY: Don’t play with fans emotions. Every time when your movie misfires fans vent out their frustration finding out means, but give a thought, it is a reaction to your actions during the movie progress talks and especially audio launch hungamas. You promise fans, every time not just a good and successful movie but THE BEST AND BEST HIT in connection with RECORDS & CENTERS. Give a thought, how bad fans would feel, when Mahesh’s Sister Manjula gave a Milestone kind of good movie “Ye Maaya Chesave” and Arjun’s Father Allu Aravind gave first best commercial success “100% Love” but you being Best Friends, part of family kind and AKKINENIFANS, couldn’t even take care of a proper script and director, that too when Chaitu is working hard putting sincere efforts to shape up a better career. Just think, how many times, a movie from KAMAKSHI is coming out during the times when Heroes career is going good with couple of good films.

Do Remember: Fans can digest & excuse FLOPS but not BAD FILMS. It’s time to stop giving promises and make your work speak loud than just speeches and false updates

CHAITU: You have a long way to go, just started your career. Though successes and failures are part of one’s career, don’t take it to heart BUT, DO TAKE IT TO YOUR MIND to learn from both successes and failures, what to do, what not, how to, how not etc. Spend time in knowing and learning some filmmaking concepts, script knowledge, so that you can have it as a helping hand in script selections not leading you to give a nod to BULL SHIT
scripts like DHADA, which is million miles far from NATIVITY and top of all COMMON SENSE.

IMPACT of DHADA kind of  BULLSHITS:

Nag & Chaitu, am sure you would be afraid again at least for some long in near future about hearing a script from an ABSOLUTE NEW COMER and giving him a chance to make the film with you. This effect would directly or indirectly close the doors to many aspirants who dream to work with you having genuine ideas and stuff with them. How Pity!!!

Fans, Buyers and common audience are now afraid of KAMAKSHI + NAG, KAMAKSHI + CHAITU Combinations. If a movie comes in near future, either it would go for loss coverage for buyers or getting lesser offers, or resulting poor openings or luke warm response from fans and audience. As Kamakshi is a banner which can take up films regularly, I don’t wish for “no movies” in this combination because it would impact
tollywood boxoffice revenue and dependant families in film industry rather wish for films with proper care like never before.

All the Very Best to all your  future endeavors! Hope this write-up serves the purpose in making you to think for a while & remember forever.

Tail Piece: Audience gets a FLOWER and STONE along with every TICKET they purchase for a movie, it all depends on you which one to opt for!

Bottom Line: Do Remember: Fans can digest & excuse FLOPS but not BAD FILMS. It’s time to stop giving promises and make your work speak loud than just speeches and false updates

With Love,

A Passionate Movie Lover.

R.I.P. Shammi Kapoor

And thus passes away a legend of Hindi cinema.

Though the magic of Shammi Kapoor was experienced by generations away from the one I grew up in. His songs, and the stylish, light-hearted portrayal of the romantic hero was quite popular during my growing up years too thanks to weekly movies and the chitrahaar sessions on DD.

In the later years, his warm grandfather image in ads like Pan Parag and a few movies was also quite endearing.

May you rest in peace!

Leaving you with some super awesome, unforgettable, evergreen melodies that have been synonymous with the epic that is Shammi Kapoor. And this is going to be one long play list - a good companion for your Sunday...

- Tumse achha kaun hai...

- Badan pe sitaare lapete hue...

- Yeh chaand sa roshan chehera...

- Deewana hua badal...

Baar baar dekho...

- Kahin na kahin...

- Akele akela kahan jaa rahe ho...

- O haseena zulfon waali...

- Deewana mujha sa nahin...

- Tumne mujhe dekha...

- Aaj kal tere mere pyaar ke charche...

- Aaja aaja main hun pyaar tera

- Aasman se aaya farishta...

And I could go on and on...what are your favorite Shammi Kapoor numbers? Some big ones that I'm forgetting?

BANK ROBBER LEE GRACE DOUGHERTY'S DIRTY PIX!

Lee Grace Dougherty is one-third of a trio of siblings on a psychotic cross-country death wish robbery spree. Lee Gracie (Gracie), 29, and brothers Ryan Dougherty, 21, and Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, robbed a bank in Georgia then got in a shootout with cops in Florida. Recent reports suggest they could be in Colorado. Even their mom has pleaded with them to surrender. But on a positive note, Gracie is apparently a former stripper and has a whack of saucy pix on flickr: DOUGHERTY SIBLINGS IN COLORADO?

Lee Grace Dougherty reportedly stripped down for photo shoot before alleged crime spree

Lee Grace Dougherty

(CBS) - Before she allegedly robbed a bank with her two brothers, Lee Grace Dougherty reportedly stripped down for a revealing photo shoot.

TMZ reports that the 29-year-old, a professional exotic dancer, was approached by some friends who host poker games who asked if she would waitress at their events and pose nude for their promotional materials.
A source close to the photo shoots reportedly told TMZ that Lee posed for some of the photos as recently as July 29, less than a week before the Georgia bank robbery. According to the source, Dougherty was not paid for the "modeling" work.
Days later, Dougherty became an outlaw after her and her siblings allegedly shot at a Florida police officer and robbed a Georgia bank.
A weeklong nationwide search for the fugitive siblings ended in Colorado when they were spotted in Colorado Springs and caught after crashing their vehicle during a car chase and shooting at cops, according to police.
The three are suspected of firing at least 20 shots at a Florida officer who tried to pull them over for speeding in a chase at speeds up to 100 mph.
Hours later, three people wearing masks robbed a bank in Valdosta, Ga., about 210 miles north. One robber brandished an AK-47 assault rifle while another was photographed by a security camera waving a machine pistol, the FBI said.

 

image reveal dramatic moments of Dougherty gang capture

The two brothers and sister under arrest in southern Colorado following a nationwide manhunt that ended with a chase, crash and shooting on I-25 earlier this week face a court appearance Friday.
Lee Grace Dougherty, Dylan Dougherty Stanley and Ryan Dougherty all face advisement in Walsenburg court on charges including first degree attempted murder of a police officer.
They're accused of firing a weapon at the Walsenburg police chief Wednesday just prior to their arrests.
The action was dramatic during the moments of the Dougherty gang's apprehension. Conversations between witnesses and 911 dispatchers prove that.

Judge tells Dougherty gang more charges could be coming

A judge on Friday advised three Florida siblings accused in a sensational multi-state crime spree that they could face attempted murder charges in a second Colorado county for firing on police during a high-speed chase, court documents show.

Huerfano District Court Judge Claude Appel ruled that there was enough evidence to hold Ryan and Lee Grace Dougherty and Dylan Dougherty Stanley on suspicion of attempted murder and first-degree assault "pending the filing of criminal charges."
The two brothers and their sister were advised of the possible charges Friday via a video hook-up from the jail in neighboring Pueblo County where they are being held on $1.25 million bond each.
Friday's action mirrors the attempted murder and first-degree assault on a peace officer charges prosecutors in Pueblo, Colorado, said on Thursday they are contemplating against the Doughertys there.
The siblings were wanted for allegedly shooting at a Florida police officer and robbing a Georgia bank when they fled the Southeast, and became the target of a nationwide manhunt that captured the attention of much of the country.
The trio was arrested on Wednesday in southern Colorado after a high-speed chase and shootout with police from multiple law enforcement agencies.
An arrest warrant affidavit filed in the latest case said a pursuing police officer heard "the distinct sound of gun fire" and saw one of the suspects firing out the right side of a speeding Subaru Impreza.
Investigators said they believe Ryan Dougherty was driving the car while Dylan Dougherty Stanley fired at pursuing officers with an AK-47.
The three fugitives were captured when their vehicle crashed while trying to avoid stop strips deployed on the highway, police said.
Dylan Dougherty Stanley was arrested inside the wrecked car and Lee Grace and Ryan Dougherty were apprehended following a foot chase, police said.
Lee Grace Dougherty was shot and wounded by a police officer after she leveled a weapon at him. The former topless dancer admitted that she "pointed a gun at the cop," according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Appel also issued a gag order prohibiting any attorneys, police or others involved in the investigation from making "extrajudicial" statements about the case
