1058 What we ought not to have learnt from Hollywood, we have aped shamelessly-- Casting Couch

I greatly appreciate Ms. Sri-Reddy, actress of Telugu language Film Industry (also called Tollywood) for her courage in belling the proverbial Cat- of "Casting Couch". Hollywood is the Role Model for Bollywood, the Mumbai (Bombay) Filmy World. And Bollywood is the Role Model for the Film Industries of the Languages of Rest of India. Of course, "Casting Couch" might not have started with Harvey Weinstein. It might have started in the very first year of the Advent of the Hollywood Film Industry, and nobody might have bothered to notice it. For the 21st Century World, the allegations against Mr. Harvey Weinstein might have popularised the phrase of 'Casting Couch'. Italian model Ambra Gutierrez, seems to be the first Actress, who deserves to be credited with the courage of 'Belling the Cat'.

The linked news report of Hindustantimes we can take as the first Reaction/Response from BOllywood, consequent to the Ringing Bells in Hollywood against Mr. Harvey Weinstein.

This HindusthanTimes news report, narrated the experiences of ten Bollywood Actors and Actresses who have been offered and narrowly escaped the sufferings of Casting Couch, or gone through the sufferings.

One particular paragraph from this News Report is worth quoting, and examining:--

...
10. Preeti Jain In July 2004, struggling actor Preeti Jain lodged a complaint against director Madhur Bhandarkar. Jain alleged that Bhandarkar had raped her 16 times between 1999 and 2004, under the pretext of marrying her and casting her in his films. The Supreme Court in 2012 quashed the rape case filed against Bhandarkar by the starlet eight years ago. Follow @htshowbiz for more.

Present Context: Mr. Pavan Kalyan, Telugu film Hero, and Active Politician, advising Ms. ShriReddy the Actress who belled the Cat of Casting Couch, in Telugu Film Industry, TO GO TO COURT, INSTEAD OF GOING TO TV CHANNELS.

Link to what Mr. Pavan Kalyan is reported to have said. Click here to go to https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movies/news/dont-protest-on-streets-go-to-the-police-pawan-kalyan-tells-sri-reddy-activists-slam-the-actor-politicians-hypocrisy/articleshow/63773062.cms.

“Evaraina thappu cheste, TV deggariki osthe laabham ledu, court lo case eskomani cheppandi. Ee sensationalism kanna, evairaithe vallaki anyayam chesaro, vallaki court lo, police station lo, chattalunnayi... case veyyamani cheppadi... appudukuda jaraganappudu alantivi chesthe betterga untadi ani nenu bhavisthunanu,” said PK.

(If anybody has been exploited, there is no point in going to TV channels. Insted let them file a case in the courts. Instead of seeking to sensationalise (referring to the nude protest) the issue, they must approach the police and the court of law.)

ybrao-a-donkey's personal views, which are not intended to be imposed on others

As an individual Indian Citizen, Mr. Pavan Kalyan has a right to express his own Opinions and views, under the Fundamental Right of Freedom of Expression. But, we should not forget that he is not just an individual citizen entitled to his right of Freedom of Expression, but also HE IS A PROMINENT MEMBER OF THE TELUGU FILM INDUSTRY CHARGING MILLIONS AND CRORES FOR A ROLE IN FILM, WHICH INVOLVES WORK OF A FEW MONTHS. Very often, 80% of cost of production of a Telugu film, probably Bollywood Film, and even Hollywood film, happen to be the Fat Remuneration of Millions and Crores paid to the Film Heros, and Directors. Their Remuneration is disproportionately high. 80% of the Indian Films and probably Hollywood Films tend to be filth and trash, because the Producers and Distributors have to recover back their moolah. Yet, 80% of the films fail at Box Office. Thus almost all our Heros, and some of Directors are becoming the cause for production of Shit in films and Beneficiaries of Shit in films, while millions and crores of common people are robbed of their hard-earned money through daily-wages or sweat-shop occupations.

I am tempted to use abusive words such as 'shit', 'filth', and 'pigs' to depict the greed of our producers, directors, and Heros. But I shall not use them any more. Reason: I do not want to insult pigs or filth. Indian street pigs do a Great Service of Scavengers of our Streets in Slums, though the pigs also be serving as a medium for spread of vector mosquito born diseases like meningitis, dengue, and chikungunya.

This subject of Casting Couch and 'demand for commitment (another word for demanding surrender to the lude desires of Producers/Directors/Heros/Powers-that-be who dish out roles to Female Character Artists) is a 1000 page subject, requiring 100 blog posts of 10 pages each. Yet, this will have to be handled with perseverance and diligence.

Question: Mr. Pavan Kalyan took nearly one month to express his lop-sided view. You too seem to be neglecting this perilous and pressing problem of Indian Film Industry. Even now, you seem to be writing too little and too late.

Ans: I have initially thought that all these happenings are gyrations, convolutions of the bourgeoisie socio-economics (in my mother tongue Telugu language bUrjuvA vikArAlu బూర్జువా వికారాలు). Bourgeoisie Spasms can be cured only by replacing the bourgeoisie Economies and Societies with Truly Proletarian Marxist/Socialist/Communist Democratic Economies and Societies. Once the Capitalist Economies and Societies get replaced with Working Class Economies and Societies, where inequalities are not allowed to sprout, grow, exist, exploit, reproduce, and never die. Members of Working Classes will have to be very alert and act well-in-time, lest Inequalities arise and penetrate even into Truly Socialist Societies. Vigilance and United Action are the Prices to be paid by Working Class for their Resurrection to Equality.

Question: Don't you view MAA (Movie Artists Association) as a Working Class Organisation?

First, for the benefit of the Non-Telugu Readers all over India, and the World, who do not know anything about MAA, I shall give a link to their 'About-Page': Click here to go to http://www.maastars.com/about-maa/. I also quote below the first few paragraphs from their About Page, to get started:

Movie Artists’ Association was formed on 04-10-1993 with Padmabhushan, Dr. Chiranjeevi as its Founder President and Padma Bhushan Dr.Akkineni Nageswara Rao as Chief Advisor. The term of the office is fixed at 2 years. The Other Office bearers were Sri Gummadi Venkateswara Rao and Sri M.Prabhakara Reddy as Vice President’s, Sri M. Murali Mohan as Secretary, Sri M. Balaiah and Sri K.J.Saradhi as Joint Secretary’s and Sri M.Mohan Babu as Treasurer took charge of the office.

The Presidential post was held by stalwarts like Superstar Krishna, Sri Nagarjuna, Sri Mohan Babu, Sri Naga Babu and the post of General Secretary by Sri A.V.S, Late P.K.Mallikarjuna Rao, Sri Ahuthi Prasad A.J.V. etc., Since then many stalwarts of the Telugu Film Industry have contributed their mite to the betterment of MAA in various ways.

The Association has started with about 50 Artists’ as its members and now swelled to about 700 members, which clearly shows their confidence in the Association.

972 Can a poor country like India afford to spend Rs. 10 billion on a single movie?

The eight day old Movie Bahubali-2 a Conclusion, is reported to have collected approx. Rs. 8 billion (Rs. 800 Crore) in its eight days life. Print News papers, TV Channels, internet pages are agog with predictions that it will collect Rs. 10 billion (Rs. 1,000 crore) shortly. During the last fortnight there is a big hullabaloo about the Greatness of the contents of Bahubali2 in Press Media, Electronic Media, and Net. It is said that honey-bees live 45 days. Average life span of a worker ant is about five weeks. While the Bahubali-1 Beginning was reported to have gathered big moolah in its first release, it is reported that the same film's second release in March 2017, received little attention and money. Virually with all the newspapers, TV channels, net pages, day-in day-out hammering out the merits of the Bahubali-2, it has become very difficult to delineate and distinguish between GENUINE NEWS and PAID NEWS (advertisements converted into news, of course for an extra payment to the Media).

India is a very poor country, where millions of people find it very difficult to get two square meals a day. Bulk of its population is Working Class. Everybody knows big budget films try to make a quick buck, by jacking up prices of cinema tickets in the first week of release of the film, as if the film will vanish into thin air during the second week. Of course, producers and distributors blame the Exhibitors (Theatre owners), for the black-marketing of Cinema Tickets. I have come across hotel workers, auto-drivers, shop clerks and sales persons, who hardly earn about Rs. 6,000 to Rs. 9,000/- per month (Rs. 200 to 300 per day), shelling out as much as Rs. 2,000/- (about 6 to 8 days wage) to see a film of about 3 hours. They do not know what they are doing.

Some Important Questions

1. Abnormally huge remuneration paid to Heros.
2. Preferance to shot films abroad, even when suitable Indian Locations are available.
3. High rents charged by theatre owners.
4. High profile media publicity.
5. Creating unnecessary sets and settings, spending millions, just to create scenes of a few minutes, which are later, often abandoned or dismantled, resulting in loss of huge quantities of materials such as plywood.
6. Studying History, Researching into veracity and tenability of Legends, Mythologies, and Histories are more important than indulging into fictitious and imaginary questions like "Why did Kattappa kill Bahubali?".
7. May be under evil influences from Hollywood films, Indians seem to have created self-illusions that "SMALL" is not beautiful, and "Small Films" are not financially viable.
8. Media, especially those firms and Companies which have sold financial strength, should not run for dosh from excess crazy advertising and greedy-unhealthy advertising campaigns, simply because there are some millions on golden platters.
9. A dozen Joy-generating, and message-filled (not preaching) films can be produced with the same investments of one single film like Bahubali Beginning and Bahubali-2 Conclusion. Some of them will definitely succeed, though some may fail. This Film World has not become totally black and dismal. When small films are produced, risks can be spread and hedged.
10. On the other hand see: If the big budget films like Bahubal Beginning and Bahubali Conclusion tank at Box Office? In fact, had NOT the producers, directors, distributors, exhibitors have not indulged in numerous unscrupulous marketing practices for creating illusions and craze among the spectators and the people, the two films might have flopped. It is not my wish that they should flop. We should anticipate the possibility of their flopping, and their consequences. At least some lives of some distributors will be wrecked. We can see the lessons from the said-to-be failure of Mr. Pavan Kalyan's films- Gabbar Singh, and Katama Rayudu. Let us wish that Film Industry in toto, and the billions of people across the world are not hijacked and dumped into craze and idiocy, by foolish business advertising and publicity propagandas.

892 Why didn't this idea of Pavan Kalyan cannot get elected or HAS not GOT elected as a sarpaNch, occur to Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu and Mr. Narendra Modi, when they invited him to dais during 2014 Elections?

I am not sure about American Media, whether it calls a spade, a spade. But it incurred the wrath of Mr. Donald Trump the new 2017-21 American President, according to whom their Media under-reported the number of people who attended the Inaugural Ceremony of Mr. Donald Trump. As far as Indian Media is concerned, and in particular about Telugu Media conducts itself, in a safe manner, ensuring that they do not hurt the expectations of the Powers that be, whether at Delhi or at Hyderabad / Amaravati (Velagapudi). The Context for this comment of mine is: Mr. Pavan Kalyan, a Top Telugu film star, and Jana Sena Party leader, used his Tweets for making a scathing criticism of Andhra Pradesh Government not making adequate efforts to get the Special Category Status for the State of Andhra Pradesh, as promised in United Andhra Pradesh Bifurcation Act. Unable to bear or hide his agony, Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu, immediately rushed to Telugu Media with his remarks:--

"...Do any of those speaking about SCS have any experience in administration? Have they worked at least as a Sarpanch of a village? Development would come to a standstill if we keep on fighting with the Centre ..."

Read more at: Click here to go to https://www.telugu360.com/chandrababu-modi-shared-stage-person-hasnt-worked-sarpanch/. While some TV channels showed "live", the remarks of Mr. Nara Chandra Babu Naidu, none of those TV channels or any other channel, appear to have made the observation which this website Telugu360.com has made as under:--

"... While he definitely cannot risk to tarnish his government’s image, but isn’t Pawan Kalyan the same person who was sharing dais with the now PM and CM during the election campaign?

What experience does Nara Lokesh have? Why is Naidu planning to induct his son as MLC instead of making him elected representative? Isn’t Lokesh the guy who blamed Jagan for reduction of land prices in Amaravati? What experience does he have in administration? There are two TDP Union Ministers and yet Naidu compromised on SCS. Before questioning someone’s capability, a self-introspection is needed. NTR despite being an actor, provided the first educated government to Andhra Pradesh with Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers as his ministers. TDP has now a DGP who says 26th January is Independence Day and a leader who says B.com has Physics. The CM doesn’t trust home grown civil engineers and brings in foreign architects but expects Nobel Prize from students. Moreover, he has been roping in movie directors for designing Amaravati and not the civil engineers who have the expertise. .."

I greatly appreciate their frankness, and courage. Some critics may say that it is TACTLESSNESS. In today's world, calling a spade, a spade, is regarded as tactlessness. Okay, in a business sense of BUSINESS PRUDENCE, it may be tactlessness, because there is a danger of circari (Governmental) favors such as advertisements, free/concessional site in Capital Region of Amaravati, some free/concessional train passes, invitations for some circari Media Conferencees etc. etc. not reaching them. Then, they will have the satisfaction of acting with COURAGE AND CONVICTION. This website has also published the photo of the dais which Mr. Naidu and Mr. Narendra Modi shared with Pavan Kalyan. I do not know whether Shri Naidu or his CMO read/study/see this tv360.com web page or not. If they see this web page it will be well and good. Else, Shri Naidu can look into mirror his own-self, for at least 15 minutes every day, for introspection, which he severely lacks.

Note: I am not a supporter of Mr. Jagan, or anybody else. Nor am I, a Naidu-hater. This is not a hate-blog of Mr. Naidu or Mr. Modi..

ABOUT Mr. Lokesh not getting elected as Sarpanch

Now, Mr. Nara Lokesh is not hoi polloi. He is Prince Bhuvaneshwari putra Satakarni.

ABOUT LATE NTR SENIOR (FORMER CM OF ANDHRA PRADESH) BRINGING IN DOCTORS ETC.

Late N.T. Rama Rao did not lag behind in NEPOTISM. By making Mr. Nara Chandra Babu Naidu as the DE FACTO CHIEF MINISTER OF ANDHRA PRADESH (of course till Ms. Lakshmi Parvati tried / was allowed to try to replace him), Late NTR proved that he was like his predecessor Congress Politicians. NT Rama Rao paid the price for trusting Mr. Naidu, just as Messrs. L.K. Advani and Murali Manohar Joshi paid the price for encouraging Shri Narendra Modi. Of course, they received their consolation/token gifts of PADMA VIBHUSHANS. NT Rama Rao didn't get Padma Vibhushan or Bharat Ratna, though occasionally Mr. Naidu feigns/pretends of trying for Bharata Ratna for NTR. Late NTR was also very much conscious of his own castes, and instead of discontinuing the caste based politics of the previous Governments, he had brought in new caste equations into the administration of the then United Andhra Pradesh.

Question: Is the casteism of Late NTR relevant today?

Ans: It is very much relevant, because RAMPANT CASTEISM IS THE ROOT CAUSE FOR THE BIFURCATION OF UNITED ANDHRA PRADESH, into Telangana and Residual Andhra Pradesh. Both Mr. KCR and Mr. Naidu, are carrying on their agenda of caste and family politics. Mr. J.C. Divakar Reddy, former Congress Minister , and current TDP MP from Anantapur, appears to blame Reddys for the injustices to Rayala Seema. His comment seems to intend to please Mr. Naidu, for reasons known only to Mr. Reddy. Casteism is a disease common to all the LANDED CASTES OF ANDHRA PRADESH AND TELANGANA STATE.

Question: Your observation seems to be wrong. Mr. Naidu gave Dy. Chief Ministerships to one BC, and one SC. He didn't give Dy. Chief Minister posts to his own caste persons!

Ans: Both Mr. K.E. Krishna Murthy and Mr. Nimmakayala Chinna Rajappa are Dy. Chief Ministers only on paper. Though they handle important portfolios like Revenue and Home, do they really have any say in the Cabinet? When Mr. Naidu was on his visit to Davos, who in the Capital Region of Andhra Pradesh, spoke like a Chief Minister ? In my personal view (it may be wrong), Mr. Devineni Uma Maheswara Rao, Irrigation Minister, acted like a Dy. Chief Minister or probably as the De Facto Chief Minister.

About CM not trusting Indian Engineers / Architects

TV360's comment is right.

About CM bringing in Film Directors to design Amaravati

Reply: I support TV360's view.

876 WE DO NOT NEED ROBBERS WITH CHECKED-LUNGIS, PATTA-BELTS TO THEIR WAIST, WITH KNIVES PIERCED INTO THEIR CHEEKS, CURLED HAIRSTYLES, TO ROB PEOPLE!!!

Though this particular blog post, prima facie appears to pertain to Telugu (spoken by 100 million people globally) film industry, India, the problem of atrophy and decay persists in almost all languages of the world, in almost all countries. The current rot and atrophy in Telugu film field, is robbing Telugu people all over the world, of their hard-earned millions of bucks and Rupees. Context and Trigger: On the occasion of Sankranti festival (Jan. 14, 2017, the day on which Sun enters the Constellation Capricorn, in its Northern journey towards the Line of Cancer 23 degrees North of equator), two top stars of Telugu film industry are releasing their 100th and 150th films with much noise and visual pollution. The extremities of propaganda and publicity they are resorting to, spending millions of bucks, indicates that they are too nervous and timid. Both the stars, Shri Chiranjeevi, and Shri Balakrishna are established stars with several years of experience and standing. Both are politicians. Shri Chiranjeevi is a former Union Minister of State for Tourism, during the UPA-2 Rule. Shri Balakrishna is the brother-in-law of Present Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Mr. Nara Chandra Babu Naidu. Mr. Balakrishna is also an M.L.A. (Member of Andhra Pradesh State Legislative Assembly).

KHAIDI NO. 150 (PRISONER NO. 150), robs Rs. 1000 million from the crazy brainless youth of Andhra Pradesh

Shri Chiranjeevi's Khadi Number 150 released with much fanfare in 1404 screens all over the world. In Rupee terms also, the film is said to have raked upto Rs. 1 billion (Rs. 100 crore). The film also claims to have grossed in United States of America itself a million Dollars. Our Mega Star Hero forgets that he is a Former Union Minister, forgets that he has to act with grace and dignity vis-a-vis his past preachings to people, dances to lewd dances. We need not say, that Telugu film fights like their Tamil and Hollywood counterparts will be unrealistic. The film is said to be a remake of the Tamil film by name "katti" (knife). Chiranjeevi plays a double role of 1. katti Seenu (villain-dress hero carrying a knife) and 2. Shankar, a do-gooder Anantapur District villager who is on a mission to make a representation to media and judiciary in Hyderabad.

GOWTHAMI PUTRA SATAKARNI

Shri Nandamuri Balakrishna is a Telugu Desam Party M.L.A. from Hindupuram Constituency which incidentally is in Anantapur District of Andhra Pradesh.

This film is also reported to be releasing in about 1000 screens globally. The producers and director also may be expecting to make another billion Rupees, a la Khaidi No. 150.

Story: Gowthami Putra SAtakarNi was a Satavahana Dynasty Emperor, who ruled a substantial part of India, during the 2nd Century A.D., with dhAnyakaTakam as Capital (DharaNikota-Amaravati, Guntur District, near the Capital Region of the Andhra Pradesh State). There is much historical haziness about the indepth quality of rule of the Satavahana Rulers. Telugu People take pride, in the glory of the Satavahana Rulers, who are also known as "Andhras", the words 'Andhra' and 'Telugu' almost used both for language and the region, synonymously. Like his father, Late Mr. Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Shri Balakrishna may be ambitious to carve a niche in folk, historical, and mythological films. The film can generate mother sentiments, because Satavahana Rulers prefixed their names with the names of their mothers. Father of Shri Balakrishna, introduced a romantic song, for a negative character like Duryodhana, in his film Dana Vira Sura Karna. Likewise, Mr. Balakrishna can also go with some romance for the warrior king Gowthami Putra Satakarni.

Producing folk - historical - mythological films is not easy. Cumbersome. Expensive. Whatever be the quality of the film, we must congratulate Mr. Balakrishna for his courage and adventurism, in a selecting a rare subject.

WHY 1404 SCREENS? WHY 1000 SCREENS? WHY SO MUCH PROPAGANDA?

Why the Heroes, producers and Directors are so timid?

WE DO NOT NEED ROBBERS WITH CHECK-LUNGIS, PATTA BELTS TO THEIR WAIST, WITH KNIVES PIERCED INTO THEIR CHEEKS, CURLED HAIR, TO ROB PEOPLE!

As an after-effect of demonetisation of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes in India, people are going through tough times, owing to shortage of hard cash. When films are produced with huge outlays, the producers become nervous and also villainish. As distributors buy the films with astronomical sums, they sell/rent out to the Theater owners at high rents. Consequently, hiking the official ticket prices, and black-marketing becomes rampant. For example, a balcony ticket of Rs. 80, The official ticket price is reported to have been hiked to Rs. 250/-. So, if a family of a couple and their two children, have to see both the films, the family has to shell out 250 x 4 x 2 = Rs. 2,000 + auto expenses, petrol expenses, parking charges, soft drinks, popcorn, pea nuts etc. will take the expense to Rs. 4,000/-. Apart from expenses of Rs. 4,000 for going to the films, the Sankranti Festival expenses for eatables, clothes, etc. will be another Rs. 5,000/- per family. There are also reports that at many places a single balcony ticket officially of Rs. 250/- has been sold for Rs. 2,000/- (nearly 8 times more).

then there will be betting on cock-fights, which will cost another Rs. 1 billion for Telugu land.

Bus Operators all over the State, have started charging astronomical amounts for bus journeys,to extort from the people. This will also be in millions.

ARE THE PRODUCERS, DIRECTORS, HEROES AFRAID THAT THEIR FILM WILL NOT GO TO THE SECOND DAY?

More to write and edit. To continue. सशेष. ఇంకా ఉంది.

744 Film producers, distributors, directors do not spend private money when they shot in Morocco! It is public money they are wasting.

Gautamiputra SAtakarNi, under production, with Shri Balakrishna as Hero, is a Historical film. Time of the happenings of the historical events may be sometime between 2nd Century B.C. to 2nd Century A.D. Gautamiputra SAtakarNi was a SAtavAhana Emperor. For sometime, his Empire is believed to have spread upto Ganga River, Magadha Kingdom, and PATaliputra -the former Capital of Maurya Emperor Ashoka. Satakarni might have expanded his Empire to satisfy his Imperial Greed, by invading several kingdoms in Central India. In the process, he might have initiated and participated in several battles and wars across the length and breadth of India.

What is there for Telugu people to take pride in it? Besides, filming any historical narrative, at least as far as Telugu film distributors, producers, directors and heros are concerned, involves murdering the story to the best of their abilities, to satisfy the egoes and marketing superstitions of all of them.

Another important thing, which not only Telugu people, or Indians, but every human on this Earth should ponder over seriously is the amounts wasted on shootings at distant places. We can understand if a French film, relating to French colonialisation of Gambia or Senegal is shot in Morocco, or an English film relating to slave trade is shot in Cameroon or Sierra Leone or Morocco.

What Gautami putra SAtakarNi has got to do with Morocco, or North West Africa? Why they are spending public moneys to satisfy their own fancies, frills, and idiosyncracies? It is reported in Media that they have already spent Rs. 80 million for making travel and other arrangements to take up the shooting in Morocco! It is also reported that several tons of battle-war related material has been despatched to Morocco! It has also been reported that they are going to hire 800 persons in Morocco to take part in the shooting. It appears that Media has been told that the locals of Morocco have faces and bodies similar to Indians!

There are hundreds of places in India which can serve as battle grounds in film shootings. Besides, shooting in Indian locations will generate some employment to local people.

Question: When the producers, distributors are spending their private money why are you worried?

Ans: Nobody will invest personal monies in risky ventures. Producers and distributors may borrow monies from Banks. And if the Banks refuse to lend directly for film production, loans taken for productive purposes in the name of other Companies will be diverted to film production. It is how, billions of Rupees have been diverted from Banks into risky, speculative, unproductive ventures like Film production, Cricket betting, Real Estate, and what not. To give a live example, when Mr. Vijay Mallya borrowed thousands of crore from NINETEEN BANKS, and went on a spending spree, everybody praised him as a dynamic hero. Was it the private money or the public money did he spend?

Criminal Mafias and Money Launderers have become active partners in rotating funds in the film industry. No wonder, we find that directors are beaten up demanding refund of fees. Harder days we are yet to see. Hence it will be childish to say that producers, directors, distributors invest their private moneys. ONLY gullible FOOLS will believe it. This CRAZE for shooting in foreign locations has exacerbated after 1991, when Government of India started getting foreign exchange reserves by inviting foreign investments, distributing thousands of acres to foreign MNCs @ Rs. 1 per acre, liberalising or neglecting labor laws and making Indian laborers slaves of foreign MNCs. On the one side, India's Companies are going into foreign hands, and on the other hand, foreign exchange hard currencies mobilised with great difficulty are being squandered in lavish expenditure abroad such as film shootings, import of luxury cars etc. Our Kings-of-frog rulers believe that foreign investors will never withdraw their investments! Not correct! Someday, foreign investments will be taken back, and fresh investments may not come.

Here is a news from Deccan Chronicle.Com which says that Telugu Film Director Vinayak who directed the film Akhil, and its debut Hero Akhi (grandson of Late Akkineni Nageswara Rao, naTa sAmrAT, and son of Hero nAgArjuna) are arranging to pay some compensation to distributors who could not recover even 20% of their purchase costs of the film.

3. Okay. But one question, is definitely worth asking. How many hundreds of thousands / thousands of thousands of bucks (millions of Rupees) did Akhil take for his film debut film Akhil? Is it proper to charge very high fee for a debut film? Though he might have observed his father Nagarjuna acting with great gusto in his hay days, Akhil, till he gains adequate field experience ought to have been regarded as a novice by the Director. Why did the Director charge huge fee, for a novice’s film? Was he so much self-assured that his film will be embraced by the mad Telugu spectators, irrespective of its merits or demerits? Why did Vinayak underestimate the Telugu spectators?	होने दीजिये । लेकिन एक प्रश्न पुछने लायक होती है। चित्र नटन में सिर्फ विद्यार्धि रहने के लिये अर्ङ अखिल, अपने पहले फिल्म केलिये कितने लाख या करोड रूपये फीज लिया, इस समाचार को वे ही बहिर्गत करना। अखिल अपने दादा ऎ. नागेश्वर राव को, और अपने पिता नागार्जुना को फिल्मों में नटन करना बचपन से देखा होगा, फिर भी, वह काफी नहीं होगा। क्योंकि, बालक पहले किंडर गार्टॆन नर्सरी क्लासेस में शामिल हो कर, प्रथमिक विद्या, माध्यमिक विद्या, इंटर्मीडिय विद्या पूरा करने के बाद, डिग्री में जायिन होना। कभी कभी कुछ रियायत केलिये थोडे बाल मेधावी अर्ह हो सक्ते। अधिक संख्याक व्यक्ति, केवल नौसिखिया ही हो सकते। एक नौसिखिया को हीरो करके, चित्र निर्देशन करनेवाले श्री विनायक महाशय अधिक वेतन लेने में औचित्य क्या रहता है। एक दृष्टि कोण से निपुण हीरो को निर्देश करने से नौसिखिया हीरो को दर्शकत्व करना मुष्किल और सवाल ही होता है। वरिष्ठ और निगर्वी हीरो निर्देश करना निर्देशकों को आसान हो सकता है। फिर नौसिखिया हीरो फिल्मों हिट करना कभी कभी मुष्किल होता है। परन्तु, अखिल अपने प्रथम फिल्म को बडा रॆम्यनरेशन क्यो लिया। (कम रॆम्युनरेशन लिये तो फिल्म वितरकों को परिहार देने के सवाल ही नहीं उटता है।)	అట్లే కానిండు. కానీ ఒక ప్రశ్న ఉదయించక తప్పదు. చిత్ర నటనా రంగంలో ప్రవేశించే వారిని, మొదట్లోనే హీరోగా సంభావించటం ఎలా సాధ్యమవుతుంది. కొన్ని కొన్ని ప్రత్యేక సమయాలలో బాలమేథావులు అక్కడ అక్కడ థళుక్కుమని మినహాయింపులు కోరుతూ ఉండవచ్చు. నాగార్జున పుత్ర శాతకర్ణి అఖిలుడిని మనం అట్టి బాల మేధావిగా భావించ వచ్చా. పాతకాలంలో అయితే , కొన్నేళ్ళు రంగస్థలం మీద తమ హావభావాలతో ప్రేక్షకులను అలరించి తరువాత సినిమారంగంలోకి వచ్చినపుడు జనం వారిని ఆదరించిన సందర్భాలు ఉన్నాయి. గొప్ప దర్శకుడిగా పేరు పొందిన శ్రీవినాయకుల వారు, అఖిలుడిని హీరోగా పరిచయం చేయటానికి ఎన్ని కోట్లను ప్రతిఫలంగా పుచ్చుకున్నారో మనకు తెలియదు. ఒక కోణంలోంచి చూస్తే గర్వాంధులు కాని కొందరు సీనియర్ హీరోలతో పోలిస్తే, ఎంతో కొంత అహాన్ని వారసత్వంగా పుచ్చుకునే హీరో పుత్రులను డైరక్టు చేయటం చాల కష్టం. డైరక్టు చేశాక, ఆఫిల్ముకి జనామోదనాన్ని, నగదామోదాన్ని పొందటం ఇంకా కష్టం. ఏది ఏమైనా, కారణాలు ఏవైనా, శ్రీ వినాయకుల వారు, శ్రీ అఖిలుడు, పిత్తిన ముత్తైదువుల్లాగా, తేలుకుట్టిన దొంగల్లాగా కూర్చోకుండా, తీవ్రంగా నష్టపోయిన అఖిల పంపిణీ దారులకు కొంతైనా ఊరట కల్పించటం ఆనందమే. వారు తమ ఛార్జీలను తగ్గించుకుని ఇతర దర్శకులకు, హీరోలకు మార్గ దర్శకులైతే ఇంకా మేలుగా ఉంటుంది. అయితే ఛార్జీలను తగ్గించుకునే దర్శకులన్నా, హీరోలన్నా, కొందరు వేలంవెర్రి వెర్రి వెధవలైన పంపిణీదారులకు చులకన భావం ఉండచ్చు. అయితే వినాయకుడు, అఖిలుడు మంచి పంపిణీదారులను వెతుక్కోటం అవసరం.
4. What should be the lessons for the Film distributors? In Telugu cinema field, many good Telugu films which have junior heros find it very difficult to get distributors. Why did the same junior-hero-shy film distributors paid so much moolah to Vinayak Akhil Band Company?	फिल्म बांटनेवाले क्यो क्या लॆसन्स सीखने का है। साधारणतः जूनियर हीरो चित्रों को तॆलुगु चित्र रंग में वितरक ही नहीं मिलते है। फिर, वितरक श्रीविनायक अखिल बैंड कंपॆनी को बडे बडे पैसे क्यो दिये।	ఫిల్మ్ పంపిణీ దారులు నేర్చుకోవాల్సిన పాఠాలేమీ లేవా. ఉంటాయి కానీ, నేర్చుకోరని వేరే చెప్పాల్సిన పని లేదు. జూనియర్ హీరోల చిత్రాలను కొనటానికీ పంపిణీదారులు ముందుకు రారు అనేది కఠోర వాస్తవం. మరి శ్రీ వినాయంక్ అఖిల్ బ్యాండ్ కంపెనీ వారికి, పంపిణీదారులు ఎన్నేసి కోట్లు చెల్లించారో తామే బహిర్గతం చేస్తేనే బాగుంటుంది.
Telugu people are too poor and too starving to be robbed.	దోపిడీ చేయబడటానికి తెలుగు సాధారణ ప్రజలు నిరుపేదలు. వారికి తింటానికే లేదు. వారికి ఈ సారాలు, ఈ సినిమాలూ, ఈ సిగరెట్లూ, ఈ క్రికెట్లూ ఎందుకు.

603 My name is OZYMANDIAS, King of Kings.मेरा नाम ऒजिमांडियास, राजाओं के राजा हूँ। నా పేరు ఒజమాండియాస్, రాజులకి రాజుని.

WE DO NOT KNOW that Telugu People will be too ready and willing to be ****ed @ Rs. 250 million per film. हमें पता नहीं है कि, तॆलुगु जनता को, एक फिल्म के लिये रु. २५ करोड हिसाब पर मार सकते। మాకు తెలియదండి, తెలుగు ప్రజలను ఒక్కో సినిమాకు రూ. 25 కోట్ల లెక్కన విషయించ వచ్చని.
Else we would have made some billions. Now what is the use !!! We are all gone !!! पता है तो, हम बिलियन्स बना सकते थे। अभी क्या फाइदा है। हम सब गया हूआ है। తెలిసి ఉంటే మేము బిలియన్లు పిండుకొని ఉండేవాళ్ళము. లక్షలతో తృప్తి పడాల్సి వచ్చింది. ఇపుడు చింతించి ఏమి లాభం. మేమంతా ధూళిలో కలిసితిమి కదా!!!

After the fall of Maratha and Mughal empires, i.e. the 1st half of the 18th Century, robbers named PinDAris and Thugs, raided villages, riding horseback, killing people recklessly, abducting women, and snatching away gold. According to some historians, these Thugs and PinDAries were the soldiers who lost their employment, but had guns in their hands and horses under their seats. Though some British Governor Generals took credit for eliminating the Thugs and PinDAris, fact remains that their incarnations continue even now in Chambal Valley, UP, and Bihar.

Down the South India, we do not have the Thugs and PinDArIs in the rugged rustic form of horse-riding gun-wielders, but in the form of film stars. We need not name them, saying them Razni Kanth, Mahesh Babu, Pavan Kalyan, Chiranjivi, Amitabh Bachan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Amir Khan,Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, so on and so forth. Calling the so called mega stars as Thugs and PinDAris will be an insult to the Thugs and PinDAris.

How can we solve this problem in Total Socialism, your fad?

Total Socialism without "Awareness among People" does not really materialise. Even if somebody tries to force it upon people (Lenin tried his Brand of Communism, but it is not clear whether Soviet Communism deteriorated during his lifetime , or during the decades following his demise, upto 1991), such coercions will neither benefit people nor last long.

There is also a dire and imperative need for a visualisation and discussion of how things are to be during Total Socialism, before pursuing it as a fantasy or as a goal. It is, therefore, a good question, to examine how the problem of Mega Stars, Mega Cricketers, Mega Sports-persons including Tennis Players, Footballers, and thousand other celebrity classes pillaging the poor Indians, and the World-- can be set right in the new set up.

We must also keep in mind, the malfunctioning of State monopolies in Entertainment and Information Sectors. Still, when compared to what is happening in the name of Films, Sports, Entertainment (&c.), it will be better even to have a very little, as long as it is qualitative. But, then again, there arises a problem of defining what constitutes 'quality'.

What I am concerned, is, about persons performing labor worth $10,000 per annum, and taking away $10 million as remuneration. This cannot be allowed under the pretext that people develop a craze towards some Xyz calling them Mega stars or a Super Heros and that Market is paying them, why should we object. If "Market Paying huge amounts on its own volition" is correct, then there should be no need to corner theaters, and jack up prices, threaten small producers, and black market the tickets during the first week. Though there may be nothing wrong in calling the Protagonists in films-- Mega Stars and Super Stars, there will definitely be great danger in allowing them to knock away, the whole cake of Revenues from films. The proletariat of the Film Industry (i.e. Junior Artists, Technicians, part-timers and others including Cinema Theater Gate-keepers) should have protested and revolted against this abominable State of Affairs in the Film Industry, which is robbing its own proletariat, but also the macro-proletariat of Andhra Pradesh and India.

Since the Total Socialism which we aim at, will not have a monetary economy and a market economy. what an actor gets in a State-Produced film will only be his food + clothing + shelter + old age security on par with any other worker in a Socialist Set up. In Proletarian Democracy (This has been mis-termed as Dictatorship of Proletariat by Karl Marx, and misinterpreted by dictators like Stalin and Mao Tse Tung, Castro and Kim to mean Totalitarian One party rule and Dictatorship.), Workers will decide (they can decide with a secret ballot), on the role to be played by artists such as actors, dancers, singers, and entertainers-pastimers like sports persons.

My name is OZYMANDIAS, King of Kings.. मेरा नाम ऒजिमांडियस्, राजाओं के राजा हूँ। నా పేరు ఒజిమాండియస్ !! రాజులకు రాజును నేను !!

TODAY'S ENGLISH POEM

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)

//Ozymandias//

  I MET a Traveler from an antique land,
  Who said, "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
  Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,
  Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
  And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
  Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
  Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
  The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
  And on the pedestal these words appear:
  "My name is OZYMANDIAS, King of Kings."
  Look on my works ye Mighty, and despair!
  No thing beside remains. Round the decay
  Of that Colossal Wreck, boundless and bare,
  The lone and level sands stretch far away.

IN TELUGU LANGUAGE, MY MOTHER TONGUE

నేనొక పురాతన గడ్డ పై చూశానొక యాత్రికుడిని. ఆ యాత్రికుడన్నాడు:

"ఎడారిలో రెండు మొండాలు లేని అతి పెద్ద కాళ్ళు నిలబడి ఉన్నాయి. దాని దగ్గరే ఇసకలో ఒక చితికిపోయిన ముఖం సగం కూరుకుపోయి పడి ఉన్నది. కనుబొమలు ముడుచుకు పోయి ఉన్నాయి. నుదురు ముడతలు పడింది. అతగాడి హృదయంలేని సుగ్రీవాజ్ఞ ముఖం పై ఇకిలింత, చక్రవర్తి మనోభావాలను శిల్పి బాగానే చదివాడని , అర్ధం చేసుకున్నాడని, చెప్తున్నాయి. ఆముఖ కళవళికలను ఎగతాళి చేస్తున్నట్లు, ఆశిల్పి హృదయం ఆ కాళ్ళున్న పీఠం పై చెక్కిన మాటలు ఇవి:-- < br / > 'నా పేరు ఒజిమాండియస్, రాజులకి రాజుని. ఓ శక్తిమాన్, నా పనిని చూడు, మరియు నిరుత్సాహపడు.'

ఇపుడా భారీ శిథిలాలకుప్ప చుట్టూ ఏమీ మిగల లేదు. ఇపుడు దాని చుట్టూ అనంతమైన, నిరామయమైన, ఒంటరిగా విస్తరించుకున్న బహుదూరపు ఇసుకపర్రలు తప్ప ఇంకేమీలేవు."

About my indulging in preaching of morals, and then entering huts of tramp-gypsies, this has also been covered.

But I shall add one more point.  There after I shall proceed to reply about guddalu kaDukkOTam (about washing one's own asses).


Your view about dommari guDiselu दॊम्मरि झोंपडियो के बारे में आप के राय దొమ్మరి గుడిసెలలో దూరటం గురించి మీ భావన.

The word 'dommari ' is a corruption of the root Sanskrit word 'drimmari', meaning one who wanders from place to place.   Why did /do/ will people move from place to place (emigrate and also be on motion)?

तॆलुगु शब्द ' दॊम्मरि ', मूल संस्कृत शब्द ' द्रिम्मरि ' के थोडा बदली हुई शब्द है।  मै इसको भ्रष्ठ या  अपभ्रंश कहना नहीं चाहता हूँ ।  जनत क्यों एक जगह से दूसरे जगह को बार बार चले जाते हैं, कभी कभी ऎमिग्रेट हो जाते हैं  ?

తెలుగు పదం  'దొమ్మరి ' మూల సంస్కృత పదం ' ద్రిమ్మరి ' లో వచ్చిన స్వల్ప మార్పు.  దీనికి నేను భ్రష్ఠము, అపభ్రంశము అనే తీవ్ర పదాలు వాడదలుచుకో లేదు.  ద్రిమ్మరి అంటే ఒక చోటునుండి మరొక చోటకు తరచుగా మారుతూ, కొన్నిసార్లు వలసలు కూడ పోతూ ఉండే వాళ్ళు.

Personally I believe, but I cannot provide you immediate evidence, that European gypsies who moved around that Continent during medieval times, seeming to have finally settled in Romania, are Telugu people.  मैरा विश्वास यह है, लेकिन अभी की अभी  मैं प्रमाण नहीं दे सकता हूँ , जिस संचार जन जिप्सी के नाम पर यूरप खंड में मध्य युग में घूम रहे थे, और अंतिम पैर में रुमेनिया में सॆटिल् हो गये, वें अधिकतर तॆलुगु लोग है।  నా నమ్మకం (మూఢ నమ్మకం కావచ్చు) ఏమిటంటే, యూరప్ లో , మధ్య యుగాల్లో, జిప్సీల పేరుతో సంచరించిన జనావళి, చివరికి రుమేనియాలో స్థిరపడ్డారని చెప్పబడే జిప్సీలు, తెలుగు వాళ్ళేనని.

I have, several times, thought of writing about the moving people of India, but I could not get sufficient analytical data and information.   This time, your comment prompted me to search again to quench my deep desire.  मै कई बार, भारत के संचार महाजन के जीवनों के बारे मे लिखना चाहता था, लेकिन मझे पर्याप्त निर्दिष्ट आधार सामग्री नहीं मिलने से यह वांछा असंतृप्त ही रह गया।  अभी आप के टिप्पणी से मुझे फिर समाचार सेकरण करने के मौखा मिला।  आप को बहुत धन्यवाद ।  నేను చాలసార్లు భారతీయ సంచార మహా ప్రజల జీవన శైలుల గురించి, రామాయణం, మహాభారతం, అశోక గుప్త హర్ష మిహిరకుల సుల్తాన్ ముఘల్ కాలాలనాటి నుండి శోథనా పూర్వకంగా వ్రాద్దామని అనుకున్నాను.  కానీ తగినంత సమాచారాన్ని సేకరించుకోలేకపోటం వల్ల ముందుకు తీసుకు వెళ్ళ లేకపోయాను.  ఇపుడు మీ వ్యాఖ్యల వల్ల, పునః పరిశోధించి, ఆ కోరికను తీర్చుకునే అవకాశం కలుగుతున్నది.  అందుకు మీకు బహుత్ బహుత్ ధన్యవాద్.

My first request is , please do not underestimate dommaris.  आप से मैरा प्रथम प्रार्धना यह है कि, आप कृपा से दॊम्मरियों को कम आंकने से दूर रहीए ।  तॆलुगु में दॊम्मरि गुडिसेलु लोकोक्ति रहे तो भी, उस लोकोक्ति उपयोग करना समुचित नहीं होगा ।  ముందుగా మీకు నాప్రార్ధన ఏమిటంటే, దయయుంచి దొమ్మరి వారిని మీరు తక్కువగా అంచనా వేయకండి.  తెలుగులో దూరేవి దొమ్మరి గుడిసెలు వంటి సామెతలు ఉన్నా అవి న్యాయమైనవి కావు కాబట్టి, వాటిని వాడక పోటమే సముచితంగా ఉంటుంది.

In Telugu language, during my boyhood, I recollect having seen a Telugu film by name 'jayabhEri' in which Late Akkineni Nageswara Rao and Anjali were  protagonists (hero and heroine).  I had the opportunity of seeing this film free at a time when our family was starving, and when I used to restrain myself (out of compulsion from lack of money) from seeing films in cinema theatres, when a 1959 musical hit film  'jayabhEri' was exhibited in an open ground on a Cloth screen by a philanthropist for what purpose I did not know, near Donka Road, Guntur, where large heaps of coal were stored for allotment and transport.  This film had a very long lasting influence on me.

Brief storyline of this film as per the above Wikipedia link:

The story is set around 1600-1700 during the Vijayanagara empire. Kasinatha Sastri (ANR) belongs to a high caste Brahmin family. He lives with his brother and sister-in-law, who is also his closest friend. He treats her like a mother. Manjulavani (Anjali Devi) is part of a troupe that perform plays for money. Being of different caste, the lovers find it difficult to be together with outside prejudices creeping in. The rest of the story is about how ANR marries Anjali, going against the norms and makes people realize that all humans are the same.

For this film, late Pendyala Nageswara Rao gave immortal music.  Late Shri Ghantasala sang them with equal immortality surpassing even Narada and  Tumbura.

To continue.  सशेष. ఇంకా ఉంది.
