Sahayam reveals a secret about Kranti to PR.What's it & how it changes their plans for each other forms rest of the story.

Highlights:

NTR rocks in Kantri ! He is absolutely brilliant in every aspect.His unparalleled dancing abilities,killer looks,terrific performance in action sequences and excellent
dialogue delivery together made the film a treat to watch.
Debutant( for Telugu screen)director Meher Ramesh did a wonderful job as a writer& director.Unlike many other so-called Stylish directors,he stuffed the movie with Style &
substance resulting in some very enjoyable action episodes & confrontation scenes with heavy applause from audience.
Hansika is Ok,the love track between the lead pair isn't much impressive.Sexy Tanisha didn't impress much.
Music by Mani Sarma is Ok. Choreography for the songs Vayassunami,I go Crazy standsout.
Action(Stun Siva), Cinematography(Sameer Reddy) are impressive.
Comedy is less when compared to action but it is impressive.
First half is Very good.

Sidelights:

second half is just Ok.Though it has a pretty good dance number( I go Crazy) and a surprising twist towards the climax, the second half treads the beaten track with more
action scenes leaving less space to others.
The film is lengthy ( 2:45 mins)
& Just like any other mass film this film too has some serious logic errors but won't do much damage at the Box Office.

Etc.,
NTR is in attacking mode.kaNTRi has some dialogues which can send jitters in the industry circles & Politic sections.

Public Talk :

A thorough entertainer for Fans & Masses.Paisa Vasool flick for all others.

Industry Talk :

Super success assured.Good mass entertainer,Chopping the length will be much appreciated.

SUNIL PROFILE

2008-04-06T22:39:00.000-07:00

Sunil is an actor from the Telugu film industry. His roles usually are to provide comic relief to the audiences. In Andala Ramudu (2006), he appeared in the lead role probably for the first time. He won several awards for his comic abilities.

Born in Bheemavaram, Sunil's early childhood saw the death of his father when he was just five years old. His mother toiled hard to raise him after this incident.

Sunil's early aspirations to the movie industry were fueled by watching films with Chiranjeevi in the lead role. Watching these films right from elementary school, Sunil dreamt of being a good dancer. He even went on to win awards in a local dance competition. With one of his teachers suggesting him of Bachelors in Fine Arts, he pursued this course. Thereafter, he attempted stage theater for a start. Due to his persona, he was not given enough opportunities in the theater.

In 1995, he entered the film industry by performing dances. He thereafter joined a dancing school in Hyderabad but to no real avail. He considered art direction as well to make his ends meet.

Sunil's career began on a slow note with movies like Second Hand being stopped from production, and Peruleni Cinema where he was hardly given an opportunity to showcase his abilities.

Premakatha and Swayamvaram were his first real opportunities in the industry. However, due to mismatch of events grabbed him of good chances. Chirunavvuto and Nuvve Kavali were the first films that he acted in. Nuvve Kavali was the first one to release to the audiences

ALI PROFILE

2008-04-06T22:27:00.000-07:00

Ali
Born
October 10, 1970 (1970-10-10)
Rajahmundry
Spouse(s) Ayesha

Ali is a popular South Indian actor who has acted in more than 790 films in Bollywood and the Tamil and Telegu film industries.

Early life and career

Ali was born in a poor family in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, India. His father was a tailor and his mother was a house wife. Ali developed a passion for acting since childhood. When he heard that renown director Bhagyaraja was looking for new child artists to act in his movie Seethakoka Chiluka, Ali went to Chennai and attended the screening at Bhagyaraja's office. Bhagyaraja was pleased with Ali's performance and gave him his first film role.

As a child artist, Ali had acted in a variety of movies but as he grew older, he was no longer suitable for child roles and roles stopped coming his way. But he held on to the film industry Chennai and waited for a breakthrough role.
This made him more focused on his career and thus, Ali started his second innings in Tollywood, as a comedian.

It was director S. V. Krishna Reddy who had given him the much needed break with comic roles in his movies. Even though no suitable roles were present , S. V. Krishna Reddy used to create new roles for Ali. Mr.Reddy suggested Ali to have his own style of dialogue delivery.Ali developed his own style and in this way a new comedy modulation was born which created waves in the cinema industry, which was popularly known as Chaata'. This was developed with Alis own way of pronunciation. This became an instant hit and opportunities started flooding Ali.

Ali later had a string of huge success for a couple of years as a comedian hero which only a few like Rajendra Prasad, Mohan Babu and Chandra Mohan had achieved turning him into a common face in the late 90's, which was a revelation.

SAYAJI SHINDE PROFILE

2008-04-06T20:43:00.000-07:00

Sayaji Shinde is a Marathi film actor from India who is popular in Bollywood, Kollywood and Tollywood.
Career

His career started with a decent role in shool but it was the Tamil film Bharathi that made his career. Playing any role in a language that you do not know is diffifult. Not only did he play a Tamil role, but he played the role of Tamilnadu's greatest ever poet and writer, Bharathiyar. The film, directed by Gnana Rajasekaran, gave him the state award.

While Shinde was acting in Calcutta Mail, Allu Aravind and Ashwini Dutt recommended that Shinde play the villain in Tagore. Since then, he has been in demand in the telugu industry also.

PRAKASH RAJ PROFILE

2008-04-06T20:42:00.000-07:00

Biography - Prakash Raj

Prakash Raj or Prakash Rai (ప్రకాశ్ రై) born 1957 is a famous actor and producer in the Telugu and Tamil film industries (Tollywood and Kollywood respectively).

Prakash Raj was born and brought up in Dakshina Kannada district in south Karnataka.His mother tongue is Tulu. Now he has shifted his base to Chennai due to numerous offers from Telugu and Tamil films.

He has acted in Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, and Hindi films. His original name 'Prakash Rai' in Kannada screen was rechristened to 'Prakash Raj' by K. Balachander for Prakash Raj's debut movie 'Duet'.

Prakash Raj began his acting career with Kannada DoorDarshan serials like Bisilu Kudure and Guddada Bhootha. He later took up small supporting roles in Kannada films like Raamachari, Nishkarsha, Lockup Death and etc and was noticed for his dialogue delivery and histrionics. His breakthrough role came in form of Harakeya Kuri starring Vishnuvardhan and Geetha, directed by K S L Swamy. His performance in the movie was noticed by Geetha and she in turn introduced him to her mentor, the noted director K. Balachander. Prakash Rai re-entered Kannada films with a bang through Nagamandala in 1997, directed by T.S Naghabarana.

Prakash Raj is a very famous actor in South India for a wide variety of roles he has performed, most notably as a villain and of late, as a character artiste, in Tamil and Telugu. He is considered to be one of the most natural actors in the film industry, and has a good reputation for his acting skills. He was also a part of Mani Ratnam's stage show, Netru, Indru, Naalai.

Prakash Raj has also won several awards including two national awards - One for the 'Best supporting actor' in Iruvar and also a special jury award for his exemplary performance in 'Dhaya' - his first directorial venture.

Though Prakash Raj is purely from Karnataka, he couldn't make it big in Kannada films, owing to lack of support to the new-comers and lack of good-offers. However, he struck gold in Tamil and Telugu film industries.

Recently he took on the mantle of producer and has produced 3 movies in Tamil (Kollywood). Out of the 3 movies he produced 2 are box-office hits and also are critically acclaimed. His movies are generally acclaimed by the audience as good quality movies and are also considered as family entertainers. Also as a producer his selection of movies typically have natural storylines. His movie named Poi (lie in English) which is directed by his mentor and veteran director K. Balachander, who is incidentally directing his 101st film was a non grosser. It has Uday Kiran as hero. Both Director ( K Balachander) and Producer (Prakash Raj) acted in this movie as Good and Bad.

His latest production venture in Tamil Mozhi, directed by Radhamohan, starring himself, Jyothika, Prithviraj and Swarnamalya is a blockbuster. Now he is also very busy as a producer for his 3 forthcoming films with lead actors.

ALI AS " DONGA SAMULODU "

2008-04-06T19:58:00.000-07:00

Poori Jagannath is the one director who creates special comedy roles for comedian Ali in his films. If

we go back to film like

1. Idiot- Bikes thief,

2. Pokiri- Beggar,

3. Super – artist,

4. Desamuduru—Gudumba shankar

5. Chirutha—Nachchimi

All these roles brought good popularity to Ali as well as films.

Now Mere Ramesh is directing the film Kantri with NTR. Meher Ramesh was the associate of Poori Jagannth. So Meher Ramesh is creating another comedy role Donga Saamulodu for the film Kantri. As for the internal source, the role is going to pour tons of laughs in the theater.

The film is likely to release on 30th April.

IS IT THE TRUTH?

2008-04-06T19:57:00.000-07:00

Star producer Aswini Dutt is making the film Kantri with NTR& Hansika in the lead roles. Meher Ramesh is directing his first Telugu film. He was the assistant of Poori Jagannath. As for the filmnagar sources, Meher Ramesh scripted Kantri keeping Pawan Kalyan in mind and narrated the script to Pawan, somehow Pawan didn’t like that script and politely said No to that director.

The director went to Bunny with minor changes in the script, even that couldn’t get finalized. Finally he approached with some more changes in the script, NTR immediately accepted to do this film.

FOUR VILLAINS IN KANTRI

2008-04-06T19:45:00.000-07:00

Kantri, NTR starrer, has four villains. They are – Prakash Raj, Ashish Vidyarthi, Sayaji Shinde and Murali Sharma. The last one plays the main lead villain. He had earlier done the anti-job in Athidi, Mahesh starrer. Though Murali Sharma is a Bollywood figure, he has some amount of fluency and comprehension of Telugu. Already the music of Kantri is making swirling rounds all over the state.

KA'NTR'I MAGIC

2008-04-06T07:53:00.000-07:00

It looks like happy days are here again for the Tollywood folks, with news that 'Jalsa' has opened to some decent openings another film that is catching fever is the NTR starrer 'Kantri'. It is known news that the audio of the film was released without much ado directly into the market and now it is heard from the producer Aswini Dutt that the audio got sold out immediately in no time as soon as it entered the stands. Let us hope that even the film gets such an overwhelming response.
