The clash at the box-office of two big stars is usually limited to counting the coffers but on August 6, it turned physical at a theatre in Kukatpally. Ramesh Puppala, producer of the Balakrishna-starrer 'Srimannarayana', accompanied by the actor's fans, descended on the Arjun Cinema in the morning after he learnt that his movie had been pulled off the screen to make way for Nagarjuna's 'Shirdi Sai', which was released...

Balakrishna's omnipotence enriched the farmers with Rs 5000 crores in 'Srimannarayana'. Sadly enough, it is now 'Srimannarayana' who needs the support of ordinary folks to sustain himself at Arjun theatre in Hyderabad. The problem began when the theatre management controversially took out 'Srimannarayana' to accommodate 'Shirdi Sai'. This justifiably ruffled the feathers of Balakrishna's die-hard fans, which lost no time in assembling at the theatre, with producer Ramesh Puppala's backing....

'Poola Rangadu' and 'Srimannarayana' have made Isha Chawla a familiar and popular face in Telugu cinema. Isha is happy with the kind of work she is getting. "Working with Balakrishna was a learning experience. He works hard and is a very supportive person. He helped me a lot in getting my moves right," she says.

If you go to watch 'Srimannarayana' expecting an intellectual side, you will be in disappointment. As the story moves forward, you will realise that the gutsy young chap (Balakrishna) fights impossibly, murders miserably, talks funnily, dances at the drop of a hat in the presence of one or both the heroines, but never makes sense! The film fails miserably without making any sense, as it picked up a subject, which...

It is neither 'Uu' nor 'Ulikki', it is hooting laughter that the film induces. Even without talking about the patent mediocrity of the film, one can expose it by mere description. It has not got a hero; instead, there are two souls who are out to bay for each other's flesh and blood, which becomes clear only towards the end. The Noble Aatma (Balakrishna) wants to retain its ownership of...
