We have a new talk in the Telugu Movie Town ! You all know that 2006 has been a tremendously great year for telugu movies. To sum up this great year in style, we got a few great releases coming up in the next few weeks - namely Sainikudu and Mayabazaar !

Now, I am not the one who usually writes movie previews but it looks like this movie is quickly turning into the talk of the town and gaining steam because of sleek audio and an incognito style of marketing (the producer and director are keeping the story & concept under close wraps till the very end) !

Check this out!!!

Archana & I thought it would be fun to put together a new project called “Mayabazaar - pic stream” ! We took some images from Idlebrain and a sleek song we liked from the audio (Hi Lovely!) and created a cool picstream using Jumpcut !!

Talking about the technical crew of the movie , one of the main highlights is the director - Mohanakrishna Indraganti. His venturesome first movie, ‘Grahanam’, a gripping silver screen version of the famous Telugu writer Chalam, won him a national award but left him craving for limelight. This time, he is back with B.Satyanarayana, producer of Missamma fame, to make a feel-good entertainer with a subtle message! The movie is racing towards theaters on November 23rd and the industry insider talk rates it as something with a potential to become one of the top four telugu movies for 2006 and join the ranks of Bommarillu !

Update
Unfortunately, this movie has been delayed until further notice due to some pending work on the movie graphics. Bay movies will be updated pretty soon with the new showtimes & schedules.

Looking at the indiaglitz trailers, the depth of the technical crew and the insider talk, it looks like this movie is going to rock and roll at the box office !

So, Hype machine says

4.2/5!

Bay-movies bought the bay area (CA) rights to this movie and will be screening at the Ubiquitous Sagar’s Park Theatre location in Fremont, CA.

Disclaimer: I must confess though, that I am part of the team that bought the bay area screening rights of this movie :)…so come, watch it, judge the hype and Enjoy !!

When I was growing up in India in the 80’s and 90’s, no one could deny the entertainment juggernaut that Michael Jackson had become in those days, the remnants of which are embodied in the hoards of fans that he attracts to this day at his concerts and shows all over the world!

The power of the star may have faded in the wake of recent black coats and lawsuits that surrounded him, but he remains an inspiration to tonnes of new generation talent and is still the crowned ‘King of Pop’.

That apart, was is true that Jackson was an inventor of the 45 degree frontal lean and had a patent on his name to this effect? Apparently yes, according to this link here!

One of my all time favourite song … ‘what a wonderful world‘ by Louis Armstrong.

I like the lyrics.. it’s simple yet powerful.

So go ahead .. sing along

Check out this cute malaysian little girl singing like a diva! Now, I donot know malaysian but this girl looks and expresses herself so well !!

I am no expert in her language (probably malay) but I was really pleased with her body language - the way she used her hands, eyes and shoulders,

The world today is bound by so many rules.I try taking a leaf out of the revolutionary movement which started at MIT and given this world a a very powerful ,free Operating system and coming with it a great set of tools.I realise Free software is more about the philosophy and the changes it wants to bring in to this world than the software itself.I am curious if this can be applied to Music too.
Iam a to-be-engineer and my life has pretty much revolved around it.
And always a big fan of both technology and music.Neither of these work without the other for me.
And hence i try to find a correlation between these two .I believe very firmly in the philosophy of Free software and opensource movement.Its not about technology or
software that motivates me, its the underlying objective and the goals it attempts to realise
