Priyamani F***s Make-up Man!

In an attempt to vent her anger due to the negative response she has got, sultry actress Priyamani made her make-up man a scapegoat. Despite of that high voltage skin-show that can melt any strongest man in this world, Priyamani stepped into the batch of masala babes. In her latest release, Sumanth's 'RaaJ', Priyamani has no hurdles to stop her for going wild. Though the film failed at the BO for its miserable content, many romantic lovers applauded this dusky beauty for her dare bare raunchy acts. However, she looks dark in complexion at her neck and hands in the movie most of the time. The look is completely disgusting in some night effect scenes also. This happens to be the carelessness attitude of her new make-up man, as this dusky babe needs lots of paste for her dull finish skin. Frustrated by the reports from industry, Priyamani fired her make-up immediately, as per sources. Brushing this mallu-chick with white colors seems a tough job guys!

C-Centre audience enjoying Jr.Shakeela

Everyone knows the impact of soft-core star Shakeela's flicks at the Box Office and how some producers minted money with her dubbed flicks. Sustained ban on such films made her lovers miss those steamy scenes a lot, especially in the c-centre audiences. With the advent of Jr.Shakeela, those centres are running housefuls fulfilling the awaited desires of strong men. Despite of the film's fate at the Box Office, VN Aditya's 'RaaJ' was pushed into the category of Soft-core flicks due to the explicit scenes it portrays. Those who have seen those intimate episodes of Sumanth-Priyamani are saying that this gorgeous babe is looking more like 'Shakeela Junior'. With some soaking hot lip-kisses and dare-bare skin show in songs, Priyamani is strikingly hot in the flick and is said to be shaking the parts of eligible men. While industry is saying that Priyamani is in the bad-books of Telugu Cinema with her vulgar shows, C-Centre people are stating that she is in their 'hot-books' forever.

Priyamani cheated in lip-lock

Before the release of 'Raaj', it was everything a part of publicity for heroine cum secret producer Priyamani. The sultry actress opined that locking lips with hero on screen is not a big deal at all for her. Luckily the kiss raised the good promotional element for film. Even Priyamani felt that kissing sequence was an essential part for the script and story. So, did it with much more involvement as how she would perform for any other scene. Now, the fate of movie is reversed and declared to be a biggest flop. Priyamani is now making a hue and cry in film circles saying that director VN Aditya over exploited her sexy structure and cheated kissing scene was non sense in film. Sensuous exposing has become vulgarity overnight. Many say that Priyamani got less than Rs.6 Lakhs as a part of her remuneration and that's the reason she is firing on 'Raaj'.

National award winning actress Priyamani defends lip-lock

National award winning actress Priyamani who was torn apart by bad reviews of her sleazy action in 'Raaj' defended her role. She claimed that lip-locks are part of their job as actors and that it was well shot and aesthetically shown in the film without any vulgarity.

Though audience were shocked for tacky lip-lock scenes and explicit content in this movie, Priyamani is non chalant about their response.

"V N Aditya did a good job in treating the lip lock well on screen. It was beautifully shot and didn't look vulgur at all. If the role demands, we have to kiss and there is nothing wrong in it. It is a part of our job. Raaj got mixed response from the audience. I am looking glamorous in the movie and in the next film too, I will look glam" Priyamani hinted.

Sumanth Disowns His Own Film

Sumanth’s career has been going through a rough patch. His last three films Boni, Golconda High School and Raaj, have bombed at the box office.

Interestingly, he has now ‘disowned’ Raaj, a film that has been unanimously trashed by all critics.

Responding to the criticism, the actor said that all the flak was justified.

The actor also said he foresaw such a result while doing the film itself. Pre-release, there was a lot of buzz about the steamy scenes in the film that had Priyamani and Vimala Raman in lead roles.

On Tuesday, he tweeted saying, “Honestly, didn’t expect much from Raaj. It was more or less a salvage operation after the original director was let go off.”(sic) Despite the criticism from all quarters, Sumanth found that the film had a good opening, which has caught the actor by surprise. Wonder if it was hype about steamy scenes which pulled the crowds or did they want to see how bad the film was!

He has already begun working for his next film, said to be a love storycum-action thriller aimed at the class audience. The flick is going on floors from April and a new heroine will be signed for the film.

Hot Sexy C-Grade Heroines

As such, they belong to the top league of quality heroines in the Telugu cinema but then they are being deemed as sexy C-grade heroines. Wondering what the logic is? Well, here is the story. The heroines we are talking about are the trio of Anushka, Priyamani and Charmy.

Reports say that if any of the three are there in the film, the C centers are recording thumping openings. Also, whenever there are no new releases, it is a tradition to re-release old movies and the buzz is that only their movies are being released which are in great demand among the C-center audience.

Apparently, it is the high sex appeal and visual oomph that these three beauties generate which makes them hot property. The regular flicks featured are Billa, Mantra, Drona etc and sources say there is a nice business demand for these movies and above that, the enticing trio of Anushka, Priyamani and Charmy.

'Raaj' Review: Rubbish And Bullshit!!

Rating: 1.5/5Banner: Kumar Brothers Cinema
Cast: Sumanth, Priyamani, Vimala Raman  and others
Music: Koti
Cinematography: Jagan
Screenplay, direction: V N Aditya
Producers: Kumar Brothers
Release date: 18/03/2011

The class hero Sumanth has now arrived in a commercial formula treat and this time he has enough ammunition in the form of the heroines Priyamani and Vimala Raman. Let us see how the film is.

Story
Raaj (Sumanth) is a fashion photographer. He loves Priya (Vimala Raman) but he loses her whereabouts and reluctantly gets married to Mythili (Priyamani). But he is unable to tell Mythili about Priya and finds it difficult to adjust with her.

However, things change and they get close. Just when things look to settle, Raj sees Priya. He decides to ask her why she left him without a word and lies to Mythili that he is going to London. Who is Priya? Why does she leave Raaj without a word? What happens to Raaj-Mythili’s relation after Priya’s arrival? All this forms the rest of the story.

Performances
Given his sophisticated looks, Sumanth is a total misfit to this character. He failed in romance, fights, dance and looked disinterested while enacting the emotional scenes. Despite having strong steamy scenes with Priyamani, Vimala Rama he could not deliver that chemistry.

Priyamani goes totally extreme in her skin show and does justice to her remuneration. To be frank, the film will receive any response only due to her severe exposing. However, she should have taken care in the make up and costumes department. Some scenes make her look like a C-grade heroine.

Vimala Raman did her best to ooze glamour but she couldn’t get past Priyamani. But she scored better than Priyamani in the makeup, costumes departments. The flip side is the dubbing for Vimala which reminded of a monotonous TV artist. Already, her performance is weak and the dubbing put her in negative scale.

Srinivas Reddy gives an overdose of adult comedy and Ali has no limits to his flavor of adult comedy. Ajay had nothing to do as a villain. His characterization makes you feel that the old timers Nagabhushanam and Rajanala were much better. The rest of the cast were just for formality sake.

Highlights

• Cinematography
• Locations

Drawbacks

• Terrible songs
• Weak dialogues
• Amateur editing
• Botched up direction
• Obscenity in romance scenes
• Stale twist in second half

Analysis
Despite many attempts, it is clear that Sumanth fits the best for classy roles and is a total misfit for commercial and mass roles.

Either he is being misguided or he is not aware of his own limitations. If only he stuck to classy roles and sophisticated image, he would have got the backing of select audience and could have made his career as a minimum guarantee hero.

‘Raaj’ is one of those masterpieces which belong to the category of torturing the audience in every scene and camera movement.

Right from first scene, the audience goes through third degree torture and becomes a victim of the director’s creativity. The film reminds many of a C-grade Malayalam movie and if you thought that tsunamis happen only in the seas, ‘Raaj’ will give you the experience in cinema theatre. 

Bottomline: Beware!! It is a dangerous torture!!
