Had to finally see this movie in Konark Theatre on Saturday 2nd Aug. Please read the review !
The film is about an IPS officer Hari (Kalyan ram) who is busy investigating the murders of a news reporter (Prabhakar) and then a well known doctor (Rajeev Kanakala) and then discovers that these are the murders done by his conjugal twin Ram (Kalyan ram).
The story goes that Ram has a problem with his brain and is unable to control his hyper emotions about few things which makes him a beast at times. He would not even hesitate to kill and does not like anyone being praised or belittling him. In this process, he builds a grudge against his own brother who is good at everything and tries to kill him right during their childhood. Their mother (Seetha) is unable to tolerate all this and takes it upon herself to change Ram, so she takes him away from Hari to avoid further hatred but then not much change happens in the nature of Ram even after they grow up.
Meanwhile, Hari is often chased by Anjali (Priyamani) who poses as a bank employee but in truth she is actually a CBI officer who comes to arrest Hari since she suspects his hand in the killings of a news reporter (Prabhakar) and a well known doctor (Rajeev Kanakala).
Apparently, the doctor happens to be the younger brother of the health minister Siva Reddy (Kota) and from then on the minister is closely on the heels of the killer. Anjali finally manages to arrest Hari successfully through a plan of hers and soon she realizes her folly when she chances upon his mother and understands the entire story of Hari and Ram.
Priyamani is impressive in her role as naughty girl and a powerful officer. She looked glamourous in the rap song, the last song, in the film. Sindhu Tolani played a key role in the film and is good in her role. Rest of the cast did their roles as required. Some comedy was tried with Ali, Brahmanandam and Venumadhav. Only Brahmanandam's track was successful to an extent.

Kathyanayakudu Review !!
Kathyanayakudu (remake of the Malayalam Katha Parayumbol) has the special aura and look of a typical Rajini film yet, in the place of the usual style king, audiences get to see the emotional actor in the Superstar. The Telugu remake has of course deviated from the original and incorporated a few interesting changes, Rajini's role has been considerably expanded, yet the movie is completely devoid of artifice and commercial frippery.
The story of Kuselan goes like this: Two childhood friends grow up together in a small village, then go their separate ways. One rises to become a superstar. The other struggles through life and barely ekes out a living as a barber in the same village. When the barber and the superstar meet, there is evidently a clash of personalities. But how do they overcome their differences and rekindle their friendship?
Nayantara is simply gorgeous and Meena warms audiences' hearts. Sunil, as the unfortunate barber who has to abduct customers to cut their hair, is absolutely enjoyable. Sona is his sensational pair.
The best part is that in the role of a superstar, Rajini has taken this opportunity to answer some important questions put by his fans. Why he is avoiding politics? Why do movie cameras focus mainly on the industry's big shots like Rajini and Kamal? Is there a secret behind his periodic visits to the Himalayas? If you watch Kathyanayakudu, you are sure to find answers to all these questions!

The Top TEN Fundas of a successful manager
Like good actors, good managers are born. By the same logic bad managers are also born. They may study in best of management institutes and consult best of management treatise but remain unmanageable themselves.
The top ten Fundas of a successful manager, not necessarily good manager (good manager is a myth) are given below for your benefit. Who knows with so much liberalization setting in you may be elevated or simply redesigned as a Manager one of these days.–
1--Subordinate is always at fault. This is different than saying boss is always right.
2– Give up politeness. Being polite is a symbol of weakness.
3– Keep one or two confidants who can bring you the latest news and explain you in simple terms, things you don't understand.
4– Do not hurry to dispose off files. If you do so, not only more files will pile up, you will be termed as casual and not being thorough.
5– In case you are under pressure to 'fix' responsibility and take up, catch hold of the last man in the row (lowest in rung)
6– Announce inquiry only after deciding what line inquiry should adopt and what would be the findings.
7– Feeling out of place in a discussion with nobody bothered/aware of your presence? Butt in by diverting the topic from Sahara to Antarctica or Vice Versa.
8– Keep them guessing and fighting among themselves. Avinash, Sekhar, Sai, Rama and Raghu need to be kissed and kicked as per occasion. Remember tale of wise monkey and stupid cats with a loaf of bread.
9– In case you simply fail to understand a subject, (after all managers too are human being) you want to avoid or want to kill the issue, try one of these:
Please discuss
Please link rules/instructions
Please link practice
Please quote precedent
Please call a meeting of section heads/inter-section/inter-dept/inter-ministry.
10– If all these fundas fail, go for this SOS - Discuss nation, national character and moral values. You can feel a strange hush overpowering the atmosphere.
Keep these top ten fundas clear and you would find `line clear' throughout your career.
