We are moved at the gesture of Narayana Murthy towards the welfare of the theatre artistes, giving new dimension to their livelihood with introduction to the film industry. Actually, we thought of fielding him as hero in our film Chalicheemalu. But, it couldn’t happen. We are happy RNM has become a popular director with huge fan following and public credibility.”

Paruchuri Gopalakrishna said: “I knew RNM since two and half decades. One day he came to me, greeted me, for the dialogue we wrote for NTR in Chandasasanudu, which held socialism in esteem. From that day, till this day, he proved himself to the be of the greatest followers of socialism.”

RNM said that Erra Samudram was his 21st film in the lead. “I am not proud or arrogant to say that I have reached stardom with the blessings of the people and well-wishers in the film industry. I am my own star. I am king of my own kingdom. I found immense talent in the theatre artistes, and I believe that they would give a fine future to the film industry.” Erra Samudram will soon be completing its shoot schedules and be releasing on February 7 th or 14th.

The Red Star appealed to the producers, directors and the industry elite: “Please encourage the Teluguness in our Telugu film industry. Let the heroines be our Telugu girls. In the face of globalization, we are taking in and lending out our ideas, technology and other aspects of filmmaking. But, it should not happen with our heroines. We should have perfect Bapu Bommalu in our films with our Telugu girls.” An emotion-packed RNM rendered some revolutionary songs from his previous films. The popular number Em Pillo Eldhamosthava in Ardharatri Swatantram is being reintroduced with new lyrical notations.

Actress KAJAL will soon be seen in a romantic family entertainer. The pretty actress is already going places with the success of her recent release Chandamama. Now the lady has been roped in for director RAVIRAJA PINISETTY’s next flick. Raviraja is known for the superb remakes of Tamil films including Pedharaayudu and Veede. Kajal has been paired up opposite actor RAJA. The movie will be launched in January.

Actor Nithin said that he liked the film ‘Happy Days’ and could identify himself in the film. He said that college days stand unforgettable for many and there will be lot of spirit in them. Nithin shared about his college days freshly in a brief interview.

He said, “My house and college are very close by. One can see my house from my college. I can be visible for my lecturers if I were at home. But still I used to bunk the college daringly. That’s risky indeed. But I like taking risks and they appear thrilling while taking and funny later. Every moment of my college day was interesting. I miss a lot of fun”.

He said that he loves working in college oriented subjects. As ‘Happy Days’ is on cloud-9 many films of that sort are under production and proposals now. Let us see if Nithin will be pulled in by any.

Mantra (Charmy) is a parentless girl and the owner of her ancestral estate ‘Mantra Nilayam’. She wants to sell that big house at the outskirts of the city. But whoever comes as tenants in that house will be killed in mysterious way. Hence no buyer comes forward to buy that house. Finally a person comes to buy the house on a condition. The condition is that someone should stay there for 3 months and stay alive. Then Mantra herself thinks of living in that bungalow along with her friend. But her friend notices some evil spirit and gets frightened.

They vacate the place and come back. Meanwhile, Hero (Shivaji), a rowdy who lives on land settlements approaches Mantra. She asks him to stay in ‘Mantra Nilayam’ for 3 months saying about the place and mysterious deaths. Her thinks to take some commission from Mantra after selling that house. Hence he starts staying there along with his three friends. Suddenly on a day, one of his friends in the group gets killed in mysterious way.

Then the story takes a full horror swing from then. What is Mntra Nilayam? Why there are mysterious deaths? Who is Mantra? Watch on screen to find answers for all these.

Performances:
Charmy excelled in her performance. Especially while showing fear in her face in second half she outshined. She added right tempo for the film with her glamour and performance. Shivaji is appropriate in his role.

Others are up to their mark.

The backbone of the film is music and sound effects. There are many moments where the audiences shake with fear. Editing also appeared to be very sane.

Cinematography should be lauded. Especially the toning effect is used appropriately. Direction by Tulasi Ram is up to the mark and production values are also very well within the requirement.

Analysis:
It is common that majority of horror films many a time justify with rational reasoning at the climax. The horror graph falls down at that point. The crucial part in dealing with a horror subject lies at that point.

The belief and disbelief on evils and spirits depend on the faith of the beholder. It is not required for a horror film maker to justify that there is no evil spirit. That may not be relished by a set of audience. At the same time the director need not prove that there is ‘evil spirit’. Rational minds dislike that. So, a horror film can be concluded with a doubt on existence of such spirits. Such conclusion haunts for longer time. But there would be no doubts in mind once this film concludes. Everything is rationalized at the end.

First half of the film is a mixture of little comedy and some horror. Second half is completely treated with high dose of horror. On a whole, it’s film for good time-pass. The presence of Charmy pulls young crowds to theaters. Music is another added factor for pulling youngsters. The film may go successful if youngsters become its patrons.
