Jr.NTR'S Shakthi-->Cover Story

Amidst a huge fan base Jr NTR's Shakthi is geared up for a April 1st release worldwide.The bad fate that has been haunting Aswini Dutt,the producer of Shakthi is bothering a lot in the circles of NTR.From the first day of the movie started its canning,the hype generated was astronomous,let it be the fans or the common cine goers.Shakthi being a periodical script demands a huge budgeted sets,costumes,remunerations and many.And the script even should be in such a way wherein you are at a position of recovering the entire production costs with a table profit.Aswini Dutt was very much clever in ending up this part to a safe corner.Now the distributors are very much worried as the MG's were not received at the pace which was carried on during the initial stages.Now the movie is drowned by a bad pre release talk and the low quality expected output.

      NTR after the success of Brindaavanam was on a spree of signing as many as films he can,though he signed Shathi before Brindaavanam,due to various reasons the shooting got shelved for a quite a long time.So it was Meher Ramesh,the director of the movie who was on a skate board to complete the movie as quick as possible.The story of the film, which was leaked out by the closest sources couldn't catch up many of the fans as it was more likely on the lines of many periodical films.Ntr getting into the shoes of multi characters was an asset for the movie as said by the director,but when the posters with NTR's new dimension was revealed peoples dissatisfaction was observed during the audio launch.

    The audio set at a greater peak when compared with its co-releases couldnt stop the negative talk.From the director,"Tarak would be seen in four different characters,he would enthral you with his dances,humor and what not?",but the working stills show a very poor work that has been carried on.The costumes of NTR,his wig reminded people of eastmen days.The pre-go down for the movie is not only due to a low quality output but also a co-release of big star cast movies like Theenmaar,Mr.Perfect,100%love etc.The leading lady of the film Ileana,is marking a re-entry into the TFI with shakthi,she is waiting for blockbuster out of Shakthi.Ileana wasnt that great in the posters released day before.She was kind of monotonous throughout and guess some one has insisted her to take an oil dip before and after a shot,she looks so dizzy and gummy in scenes.


 To speak,Mani Sharma has done his part well to na extent,he projected three songs on charts and the rest are expected to be at their best once they are screened.The movie is out from censors on 24th march and is awaiting a grand gala release on april 1st.If the movie gets a huge disappointment at the box office on day 1,the whole and sole responsibility goes on to the fans.On their discussion boards each of them were visualizing NTR to break the records of Magadheera ,rather then chucking of the topic with the outcome.A huge expectation can cause a too huge loss in the buisiness of the film.The hype generated for this type of risky experimentals should be rather on a lesser note,now if they are at peaks you have no option between a 1 and a 0.The movie is slated for release on april 2 nd for its tamil version,where the crew is entirley retained.
Only time decides the fate of such experimentals and please dont listen to the talk generated on the first day,its a FOOLs day,rather you check out and decide.
