ReviewGunasekhar’s ‘Shaakuntalam’ offers nothing new in terms of interpretation or presentation, and is content to stretch a simplistic version of the myth of Shakuntala to the length of a feature film. YouTube/Tips TeluguIn his famous poem ‘No Amnesiac King’, Ak Ramanujan writes: “One knows by now one is no amnesiac king, whatever mother may say or child believe. One cannot wait any more in the back of one's mind for that conspiracy…” The ‘amnesiac king’ here is Dushyanta, a righteous ruler who ‘forgets’ his wife due to a sage’s curse, and leaves her to fend for herself. In mythology, this conspiracy is the subject of a bittersweet romance as is often the case when there is a wronged woman at the centre of a story. She is pure and pristine, and eventually, the universe proves her right because of her virtue, and the man recognises the value of her womanhood.

It was the grandfather of Ntr Jr, Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, the Telugu superstar of his time and the original Ntr, who became the first non-Congress chief minister of Andhra Pradesh in 1983, riding on the powerful slogan of Telugu Vari Atma Gauravam (or Telugu people’s self-respect). He was the supreme leader of the Telugu Desam Party, which is now helmed by his son-in-law, Chandrababu Naidu.
The ‘Naato Naato’ win was a booster dose for this ‘self-respect’, which Ntr (the original) kept drumming home during his historic Chaitanya Ratham marathon mass contact movement across the state, which saw him covering 75,000 km on his remodelled Chevrolet van.
And guess who accompanied him throughout this criss-crossing of the then unified Andhra Pradesh? It was Ntr Jr’s father, Nandamuri Harikrishna, an actor who started his career playing the baby Lord Krishna in Ntr’s 1967 mythological classic drama, ‘Krishnavataram’.

Movie Review | Ginna: With Vishnu Manchu’s unmatchable comic timing Ginna is praiseworthy, hilarious
The film revolves around Ginna (Manchu Vishnu), who runs a tent house business in Chittoor district. He is a dreamer and is not very smart either. Despite his on-job shenanigans and capacity for disasters, Ginna is essentially a good person, but his greed always gets the better of him.
There is another track in the film. Ginna has two best childhood friends – Swathi (Payal), who is in love with him, and Renuka (Sunny), who left India but returns after 15 long years to reconnect with her friends.
Now, Ginna, who is down in financial dumps, makes a plan to exploit his US-returned friend Renuka, who just happens to harbour a secret. And soon, strange things begin to emerge, which forces Ginna to investigate Renuka’s scary past. What does Ginna learn in the process forms the crux of the story.
