The Year in Pop. Watch. The phrase “guilty pleasure” has long outlived its usefulness. If you really like a song or a movie or a TV show, no matter how cheesy the conventional wisdom says it is, you should feel free to say so without guilt, and to defend your appreciation vigorously.

That’s one reason why I (and, judging by the number of comments, you as well) enjoy reading Mandi Bierly’s Pop. Watch Confessional columns. They get at how important entertainment really is in our lives, and they open the emotional floodgates for readers by reminding you of things you’d forgotten you loved.

It was this sort of writing — passionate discussion of things individual writers cared deeply about — that marked the best of Pop. Watch for me in 2. Whether or not you shared Michael Slezak’s enthusiasm for Fergie, or his appalled feelings over The Bachelor, you had to enjoy his writing about those subjects, maybe more than the subjects themselves.

Same for Annie Barrett on The O. C. and reality TV, or Adam Vary on American Idol tapings and Transformers toys, or Simon Vozick- Levinson on hip- hop, or Chris Willman on country music and Bruce Springsteen, or Marc Bernardin on sci- fi, or Whitney Pastorek on music festivals and indie film, or Ken Tucker on Friday Night Lights, and too many others to name. Looking back on my own writing this year, I found myself writing far too many obituaries — we lost too many talented people in 2. I also found they led to some of my most passionate, and most warmly received items.

Credit here properly belongs to those who inspired me.) I also got worked up writing about such issues as free expression, the hijacking of pop culture for partisan political purposes, and the war on film critics, all of which are, of course, linked. That these continue to be issues of contention saddens me, and it’spartly our fault as critics and journalists for not doing a better jobof explaining what the stakes are. That’s why I am so grateful to havebeen part of Pop. Watch in 2. 00. 7, to have a forum to raise such issues andstart a conversation. So while I want to thank all the writers,editors, photo mavens, tech wizards, interns, and celebrity guest bloggerswho helped put together Pop.

Watch in 2. 00. 7, I especially want to thankyou, the readers, for your lively, intelligent, and civil commentary. We posted nearly 2,5. That kind of response is incrediblygratifying to us, whether or not you agreed with what we wrote, becausewe relish our ongoing conversation with you. Hope you’ll continue tocomment as fervently in 2. Look forward to hearing from you.

Nene Raju Nene Mantri’ film review. Rana Daggubati returns as a simple village money lender who will stop at nothing to realise his dreams. Riding on his recent success as Bhallaladeva in Baahubali, Rana Daggubati is back as Jogendra in Nene Raju Nene Mantri (I Am The King And I Am The Minister), or NRNM. The film, directed by cinematographer- turned- director Teja, who has several successful films to his credit, looks into the murky, murderous politics of the day and how a simple cut- throat village money lender pulls out all the stops for the one he loves dearly, and in the process treads the path of no return. NRNM has all the elements of making a good movie, but what it lacks is a cohesive binding factor. It starts out well, promising a gripping tale of vendetta and ambition. But, Teja crams too many twists in the tale, introduces too many irrelevant characters and quite a few implausible situations that drain the viewer much before the climax, which turns out to be a denouement.

A simple storyline has been complicated and stretched far too long. Easily, half an hour of the footage could have been edited out to sustain the viewers’ interest. So here’s our protagonist, who’s facing the noose, seeking to recount his life’s story live on TV as his last wish: Jogendra’s world revolves around his wife, Radha (Kajal Agarwal), a woman with a heart of gold who, for instance, returns the ornaments pledged as collateral to the woman whose husband has taken a loan from Jogendra. Watch Main Street Hindi Full Movie. The apple cart of their happy, contended life is toppled with a shove by the village chief’s wife that results in Radha’s miscarriage. A hurt and insulted Jogendra realises it’s difficult to take on the powerful village chief (Pradeep Rawat) unless he himself becomes Sarpanch of the village.

While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her. Watch Fifty Shades Darker, the full movie.

And thus he embarks on a game of one- upmanship and by using money, power and machinations wins the hearts of the people to win the election. It is said power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It proves right in Jogendra’s case as well. Not contended with being sarpanch, he sets his sights on becoming a legislator; next the home minister and finally aspires to become the chief minister of the state. On the way he kills a few people including the minister who had set his evil eye on his wife. While he thinks he is doing it all for his wife, the lady stays a mute spectator although she despises her husband’s means to achieving his goal.

To add to her torment there’s a new entrant in her husband’s life — Devika (Catherine Tresa), a manipulative TV journalist. What events lead to Jogendra being convicted forms rest of the story. Watch Planet Ocean Dailymotion. Teja loses the plot halfway through. Otherwise NRNM would have become a good political thriller. Watch Dirty Wars Online Forbes more. Performance- wise Rana does well. His mannerisms and dialogue delivery are praiseworthy.

Kajal looks demure displaying right emotions. Catherine Tresa is there just for glamour. Oopiranta nuvve and the title number Jogendra Jogendra Jai Bolo Jogendra stand out among the songs composed by Anup Rubens. A word must be said about background score — it was too loud, to the point of being irritating. The details. Nene Raju Nene Mantri. Language Telugu. Cast: Rana Daggubati, Kajal Agarwal, Catherine Tresa, Ashtosh Rana, Pradeep Rawat.

Music: Anup Rubens. Direction: Teja. Run time: 2 hours 3.
