I would like to begin a new discussion on the latest trend in the telugu movies
>because I heard that some recent movies in the Bollywood  have been very decent
>with good story,melodious music etc... whereas many of the telugu movies being
churned out nowadays are typical Masalas catering to ??? I guess they are
 lacking in any appreciable features for which telugu movies for renowned for a
 >long time.


   I agree and disagree with  you....
   Have seen few movies from Bollywood recently which are no jollygood..
   Though the music part of your saying, is more than cent per cent true,
   the stories are awfully bad and stereo typed. The only story in any
   new hindi film is the age old Poor hero-Rich heroine or vice versa
   combination with these two Romeo-Juliet or Devda-Paru fighting 
   against all odds of soceity to unite. Generally their parents
   acted by veterans are enemies, who do not approve their marraige
   and so on....  I can quote umpteen of recent movies including
   Quayamat se Quayamat tak, Maine Pyar kiya and on and on... (This
   is no BOLD generalization... I'm sure..)

   But some of recent telugu films are novel in story with excellent 
   photography, music and direction... Like Pelli pustakam, Jandhyala's
   comedies (I see none parallel in hindi), Shiva, Indrudu Chandrudu
   (may be commercial, but surely different... right?) and so on.
   In general, I find them to be better in technicl side; photography by 
   guys like  Anil Malnad... and good music by Ilayaraja (none near
   to him in Bollywood) and many new youngsters and good young directors like
   Ramgopal varma, Vamsee, Jandyala and many others..

   But... yes these constitute 1-3% of the films produced every year in Telugu.

    Adi naa abhiprayamu....

     untaanu..

Subject: Need details about two characters in Mahabharat and Ramayana.

To editor: please disregard my previous mail on this subject as I accidentally
           mailed it when I wanted to cancel it. Correct message is as 
           follows:

Hello my dear telugu friends,
                             can some of you provide the details of following
two mythological characters?

       1. From Mahabharath:  ULOOCHI(she is connected with Arjuna, but I don't
                                     anything about her)

       2. From Ramayanam: MATSCYAVALLABHA(I suppose he is son of Hanuman)
