It’s all about Love this month. Valentine’s Day is upon us and for the next couple of weeks at every turn we are going to be seeing love-struck red hearts with Cupid’s arrow running through their mushy center. However, this seemingly harmless celebration of love and romance has met with objection from religious fanatics and ‘disciplined’ cultural groups who look at Valentine’s Day festivities like it was an onset of a fatal epidemic. One can only hope that they have removed their monochrome glasses and will let the spirit of the season open up their hearts and minds. Let this Valentine’s Day be a day to celebrate love of all kinds, to foster peace and to bridge all our differences. In keeping with the flavour of the month, our usual spread of features is infused with romance. If you were wondering who the desirable singletons in movietown are, we have made our list, tracing the romantic history of a few of them too!

Devil's Alleys
Choosing a Genre to Dwell on, Is Not an Easy Choice for a Filmmaker. He May Have Several Ideas in a Basic Stage. He May Then Want to Make All of Them Into Scripts, or Combine Ideas Into a Single Film. Romance Goes Down Very Well With Our Audiences, So Does Action. A Genre Which Is Still Not Embraced in This Society Is Psychological Thriller.

V For Victory
Most of Tollywood Has Been Classified and Ruled by a Couple of Leading Clans and the Daggubati Clan Is One of the Most Powerful Amidst Them.

One of the Most Decorated Actors of Tollywood.
Making a Story Matter!
Shifting careers and finding success in whatever one chooses to foray is not a talent that comes naturally to many... A visual communications graduate with photography as a hobby turns it into a career as a photo-journalist. From here, he turns his attention to cinematography and despite winning the National Award for his chosen career in his debut movie itself and going on to be noted for his work in his subsequent thirteen movies, the man decides to foray into direction. Here he finds his ultimate calling and after just a miserly six movies as a director over a period of twelve years, each of his movies are still eagerly waited upon by Kollywood audiences. Yes! This might seem a sophisticated fable indeed. However, this is no fable but the career story of KV Anand who is celebrating the success of his recently released directorial Kavan!
Truth Or Dare
Cinema is a powerful medium to tell a message to the masses. But the way you tell it, makes a big difference. Producer VINOTH KUMAR, director RAJAPANDI and actor VIJAY VASANTH have put together a tale that combines entertainment and social awareness, taking care not to sound too preachy.
True All-rounder!
Sahaya sheelan shadrach is not too common a name in kannada cinema and even most of the ardent of sandalwood fans would find it hard to recognise the multi-talented artiste who goes by a different screen name. When sahaya sheelan decided to enter movies, he was given a screen name by upendra; a name that has become synonymous with comedy and music in kannada cinema. The name is sadhu kokila and he is one of the best comedians as well as music directors that sandalwood has seen till date; but these two aren’t the only avatars he has aced in cinema... He is also a highly successful director, producer, lyricist and screenplay writer.
Ramp to Reel! The Big Step Forward...
With a burning passion for acting, Mohnish Raheja started off on the right track by taking to modelling and gradually moving into TV commercials before taking the big leap into cinema!

Mohnish has begun working on his maiden movie, a Telugu-Tamil bilingual which is expected to hit screens in 2017. Read on to see what keeps Mohnish ticking, from some excerpts of a tete-a-tete with him...
