Maghadeera banned in Vijayanagaram!

“The screening of film Maghadeera is banned in the entire Vijayanagaram district.” Surprising? This is the order passed by none other than the uncrowned king of Vijayanagaram district Minster Botsa Satyanarayana. Keeping in view of the accidents happened at Lakshmi theatre in Saluru, where five people died of electrocution, Minister opined that to avoid such incidents further, ban on Maghadeera screening is inevitable. His decision came as a surprise to one and all, including his own party people.

The uncrowned king of Vijayanagaram further clarifying his decision, said that ‘Only Maghadeera film is witnessing huge rush at theatres. All other films released in the recent times are not so crowded like this film, hence there is no necessary to impose ban on the other films, except this one.’
He didn’t clarify whether if he like to ban all the other films, if they are also attract the large crowds? If, the same thing happens with film ‘Anjaneyulu’ which is releasing tomorrow, shall he ban that film also? What about the hundreds of other theatres in the state which are screening the same film with the same conditions? Shall he order the closure of all theatres? Is he the right person to declare a ban on the theatres? There is no logic in his decision except politically motivated idea.

Instead of such hasty decisions, first he should demand an explanation from the concerned Officers who ignored the safety in the theatres. Instead of imposing a ban on the theatres, he should suspend the concerned officers who failed to regularly monitor the safety conditions of the theatres. But, the uncrowned king of the district thinks otherwise. Because the hero and producer of the film, Ram Charan Tej and Allu Aravind both are belong to his rival party Praja Rajyam. Isn’t enough to impose a ban on the film? (more...)

Allu Aravind announces compensation

Producer Allu Aravind has announced a compensation of one lakh each to the family of five victims who were killed on Sunday in a stampede for tickets at Lakshmi Theatre, Salur, for the screening of Ram Charan Teja's latest Telugu flick Magadheera.

While describing the deaths as unfortunate, the producer called upon theatre managements to take steps for the safety of cine-goers. He conveyed condolences to the bereaved families, on his own behalf and on behalf of the film unit.

The tragedy occurred when a crowd standing in queue near a booking counter at Laxmi theatre in Salur town of Vizianagaram district, jostled against each other, desperately trying to get the tickets for the first show. Some enthusiastic ticket-seekers climbed the parapet wall of the booking counter to buy tickets. In the process, they lost control, caught an electric wire and fell on the crowd along with the live wire. After this, there was a stampede.

The dead were identified as Pothanapalli Apanna (20), Pilli Linga Raju (18), Kadapu Latchaiah (24), Dukku Ramesh (25) and Reddy Durga (26). They were taken to the Salur Community Health Centre where they were declared dead on arrival. (more...)
